Reaching Higher Originally uploaded by BrighterPhotosI love this shot. It is rich and moody. It makes me think about a dark and stormy night. I think it was weird, but I got this when shooting in broad daylight. There was no modifying of the shot except for a slight vignette. This was straight from the camera. I like it a lot.

From the office Originally uploaded by BrighterPhotosSo I sit right next to a mountain. It is spring now, and I tell you, I REALLY want to be outside right now. So I shot this from the office window, on the iPhone, and changed it slightly. I really don't want to be inside right now. Oh well, gotta work!

Happy Couple 2 Originally uploaded by BrighterPhotosSo my cousin and his girlfriend came by over the weekend. It was a great time had by all. They are just as crazy about photography as I am.

CRW_3497.jpg Originally uploaded by BrighterPhotosSo I took this picture playing around with my flash. What I wasn't expecting was getting this shot. I love the mood and the lighting. I think this is one of my more favorite shots that I got out of this shoot. The mood is made form the lighting and the Low Key. It makes me think and ponder.

CRW_4783.jpg Originally uploaded by BrighterPhotosBrides. Why are brides so much fun to shoot? Because weddings are a special time. They are a time to remember. When captured correctly, the photos will always bring us to remember that special time. I think it is incredibly important to select the right photographer and for the photographer to realize how important the event is and treat it

A Morning at Work Originally uploaded by BrighterPhotosAs I was leaving for work this morning, I looked out my garage and there was some cool lighting. Those pictures didn't work out, however, it encouraged me to take my camera to work. And this was the shot from my window at work.

Sun Setting on Provo Originally uploaded by BrighterPhotosSo I was parked at a street lamp and while there rolled the window down and shot his picture. The lift causes such a wonderful contrast. The picture just jumps out at me. It makes me feel thoughtful and reflective. I get lost in the imagery. I also took another picture which follows. It does the same for me.The setting sun on Provo

Flower, originally uploaded by m2bright.So today I left work, and while waiting for my ride, I took a moment to look around and found this little flower. When I saw this flower I immediately went calm. I always feel this way when I am taking pictures. Photography helps me calm down and focus on the small and simple things. I am able to appreciate more fully the important things and reflect on

Pensive, originally uploaded by m2bright.This is a quick one. I love this shot of my sister in law. She has a very interesting look. Although the light is blown out in this shot, I still think it works. The light naturally bounces off of her shirt and into her face. That is what makes the shot.

The tickler and the tickled, originally uploaded by m2bright.On Sundays, my wife and I eat dinner with her aunt and uncle and their family. We have all sorts of fun. On this past Sunday, we ate outside and the light was spectacular. I wanted to snap the light, but while I was positioning myself, the scene unraveled itself. There is so much joy in their faces. There always seems to be

Grove, originally uploaded by m2bright.So when I took this picture, I was interested in shooting the trees. I loves the sunlight that was passing through the grove of trees. The important part of taking a picture is the perspective.When I see this shot, it takes me into a comfortable and quite place. I reminds me of the fishing trips my dad, grandpa, and brother and I used to take when I was

So my friend and I headed out on Labor Day, intent on finding great light and interesting stuff to take a picture of. We also wanted to relax.You know, I love photography. I love how it makes me feel when I shoot a picture, and I can feel the stress just running out of my body. It's a creative outlet. I have a few images that were fun for me, so here we go.Reaching for the MorningReaching for

Web in the morning light, originally uploaded by m2bright.So of late I have really been focused on looking at different qualities of light. This morning coming into work, I found this gorgeous spider web that had this marvelous light. I wonder what life would be like without light... I think it would be nothing. All that we have, do, and experience is due to the existence of light. In it's

Portrait of bluberries, originally uploaded by m2bright.I snapped this with an iPhone. I loved light on the berries. When I think of berries, I like to think of fresh berries in water and delicious to taste. When I saw these in this light I had to snap this and savor the flavor forever! Yum!

Sisters, originally uploaded by m2bright.My wife and her sister. They are the closest of friends. In this image, the closeness of the two of them can be seen. When you look at them, they exude love. They are quite the pair. They play together and laugh together. While we were at the cabin over the weekend, I asked them to pose for me. I wanted to experiment with the light. What sports!

So today I am at a cabin in the Uintah Mountains. Of late I have been focusing a lot on my photography. Working on trying to get more and more business. Trying to find models and people who would be willing to have me take their picture. I think a lot of people view pictures and such differently than I do.Growing up, my family did not have a lot of pictures taken. I can remember a handful of

I have since watched many podcasts and other videos and people who have told me that the important part of a blog is to present yourself and or photos. In this feeling, I am posting this shot of r a sunrise. This was shot in Colorado from the
