Year: 2016

  • December 23, 2016

    It’s… this time this year is similar to this time last year. Looking forward to Jan 1, planning for Jan 1, thinking of how next year will be improved on. Like, I’m going to write more. Funny, though, writing more is not ne.. or should say posting more is not a great idea. Quantity is…

    So hilarious. Just had a guy in the press room tell me what we really should be doing with our photo galleries to make them look better, get more engagement, etc. He details the whole plan, and I am able to tell him – I’ve built that site, and no one is using it. I…

    My assignment last night was the Utah Democrats Election Night Party. Not the happiest place. .:. The coverage of the campaign has been atrocious – always falling back to the horse race rather than issues. And how does the New York Times run the odds of Hilary winning (always over 85%) up until late last…

    Just back from a cold walk – with Ruby who was pinballing all around chasing sights sticks and smells. Had someone reach out asking about the Short Creek zine I put out a while back. This was the push I needed to set up https://store.trent.photo. .:. We had a great fovi8 meeting last night. I’ve…

    Did I say something in the last post about taking my obsessions and doubling down on them? I made a second PGO user and as of 16 hours later it’s at level 8. And a diff team than my main player. On the walk this morning I realized why stop at two players? Why not…

    P-GO – still playing, level 28. It seems to give me, I mean I’m doing so many things at once right now and pushing myself mentally. P-GO keeps the wheels spinning. .:. Been building the back end of Fovi8, and it’s going to be killer. It’s the fifth time I’ve built the concept and the…

    This weekend is when the twice-yearly neighborhood meetings take place. They kicked off last weekend with a women-only event, where one speaker posited the idea that people in the neighborhood are being too sensitive to those with same-sex attraction, those who aren’t married, those who can’t have children. It was nearly a year ago that…

    Back from RNC – biggest memory I guess is that they used a wire photo on the front page instead of my photos. I had a great one, too. I got seriously f*cked by my own org. Thanks!

    I’m really down on a lot of the major tech offerings. I’m completely off goo now. And as far as facb, it’s so dominant now that I need it for research/journalism purposes (but not going to post there anymore, or read). Observation: there’s a group of PJs on facb that is always posting about copyright…

    Being a dad – you get laughed at because you still haven’t fixed the rear view mirror of your car. But

    This trip is about over. The sun is rising and I’m about to drive home. For all of the homesickness I felt on the trip, the photos were good. Even the parade that I didn’t expect much from produced at least a couple of interesting photographs. And Short Creek was a good time. Was able…

    4th of July. It’s my third morning waking up alone in a hotel room. The sunrises are beautiful and I’ve made timelapses of a couple. But being alone so much can crack you. I’ve been ready to go home for a while now. Looking back, I came down … I mean I came down here…
