Whitney's Photographic Memorandums

Happy Father's Day!

2008-07-06T18:44:00.000-07:00

I love babies!!! We featured a few fathers in the issue before Father's Day and I got to go take photos of babies and their fathers. This two-week old was my favorite!

I love my dad, by the way.

SHIDARA

2008-07-06T18:32:00.000-07:00

On assignment, I took some photos for a BYU-Idaho event featuring a group called Shidara. They practice ancient Japanese drumming styles and have been touring for several years now. I was quite impressed with their execution and engagement with the audience.

Rexburg Idaho Temple

2008-07-06T18:09:00.000-07:00

This is the Rexburg Idaho temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The temple and house of our God can bring only joy and immeasurable peace that nowhere else on earth can provide. I testify of it's sacredness and it's importance and influence in my life and in work of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Scenes of a Symphony

2008-07-06T18:02:00.000-07:00

Here's a few scenes of an orchestra. One thing I've learned about photography is that the eyes through a camera see hidden stories not otherwise seen.

Jazz Festival

2008-07-06T17:52:00.000-07:00

On assignment, I was able to go to a Jazz festival featuring the BYU-Idaho jazz band and a few soloists. The trumpeter featured was Byron Stripling and the singer was Kevyn Lettau, both of who are accomplished jazz artists.

Take me to the park

Here's a few shots of a walk through Porter Park

Happy Spring!

2008-03-23T11:18:00.001-07:00

Whoa it's been a long time! Happy Easter though! Here are some old pictures. I was on a plane going back to school and these pictures were flying over rainy Oregon, and as soon as we got over the clouds there was a rainbow! Who knew they were a circle from above? It makes sense though. Anyway, we few inbetween the sun and the rainbow and you could see the plane's shadow. Anyway, pretty cool.

A Hidden Beauty

2008-02-19T21:41:00.000-08:00

This weekend I was able to go back to my home town Baker City, Oregon! I always forget how beautiful it is there in that little valley. These pictures were from a ski trip up to Anthony Lakes. I'm not going to lie, I love it there.

Just a glimpse of an Idaho Sunset.

Nothing to Say

I'm walkin though a Winter Wonderland

2008-01-07T17:13:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm back in Idaho at school after an amazing Christmas break! Classes don't start until Wednesday, so I have a little time to play with my photos. I found an old copy of me and my grandma Dorene and thought I would touch it up. It's probably one of my favorite pictures of all time. I wish I could remember more about her.

Cute huh?!

It's snowing like crazy right now! I usually hate the snow, but it was absolutely beautiful this morning where the whole world was a fluffy frost of white and you could barely distinguish the land from the white sky. I wish I had my camera.

St. Augustine, FL

2008-01-07T16:27:00.000-08:00

After our Disney Vacation, we headed up to my sister's house in Gainesville and got to spend some good times there. They took us to St. Augustine, FL which is the oldest European established city in the United States. It was pretty cool.

Here's the oldest school...

with people in the way. always in the way...

This is Fort Matanzas built by the Spanish in colonial America. You can tour the inside which has a lot of the history facts in it, but I didn't go in. We went to the candy shop instead. :)

I liked the boyscouts playing games outside the fort.

Fun Day!

2007-12-28T20:09:00.000-08:00

Here's some pictures of our way fun day at the beach!

This is a little lizard that Emilea caught. She scared it, so it shed it's tail. But isn't it cuuute?!

Gator-ville

2007-12-28T19:59:00.000-08:00

These are pictures of a wildlife reserve in Gainseville, FL. "Danger/Alligators" I personally loved the turtles, but the little alligator was cute.

We stopped by Lowe's on our way home and I thought it looked pretty.

Animal Kingdom

2007-12-27T18:20:00.000-08:00

It was really hard to get some good shots of the creatures at Animal Kingdom, but here's a few of giraffes, lions, upside down trees, and flamingos.

The happiest place on earth

2007-12-26T21:49:00.001-08:00

Here are a few more of my favorites from Disney World/Universal Studios. For a first timer, I understand why they call it the happiest place on earth!
Here is a shot of my sister, Rachel, and other random people too.

(Blue is my favorite color)

I'm sitting here with my sleeping family watching The Santa Clause on Christmas Day, 2007. We spent our vacation in Florida/Disney World this holiday season and it's marvelous! Here's some pictures to prove it.
