Not to miss destinations on your short trip to Utah

Traveling during the pandemic has presented challenges like no other time in history. I had originally written this post mid-Covid and I feel that I didn’t give the beautiful state of Utah much justice. Who can blame me though, it was a stressful time in our history and most people were not able to focus on much else except survival 🙂 Today, as I review some of my older blog posts and update them for relevance, I decided to rewrite this one in particular and provide as much insight regarding photography in Utah as possible. To start with…

Why You Should NOT Buy the New Camera…and Use Your Phone Instead

This is a post I have been meaning to write for a while. It’s a post for all my friends and colleagues who have come to me over the years asking the seemingly simple yet actually very problematical question: WHAT CAMERA SHOULD I BUY? Believe it or not, but this question to me is a little like asking, what career should I choose in life?

I have accomplished some very important…

In one way or another, this wonderful medium of creative expression crosses my mind and fills it with thoughts of inspiration, lightheartedness and curiosity.  It poses questions, it challenges me to dig deep and pushes me to explore the work of others. No matter how busy my life may be at the moment, photography is always there, by my side, ready to make itself available at any moment. As the first half of the year remains a bit slow for me in terms…

In Celebration of Earth Day

There are many reasons I love to travel, but one of the most important ones that keep me going is to experience the beauty this Earth has to offer in many corners of the world. From the highest peaks of distant mountains to the crashing waves of infinite oceans, being able to surround myself with nature energizes me and reminds me of the tiny place I occupy in this world. But the more I travel, the more I realize how much trouble this Earth is really in. Growing populations infringe on native habitats. Waste is piling up in the most…
