Today will be my last blog post until the 6th of the new year. Why? Because I’m going on a 3-week vacation, that’s why! Where to?

Well… I’m going to leave you all guessing on this one, although I may drop a clue somewhere in this post. I should mention that I’m not very subtle in my clue-dropping skillz, but whatever.

Once I come home, I’ll post the daily pictures from my trip.

Day 325/365

One of my absolute favorite things to do whenever the snow really starts coming down out here; I go out to an empty parking lot, pick up as much speed as I can, then hit the handbrake and turn hard. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Ohhhhh so much fun!!! It’s without a doubt my little slice of heaven every winter. And I’ve gotten pretty good at it too. I can maintain speed through a tight turn while going sideways and getting dangerously close to the curb on the apex. I feel like a slow-motion rally driver without the spectators. Oh and see all those tire marks on the snow? That’s all me. That was fresh snow before I got my tires on it! (iPhone photo)

Day 326/365

My first ever memory card back when I started professionally (ie. I had smaller cards earlier in my digital shooting) as a digital photographer… Funny how 1GB is so insignificant now. I can’t wait to see what cameras can do when the G in GB (GigaByte) turns into a T (for TB – TerraByte). Then we can look back at our “huge” 16GB and 32GB cards and laugh our butts off.

Day 327/365

I shot the CEO of Wells Fargo for Utah Business Magazine last week! I was nervous, but managed to keep my cool and get some great shots. I figured, this is a prominent business figure, in charge of a company mired in an unpopular bailout, at a critical time in our economic history; I HAVE to nail this one!

I think I did alright

Day 328/365

Aaaaand here comes another lazy shot. I call this one “Snow on Stuff” (iPhone photo)

Day 329/365

I’ve been recording some music and getting to know Cubase in the process (iPhone photo)

Day 330/365

Perhaps not a surprise to some of you, but I am an avid gamer (PC gamer – I will not touch console games with a ten foot pole). Have been since I was a kid (much to my poor mom’s dismay – I spent many hours racing cars, shooting bad guys, commanding troops, etc., in my teen years).

Crysis is a first-person shooter (which means you play through the eyes of the character in the game) which, along with just one other game right now, is a game that has really gripped me. The game is starting to show its age, at an enormous 2 years old (this is old by gaming standards) and yet continues to be tons of fun, terrifically difficult and more tense than an unscheduled meeting with a rabid pack of wolves.

Day 331/365

An interesting abstract. It’s a stack of envelopes. I love how grainy iPhone photos can be (iPhone photo)

Day 332/365

Ahhh, New York… (iPhone photo)

Wellp… See ya next year!
