Pictures and Stuff



Today I took some more pictures, and then uploaded and edited a few of them (along with some others). I posted just a small sample below, but more of my pictures can be found here at my Flickr account. As always I have a goal - that I may keep strong or not. I would like to keep up my Flickr account and expand it with more photos in the years to come. The web offers such remarkable methods of sharing things.

Kassie didn't really like this picture. She gave me some reasons but I am still not sure why. I really like it because in the back you can see the small chunks of our 1st apartment together. We are both smiling and my smile actually looks sort of normal. And - - it is just a good picture. You know?
This is one of the many pictures I took with Abi and Brian yesterday at the park near Wasatch. Logan was pretty happy for a while, and even gave a few good reactions to my odd noises. I realized why photographers are so strange and awkward - it is the only way to get a reaction out of the kids. At this point in the day, Logan wasn't sure if he wanted to be happy or sad, to eat the ground or his sleeve, or to stand up or just lay down. Either way, the slobber on his chin sure was thick.
I had to grab my camera real quick when I saw Kassie practicing. She is really great on the flute and I always enjoy hearing her play. It was great!

Here is yet another shot of a sunset over the valley. It has been a true blessing to live here in Look Out Pointe, and though we have had our fair sure of exciting experiences - the beautiful view has been a huge highlight in my life.

Be sure to check out my Flickr page and let me know what you think!

It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...

TMA 185 3 minute film

The final product of "make me a match" that I labored over exceedingly. I was actually sort of unhappy with it all not because of the performances of anyone but mainly just the story. We had to write all so quickly and the re-write it time after time and then storyboard it and really break it down. In all this rush I didn't realize till I was actually shooting it that I really didn't care much for the story as a whole and thus my motivation suffered greatly. I don't think I need to tell epic dramatic tales to care about them but I do want to have a strong point and also a specific conflict or issue that is approached and resolved. I am starting a screen writing class tomorrow and possibly I will gain some insights as to how to develop good stories. Ones that I care about. I don't know why I feel so interested in telling stories - particularly in that I haven't felt very confident with the stories I have come up with. It is extremely hard for me to come up ...
