What do you get when you get all of Utah’s top Brewers in one room? A great party, hop shower included. I’m still finding hops in the strangest places…

This Friday is the grand opening show for the Salt Lake City Photo Collective, and I’m pleased to announce that i’ll be showing a HUGE print. You’ll have to come to the show to see which image I chose, but i will say, it’s one of my favorites from the documentary series on Latina drag queens, originally seen in City Weekly.

Just finished a week-long shoot for Axl’s Closet. If you haven’t already check out the site here, AXLSCLOSET.COM This was one of the first uses of the images, but there’s much more coming soon, including lookbooks, email campaigns, web banners, and more brand drop-ins! I designed this as a 2 sided brand drop-in, postcard of sorts, promoting kids patagonia.

I was assigned by City Weekly to shoot the cover story, for the November 12th issue. The story can be read here. Matt Frandsen’s a great guy, and we had a good time creating these images.

Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow
Well maybe that spider knows something that I don’t know
‘Cause I’m goddamn cold- Devandra Banhart

This little guy lived outside of my window for a good 4 weeks, until the snow came. I wonder where he is now?

I would open my shades every morning and greet him before anyone else in my house. Friends would shudder when I would show them my friendly roommate, but he never did anything wrong.

From the time I was a cute little baby boy, aka “chubby chad”, I can remember spending my favorite parts of the summer at my family’s ranch in Star Valley, Wyoming. During the last few years, I’ve been trying to capture the essence of this wonderful land, to let others see and feel its greatness. Here are a few photos I made on my last trip of this year.
