Floss Like You Mean It

Don't know why I took this picture; maybe it was my fascination with the countertop...

Extreme Morning Light #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast Took this on my way to catch the train one morning. I really like the contrast going on here.

Ah, Nuts #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast I know I have a similar picture in this blog of one of these, but that one was in Provo, and this one's in Salt Lake. I think these things are so cool.

Cornering #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought that this was an interesting subject. Contemporary looking lamp on a marble table.

The Mighty Tower One #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast I think this is one of the coolest pics I have taken. I think that the cloud reflection in the lower set of windows is awesome. And the coloring of the stone...wow.

2011-09-01T15:07:00.001-06:00

Merging Lines #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast I don't know what it is about lines and textures, but I think they are fascinating.

Pipe Dream #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I took this picture because it reminded of that really old school screen saver where there were a bunch of pipes going around and around. Anyone remember that one?

Camouflage #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

While resting comfortably on a neighbors lawn the other day, I got this picture of a small weed. Funny how well it blends in with the grass.

Hang In There #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

While riding into work, I thought I'd get a picture of the handrails. It's never been busy enough to actually warrant using these, thank goodness.

Life Lines #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought this was a pretty cool looking shot, with all the lines and patterns. Very uniform yet free thinking at the same time.

Absolute Contrast 401

2011-08-23T16:00:00.000-06:00

The Butt End #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I have a whole new world of picture taking opportunities now that I am working in downtown Salt Lake. This one is a cigarette butt on the grate where I sat waiting for the train.

Mmm...Cookie... #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Some of the things I like to take pictures of are my kids toys. I like the contrast of this one against the carpet.

The Funny Thing Is... #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Actually, I have no real idea why I even took this picture. It looked a lot cooler in my mind than it did when I took the picture. Oh, well...

Salt Dough Pachyderm #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I made this little salt dough pachyderm maybe a year or so ago, and ever since, I have kept is as part of my little trinket collection.

Makin' it Hot #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

In my opinion, eggs make for an awesome breakfast. But, eggs without tabasco sauce or ketchup aren't as good as with it.

Absolute Contrast 396

2011-08-10T13:15:00.002-06:00

Wrought Iron #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Taken the same day as the last image. The detail on this one is pretty cool, with only certain areas of really strong contrast.

Absolute Contrast 395

Three of the Four Sides #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Took this lovely pic of part of a gate the other day. Very cool. I especially like the plants and the partial vine on the base of the spear.

Way Up There #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought this was a pretty cool place to take a picture. I mentally bookmarked it so I would remember to get it. There is quite a lot going on in this photo.

Absolute Contrast 393

2011-08-08T12:31:00.004-06:00

See Dick Cross the Street #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Not sure why I took this picture; there's just something comical about the way this guy looks—like he's walking into 40 mile per hour winds.

Absolute Contrast 392

2011-08-08T10:58:00.003-06:00

Up and Down with Otis #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Ever paid attention to the gap between the solid floor and the steel box being held off the ground by metal cables (a.k.a. the elevator)? I took notice just the other day.

The Lost Muppet #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Not 100% of the title on this one, but then again, it really doesn't matter. It could be called a handful of things.

MC Escher Photo #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Taken at the Utah State Capitol, this really reminded me of something that would have come from the mind of Escher.

Nature Fingers #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Now this is a shot that I really like. There are just certain things around the house that can make for very interesting photos—in this case, a vase full of squiggly sticks.

Absolute Contrast 388

Nightstand Alibi #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Woke up the other morning and the light was hitting my nightstand, and the things on it, just right. Ah, mornings.

Absolute Contrast 387

2011-03-07T10:07:00.002-07:00

Hair Clip on Denim #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought this would make a cool contrast of textures, and what do you know, it does. I love the subtle highlights on the edge of the clip where the light catches it. Pretty cool.

