2008 Spring Salon

I entered two images into the Springville Museum of Art Spring Salon. As usual I got one in and one rejected. Every time I have submitted to an exhibit at the Springville Museum I have had the same result. I guess I can be happy with a 50% acceptance rate. This image has already been in a couple of exhibits but I was curious how it would do in Springville so I am glad it got in. The exhibit is open from 27 April - 6 July 2008.

New Religious Images

I know it has been a long time in the making but I am finally in a position to start working on the images I started in Jerusalem last summer. I took pictures that were incomplete (missing a person or item) and am now going into the studio to photograph these pieces. I then combine the new elements into the original image. It required a lot of asking around to find out who the right people were and now through the graciousness of the LDS Motion Picture Studio I have access to clothes and props to finish out the images. These will be works in progress but I will begin to post them as I am working on them. These are the first two: "Christ Walking on Water" and "The Carpenter's Son"

Ashlee

My friend Ashlee Stitt asked me if I could do some pictures of her to give to her mom since she has refused to get any taken since some time in high school and usually hates portraits. I guess she caught me at good time since I haven't had much time for portraits the last couple of years. She wanted personality to show through in the portraits more than any thing else. Here are a few of my favorites.
