    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 event. I’ve posted a few images from that shoot along with this one.

    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 photo on film look. Stephanie is always a great model to work with.

    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).

    A group of us got together Saturday afternoon at Thai Chili Gardens on 800 N. in Orem for and early dinner. The food, of course, was awesome. My favorite dish there is their massaman curry – probably the best I’ve ever had. We also ordered some vegitarian spring rolls and some Thai BBQ calimari. All good. Kristen ordered some sticky rice and peanut sauce but she didn’t really like the peanut sauce that well. Apparently there is another restaurant near by that has a better peanut sauce – can’t please everyone it looks like. Despite the apparently sub-par peanut sauce, we all had a good time.
