What Do I Do? #1
Everyone seems to wonder what I do when I go out of town all the time. I will try, periodically, to shed some light on the subject. He he. Get it. Light. Photography. The study of light. Whatever.
This is my favorite shot from the Hawaii trip. In particular, I was shooting candids during an awards ceremony (an unusually rockus one by most people's standards). Honestly, it was a lucky shot to actually be in focus and have time smiling and have the stage in the background. I love it. It makes me happy.
Kids Do the Darndest Things
It's kind of funny the EXACT spot you get tired sometimes. Aren't nephews the cutest!?
LDS GEMS: A Time to Become More Christlike
I'm not really that into the full text posts but I subscribe to LDS GEMS and every so often one really hits me. And so, I shall share...
"The time has some for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a season to be strong. It is a time to move forward without hesitation, knowing well the meaning, the breadth, and the importance of our mission. It is a time to do what is right regardless of the consequences that might follow. It is a time to be found keeping the commandments. It is a season to reach out with kindness and love to those in distress and to those who are wandering in darkness and pain. It is a time to be considerate and good, decent and courteous towards one another in all our relationships. In other words, to become more Christlike."
("This is the Work of the Master," Ensign, May 1995, 71)

Mesa, Arizona Temple
My parents were sealed here... The panels that go around the temple are of different groups of pioneers.
The Christus inside the Visitor Center. I saw the new Joseph Smith film while I was there.
Members of the Mesa Clan
So Mesa may be the only other place in the world that I have family so when I had a job in Phoenix, I decided to head over a few days early and visit them. Silly me barely pulled out a camera to capture them. This is my cousin Evan with this "girlfriend" Victoria.
This is my Aunt Judy. She says I'm her favorite niece but I'm not sure the competition is very stiff. She'll probably kill me for this picture. For some reason I like to take pictures of other people taking pictures. Who knew?

Nancy's Gonna Get Hitched
So it's Nancy's last Sunday in Georgia and she has a dinner for us, her friends, at Leslie's house. This is her and Dave (her fiance). I hope we got some good engagement photos. He wanted to take more joke pictures that real ones.
This is the, hidden, double sadness of Shannon as it's the last time she'll see Nancy in Georgia and I have to leave the party early and go to work. Boooo. On both accounts!

Harlem Globetrotters
So Karla scored some tickets to go see the Harlem Globetrotter and then got us into a meet and greet session. Since I was the shortest, I decided to stand in front of the tallest guy (just for giggles). Okay! I'm 5'4". What was he, like 7'4"?
In all actuality, I wasn't that interested in the Globetrotters. I had eyes only for the MC that night. He had passion, he danced and he play kickin' music too! Leighton, you are one kool kat.
