Taco Stand Number 3 I have long wanted to do a comparison tasting of some of Salt Lake City's cheapest eateries: the taco stands. Taco carts started appearing on corners around town several years ago, but up until Friday,...
I'm with the band
Upright bass case Ahmad Jamal's bassist, James Cammack, travels with his own instrument, its well-worn airline case stashed behind the speakers at last night's Jazz at the Sheraton concert. That concert series is one of Salt Lake's secret treasures,...

Taken at the 2007 Temple Square photowalk I, for one, am hoping for some wet weather for the December Photowalk because of the reflections of the lights in the wet concrete at Temple Square. The Highway 89 project has...
Deck the Halls with some Textorizer
Lensbaby 1.0 remixed with files from Textorizer2 It's been a while since I launched the Textorizer programs, so long in fact that I had to relearn everything I once knew about it. I prevailed again. I made the original...

Rainbow at the end of TRAX
Arena Station glass Riding UTA's TRAX line for a Photowalking event has to be one of my better ideas - just about the time I got cold (40°F), another train came along and carried the twenty-five or so of...

Photowalking Friday 19 October
Warehouse on 200 South, Salt Lake City This morning, I scouted locations for Friday's photowalk, and found this great doorway. Locations like this building really rock my boat, should be a lot of fun. (That building is really wonky,...
Who are you people?
Met on the street outside Port O'Call, Salt Lake City 'Who's inside?' the driver asked from the car window. 'Is it someone famous?' None of us was swift enough to say, 'Britney Spears.' Six people standing out in the...
Photowalking - Salt Lake City, October 6
Big Blue - Wells Fargo Building, Salt Lake City It's time SLC had some Photowalking! I'll be there if (bad) weather allows. I'm supposed to go do aerials down in Arizona, but if the weather doesn't cooperate, I'm totally...
Restocking the well - wildflower abstract
Wildflower abstraction - 2004 One thing I've learned: I need to remember to "restock the well" that feeds my creative process, hopefully before I completely deplete my resources and exhaust myself. Usually, this requires only a small amount of...
Honey Colored Holiday Cheer
Main Street trees ready for the big display A week ago, the trees were hanging onto their leaves, and last Friday, the "Lights On" crowd didn't even need a coat. The turn of the weather on Saturday night might...

Championship Form
Annabeth Eberle, team captain Annabeth looks like a weightlifter, not a gymnast - maybe that will be her post-collegiate sport. The Utes thumped BYU 196.650-194.350, the equivalent of a 30 point blowout in basketball, or winning by 3 touchdowns....
