Plum Jam
Written on 12/21/2008 by Alan
This is a photo of a gift that we gave out to several of our neighbors this year. We made the jam from plums on our own plum tree. Sarah then decorated it using paper and punches sold by Stampin' Up!
I'd like to hear some comments on the photo. I'm new to product photography and would like to hear some honest critique.

Salt Lake Temple 3
Written on 12/20/2008 by Alan
I'm a little slow posting my photos from the latest photowalk. I've got some mixed feelings about this batch of photos. I think they are good, but nothing stands out as great. I'm thinking they are all a bit on the dark side and after some reading tonight, I think I need to go back when there is still some light left.
I'd love to hear your comments.

Piri Piri - Day 1

Piri Piri - Day 0
Written on 12/14/2008 by Alan
I recently purchased some Piri Piri seeds from South Africa. In English, that's an African Devil pepper. I ate them quite a bit in Portugal. They are quite spicy.
I wanted to grow one, so I thought I'd blog the whole thing. This is Day 0. The seed in focus is the one that hit the dirt.

Hotel at night
Written on 10/17/2008 by Alan
I grabbed this shot as I was leaving a strobist group at the Salt Lake City public library. I stepped out and saw this building begging for a photo. Luckily, I had my tripod on me.

Hotel Monaco
Written on 8/18/2008 by Alan
I received an email today from Schmap saying that one of my photos has been short-listed for an online publication of Salt Lake City. The photo in question is this pic of the Hotel Monaco sign.
Should I accept, this will be the first time one of my photos is published.

Hay there!
Written on 8/01/2008 by Alan
Okay, pun intended. I drive past this field ever day on the way to work. I've been waiting for them to bale the hay so that I could take a picture. I think this barn is quite rustic looking.

Bag of Crap
Written on 7/25/2008 by Alan
A bag of crap, you ask? it's actually 3 craps and one bag. At least, that's what I bought, this is what showed up.
So what's in the box?
1 - Belkin TuneSynce for iPod
1 - Targus Digital Memory Card case
1 - Porcelain Tootsie Pop collectible
4 - Logitech Xbox Live headsets
4 - Buzztime Home Trivia System game cartridges, History
So how much did all this stuff set me back?
$8
And why would I pay that much for this.... crap?
It all boils down to fun really. There is this site called woot that has a deal every day. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can purchase a bag of crap for $1. For an extra $2, you get an extra 2 craps. Shipping is $5, and they throw in the bag. The crap is basically whatever they want to send you that they have sitting around. It's usually something that no one wants to buy or is out-dated (or both).
This is my second bag of crap (BOC) from woot. I think it is better than my first one. While I have no idea what to do with for identical cartridges to a game system I will never own, $8 was a great price for the Belkin iPod dock/charger.

Family Foto
Written on 7/16/2008 by Alan
This is me and my family. The photo was taken near my in-laws cabin which is up Weber canyon. This is a great spot for a photo, though, my son was not in any mood to get his picture taken. This is one that I salvaged.
I'd love to hear some critique on this, what went well, what should I work on next time?
