What a week it has been and its only thursday. I started school yesterday and what a day it was. My typography class seems like its going to be a lot of fun, but a lot of work at the same time. I have my photo II class after work at 5:30, my teacher is new to teaching college but he seems like he knows his stuff.
Class got out early and he mentioned that there was a book signing by a famous Utah photographer at Kings English Book Store here in Utah at 7:00 p.m. He said that this photographer is a photojournalist and was signing copies of his new photo book on Bob Marley. I have a slight to moderate interest in Marley so I decided to attend (pus we could get extra credit if we did). Little did I know how amazing 1. his book is and 2. what an incredible photographer he was and still is.
The photographers name is David Burnett, and I am embarrassed to say I had never heard of him. But he has been to some of the most amazing places in the world and has been present at some the most astonishing events ever to take place on this earth. I got the chance to sit down for about 2 hours and listen to him talk about his book "Soul Rebel" and a few of his photographic adventures through his life. What a great photographer and man, he was very welcoming to the audience and answered all of the questions we had (except for mine because he ran out of time, I plan on emailing him though). I took a couple of quick shots of him, here is one of them, not very technically great but its a picture of a true master.
Speaking of Masters, I had the opportunity about 2 weeks ago to go flyfishing with my in-laws. My father-in-law took us up while we were on a family trip in Midway, Utah. We all had a great time despite the weather trying to discourage us. Taylor caught the most fish, but Ron caught the biggest. I have more pictures of all of us fishing, but I will upload them later. Here are a few to get you by until then.
This is the biggest fish of the day caught by Ron
Just a fun shot screwing around with the new camera
This is our guide a true master of his craft
And this is BJ, my brother-in-law,
not necessarily a master of this craft. But he had fun.
