Stowaway Magazine Spring 2011

I have my first magazine publication, and I didn't even submit my photo. Back in 2008 I traveled with a group of 6 students from Utah State University to Rwanda for a month. I took literally thousands of photographs, some of which you have seen on this blog. It was right after I had bought my new Canon 40D. Last year, 2010, Allison submitted some of her photo's to a photo contest in Stowaway Magazine. They contacted her informing her that her photo had won first place for their Spring Issue, being the honest lady that she is, she noticed it was actually a photo that I had taken during our trip. She let me know that I had won the first place photo contest and they need the information for the photographer and the photo. Thank you Allison for helping me get my first magazine publication without even knowing I had submitted! Interestingly enough, one of Allison's photo's is in the issue as well, under the letter from the editor.

Zion's and Update

Here is a shot from my recent trip to Zion's National Park in Southern Utah. Also, you may have noticed the change to the color scheme and logo. My new website is done and will be up by next week. My good friend Nick Hansen designed the site and the logo. I'll let you know the moment is up and running! Very exciting to finally have a real site and somewhere to display the best of the best of my shots.

From the Archives

I shot this picture in the Summer of 2007 on a backpacking trip to Havasupai. I have heard that the waterfalls have changed quite in a bit in the past few years due to flooding. Guess I need to go back for some new pictures.

Shot of the Week

This is the first free time I've had in the past couple months because I am finally done with all my graduate school applications. I am in the process of teaching myself more about Photoshop so be patient with my little experiments and tell me your thoughts. This is from a Paul and Tina Williams Wedding that I shot back in December.

This is the gum wall near the Pike Market in Seattle, Washington.

This is a four in one shot of the "Boy's of Gisenyi". Walking around the town of Gisenyi, Rwanda you will always see these boys out and about having a good time with whatever sunglasses they can get their hands on.
