It's Just a Fight

My buddy Dr. Thunder is into the MMA scene.  Every Saturday he drives down to Sandy to spar and grapple with some like-minded kindred spirits.  A couple of weeks back he invited me to swing down with him and take some pictures of he and the boys kicking the crap out of each other.  How do you say no to that?

There was a big whiteboard on one of the gym walls with a lot of random info on it.  At the top of the board, someone had written: "Remember, it's just a fight."

Lagoon Lights

This Wednesday the Cheetahman is going to be taking some photos at my band's debut concert, so last Saturday night we headed out to get some low-light photography practice.  We wound up at Lagoon over by the ferris wheel, where I got these:

Adventures on Spider Island

Last weekend a night hike up Mount Timpanogos became a morning hike on Antelope Island because of rain, then became more of a morning hike on Spider Island, for reasons that should be obvious from the images below:

She & Him

Last night I caught the final act of the 2010 Twilight Concert Series down in Pioneer Park.  She & Him is the creative team of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel.  Because of class, I wasn't able to get down to the park until almost 8:30, which meant all my shots had to be taken sniper-style from the midst of the 20,000 person crowd.  Still, I think I managed to take advantage of some of the obstructing shadows.

Diversifying the Portfolio (Again)

Yesterday morning I covered the second annual 4.01K run in downtown Salt Lake. According to the Facebook page, the purpose of the event is to network, build synergy, and to run through Salt Lake City in a suit.

The event starts at the top of Capitol Hill and makes its way down State Street to the Gallivan Center, where the route takes a hard turn to the west. Just past the Farmer's Market, the runners turn north and make their way to the finish at the Gateway fountain.

People running in suits + adults playing in fountains + confused onlookers = good photo op.
