Shooting for Fun

You know what I shoot on a regular basis? Staged photo requests, swanky dinners, ribbon cuttings, sports, class assignments, answers instead of questions, other peoples families and future spouses....

All that is wonderful and I am very grateful for the things I'm learning.

But I need to shoot for fun! I miss the days where I would wonder around town and take pictures of flowers and portraits of the people I was with.

Melissa is my assistant at the paper and I've always admired her for her free spirit and absolute love of life. So I came up with an idea for us to go out to Utah lake late in the evening for some grainy uncontrolled fun. I didn't worry about technicalities and I embraced the question, why not?