Absolute Contrast 386

2011-02-24T09:43:00.003-07:00

Mmm...Pizza #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Sometimes there's nothing like a good slice of pizza, no matter where you get it from. Personally, I like pizza from The Pie, but more often than naught, I have to settle for something faster and cheaper.

2011-02-09T09:58:00.003-07:00

Nothing But Net #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Shot this the other day at a family dinner. This is the basketball hoop that I grew up with. I love the crazy trees behind it.

Absolute Contrast 384

2011-01-30T01:57:00.002-07:00

The Letter E (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I happened to be eating some pretzels when I looked at one before I ate it, and look what I found. It could easily be a W or an M, but let's face it, the letter E is far better than those.

Absolute Contrast 383

2011-01-06T16:41:00.003-07:00

Cold Winter Angles #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I think winter is a great backdrop for photography, especially the black and white kind. There is such depth and character in each image. It's like a piece of history, frozen in time; unmoving, almost lifeless—like Mother Nature in a self-induced coma.

Absolute Contrast 382

2011-01-06T15:26:00.002-07:00

Blustery Winter Day #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Winter is a different kind of animal. Some people like it, some people hate it. As long as I don't have to spend a lot of time outside in it, I can manage. I took this as I left one of my son's Jr. Jazz basketball games. Brr...

Ashtray Treasures #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast
Anyone with kids knows that no matter what, eventually one or more of their toys will migrate to the family vehicle. Depending on the amount of children you have, this could be as simple as a car or small doll. In my case, it's like freaking Noah's ark for toys.

Absolute Contrast 380

Star Light, Star Bright #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is a decorative piece in our house. It caught my eye the other day and I'm glad it did. Just look at the detail. Awesome.

Absolute Contrast 379

2010-12-24T22:59:00.003-07:00

Night Life, Snow & Rain #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Don't know about the title on this one, but it's late, and I am tired, so it will have to do. Driving at night sucks as it is; driving at night in the rain and snow is even worse. No worries, we were stopped at a light when I took this picture.

Absolute Contrast 378

2010-12-22T08:54:00.004-07:00

Old School Character #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is a shot of the rec-center floor where my son plays Jr. Jazz. Can't really tell from this pic, but it looks like there's at least 80 coats of wax or polish on this floor.

Absolute Contrast 377

2010-12-11T16:00:00.003-07:00

The Three Wise Bumps in the Snow #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought this was kind of an interesting thing I came across the other day. It's obviously a bike rack, but with the snow, it disguised it just enough.

Absolute Contrast 376

2010-12-09T09:59:00.002-07:00

Into the Fog #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I love fog, for some strange reason. Don't really like to drive in it, but there is something really cool about it—maybe it's part of the zombie kick I've been on lately. This is just outside of our neighborhood, which is in a bowl, so when the fog hits, we get it good.

Absolute Contrast 375

2010-12-08T13:50:00.002-07:00

Zombie Leaves #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Funny thing, when I took this picture (at my new place of employment), I thought of this exact title. Thinking that leaves are like zombies is weird, but for some reason, at that time, it made perfect sense.

Absolute Contrast 374

2010-12-01T17:18:00.003-07:00

The Hills Are Alive #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I took this shot looking out my back door before we were blanketed in snow. You can view a similar color version of this on my Flickr account (click here).

Oh My Lovely Rock Garden #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Took this shot in between shoveling rocks into a wheelbarrow and dumping that wheelbarrow outside of my "property line". What a pain...

Show Me Those Muscles #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Ah, toys from the past. I broke these out of storage the other day, just to remember being a little kid and take this pic.

A Camper's Perfect Bedding #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

There's nothing better when you find yourself in the wilderness with limited resources (food, water, toilet paper) than finding a bed of pine needles. Nature's best kept secret for a good nights sleep.

Hello, Daddy #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

One of the many toys that have spread themselves out through the new house. This one is kind of creepy. I don't know why, but it just is.

