New Addition to My Camera Bag (pocket)
Canon SD 780 IS * ISO 80 * 1/500 seconds * f/5.8
One of my goals for this year was to carry around a camera with me at all times. It’s almost impossible to carry around my big SLR so I spent a few weeks researching and came across the Canon SD780 IS. My criteria was good quality, reasonably priced and small. I was lucky enough to get all three. Yesterday I went on a walk around the Salt Lake Library on my lunch break and took a few samples. So far I’m impressed with the image quality and the compact size of this point and shoot. I felt a little awkward using it at first but given the need it’s a perfect fit for my pocket.

With the air quality hitting the worst in the nation in the Salt Lake valley, we haven’t seen too much of the sun lately. It was nice to see a break in the clouds yesterday on my drive to work. The light was just right so of course I had to pull over to make this photo.
Dain, Jeff & Thomas
Canon 5D Mark II * EF-24-105mm f/4.0L * ISO 100 * 1/80 seconds * f/10.0
During the holidays I received an email from Dain. He grew up in Utah but now lives in Philadelphia attending dental school. He was in town and his two friends from high school were flying into Utah. Dain asked if I’d be interested in taking their portraits, of course I said yes. I had a great time hanging out with Dain, Jeff & Thomas. Full gallery here

Karyn & Jaidyn
Canon 5D Mark II * EF-24-105mm f/4.0L * ISO 1600 * 1/60 seconds * f/7.1
I haven’t posted many pictures of my wife on this blog but thought I would share this one of her and my niece Jaidyn. This was taken at our annual Smith Christmas Eve get together. I really like how the yellow light in the background provides a soft mood to the photo and provides a rim light on Karyn’s hair.

It’s nice to see XXXLarge files in my iStock portfolio. Things are definitely slow going with my portfolio but I’m having a fun time putting projects together. I’m looking forward to a couple of projects during the Christmas holidays.

Northridge High Student Body Officers
Canon 5D Mark II * EF-24-105mm f/4.0L * ISO 400 * 1/100 seconds * f/6.3
I recently photographed Northridge High School Student Body Officers, they needed some head shots and a group photo. They were looking for something different so we took them at the President’s home in South Weber Utah. When you get this many teenagers together there’s lots of joking and laughter (surprise). Some of my favorite shots were of them jumping and pulling faces. I like to put people in situations where it brings out a true smile and shows them having fun. Below are a few of my favorites, full gallery here.
