I have been looking all semester for story that i could shoot and when it finally came down to it the police officers wouldn't let me get close to the accident. luckily i had my telephoto lens with me so i was able to get a variable range of shots that could depict this.
i like this opening shot because it gives good context with nice lines that direct you to the accident.
Here are the officers getting ready to direct traffic. this happened right by the dinosaur tracks and it is a very busy road. with out the accident in the photo this could be very misleading if it were published on its own. it seems that you could easily depict what you want out of a story even if nothing actually happened that you said happened.



I feel like this is a good medium shot and a better understanding of what actually is happening, the body language of the people and the almost palpable dividing line of who was in what car.

i like this concluding shot because it shows the feeling and emotion behind what is going on in the moment. for the cops not letting me get close i feel like i did well with what i had to work with

 The life of a door to door salesman is nothing like how most people perceive it to be. Sure there are people that are only in it for the sale and are swindlers and thieves, but that has not been my experience or the experience of some of my closest friends. 
ISO 800 70mm f/8 1/320th
The life of door to door sales is not for the faint of heart. It requires a certain person to trudge ten hours a day in the blistering heat of summer being told no time and time again. While there is plenty of rejection, it is worth the feeling of accomplishment when someone says yes. 

ISO 1600 24mm f/2.8 1/160th
Every single time someone answers the door, it is always a surprise as to who responds on the other side. Most door to door sales are based on connection and the first15 seconds of interaction. It is exhilarating and satisfying when you can connect with someone on such a quick time frame. This is an expertly crafted skill that takes hundreds of hours of perfection.

Determination, hard work, and patience are essential to push through the daily grind and separate the successors from the failures. Critiques have a lot of connotations towards summer sales, which is mostly due to their own failure, lack of determination, or pessimistic outlooks. However, with proper training, good management, and persistence, summer sales can be a life-changing experience.

Abstract/Illustrative

I made this photo because my friend Jasper is a foreign exchange student and he wanted a photo of him self that would remind him of his time here in St. George, i after some thinking of ways to express this through photography i came to the conclusion that a double exposure would be the only way to truly express how one feels about southern Utah. St. George resonates with unique beauty, so much that it becomes a part of you. Anyone that visits this part of the world never forgets and is always taken back by the surroundings. I feel that this uniquely captures our unique atmosphere and how it becomes a part of you.

I do not have any of the meta data on these because i didn't shoot them on my camera, but if i were to guess what they were i would say F/4 ISO 400 1/125 shot at 35mm

Butterfly light

I shot this at about 135mm so its probably F/4 ISO 1600 1/250

Butterfly light

This was also shot around 135 maybe even closer to 200 due to the compression of her face and its probably F/4 ISO 1600 1/250

Loop light

I love cooking, and have a tradition of making something every Sunday. although baking is not my forte, i was able to document a fun family activity.
I feel like most people that shoot for food blogs shoot wide, so this was a fun take on something that normally wouldn't be shot so tight.

I love my 70-200, it is very sharp and gives a great bokeh effect which is really fun especially with these tight shots
