- I just want to say that I’m learning a lot from this coversation. Thanks everyone.
— Trevor Christensen on Questions questions - Huh…. Nice boom light. How much do you think the SLFD would charge to rent that bad boy out to drop a little light in a hard to get to place for an upcoming shoot?
— Bryan William Jones on Accident investigation - Great job Trent, way to find the angles.
— scott winterton on Utah vs. Georgia Gymnastics - Garry that’s one thing I see as a positive in all this. Though I’m not getting a day rate, it does at least open a few new doors to me that otherwise might not open. Even at the high school level of sports they require a UHSAA credential (different scenario, but the restricted access idea is the same) While I’m not banking on the idea of spec shooting as being my largest source of income, at least for me right now I see it as a step forward.
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions - A question I have is what about credentials? As a freelancer and especially doing spec shooting, it is so difficult to get credentials. Granted great photos may be had at events without such, but getting into the inner circle where the photos are is out. There’s also the cost of events, there are times one can’t afford the cost. I remember getting into many events just showing the press I.D., for instance the zoo. Great place to find a feature photo, but can’t afford the entrance fee now, and just to get a photo to add to the portfolio...
— Garry Bryant on Questions questions - Lol, the “no worries” was in direct reference to the no gf/wife/child/dependant thought. I have plenty of worries in my life Senor Smith. And I definitely understand the idea of not needing professional sports to make great photos. I shoot a lot of concerts, and I think some of my best images were from unknown artists at Kilby Court. And while the idea is true that you can make great images no matter what scene your in, (correct me if I’m wrong) the fact of the matter is that no matter what, even a great photo at a high school...
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions - Man, I do need your life you. No worries? You must have a good stock of Diet Coke. I’m jealous. Don’t worry. They’ll come if you decide to become a freelancer or you decide to get a girlfriend. Kidding aside, spec shooting is a bad idea. I tell kids in college it’s not. Why? It’s a means of shooting and portfolio building. Is it smart? No. But when you’re in college you have a miniature world at your disposal. No real life pressures or expenses. Basically you can do whatever you want. It’s a great time to...
— Patrick Smith on Questions questions - For the most part I don’t like tilted images, but I do experiment a little sometimes. I have found that I do tend to over-tilt though. I appreciate your comment. I do wish I could see it with a straight horizon.
— Christopher Reeves on Utes vs. Ducks - See and that’s the other thing that’s edging me toward jumping in. I’m single (shut up, Jeremy), no kids, no prospects, no worries. If there ever were a personal situation to take the risk it would be now or sometime close to now. I’m sure I’d be a lot more hesitant, if not averse to attempting it if I had a child to feed or a wife to take care of. For those that advise against the spec shooting. I can understand where you’re coming from, but the question I pose is this: If I don’t do the spec shooting, what...
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions - For me, this is way too much tilt. I really don’t care about the other players on the right and would have enjoyed this sequence much more if the horizon wasn’t tilted 45 degrees.
— Chris Detrick on Utes vs. Ducks

OK, I’ve lost my iphone more times than I care to count, I’m excited that mobile me will now feature a locater map, the ability to turn it off of silent and in case its gone for good a kill switch. I’ve had one iphone walk away already and its really unnerving to know someone has access to everything thats on my phone.
I just voted that I don’t want an Iphone. Right now I have the blackberry storm which has virtually has all the iphone stuff (except the new updated version of the iphone) but it’s AT&T’s really bad coverage out here in the west that really turns me off. Many times I have been letting co-workers (reporter types) use my phone because they can’t get service outside the main metro areas. Now if I was a metrosexual kind of guy I would love it. An iphone on verizon’s network would totally kick ass!
Jimmy
PS. To my dear coworkers and fellow shooters that have Iphones, please note I did NOT call you metrosexual. HA!?!?
Hey Jim, check out the latest news from the Trib- AT&T just bought Verizon’s network in 18 Utah Counties!! Looks like you’ll be borrowing the reporters’ phones from now on. Time to go metrosexual, my man!

Trent,
I am on my way now to go clothes shopping and get a manicure.
Thanks,
Jimmy
Trent! I can take back my low-rise tight jeans! http://www.sltrib.com/business/ci_12562630
The Tribune just ran a correction. Current Verizon services will not be effected at all! It is the newly acquired alltel stuff that is going to at&t! No more metro for me. Awesome, I can’t wait until this manicure is ruined and I have hangnails again! I think I am not going to shower for about five days in hopes of getting this metrosexual stuff off me.
Jimmy
Oh man, I just knew that story had a smell to it. At least we got your hair cut before the correction ran.