Absolute Contrast 369

2010-10-26T23:25:00.003-06:00

Hot & Cold #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Love the character and detail in old things. This faucet is no exception. I think my favorite part of it is the cursive letters that represent the hot and cold.

Absolute Contrast 368

2010-10-23T23:45:00.003-06:00

Picking Up Stuff #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I have found myself recently taking more trips to Lowes than I'd prefer; to simply pick up stuff, load it in the back of the van and take it home. I'm not complaining, I am thankful for being able to do all that, but I feel like I am becoming a "familiar face" there.

Absolute Contrast 367

2010-10-18T10:00:00.000-06:00

Bottoms Up #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Took this awhile ago when we went out to eat with the kids. Logan ordered an IBC root beer and thought it was awesome that it came in the bottle.

The Homestead #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is a shot of the backyard that was my childhood playground. There are a few things that have changed over time (minus two or three trees, among other things) but the one constant is that swamp cooler.

Absolute Contrast 365

2010-09-16T23:30:00.000-06:00

Hoop It Up #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I really like the way this picture turned out. The texture of the ball is amazing.

Creamed Corn's Folsom Prison #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Another shot of a conglomerate of shopping carts. I like how the paper in the first cart is somewhat readable.

Absolute Contrast 363

2010-09-16T02:00:00.001-06:00

On the Wall #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I was surprised that this turned out as well as it did, having shot this in the basement with a single light bulb as the only source of light. Turned out well.

Up, Up & Away #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Ah, now this picture brings back memories. This is one of the two swings in the back yard at my parents house. We used to really get going on these and then jump off and go flying. I'm surprised that we never broke any bones.

Absolute Contrast 361

2010-09-15T01:30:00.000-06:00

The Lone Milk Carton #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Sitting at the table one morning, I thought it might be nice to get a picture of the milk carton. Don't ask why, I have no idea...

Fancy Sleeping #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Sawyer fell asleep with his pinky up—we call that "fancy" sleeping around here. Too funny.

Absolute Contrast 359

2010-09-13T23:30:00.000-06:00

Where's the Grease For the Squeaky Hinge? #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Another great shot (in my opinion) from my parents house. The lines in this really speak to me—kind of like if walls could talk; this door is full of stories.

Absolute Contrast 358

2010-09-13T15:30:00.000-06:00

Sunlight & Soda #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I caught this little life moment the other night as the sun was coming in through the front window. I love how you can see the words reflecting off of the can onto the table.

Absolute Contrast 357

Whistler's Mothers Chair #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This chair isn't really the chair that Whistler's Mother sat in, but it got your attention, didn't it? This was actually at the studio where we got Sawyer's pictures done at.

Absolute Contrast 356

2010-09-13T09:00:00.000-06:00

The Letter U (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Again, there are many opportunities to find letters on site at construction sites. This was some sort of a staple I found at our new place.

The Ultimate Hose Attachment #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Like the cars of yesterday, I am not sure they make these sturdy, metal hose attachments anymore (I could totally be wrong, though). Great summer memories...

Absolute Contrast 354

Sunshine, Rain and Training Wheels #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Summer rain is the best—even when the thunder wakes up my kids. Nothing beats seeing it rain when the sun is shining.

Absolute Contrast 353

2010-09-10T22:30:00.000-06:00

Metal Product Prison #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought I'd take advantage of a shopping trip to Wal-Mart and snap a little artistic shot of the cart; squeaky, retarded wheel and all.

Absolute Contrast 352

2010-09-10T01:00:00.000-06:00

The Old Screen Door #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is the handle of the screen door at my parents house. As far as I know, the screen door has always been this way—old, majestic, and mysterious.

Absolute Contrast 351

2010-09-10T00:30:00.000-06:00

Changing of the Seasons #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Summer is slowly slipping away, and yielding to the cooler seasons. With the onset of fall comes less sunlight, but that won't stop me.

