I had to go out to Tooele today for work. On my lunch break I took a little drive out to the west, just south of Grantsville.

Smile

Here is one of Josh's pictures. I know Jene' will want this posted. She says it is an historical moment- the only time I have ever smiled in a photograph. I think that might be a bit of an exageration. After 40+ years of having my picture taken I'm sure I was forced to smile a few other times. Besides it is taking all of my "manly" powers of concentration to give her that affectionate hug.

Skins

Jacob wanted to go on "vacation to the zoo with Dad". So we took a half day and went to the zoo. Jene', Josh and my younger brother met us there later. Josh and I took the camera along so we would have something fun to do.

The attempt for me was to view things in the artistic realm. The other option was to photograph the people of the zoo and forget the animals. I may have to return to that topic some day because there is lots of 'interesting' material on that subject.

Josh will have to post his stuff later. He took about 700 pictures. After the out takes editing he is down to 100. He is in the process of narrowing it down to his top 5 pics. He is actually starting to get an eye for it. I wish digital had been an option when I was learning. Would have saved me a lot on development costs.
