Such a Position Requires Balls
Halloween is Scary
Fall Colors

Here’s a beautiful photograph that was never published. Every fall newspaper photographers are sent out to capture the changing of the season.
I got the call one day, with the reminder that, “It’s got to have people in it!”
I drove up Farmington Canyon after a light dusting of snow and there was not a soul in sight. But there was this beautiful scene as the sun snuck out through the foggy clouds.
I was unaware that another Tribune photographer had also gotten the fall colors assignment. His photo ran in the next day’s paper. Was it because there were no people in mine? No. His shot had no people in it, either.
The Showdown
Last Saturday Chris Detrick and I were down in Provo to photograph the BYU vs. TCU football game. We had been tasked with putting out a video piece on the game. Wanting to do something different we decided to use the wild west theme of our sports page that day, which featured a cartoon of two gunfighters (a cougar and a horny frog) in a showdown. We put together a video mashing up various elements from the sports page (over-the-top headlines and text, the cartoon) as well as our photos from the game. I just checked for it on the Tribune site and noticed that the video isn’t working. Now that I look around, I don’t think it ever even went up.
Not to worry, it got taken a step further and this version is quite ridiculous. Enjoy:

Those infernal refs. Always running in front of me.