Remembering Childhood #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

While visiting my parent house for a family dinner, I had the opportunity to snap a handful of shots that really bring the memories back. This is a downward shot of the back porch and side piece of dirt where I would sit and play for hours.

Absolute Contrast 348

2010-09-08T18:30:00.000-06:00

Angles of Heaven #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

The name for this just came to me. I think it's fitting. There is a definite line of man made vs. organic.

Absolute Contrast 347

2010-09-08T11:45:00.000-06:00

Mini-Palm Springs #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I don't know why, but for some reason this picture reminds me of a Lego version of Palm Springs, or some place like it. Strange.

Absolute Contrast 346

The Letter T (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Pretty simple and plain, but it really speaks to me. I really dig the texture.

Absolute Contrast 345

The Letter A (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

The first letter in the alphabet as many people know it. Interesting enough, I had to rotate the picture 90 degrees counter clockwise to really see it.

Can I Be Your Superman? #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I love this ring. I've had it for years. I lost it a while back and then found it. I was happy to find it. It's one of the few pieces of jewelry I wear on a daily basis.

Absolute Contrast 343

Raise Your Hand if Your Sure #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I think it's funny the positions kids fall asleep in. Looks like Sawyer might take after his older sister, Mallory, who was the most dramatic of all our kids in this regard.

How's Your Bedside Manner? #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Funny thing about hospitals. It can be the newest, nicest and most well equipped, but unless you have staff with smiles and near perfect bedside manner, it doesn't matter one bit. We were lucky to have all of the above when we delivered our fourth baby.

Silly title, I know, but I think it works. Not the worst title I've come up with, for sure. This is Heather's purse and the arm of the chair in the delivery room. Great lighting.

This was one of the first praying mantises that we found this year, just a toddler. The kids got a kick out of holding it—said it tickled their hands.

I really like the way the light plays on the edge of the rough cement wall in this photo. Very intriguing.

Seriously, student drivers scare me. I know they need to learn, but can't they create some sort of a compound out at the salt flats that's like a camp for student drivers?

When you have the opportunity to teach 6-7 year old boys in Sunday school, odds are that you will almost always come across a pocket full of Legos that need to be taken away and held until after class.

What Does That Say? #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Funny thing about life is that sometimes you never know if a country printed on a piece means that's where is was made (like "Made in China") or something else. This is a close-up shot of part of the gas meter on the side of the house. It reads (upside down) Thailand. What do you think?

Round and Round. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I took this the other day and am just getting around to posting it. I really like the motion in this shot. It's the AC unit in back of our house.

The Letter L. (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Not much to this. Very simple, and yet compelling. Aren't nails and cement cool?

Even In Our Darkest Hours. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I truly believe that even in our darkest hours, there is a loving Father in Heaven that smiles down upon us and is more than willing to bless us. That is what this picture says to me.

The Letter A. (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Here is the first letter in the alphabet as we know it. I am sure there are better ones out there—it's just a matter of finding them.

Knot Hole. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Found this in the stairs of the new house. Kind of a cool shot down into the basement area.

Micro Machine Mania. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

My son has pretty much inherited my collection of Micro Machines. I find them scattered all over the house now, and some of the more fragile pieces (mainly helicopter rotors) have been snapped off. I just have to grin and realize that they are at least being played with.

I'd like to thank a former co-worker of mine for posing for this shot. Thanks, Kia.

From the Mouth Down. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This shot was a bit tricky to get. I had to use the mirror on the flip down visor to get it. Trickier than I thought.

Early Morning Dinosaurs. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Looks like more construction is beginning. It's not summertime in Utah if the orange cones and shifting lanes aren't present.

The Letter E. (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Ah, the letter E. While enjoying watching my kids play while swinging on the porch swing, I noticed the hose in the shape of the letter E. No way was I going to miss this shot.

Slight Interruption of Progress. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I love it how nothing in this world is perfect—even when you try your hardest. There is always something that seems to mess it up.
