Amazon has Adobe lightroom half off today. Not sure how long it will last. Awesome deal. I used Lighroom almost exclusively for my image editing. If you’d like to see some of my work, check out my sets on Flickr.

Victoria’s Secret, originally uploaded by Mecworks. The Provo River Bottoms shopping center is under construction right now while new cobble stone roads are put in place and what was once a through fair for cars will be a pedestrian only shopping area. I’m really happy about this change. It will be a much more inviting [...]

Utah Sunsets

I made two photographs on my way back from Salt Lake City last night. I was leaving a friend’s house after dropping off some items for the SLLUG meeting tomorrow night. While descending the avenues, I passed by Memory Grove near 9th Avenue where I stopped for an amazing sunset. Here are several. The first [...]

Michelle 2, originally uploaded by Mecworks. Spent an evening in downtown Provo with Michelle and some other models getting some great shots in before sunset last month. A mix of blue skies and overcast made for an interesting day with a variety of shooting conditions. Thanks to Michelle Steph and the others who made the [...]

Stephanie: B&W high-grain stylized process

marc — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 05:49:38 +0000

Stephanie, originally uploaded by Mecworks. My first use of the new Adobe Lightroom 3 film-grain simulation. I really like the texture and feel it gives the photo. It adds depth and character to black and white images. In the future, I’ll be taking a look at using it with cross-processed images to enhance the faded [...]

Why you should periodically review your photography archives

marc — Tue, 11 May 2010 14:45:44 +0000

Sometimes you just can’t believe what you just did…and neither can anyone else. Revisiting your photography archives, weeks, months or even years later will help you find great shots overlooked in the initial review. A lesson we often learn in life the hard way is that contentment from everyday objects is fairly ephemeral. Things [...]

We’re barbecuing hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken along with all together way too much other good food [...]

Walking tour of downtown Salt Lake City

Went with some friends: Melody, Jason and Natalie on a walking tour of downtown Salt Lake City on June 19, 2006. Very cool. Spent some time looking at old buildings but didn’t have nearly enough time to do the whole tour. We only were able to do the first third or so. Took some pictures [...]

A friend of mine, Melody and I went to Garden Park Ward last Tuesday. It’s a fascinating place in the neighborhood where I grew up. I used to float boats in the duck pond and walked through there on my way to and from my high school (East High). We took a few pictures while [...]

This pic is just too funny. I don’t know who the original photographer was but I think they caught some squirrels that need to be watched very carefully… The Force runs deep with these little ones…
