HamBone
This is one of my most favorite photos -- ever -- and it's ironic it was taken in a place of which I dispise; Iraq. It was a grab shot -- after a gun run we had to take the trucks to the motorpool for repair - Hambone drove and I rode shotgun; in the GreenZone. Sometimes HamBone lead on to be my friend - and sometimes he didn't. I always tried to be HamBone's friend.
HamBone was a lineman - after surviving Iraq - and some 1800 missions in the red-zone - he died 5 months after returning from eletrocution after grabbing a hot wire. At the wake he was dressed with white gloves becuase his hands were so burned; so I heard.
Footprints in the sand
I just can't get over these scanned slides - they are wonderful.
Waterman Ink
Now when was the last time you saw a shelf full of ink ??
Micro Composition
Sam Abel described micro-composition when he discussed
his mantra of the photograph, at an event here in SLC.
See the bartender -- that's micro-composition.

Collegues from the office FFKR Architects took Honors at the Salt Lake City Can-Struction competition.
The Office
I've been testing out the Canon SD780is PowerShot at the office -- and while it's no D2h, it has it's place. The photos are good -- not great -- but the HD 720P video is nothing more than remarkable !!
Versace
Pictureline Salt Lake City sponsored a presentation last Friday night and a subsequent "photowalk" by Vincent Versace - www.versacephotography.com - sufice to say Madeline I were able to sign up for both - his availability to share years of the good, bad and ugly were priceless.
Behind the scenes
This is a photo of witness to one of the many coordination telephone calls in the day of a successfull construction project. I'm glad to be on this project.
Engagements
The Engagement photo shoot from last weekend went really well - the client was really pleased. Now on to the Bridals in a a few weeks.
ScanCafe
A few weeks ago I received the return of about 400 35mm of which I had scanned at www.scancafe.com.
Every once in a while I will post a few -- as I marvel at not only the subject matter, but the fact that these images are finally being seen -- some for not 30 years.
4 Years ago
Four years ago this weekend I arrived in country -- Baghdad, Iraq. This was the first picture I took as I was traveling to what became a work detail for change of command at the International center near CrossSwords. It was hot - very hot - I didn't like it very much.
9200 FEET
Last weekend I ventured to the Wind Rivers Big Sandy Lake, 100 miles NE of RockSprings Wyoming, on a 3 day back-packing trip with old friends and new friends. The air was thin, the packs were heavy, and the pain was satisfying.
