Long Time No Post

Its been to long since I have posted anything and I intend to change that.  I have a lot of things coming up to post so be on the lookout.

Recently I have been spending a lot of time with my niece Miley.  I have to say that spending time with her is probably the greatest thing I have done in a very long time. Just to watch her go from a new born first the first time I held her to her first smile to halloween photos and to where she is now is amazing. To be honest Im going to say that leaving her when I move away for school next year will be the worst part about moving. As corny as it sounds being a large part of her life and not just that uncle she barely knows is a big deal to me. My family is a large portion of my life and I intend to keep them close no matter where I end up in life.

Basically all I am saying is realize what is truly important in life and enjoy it while you can.  Its all wonderful and can be gone at any moment so take advantage. 

This is just a nice lil christmas photo of Miley. Everyone be jealous that I have the best niece ever and to top it all off I would also be bold enough to say my family is right up there also.

Another day gone great

This saturday was really fun up on the silver mtn. I went up to the college to shoot some photos for the paper of the special olympics but the whole morning they were going on was super foggy but later that day turned out super nice.  So when the sun came out we hit up our secret spot and snagged a few photos of the group.

This one is kenny.

New friend Jake who works for outdoor pursuits at the college(way rad guy)
This is my buddy John.

And I had to have my own photo of it also.

Went to a fun event last night for the newspaper it was a sex educator. How can that not be fun right? He was way funny and made it enjoyable for all. I cant post a main photo since idk what will run in the paper but i know this guy wont so here is my teaser photo ha.

Today the kindergardeners have been in school for 100 days so they had a surprise visit from Zero the hero aka Tim. He did some songs and counted with them then gave candy and left. He was a good sport since I didnt actually tell him what it all involed. Thanks again Tim. 

Another busy weekend in The Sentinel this weekend and as much work as it was I enjoy it nonetheless.  

The weekend was amazing on a sports level though. The mens basketball team was tied with our school rivals and there is only 1.5 seconds left. We have the ball on the opposing baseline but its passed in and a shot is thrown up from around the opponents 3-point arc. While the ball is in the air the buzzer sounds and the whole gym is silent then all that is heard is the swish of the net as he drained the shot to win the game. Needless to say the place blew up and was crazy. As a let down though i got slightly to caught up in the game and ended up not shooting any of the ending stuff really. Sad day I know but what can I say I am one of the students also and always want to see my team win. 

Here is one photo from the game. I have some action ones but I kind of like this one better. Always more games to get other shots so again no worries on my part.

Another fun thing to shoot was someone that Nils my instructor found. This librarian has an Obama cardboard cutout that has been riding shotgun with her since the inaguration parties. Nothing amazing but still interesting and different.
