Happy New Year!

I took this photo from outside our apartment on New Year’s Day. 
I thought the clouds were pretty cool looking.

Asher’s Stuffed Animals

Asher has taken a liking to his stuffed animals, as you can see in these photos:

 

 

Michael’s Laundry Room Studio

I got a couple of good Christmas gifts to help in making videos.
The first one was this microphone which I’ll use for voice-overs, recording music, and other things:

I’ve been looking forward to getting a tripod for a while now.
We found this one (that extends to 56” tall) online for pretty cheap:

I have a video editing software that can do green screen effects, so I decided to take one of our sheets, which happens to be olive green, and hang it on the wall in my new studio that doubles as a laundry room. I had to iron the sheet to remove the shadows.

 

When I have some time I’ll put together a dumb little green screen video and post on here. Stay tuned…

Carl Bloch Exhibit

If you haven’t headed over to the BYU Museum of Art to see the Carl Bloch The Master’s Hand exhibit, you are either a big dummy or a heathen. The tickets are free, so just do it already.

While you’re there, go downstairs and check out this electronic art thingy. It’s made by a projector, your shadow, and…magic?

Asher in the Snow

 

This is Asher’s first real experience playing in the snow.

Taken at his Grandparents’ house in Fillmore.

Sunrise

This photo was taken from our parking lot the same morning of the Provo Tabernacle fire. This was probably the best sunrise I’ve ever seen.

Christmas Concert

We were lucky enough to win the lottery for tickets to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert featuring David Archuleta & Michael York. Over a million people put in for tickets and we received 4 of the 80,000 given out. We decided to take my parents with us.

It was very good. David Archuleta has a very nice voice and Michael York is a great storyteller.

We also did a quick walk through temple square before the concert and saw the Christmas lights. Here are some photos we snapped:
