Cold Fog at Utah Lake

Yesterday and today I went down to Utah Lake to photograph the trees in the morning fog. It was calm, quiet, and very cold. I shot these black and white images with my Hasselblad 500CM using kodak TMax 400.

Departed Avian

October 11th my wife and I drove out to one of my favorite spots to photograph: Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. On the north end of the Island there are some beautiful rocks lining the shore, and about a mile beyond that a tiny Bird Island. I was surprised to find that the water line has receded so much that I could walk out to the Bird Island.

The tiny Island was completely deserted and empty. Abandoned nests covered the ground and rocks. Millions of bones littered the ground. Remains of dead birds everywhere. It looked as though very few humans had ever actually been on the Island. It felt as though I was walking though someones abandoned home.

I went out to photograph a beautiful landscape and ended up photographing some rather dark images.

Provo River Project

I've decided to work on another personal project I have been thinking about for a while. It'll be a slow-going, every other weekend type of photo project. Here's one exposure I made this evening of a train bridge that crosses the Provo River. I used my Shen Hao 4x5, 90mm lens, Foma 100 film.

Yashica C - Twin Lens Reflex

A few years ago I bought an old Yashica C TLR camera. I only ran one roll of film through it and never printed any of them because of poor quality. Just today I was flipping through some old negatives and found them. I thought I'd scan them in just because. The quality is pretty low, but they have a unique look, which I really like. They are both of Utah Lake.

Portraits of Ecuador - Children

Rich or poor, it seems the children of the world for the most part are happy. I very much enjoyed photographing the kids playing soccer and trying my best to speak to them in my broken spanish. The foundation FEVI spends much of their attention helping the children of Ecuador, after all they are the future.
