This is BIG!

I've just set up an online store! It's just about the coolest thing ever, seriously. It makes orders so much easier and faster for everybody involved. I've already got it up and running and soon I'll be able to announce something else, something even bigger than that. Stay tuned for more...

Studio Samples #2

Here's the next in a series of studio samples that I'm getting this month. It's a huge canvas print from one of my best friend's wedding. As you can see from the picture, it's 40" wide (that's almost 3 1/2 feet!) and 28" tall. I'll be making it into a gallery wrap as soon as I finish a new invention to stretch the canvas. I think I'm pretty safe in saying that it will be pretty darn cool.




Yep, canvas prints are cool.

Jeff & Melissa

Jeff and I go way back, clear back to junior high. Logan is such a popular temple to shoot at. Check out the pictures with the mountains in the background. They're so cool in the spring.

March - The Month of New Studio Samples

I'm so excited for the month of March, and not just because it's the beginning of spring. This March is going to be the best one ever because I'm ordering several new studio sample prints. The first of them arrived just last weekend and I've already got it framed and on the wall. I don't know if any picture can do the Salt Lake temple justice, but this is as close as I think we'll get. It's printed on a special kind of paper that adds a little extra pop to the image itself. You've got to see it to understand what I'm talking about. Here's an image of the file itself and another one of it on the wall.





Be sure to stay tuned for more pictures of these samples throughout the month. It's gonna be big!

It's the National Sleep Awareness Week

That's right, it's the National Sleep Awareness Week. Actually, it's been going on since Sunday. I just wanted to post about it because I know how important sleep is - how it's so misunderstood and it's importance is overlooked so often. Check out this website and take some interesting quizzes about sleeping. You could even help a friend out by sending them the link.

February Birthdays

There are so many memorable birthdays in February. Obvoiusly the most notable are the birthdays of the two greatest presidents this nation has ever had, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Now these are two men who I definitely want to be like. But I got to thinking why it is that the original Mr. President still has an old design on the $1 bill. I mean seriously, they have a new design for Alexander Hamilton but not one for George Washington! Well, I figured that I'd go ahead and design one, or at least see what it would look like. So here are my two favorite presidents, both with new bill designs.




Oh, I almost forgot the other memorable birthday in February, mine! Yup, I'm officially one year older and wiser too or at least, I'd like to think that I'm wiser. I have to thank my kid sister (Katie) who chose the awesome candles for this cupcake and my other sister (Jenny) for decorating it. Who knew that 27 candles could fit on one cupcake?



PS - Just so you know, it's not a good idea to let the candles burn all the way down to the frosting, especially when there's as much frosting as this cupcake had. The shortening in the frosting burst into flames about 8 inches off the cupcake. It would have made an awesome picture too, but my instincts kicked in and I sacrificed the cool photo in order to save the cabinet overhead from becoming engulfed in flames, otherwise I would have got a picture of that too.

Several Weddings

I've got a lot of pictures from weddings that I've never posted, so I figure that now is as good a time as any.
