Weekend photographs

Tonight I decided I am going to take a different approach on my blog. I am going to post more photos then normal. They were taken over the last week and weekend. I will write a short synopsis about each image.


The last few months while driving to and from I have watched the progress of a new bank being built in Driggs. Their sign caught my attention as it showed that they were planning on including an architectual detail from the community. I was excited to see how it would look. I think it will be a really nice touch and will do a good job representing the community.


As anybody that owns a truck knows friends can always count on you to help them out. I wasn't sure if I could pull it out as she did a pretty good job burying her car in the snowbank. I tried a few times and all four wheels spun. I went and bought a few bags of sand for weight and for under each tire for traction. It did the trick.



Darren and I go out photographing a lot. It is a really nice chance to get out and see the sites even if I don't do much photographing all the time. Darren always seems to photograph much more then I do. Usually I am along for the ride. This trip I did a lot of watching and hanging out but still had lots of fun. Check out his blog for more info about this photo outing. Darren Clark: Wanderings


Darren asked for my opinion on a little editing for a show he is hanging soon. After all, I am now a professional "Photography Editor" by trade. It was a pretty easy edit. He has great work and he had alredy edited it down to 20 and all I had to do was help him eliminate another 7. Easiest edit I have done in a while. Sure beats looking through 10,000 similar images and finding the best.


This weekend I had the opportunity to do a little dog sitting. His name is Loup and he is my boss's dog. Loup is a great dog. Him and Rusty make the queen size bed a little crowded though.


Darren, Susan, Kristi and I had a great time on Saturday night. We went to Chiz's (Darren we forgot to make any photographs) and then we went to "Walk the Line". It is a great movie and if you haven't seen it I think one should.


Here is sunday night's dinner. An adaptation of Alton Brown's recipe.

Here is the view I was treated to on the way to work. Before I got into a position where I thought I could make a film photograph the light had gone. Amazing really. I love living in the "shadow of the tetons". As this photo demonstrates, literally.

Enjoy.

I think the bank is "First bank of the Tetons" or "Jackson State Bank". Actaully I am not sure which bank it is.

I know who you are, Pat and Carl. How could I forget? : ) The show is of Darren's Cave work and is being shown on the BYU-I Campus. I'll let him fill you in on the rest.

Darren had the show first then I edited. My editing didn't get him the show.
