Lindsey Bridals

Never a dull moment. We shot Lindsey's bridals on Tuesday and it was like 95 degrees. During our day we shot some pics downtown Salt Lake, got harrassed by a homeless man, got attacked by more bugs than I have ever seen in my life, and were stuck in traffic for eternity, had the cops get after us at the State Capital and my car broke down on the way home at midnight(radiator hose exploded). I had my wife, my sister-in-law and my boy Jack stuck on the side of the rode on an off ramp immobile. I was walking to a gas station about a mile away and an older couple picked me up at midnight!! They took me to Smiths to get anti-freeze and on the way back we saw a cop and waved him down and I got in the car with him so we could take me back to the car. He lit up like a bolt of lightning. In the end we stayed the night at my sister in laws friends house on their floor. Jack slept with the dog's blanket and pillow. We were glad to be somewhere other than the car. Thank you Henderson family for your hospitality. We arrived home 16 hours later than expected.
All said and done Lindsey has been a die hard. I told her in the beginning if we want to get the best we have to work for it. She did all the way through and it was worth it. Thanks for your hard work Lindsey. Always an adventure!!

Good Things Utah!!

Last week I stayed at my little brother's house and the next morning we woke up and went to Good Things Utah with three of his friends Jordan, Jared and Bridger. We thought we would shake things up a bit since it is normally a show for females. We pulled up to the studio and saw a line of women and not one man. Someone asked if we should turn around. We decided to approach it like men and just go for it. When we got inside we sat between rows of Brownie scouts and Draper moms. The first thing the announcer asked was 'Why are you here?" My little brother Matt said, "Because we love the show". I personally had never seen it. In the end we learned about how to cook Beefalo ( a mix between a cow and buffalo) and how to plant trees with Grandma Joy. It was interesting and apparently quite a few moms watch it in Utah. When it was over we got to go take pictures with the hosts. I might add we got three television appearances as an audience and we can be heard yelling in the background with our masculine Arsenio type hoots. Fantastic adventure!
