February and March 2012

Salt Lake City, Utah

This is what my life has looked like as of late.

Girlfriends.

And photobooth.

And spandex.

And lookalikes.

And concerts.

And fingernails.

And trees.

And headstands.

And good weather.

And flowers.

Oh.

And this.

Start,

by doing what's necessary.

Then,

do what's possible.

And suddenly,

you are doing the impossible.

Kodak Tri-X

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

September 2011

     This has to be one of my favorite photos I have ever taken. Tri-X has a way of making this world appear even more beautiful than it is - if that's possible. How does photography do this? I've been reminded of it's mystery over and over since beginning my Darkroom Photography class this month. Yes, I understand that it's pure science, but I have to believe that somewhere in between the camera taking in the light of a moment and the chemicals reproducing it in negative form, some sort of magic happens.
