General Conference

Before moving to Provo, I didn't know much about the LDS Church. In fact, growing up in a pretty non-religious household, I didn't know much about any church. Last week, though, I had the opportunity to shoot the General Conference up in Salt Lake City, and I feel grateful to the people I ...

An extra five minutes at the library

<p class="p1">Library features are a recurring task for the photo staff. Most stories the writers are doing about the local libraries don't have a specific event attached to them, so we will show up and just try to find a good feature. When I was assigned to get a library photo ...

Stefan Arriscorreta’s love for ballet

I spent a few days last week working with Stefan Arriscorreta, a 13-year-old who is an avid ballet dancer, for my Monday close up. Stefan got into ballet in a somewhat roundabout way - his mom thought a dance technique class would improve his posture a few years ago, and he reluctantly agreed ...
