Prehistoric Jaws

I shot some features in the the Museum of Modern Life at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. This bad boy is a Carcharodon megaldon. It became extinct about 1.5 million years ago and could grow up to 60 feet. It ate whales for dinner.

Earth Harp

I spent some time yesterday photographing California artist and musician Bill Close as he assembled his Earth Harp at the Salt Lake City Library for the Utah Arts Festival. It took two days and about 3,000 feet of brass musical wire to build. Here is a multimedia piece my coworker Jim Urquhart and I produced.

Snow in June

The Wasatch mountains were treated with six inches of snow today. I went up Little Cottonwood Canyon to make a feature of vacationers soaking in the hot tub at Snowbird. On the drive down the canyon, I stopped to make a couple of pictures of the foggy mountains.



How much is that doggie in the window?

The Brewer's Art

While home in Pennsylvania, I got to catch up with friends Monica Lopassay (Baltimore Sun) and Matt Roth (Patuxent Publishing) in Baltimore. We hung out at the Brewer's Art and had fun light painting with our cell phones while enjoying some delicious Belgian beer.






At Home

I spent some time with my parents and grandmother last month in Pennsylvania. My grandmother cooked a delicious dinner for my 25th birthday. I am also constantly amazed at how my parents sleep with three cats and a dog in their bed.
