I tossed and turned as rays of light shined through cracks in my window. Trying to close my eyes for a few more minutes. It didn't work. The light, it was too blinding. I rolled over and exclaimed expletives as the clock read 10:30 AM. What time did we make it to bed? Did we make brats last night? Where are my socks? All questions rampaging through my head like a hoard of children who haven't eaten. I willed the courage to leave bed, hoping for a simple yet satisfying breakfast. Which did not come. For another 7 hours. Instead, we loaded up the bright yellow Jeep, aptly named, Ol' yeller and headed into town. As we lurched down the leaf covered streets of Ketchum, the cool fall air seemed to help. After completing errands around town, the rampaging children had settled down. No longer were they stomping around in my head. Coupled with the hope for nourishment, things were looking up daisies. However, those hopes were crushed, as we went on a hike instead. Which wasn't so bad. Definitely worth the view.

The Brumbies.
The Brumbies are a band based out of Salt Lake City, UT. Their music offers a fresh twist on the overdone alternative world. In addition to this, the ability to swap instruments allows each member to interpret each song in a different manner. Which is also quite nice. Recently, they asked me to photograph a practice session, which I gladly agreed to. Little did I know that their practice room was as near as makes no difference, a Bikram Yoga studio. Cooled by growlers of beer and fans that circulated hot/sweaty air, I listened into a wonderful set. With cameras and lights in place and band members poised, I shot away. Here's what I got. Enjoy!

Grief.
Grief, sorrow, anguish whatever you want to call it, we all have to deal with it at some point in our lives. It is inevitable. All we can hope for is that we are somewhat prepared to handle whatever trials and tribulations arise. However, that is rarely the case. The delivery of bad news often triggers a chain of reactions within the beholder. From excessive exercise to substance abuse it is merely a coping mechanism. Many become so horrified that this event is forever etched into their minds. Some choose to mourn. Others choose to forget. Regardless, grief has a profound effect on one's relationships with others. In this series, I wanted to capture the moods/activities of people who were dealing with grief.

Sun Tunnels
After three years of rampant desire to camp out by the Sun Tunnels, a
couple of friends and I finally made it out there. Located ~40 miles
Northeast of Wendover (The Dirty Dover) the drive out was less than
pristine. The washboard road, complete with millions of rocks and
unexpected potholes was quite exciting in a small Subaru. After an hour
or so of bone rattling vibrations we finally came across what seemed to
be the turn off for the Sun Tunnels. Marked with a teepee of steel
rods and a forlorn tire, the Tunnels seemed a mirage in the
distance. As we ventured down this road, it seemed as if we were
heading the wrong direction. Unsure of where we should go, we decided
to continue down this path. A few minutes later, we encountered this
battered truck with various slogans spray painted on and riddled with
various caliber bullets. After taking a few pictures of this truck we
decided to continue on. However, we immediately noticed that this road
was headed in the wrong direction. After putting around brush and
attempting to drive as the crow flies towards the Sun Tunnels, we
decided to head back to the main road and find a different path. Which
we found. After an hour or so of being completely lost, we finally made
it. Post setting up camp, we commenced the process of taking pictures
and dehydrating ourselves. Hoping to be one of the few campers there
was probably a bit optimistic. Being the Summer Solstice, a hoard of
picture takers soon descended around the tunnels. All taking the SAME
picture. Anyway, here are a bunch of photos I took while we were
there.
