Christmas in Barcelona

Ok, I know, this is not photojournalism, but it's my blog and I can do with it whatever I want, can't I? I hadn't seen my family for two years, so I just took pictures of them while I was in Barcelona for 10 days. Here's a few of those shots.


Julia, my sister, and Chesco, my brother in law.

Goin' back to Missouri

I still have to post some images from my last weeks in Provo, but right now this one -the only picture i took on my way back to Columbia- is the only thing I have on me. It was in Colorado, while driving through the Copper Mountain Pass in the Rockies. I was in a hurry, so I hadn't planned to stop to take pictures during the trip (so much so that my camera was in the trunk), but it would have been silly to turn down this gift from Mother Nature.

Llama Fest at the Krishna Temple

Kids always find ways to have fun that have nothing to do either with llamas or with Krishna...

Doomed Trailer Park

Isaac Ramirez looks out his trailer's window Friday, July 27, 2007. Isaac is one of nine siblings, of which eight live in the trailer at the park that will be dismantled to make way for the North Park commercial development in Spanish Fork.

501st. Legion, Alpine Garrison

Seriously, I'm enjoying being a newspaper photographer (ok, ok, just an intern) more each day. Not even in my wildest dreams I'd have imagined that one day I'd get to shoot Darth Vader & co. I enjoyed this assignment, using the lighting kit on location for the first time. I can't say that the members of the 501st. had as much fun as I did because it was 100 degrees out there and those costumes were not meant for this kind of weather. But the kids that were in the park at that time DID have fun...

Exhausted

Ashley Franscell has been working on a tough story for eight months. The subject of the story, 15-year-old Brady, is about to die. It's something worth reading and watching. It will be published by the Daily Herald in a 48-page special section. I'll put here the link as soon as I know it. For the moment, the only thing I can post is this image of Ashley totally exhausted at the Herald's photo department.

HAVEN'T POSTED PICTURES FOR A WHILE...

... so, I thought I could throw in some 4th of july stuff. These photographs were taken in dowtown Provo and at the BYU football stadium ("Stadium of Fire").
