Here in Kamas there is a great pizza parlor ran by a man whom I consider to be a great man.  He and I belong to the same religion and part of our religious beliefs included Sunday observances.  He is a small business owner and as part of his understanding of his beliefs, he closes business on Sundays.  As a result, he is missing out on potential revenue.  I admire his dedication to doing what he feels to be right.  I know he doesn’t consider this a sacrifice at all, but it truly is.

There is a serious lack of neon signs in my little town.  In the heart of Kamas, this is the only one that was turned on and running.

We had a wonderful time coloring eggs today.  I captured the entire event using a remote fired flash sitting in a high-tech shoe light stand taught by the strobist.

Strobist: Single flash 1/2 power sitting in a shoe pointing at the wall for bounce.  The flash was triggered by a Cybersync trigger.

This shot was taken the first day we were at Zion National Park.  This was taken at the Canyon Overlook.  It is an absolutely breathtaking view of the canyon.  We arrived shortly before sunset and were treated to absolutely stunning skies.

I took this with two cokin filters and I feel it brought out the feeling and mood of the vista.

I took photos 97, 98, and 99 while on vacation.  I’ve posted them on my flickr account, but I’ve not placed them here.

Brinci, Toby, Chandra, and Chris were playing the fast paced card game of war.

Okay, so I had decided I wasn’t going to shoot Toby for a while because you all are probably getting sick of him.  But, look at how he dressed himself today.  I couldn’t help it.

Strobist: Single Blue Gelled Flash 1/2 power pointed at the background, large window camera right, silver reflector camera left.  Flash triggered with CyberSyncs.

My youngest son Gage has had flu-like symptoms this week.  It has been a rough week for him with a lot of crying.  My second child Toby who loves Gage to pieces has almost constantly been at his side.  In this shot, Gage was crying and Toby went and got his blanket and was trying to soothe him.  It was a tender moment.  It shows clearly the wonderful nature of Toby and the love of family members.

This photo is intentionally out of focus.  I’m not sure why, but it felt appropriate for the subject; perhaps I feel the kindest acts we perform don’t need to be widely recognized but rather our reward can come from the feelings we get the friendships we create.
