The Wonderful World Of Lagoon!
Lagoon has been an excellent family getaway amusement park in Northern Utah since July of 1886. It was originally about 2.5 miles west of its current location, but was relocated in 1893 due to receding levels at the Great Salt Lake.

The Hanson Family
I just love fun portrait shoots. The Hanson Family ~ Bob, Michelle, Tyler, and Zach were just such a shoot. They are the kind of family that make shooting pictures worthwhile, and make me really enjoy what I do. The whole family aside from being very photogenic, sure makes creating the images a whole lot easier with lots of laughter and "natural" posings. We did the shoot in just under an hour using only natural morning lighting. Normally I would be all over using artificial lighting with strobes and umbrellas, but I was really liking the final outcome of the images without using them. With very little post processing we were able to satisfy the look they were out to achieve. Click Michelles' picture to view a few images from the shoot!

THE SALT LAKE CITY TEMPLE
The Salt Lake City Temple has got to be one of the most amazing architectural designs that I have come across. This project was started in 1853 and forty years to the date April 6th, it was completed in 1893. Its amazing to me how structures of this magnitude were built. One stone at a time. It is mind boggling when you see the construction cranes, boom lifts, and the equipment it takes to build the casinos and high rises across the Vegas skyline, but knowing projects like the Temple were built by hand with no help from expensive mechanical equipment. Structures like this took years of planning, and well thought out designs with craftsmanship which could never be matched today in a world of styrofoam, stucco, and fake facade's.

What will tomorrow bring?
I found this old camera buried under a heap of boxes and stuff when I was going through and cleaning out some stuff...I remember when these came out....."Oooh the leather case......Oooh the flip up compact design, and wow look at that zoom....but it arises the question of where do I plug in the USB cable?
and now we have moved on to these....unlimited storage capacity, multiple file type storage, remote control strobe technology, HD ready, and still, this is yesterdays camera, ......I wonder what tomorrow will bring...say the year 2025?
Kilo, Mega, Giga, & Terabytes.....
Finally found a really cool storage backup for the laptop. I've never been able to find a drive small enough in size but large enough in storage capacity until I came across the Seagate Free Agent....this drive is smokin fast and ultra small......up to 250 GB which is plenty to store just about everything I use without having to keep my laptop hard drive filled up...The great thing about this drive other than size is that I found it for under $100 at Office Max....Read More About It Here...oh and what comes after a terabyte......???

NEW EQUIPMENT ADDITION!!
Just purchased the new JVC Everio Gz MG330....this thing is amazing and so handy when I don't want to lug around any of my larger video cameras, It has a 30 gig hard drive built in as well as mini SD card option....I've owned a lot of various hand held video cameras, but not hold a candle in size, quality of video and features as this little one does. It comes with Windows software only, but me being an Apple guy, i downloaded MPEG Streamclip by Square 5 a free download, and a separate codec for playback from Apple for about $20. How fast and amazingly simple videos are to download, edit, upload and burn out on dvd if you choose.....For around $400.00 i think it is onle of the best camcorders for the money with all of the options and features you get!
