Street Photography.....

I've always wanted to be a "street photographer".  So, one very cold day this week, I went downtown with my M6 and shot (almost) a whole roll of film. I don't really care for most of these images because I feel like I should've gotten closer on almost every shot.  Also, I don't really enjoy color film and would have preferred to have used Tri-X (my camera already had film in it).

...and the only two images I kind of "like"


Comments, critiques, and general hate mail welcome....I think I'll try again though.....

For Weston.......

Jovi riding thru traffic downtown:

That's MR. Ninja to you.....



Garrison Conklin has ninja feet.

Matt Cozart drawing some pervy shit.

Sometimes it's okay for dudes just to be dudes.

Dear Diary,

Interesting what the world has become thanks to the world wide interweb.  Last sunday, we went to skate a spot and I was walking to my car to get my coffee when someone came around the corner, saying "the police are here".  In an attempt to avoid a ticket, me and some dudes piled into my car and drove to the nearest 7-11.   As we left the parking lot, we noticed the cop talking to Scott (pictured below) and writing something.  We figured Scott had been caught and was receiving a skateboarding ticket.  Scott en

ded up meeting us at the Sev a few minutes later and told us that the cop saw his video camera and asked if he was going to be on Youtube.  He was actually writing down the address to Scott's Youtube channel, not giving him a ticket.  

The story behind this photo (as well as a much better version of it, taken by somebody else) can be found here.

This is what a week in my life tends to look like:

Some Things are 3D, Part II.
My first cover. I took the photo that is on the album. Adam Dorobiala took the photo of the inside of the record store.

Real Journal Entry.

This exists in someplace besides the interweb....

Grain is Good.

I've been enjoying shooting with my Nikon FM2 lately.  But it's time for some more Leica shit......here's some fotes from a roll of T-Max 3200 that I shot with the Nikon recently.

Ern and a dog in SG.

Dylan, poached from Weston's foto shoot.

We saw this weird car in Rose park.

Tyson. Still epic after all these years.

Cozart and a pez dispenser (half frame foto)

Darth Fader and Big Blue (and some other dudes!)



Best foto goon ever^

Dear Diary,

I promised pictures of the Mini kitty and here they are:

Dear Diary,

This is Angela Brown, she's the editor of SLUG Magazine here in Salt Lake. She was smoking these tiny cigarettes at our meeting.
More images from the meeting:


Tim helping Glenn get gnar (i.e. Glenn almost dying) in front of Jovi's house.

David Law looking posh on his birthday:

Three ladies.

The ladies in my life on a night outing to Red Rock.

For Weston, Zach, and Isaac MR,

Double Exposure with Zach Corbin on the half frame camera.

Dear Diary,

Been thinking a bit about the cancerous hell I went through this time last year. I craved Greek food and fresh salad like you wouldn't believe. I couldn't eat salad because of bacteria. I'm glad that I'm done with chemo and still here living. Crazy to think how different my life was a year ago.
An old photo of Kar from those days:

Dear Diary,

I have a thing for frontside ollies lately.

Ethan Fowler By Dennis McGrath (scanned from Skatebook)

Look at how rough the ground is on this and how small his wheels are!
Jason Lee by Tobin Yelland (also scanned from Skatebook)

Hey Weston, let's go shoot some more of these!


Changbang and Tyson hanging out while they were in town (photo by me...not stolen other than the moment)

Summer's over.

Another boring pushing photo.

Baby kitty still needs a name. And she isn't cross eyed....just in this photo.

Dear Diary,

I've got a ton of negatives scanned recently and most of it might end up here. Here's some recent photos of Karlee.

Karlee reads Vampire Porn constantly.

Karlee loves cheese! Even in Wendy's Chili.

Guess what? Now this is happening.

NEW KITTY!

She doesn't have a name yet but she's Sausage's niece so Sausage is now Uncle Sausage.

Another Frontside Ollie.

I shot this one with Weston's camera. It's better than the one below.
