I spent a few hours on Saturday helping out by taking portraits at one of the Help Portrait sites in Salt Lake City. The time I spent doing this has to go down as some of the most rewarding time I have spent as a photographer.

The image of me above was taken by one of the children at the event. The 4 year old boy had just had his portrait taken with his family. While they were waiting for the portrait to print I let him and his sister take some shots with my camera. It was so cool to see their eyes light up when they saw the pics they had taken.

Huge thanks to everyone in Utah and around the world that worked on the Help Portrait project this past weekend. I am so glad I was able to participate.

This year Photowalking Utah has added something to our annual Temple Square Christmas event – a winter clothing drive.

At the event on December 17th we will be collecting winter clothing items (hats, coats, gloves, boots, etc.) in good condition. These items will be donated to The Road Home to help them in their service to those less fortunate.

If you are attending, please take a look through your closet ahead of time and see if there is anything you can donate. If you are unable to make the evening outing but would still like to drop off items to donate, we will be accepting them in the fourth floor conference room of the City Library between 6:15 and 7:00 pm on the 17th.

All items collected will be given to The Road Home on Saturday December 19th.

I know I speak for others as well when I say how blessed I feel to be a part of Photowalking Utah. Let’s now take our group to the next level and help to bless others in their time of need.

This past Saturday was the 4th anniversary of LeggNet’s Digital Capture. Over 1,200 blog posts and 700,000 visitors later it still feels like I’m just getting started. Thank you everyone who has contributed to this little project that I started in 2005.

Maybe, but this is actually a test shot I did yesterday for a stock photo shoot I’m putting together in my studio. Even though it was just a test, I figured I should “get into character” a bit for the image :)
