Another Uintah Photo Opportunity

On Friday a small group of us set out to get some Great GoPro shots, and some Stellar Stills up in the Uintahs. It was beautiful weather and even though we didn't cover a ton of ground, we had a ball, playing with our cameras. Good thing Brant stepped up to the plate. We all wanted to be taking photos, instead of the other way around, it was pretty funny. Matt hucked some knarly stuff too, it's amazing what dudes will pull for a quick photo. Enjoy.


Matt sends it off a big jump.

Uintah Sled shoot

Me and a few of the boys went for a nice rip up in the Uintahs today. Hard to beat blue skies and a break from work.

Disney World Fireworks

For Christmas last year, we surprised our kids with trip to Disney World. We experienced record cold temps the week we were there, but that didn't slow us down at all. We still stayed out for the fire works each night.

Road side elk

On my way home from Jackson Hole Wyoming the other day, I noticed this herd of elk trotting along side the highway. So I pulled ahead of them, Jumped out, set up my camera, and fired away. It was snowing quite hard but it kind of added something cool to the photos.

Look, I'm alive

It has been over half a year since I have posted anything on this blog. In the last couple of weeks, I have been able to spend a lot of time up in the hills snowmobiling. Here are a few of the photos of the scenic views in the areas we have been riding. I can't post any of the shots of the new 2012 snowmobiles for a couple of months, but when I can, I'll be posting some of my favorite snowmobile shots that I have ever shot.

Memorial Day @ Temple Mountain

I know it has a been a while back, but I forgot to post the rest of the pictures from our trip to Southern Utah Near Temple Mountain. Dabbled around a bit with some nighttime photography and long exposure stuff, kind of fun. Enjoy.

Strottner Engagement pics round 2

It was sill raining on round 2, but I think we still got some keepers. Our first location attempt was at Lagoon, but with the recent hurricane, it looked like a war zone, so we went to the Garden Park Ward in Salt Lake City.
