  • Petrified Polliwog Puddle

    Photography for TEDxStGeorge at Electric Theater was done the night before. Jami Lah had more in store for us. Exploring and soul-searching near Petrified Dunes in Snow Canyon State Park was our first adventure of the day. A short hike, followed by a calming breathwork and yoga session with Ryan Bean yoga was phenomenal. Afterward, I decided to continue hiking and photographing the beautiful surroundings. While I was hiking around I saw some reflections in rain puddles that caught my eye. That’s not all, as the tiny creatures fluttered about just under the surface. They are baby toads or frogs or who knows what. Some people call them polliwogs, and some call them tadpoles. They are amphibians, and I don’t know how they got there.

  • 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.
