Pale Rose

I submitted this photo to Shutterstock, it is the first submission that has been accepted. I look forward to many others in the future.

Flowing Water

This is a scene in the Big Cottonwood Creek. I really enjoy cascades that look so peaceful amid the rushing torrent of water surrounding them. A couple seconds on the shutter and a very tight aperture allows this flowing water look.

Silver Lake Walkway

On an outing at Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon I wanted to shoot the grass reflection in the water until I noticed the wonderful lines of the walkway that leads to a fishing dock immediately behind me.

Full Blossom Wine

A glass full of water and flowers is the subject of this black and white composition.

Floral Glass

Using a wine glass, some brightly colored flowers, a little water with food coloring, and a white background with studio lighting I created this lovely setting.

Big Horn Skull

I would like to say that I came across this while out hiking but that would not be true. It is part of a diorama in the Natural History Museum at the University of Utah. I really liked the textures and composition it offered.

Just Plain Bananas

These were really good in the banana bread I made after the shoot.

Mexican Treasures

Judi and I have been in Mexico several times and come home with little treasures each time. I photographed these on our kitchen counter which is black marble, the reflection seems to add so much to each photo.

Sugar and Cream

This beautiful and delicate pitcher and bowl set were given to Judi's mom by her mom. Judi's mom gave it to her and Judi has treasured and protected it for many years. The pitcher is about 4" tall.

Shootout at S&P

I gave this little Cowboy to my mother when I was 6 years old (about 66 years ago). When she passed away she had put a note on it to give it back to me. It is one of my favorite treasures.

Kolob Canyon

This is a view of Kolob Canyon in Southern Utah. Judi and I went for a nice hike there and the sky and clouds were so pretty I just had to capture it.

Gnarled Tree

It had been a dark and stormy night, I had been unable to sleep so I found myself wandering the streets of a strange city. I came upon a very lovely building with a gnarled tree blocking my way. I wasn't sure if it was reality or just a dream. I accepted my fate and took a picture of it. It was real.

Rose Petals

The petals of a white rose with red edges was the subject matter of this photo essay. I has a lot of fun getting these "just right". I used two flashlights to get the light on them the way I wanted it.

White Flowers

A white Carnation represents Love, a white Lily represents Purity and a white Rose stands for a New Start. I was just thinking about depicting the life of the Savior in flowers, so much more but this was a fun start.

Glowing rose.

Shooting with a 2" homemade extension tube and a 24-120 lens on a Nikon D750 camera I was trying to capture a close up of a yellow rose. I had the ISO at 640, +2 exposure value, aperture priority, a window open beside the flower, room lights on, and two flashlights on the subject. It is very difficult to get enough light to focus the camera and it still gave me this very soft focus.
