Pictures from the Farm - 3

Stars & Stripes

I got an email today from a former TA of mine at BYU, his name is Kyle Morgan and is currently deployed in Iraq. Here is the email in a nutshell: "So there I was in the middle of Iraq reading the Stars and Stripes and I see a picture of you teaching a 4x5 class at Utah Lake. I thought that was a bit crazy. Anyways I thought you'd like to know about your few seconds of fame." I thought it was fifteen minutes of fame but I guess I'll settle for what I can get. This was a picture of me that Mark Johnston had taken for an article in The Daily Herald. Kind of random but fun to think military all over the world saw that image. Sorry Emily:)

Ode to Avedon

These are a couple images I took at my Mom's 60th birthday party last weekend. It is my nephew Spencer, who was for the most part cooperative. I let myself be inspired by Richard Avedon's In The American West project. It seemed the perfect approach when I saw him rolling around in the dirt wearing that outfit. I think they turned out fun. Thanks for playing with me Spencer.

The Daily Herald

Mark Johnston a photographer for The Daily Herald here in Provo has been asking me for a while to let him tag along and do an article and photo essay about me and how I teach and photograph using large format cameras and film. Mark took this particular class from me a few semesters back. The article comes out today so if you get The Daily Herald be sure and check it out. For everyone else, here is a link to the article so that you can read it as well. A thank you to Mark for the article. Let me know what you think.


"A Patient Process"

Family Reunion

I have been attempting to go through and start organizing my pictures. What that means is that there is the possibility of discovering some forgotten pictures that deserve a little stage time. So in the next couple weeks and months there should be lots of "new" pictures to put up on the blog. These will be random and in no particular order:)

This is a picture of my dad and his siblings. (minus his oldest sister who is serving a mission in Jordan) It was from a family reunion last summer taken on the steps of my Grandma and Grandpa Lovell's old house.
