so here’s what i’ve been up to:

  1. school. i’m back in provo, and it’s great. except today it was really cold :(
  2. my apartment is a little ghetto, but i like some parts of it. like the large-ish living room.
  3. i’ve been doing a really good job with cooking. normally all i eat is pbj and ramen, but this year i’ve actually made meals. multiple times per week even. crazy, huh?
  4. i’m taking a black and white film class where we use really huge cameras that i fail at using. it’s really confusing and technical. hopefully once i start using the cameras more i’ll get the hang of it.
  5. the other photo class i’m taking is intro to digital. we had our first real assignment yesterday. (see image 1)
  6. it’s autumn. bret and i went somewhere into the mountainous area of provo last weekend and took pictures. it was glorious. (see images 2, 3, & 4)
  7. i went fishing, and i gutted a fish. true story. (see images 4 & 5)

ok, just looking at this picture makes me sick. if you look at the bottom, you can tell i’m right on the ledge. basically instant death.

last night shawn and i hiked cable mountain. it’s called that because at the end is an old cable system that was built in the early 1900′s to haul lumber down into zion canyon. it was closed in 1930, and this is all that’s left:

there were a bunch of nails sticking out of the wood on the cable system, so i hooked my camera to them and we took this picture on self-timer. it wasn’t really the sturdiest setup, and that’s why the picture is incredibly crooked. probably one of the stupidest things i’ve done in a while, considering had my camera fallen off (which was entirely possible) it would’ve been history.

speaking of being history, shawn and i almost died. there was a rattlesnake on the side of the trail, and i came way too close to stepping on it.

this is why we went in the evening (click to enlarge):
