I officially graduated on April 27th, 2012 from Utah Valley University with my Bachelors of Fine Arts with an emphasis in photography. Wow, that’s a mouthful. I am very thrilled to have completed one of my lifelong goals, one which has been on my mind as either a burden or a pleasure for the last twelve or so years. I really enjoyed my time at UVU, which is why I decided to [...]

A couple weeks ago I ran out with a couple other friends with bikes on a morning ride. We started in Orem and went around Utah Lake. It was a blast. Along the way we stopped a couple times to take a few pictures. There was a lot to see and take in when we weren’t cruising down the long roads. Utah Lake was beautiful, as usual. We also stopped so I [...]

My wife and I drove out to Chico, CA this week to visit Chico State University. I was accepted to the MFA program there, and we wanted to see the city, meet the faculty, and see the school. It was a fantastic trip, and Chico is beautiful, the faculty were very honest and nice, and we might just move there. Here are some of the photographs I took along the trip.

I needed to make some photographs of my family, as I’m using them to make some other prints. I wanted to show them off a little bit. I am happy to be living my life with them. Over the past few years as I’ve been finishing my schooling, they’ve been my biggest supporters. If you ever have the pleasure, you would be blessed to get to know my favorite people in the [...]

I’m currently taking a drawing class, and I needed to photograph some reference material for my next drawing assignment. The drawing assignment is black and white charcoal on toned paper. I wanted to draw something meaningful… so I decided to draw my bike! This morning I went to UVU and photographed it. I liked some of the pictures so I edited them a bit and wanted to share them with you. Here’s [...]

Yesterday was one day that will go down as incredibly special to me. I started out finishing the final preparations for my exhibition opening. At 2:00 I met up with Brooke Walker with KSL to do a little interview about the exhibition. I was nervous, and I was tired, but they made me feel comfortable. It’s easy to talk about Now I Can, and the amazing patients there. Here is the coverage [...]

This is Lincoln, he’s my main man. It’s amazing how excited I am to have a son in my home, finally . Lincoln came to us just over three weeks early, and surprised us. He has grown quickly, and in the last few months has really became a good friend. I’m impressed at how quickly he smiles and laughs. Between messy diapers and hunger strikes, he can roll the laughs right off. [...]

The other day I got my entire family all suited up for the cold, and we wandered down to the Utah Lake State Park. I had told my daughter twice to make sure I didnt forget my film… Well… I pulled out my Mamiya 6, and defeatingly put it back in the car when we realized that I actually did forget. So, it became an iPhone photo day! And, once again, the [...]

The Now I Can book could not have been made possible without the support of so many good people. I wish I knew all the names, and I wish I knew everyone personally. I am forever thankful for the help of everyone that participated in some way. Some of the individuals who backed this project did not wish to be named or rewarded. To those individuals again, I say thank you. This [...]
