Stuck Behind The Lens

Salt Lake City News Photographer

More About Me...

Salt Lake City news photographer with somewhat of a look at reality from my point of view while being Stuck Behind The Lens shooting the news. The majority of the time I’ll just throw something up that’s makes absolutely no sense at all and pertains to nothing, that's just me being me!

Another Tit-Bit...

Oops....

You know, I kinda knew I had this blog thing, I just wasn't all that great and bloggin so Ive kinda stopped for awhile. Ya about a year long while, oops! Well, this week I think I actually have something to blog about (not that many read it), me in court. So let me get through today, and I'll throw something up....

Bloggin with the iPhone....

Needed a new cell provider and decided to go with AT&T, for the iPhone of course. Maybe, just maybe i'll blog a little more with my iPhone at my side, I wouldnt count on it though!

Fugitives update...

Some info for those that care to know, the fugitives were caught in Sweetwater County Wyoming last night on I-80.

Hey, your going to Vernal!

Oh Boy! The drive to Vernal from Salt Lake City is nothing short of mind-numbing as far as I’m concerned. A long 180 mile drive down the I-40, a single lane highway through nothingness filled with more of nothing. Vernal its self I guess isn’t all that bad as far as small rural towns go it’s just a hella drive to get there. Numbness aside we were sent like every other Utah news hungry junkie looking to get our fill for the day on a story that we had all been covering earlier that week, escaped prisoners form a prison in the sticks. A sighting, a confirmed sighting, or at least that’s what the ASSWIPE that said he had seen the convicts told the Sheriffs office. Why someone would even think of making something like that up is beyond me but someone did. Well it still gave us something to cover just focused on something and someone else for the moment, an IDOIT. After covering what we thought would have been the Sherriff recapturing there men we returned back to the ranch via another route. Much more worth it at least we thought its was. A drive through Wyoming, a drive most would consider another mind-numer seemed not only shorter a lot more picturesque passing big horn sheep roadside (yes alive) and more deer then I have fingers and toes (yes I have all of them) to count with and about 20 miles shorter on an actual Interstate. All in all an unusual trip I hope to forget but cant.

Still here...

Going on day 6 now of the Crandall Mine collapse I'm and still here waiting for some type of news about the miners trapped.So far the news hasn't been so good and I don't think this is going to turn out like the Sego mine but you never know. This is the most bizarre story that is constantly keeping all the media on its toes and working LONG hours. The strangest thing for me was when I was chosen to enter the mine as the pool photog for TV. When I was asked by Robert Murray to go in to the mine to shoot in front of all the other media outlets, my reply was ya, sure I'll go? What the #*@% did I just say? Oh hell no I didn't just say I would, but I did, I said I would go. Now how the heck can to get out of this pickle, I know pass it along to the chief. I had a bad experience when I shot documentaries for a Government Agency in California and wasn't about to relive another one. So ya I chickened out big time on this one. If it wasn't under the circumstances that they are, I would be in there in a heartbeat to capture it. I guess I just don't get paid enough to risk it!

I did kick my self in the ass after Todd (the chief) came walking is smiling yet scared face out of the mine. While he was in the mine he witnessed and captured a what miners call a bump. He called it a pants crapper! If I was asked again would I do it? HELL NO!

We'll see what happens next and hope for the best for the families!
