Thought you guys might appreciate this, especially if you’re blues fans. I spent last week in Chicago doing immersion classes at Second City, and on Monday night I brought my camera down to Buddy Guy’s Legends, a well-known blues club at the south end of The Loop. As luck would have it, Buddy Guy himself showed up to sing a few songs, and I was able to get this shot and a few others, posted here. Since it was Open Jam night–where musicians are free to sign up to take a turn on stage–I brought a pair of drumsticks along for the event. Luckily Buddy had left long before I got up to embarrass myself.

Swung downtown this morning to get some General Conference pictures. The Sunday morning session was low on protesters and high on snow flakes. Here’s one interesting image that came out of the shoot. You can see more here.

I don’t know if this post qualifies as “timely” anymore (it definitely doesn’t qualify as “unique”), but I finally got together a few shots from last weekend’s Holi Festival of Colors. Ten minutes after the first color throw, people started sliding headfirst down the hill in front of the temple, and luckily I was right on top of it.

Special thanks to this article by Scott Jarvie. Without it I probably wouldn’t have braved the event with my camera. It was also cool to see some of you guys out in the field. I haven’t had the chance to meet many of you yet; mostly I’ve just been enjoying your posts from afar. Hopefully I’ll bump into more of you soon.

Friday night the Velour Live Music Gallery celebrated its 5th anniversary with a show that featured Jennifer Blosil, The Neighbors, The Vibrant Sound, and The Imagine Dragons. The venue was so crowded that I pretty much got stuck in the same position stage right for the whole evening, but I was still able to get some decent shots out of the effort. Click here to see more from the show.

The other night I drove up to the Bountiful Temple to work on some night photography. I got bored, then I got cold, then I started getting creative.

Yesterday morning I covered the second annual 4.01K Suit/Business Attire Run in downtown Salt Lake. According to the Facebook page, the purpose of the event is to network, build synergy, and to run through Salt Lake City in a suit.

The event starts at the top of Capitol Hill and makes its way down State Street to the Gallivan Center, where the route takes a hard turn to the west. Just past the Farmer’s Market, the runners turn north and make their way to the finish at the Gateway fountain.

People running in suits + adults playing in fountains + confused onlookers = good photo op.
