Assignment, Commercial Building

My job a few days ago was to make this commercial building look interesting. I did the drive by shot, then got out and walked around. The sky had a beautiful overcast, but the light direction was gone completely. I used a wide angle lens to make the front corner look large and important, enhanced the sky in photoshop, to bring out definition in the clouds. Then I lightened the corner and darkened the walls to bring a little light direction in.

Phoenix

As you can see my grandson Phoenix broke his arm. He shows off his colorful cast as his sister carefully looks on. Gratefully he will be good as new in a few weeks. I remember breaking my leg and wearing a full leg cast in Jr. High. Not fun. As an adult, my profession has been pretty safe. I really don’t get myself into dangerous, potentially, painful situations. Although there was that engagement sitting a few years back that left me with a herniated disk.
I was in the studio moving a prop (a heavy wooden fence) when it fell on my back. The sudden pain told me this was not going to be a simple bruise. I stoically finished the sitting, went home and spent about a week in bed, and a few more weeks hobbling to work. I haven’t hurt myself at work in years, and I don’t even have that prop anymore. Hopefully I will be injury free for many years to come, knock on wood.

2000 Year old stone vase, small oil vessel, fragile clay pot, 2500 year old coin with the head of Zeus, and a cool 2300 year old coin with winged women flying over a monster with the body of a bull. Really fun and beautiful objects.

Just went up the canyon with Dan and Melanie and had a great time, it was a little cold.

We had a great time.

Just watched the Tour of Utah riders sprint up Suncrest hill in Alpine. Of course I took some photos of the riders. When I arrived, I met a couple also watching the race whose wedding I photographed about 16 years ago. Small world!
