Daily photo Challenge, day 5






Portrait time. My brother let me watch his baby, so of course, I photographed him! So cute! And also, I photographed Kristi a few months ago when she was still pregnant, so I threw my favorites of those up too.

Daily photo challenge, day 4



Deck the halls! I fell in love with these Boughs of Holly! Fa la la la la la la la la! 'Tis the season to be jolly!

Day three of the Photo Challenge




So, I haven't been posting everyday, and you probably thought I had already given up on my daily photo challenge. But you're wrong! I have to do some catch up though...
This little series was taken last week when Tal and I took a drive through provo Canyon. All the photos were taken from the car (a specialty of mine). :) Utah is looking beautiful. Check it out!

Which one of these is not like the others?


Day two of the daily photo challenge. Talmage joked it would only last one day. This, of course, solidified my resolve.
Provo recently got an IN-N-OUT. It's been busy 'round the clock. I haven't been yet, but the mere fact that it's there comforts me. It's a little piece of my homeland, Southern California. I think of it sort of like an embassy. Usually, just passing the new IN-N-OUT warms my heart a bit. However, today when I drove by, I felt a kind of uneasy anxiety somewhere near my sternum. Coughing, I pulled the car over, to access my feelings. After a quick moment of introspection, I emerged with the realization that it was the snow (yet again) that gave me such unease. It just wasn't right to see an IN-N-OUT covered in snow. It went so against the grain, that I had to photograph it, so you all could share in my horror. (Don't let the sunshine fool you, it's only 11 degrees outside today.) Shocked, dismayed, but resolute I continue along my photo journey.

Daily Challenge for Myself




(Deep Breath) I am making a committment to myself to go shooting everyday. I hope that the practice will sharpen my skills in Photography, and deepen my enjoyment in the occourances around me. I've decided to post the "mini shoots" on this blog in hopes that it'll keep me honest. It's been snowing like crazy in Provo this week. Take a look at the orchard on Center Street. There's a herd of deer that live in the orchard. Tal and I have counted at least 30 mothers and yearlings but we suspect there are 50 in all. I didn't catch the deer today, but hopefully in future shoots I will. The snow's beautiful, and there's plenty to be had of it!
