My father



I stopped by my parents house the other day to have my dad teach me to fix my bike.









He's a pretty rad guy. All I really want is to be like him when I grow up.

College

Some things that will have to happen before I go to college:

1. Rest.

One of the biggest reasons I have no desire to go to school right now is even thinking about it makes me tired, emotionally and physically. I see how hard my friends work and I don't think I have the strength for that right now.

2. Money.

I need to figure out how to pay for it, which I suppose means that I need to find a job that I could stand working while I save.

My current job does not fit that bill.

Also, student loans really, really, really scare me. Really.

3. Research.

I want to go to school for photography - this much I know. Pretty much everything else is up in the air right now. I don't know if I should go to art school or a university, I don't know how my portfolio stacks up against other applicants and I don't even know what part of the country I'd like to be in.

4. Enthusiasm.

This is, by far, the most important ingredient that I'm missing. Once I get excited, I can force myself to make the other things happen. But right now the prospect is more daunting then exciting.

Anyway, this is a short list I've come up with. As I write this, here at work, I'm thinking about how I'd much rather be in a photography class then talking about PCI compliance, and that gets me a little excited about the idea of school.

So, is school in my future? I truly have no idea. In the mean time I'm working on my portfolio and trying to figure out how to get more work and exposure.

So, you know, I guess we'll see.

Light up your lighter

In an attempt to fight off the swarm of wasps that was preventing us from playing basketball, Trace, Aldric and I lit our basketball hoop on fire.

It didn't really work, but the neighbor kids think we're totally cool.

Dickhead-In-Provo

Since I've been working on my SEO skills and trying to write better posts, my other blog has been steadily increasing in readership.

Because of these two things my images are starting to show up more on Google Image results. Type in "Provo Critical Mass" and a quarter of the images on the first page are mine.

So what's my point?

If you cross me I'm going to make sure typing in "Provo Douchebag" brings up a photo of you.

Watch your back.
