A little bit more from my favorite city, this time taken with my real camera.

As with any city I visit, I like to wander, enjoy, and take pictures.

It’s been a long time comin’, but the sign is up at last. I’ve created a ton of memories in this house, but it’s time to move on.
I’ll be moving towards downtown Salt Lake City and I’ve got to say it; I’m thoroughly gonna enjoy living in an apartment again. I just hope my neighbors there are as good as one of my neighbors here! haha
Oh and here’s a more artistic shot of my house, taken with a Holga when I first got one:
I love that shot… It’s the kind of scratched up 5×5 print I can imagine showing to my grandkids someday as a place where “the old man used to live”.
Goodbye house…
Here’s some more random stuff from my recent visit to beautiful New York… Oh how I miss that city…
Sadly, I didn’t give the dude a dollar for a joke. I was too worried he would suck and I’d just stand there awkwardly, not laughing… Also, I didn’t have a dollar bill, and he probably didn’t take American Express.

Heather is a model I’d had the opportunity to work with before. She was wonderful and I immediately knew we had to try working together again.
Here’s what came of our recent shoot:
What is The Music Project? Well, it’s a simple concept of mine. Here we go:
The Music Project
Listening to great music, and I mean really great music, elicits an avalanche of powerful images in my head. So powerful in fact, that with the best of songs or melodies, I am completely paralyzed in my visual imagination run amuck. The whole world falls away and all I’m left with is what I see from what I’m listening to.
So one day, I decided to attempt releasing everything that remained a prisoner in my mind.
Because I want you to experience what I do.
I started digging through all the music I loved, asking myself the biggest question behind the concept for The Music Project:
“What do I see?”
This will be an ongoing project with new photography concepts for new songs. I won’t be posting the songs together with the images, or even the lyrics. Hopefully, if you enjoy my work enough, it’ll make you want to go out and buy albums and MP3s. Nothing would make me happier than to find out there’s a spike in sales for every song that inspires me to a shoot.
Let’s kick things off with Regina Spektor’s “Summer in the City”.
Many thanks to Shanda Palmer and Nick Hemsley for the amazing makeup and hair, respectively, and of course my good friend, the endlessly energetic and beautiful Dani Jae for modeling, even in a bar full of men who all wanted to buy her a drink. I was planning on buying her a drink for the shoot anyway, but a customer did it for me.

Day 33/365
There’s a million cool, run-down places to find in downtown Salt Lake if you look hard enough. I’m still discovering these places myself, and today’s shoot happens to be where I shot this:
My friend Sarah told me about it last year after I convinced her she’d do great as a model. She still doesn’t think of herself as a model, but I think she was happy with the results. As it happens, at the time of this writing at least, that picture along with the other shots I took were the last thing she blogged about.
Watch, she’ll post a new blog just to spite me 
Anyway, so I’m out around that area, shooting some more footage for NURF Wars (yeah, it’s taking a bit longer than I thought – and by “a bit longer” I mean “a lot longer”).
Here’s a few shots:
