Wishing for Warmer Weather

If there's a good snow storm and a good hill there's a good chance I'll be there. I don't mind winter time, but if it's going to be cold outside there should be lots of snow too.

At this time I'm wishing for warmer weather. Hot days and cool nights lend to mountain exploration and great photo opportunities. But until then here's a couple photos to get me by.
 
 

Melanie

Melanie and I met a few times in different locations for her portraits so she could give her husband a surprise for Christmas. These two below are from the last time we met and probably at the top of my list for favorites of her.
 

Jill Stevens

The last time I saw Jill was years ago in high school. She is the former Miss Utah, a soldier and currently an emergency room nurse. It was fun to catch up with her while taking photographs.

New Lens Test

After acquiring the Pentax FA* 80-200 f/2.8 lens (yes, I'm excited) last week from France I thought I'd share a few of the first pictures from it. Yes, it was shipped from France. This lens is quite rare, and it's been even more difficult to find one in the condition I wanted.

Just in Time for Christmas...

...See some of my photos at the Canyon Gallery, located in the historic Rock Loft in Fruit Heights. Canyon Gallery is a very nice, quaint fine art gallery and they are currently featuring one of my photographs of Santa for Christmas. They have multiple size prints available too!
And here's another one of my photos displayed at the gallery below, visit them and tell me what you think.

A Few More...

While many braved the crowds and tried to avoid getting trampled last night I was enjoying the comfort of my home working on recent photos. Or maybe I had just eaten too much and didn't want to get up...
