Its been far too long

Hello all :) It has been a while. Let me describe the last 7 weeks to you in a nutshell. I finished school and headed down to San Diego to hang out with Jonathan Canlas and the Film is Not Dead peeps. It was amazing, and there will be photos posted (more than what is already on here) and then I headed back up to Utah. Developing and scanning ensued, along with a lot of relaxation. After that it was back to Canada! By complete coincidence, I was able to get a ride out to Kelowna BC to visit my good friends Megan and Andrew! It was the weekend of their ONE YEAR anniversary and I had to be there to celebrate! You might remember these guys, they jumped off a cliff at Waimea in their full wedding getup! We enjoyed a weekend at the lake, and tons of great food. after arriving home and slightly unpacking, I headed out to live in the Waterton National Park with Max, Jon and Leigh for a week and help out at Wieners of Waterton. It was so great to be in the wilderness of my own back yard! While I was around home I shot Karli and Garretts wedding. It was a beautiful day and the pictures are going to be so good. After that week was over, I hopped on a plane and it was out to Toronto to shoot Margaret and Joey's wedding. It was SO COOL to finally get to visit Toronto! I've never been to eastern Canada and so they tried to show me as much of it as they could in between packing and getting ready for the wedding! They were such gracious hosts. We made it to Niagra Falls, up to the TOP of the CN Tower, and ate at one of the craziest chinese food restaurants I've ever been to. The wedding was a party to say the least (I'm pretty sure we were still there dancing at 1:30 am). Ok, this post is getting a little long, I still have more to write about the last week of my break, but it can be discussed in a post of its own. But for now, I APOLOGIZE for being gone so long. Please forgive me. I have tons of stuff to blog. As for now I will leave you with a shot from FIND in San Diego. This was shot on my Crown Graphic 4x5. Can I just tell you how much I love it?? Film Baby....film.

That is one of the most beautiful B&W images I have ever seen. No lie. I love to see other photographers who love film too. I never want to shoot my digital again, but I am a little scared! Should I just go for it?!?!

Thank you Tonya! Just go for it! I've been 100% film since summer of 2009 and I haven't looked back! I understand you are interested in a contax :)

FINALLY! May I speak for most by saying, please do not inflict another famine from your thoughts and creativity ever again. We were starved.
Looking forward to your little collection that was amassed over the past 7 weeks...
Oh, and thank you so much for your help at our little hot dog shop. It was great having you here. Let me know when you need a mule to help you at a shoot this winter. I'd be happy to help.
