Maple Canyon

A few weeks ago a few friends and I packed up our cars and headed South-ish to Maple Canyon.  The plan, camp, climb, and shoot beer cans with a BB gun.  Good times.  Here are a few photos I took with my 35mm. 

Brigham City?

I'm pretty sure that's where I went.  

My Bike.

Not the prettiest or fastest of bikes out there, but after 3 car crashes and 3 years of pedaling around she's still with me.  Even though the handle bars don't stay put and the chain falls off constantly I still wouldn't have any other bike.

Climbing in B&W

The beauty of Big and Little Cottonwood is the range of activities each canyon has to offer.  From skiing to hiking these places offer a bit of something for everyone.  When there's no snow on the ground, climbing is an activity that my friends and I are quite fond of.  Not to mention the views are normally quite nice.  Here's a couple of shots taken from my 35mm camera.

Street Perspective.

I have recently become obsessed with the idea of how we as a race create these monstrous structures to house us, conduct business, enjoy ourselves, etc, etc. These structures are often sterile, rigid, and loaded with repetition. We create these overwhelming structures that vastly contrast our organic shape. It is this juxtaposition of rigid structures and organic shapes that has consumed me. I want to portray how we as people fit into these concrete jungles that we call cities. These shots are taken from a pedestrian perspective to retain objectivity. Enjoy

Another plunge into the portrait world. This time a shoot with an old friend, named Jordan. Hope you enjoy

This girl named Ceciley.

As of late I have started to realize that there are only a few types of photography that people seem to be into. Those photos consist of pretty landscapes and this idea of fashion photographs. Which, let's face it, are glorified portraits. If you don't produce these formulated landscapes with the vibrance cranked up to a million or a scantily clad female wearing next to nothing, no one really gives the work more than 5 seconds of viewing time. Which is sad, because there are so many photographs that i could spend days looking at, but no one really seems to care about the details anymore. The details are what makes an image interesting. There's nothing wrong with these types of imagery, they just get a bit old after awhile. In addition, I'm just not very into these types of images. Despite all of this I thought I'd check out what the fuss is all about. Anyway, here are a few samples of this wonderful girl I know named, Ceciley. This is my plunge into mainstream images. I will say, it is kind of enjoyable, but I don't think I could do that all the time.
