  • Alex Boyé at the Sugarloaf

    Alex Boyé at the Sugarloaf

    My wife asked me to take some photos today for a school field trip. Luckily, the field trip was at Dixie Rock which is one of my favorite places to hike around and shoot photos. While they were up on the Sugarloaf shooting a music video, I hiked around and snapped some pictures of the event. After about an hour, I thought I heard someone repeatedly shouting my name. I thought I must be delirious from the sun, or the fact I didn’t eat breakfast. I kept hearing, “Joe Cowdell! Joe Cowdell!” Feeling anxious, I called my wife to double-check my sanity. She reassured me that it was Alex Boyé calling my name and that my daughter, just talked to him. I didn’t really know who he was before today, and I doubt I will forget this memorable day at the Sugarloaf.

    Icy Sledding Trip

    We took a car trip to snow covered mountains nearby. Hiking a steep asphalt road with an icy crust left us laughing all the way down the hill. Pine Valley, Utah sits on the United States’ largest laccolith.

    Shooting someone’s eye is very personal and requires much patience. Have a place for your model to rest their head or try to stabilize it. Try not to blink!

    Sledding in Powder at Brian Head Resort

    We climbed hills near the Navajo lodge at Brian Head Resort in Brian Head, Utah. Sledding is a workout! We had a lot of fun, but there are a number of crashes, wrecks, and fails.
