The Fourth of July, the one time of year when everyone pulls out the RV and heads for the hills and we did the same minus the RV part. We obviously knew we had to through a bash, so we kindly left Salt Lake valley and traveled north! We found our way to Mike’s house watched fireworks, had a little bit to much fun, woke up and went to the lake / reservoir. With everything green in the desert and hotter than ever we started to swim around and jump off some cliffs. Afterwards we had to test out the new and improved rope swing followed by a BBQ back in Salt Lake. And all of this added up to make the best 4th of July weekend I have ever had! Here is some evidence.

The past month has been hectic from traveling across the northwest from Seattle, Vancouver, Whistler, Portland, to finals week at school it is almost over for the summer. The road is one of my favorite place to be even if I spend one day in a foreign place it always feels natural to grab some photos and see what the town’s culture has to offer. Also spending time with my best friends out of town is always refreshing Ian Wade and I slowly made our way down the coast and back to Salt Lake. For finals I was determined to shoot some portraits that would speak about the person and communicate there passions. And lastly winding down for the season we have built our own snowboard park hidden in the mountains for the summer months.

As some people know contests drive me crazy, don’t get me wrong I think winning money and beating others is all in good fun but how many times can you take the same photo at one of these events. It’s not a photo friendly thing, getting sloshed with slush, watching people almost take out your flashes, etc. Well as always I brought my film camera not the usual Holga but a little nicer one to shoot some of what I saw. I bumped into all sorts of people I don’t see to often as well as seeing some really drunk people at high noon. Here’s what I took from the day of the festivities.

It has been a fast few weeks after school has started. It has been an adventure since after Vegas, Idaho, and Utah’s powder it has been an all out scramble to get photos while balancing my pow turns. These photos are from the trip most recently to Idaho. Went to a few locations some things worked others didn’t. I do not think we are done there, we must go back. The cops did boot us after some time at a rail…such is life.
