Well, the PDF of the Ensign is available for download now, so I could see for sure which photos of mine were published. If you want to check them out, you can find them on the following pages: 28, 55, 63, 91, 121, and 126 (the cutout of the Angel Moroni). The photo on page 121 is a photo of my mission president’s son and his wife. It seems like I run in to Pres. Pino just about every conference, and it’s always good to see him. Pres. Pino is a Seventy and serves in Columbia right now.

Shooting conference is fun, but it sure makes me appreciate how great it is to sit home and watch it on TV in my pajamas. From the 3-5,000 photos I take at conference, I edit them down to about 100. Usually from that, they use 6 or 7 on average.

While we were visiting Kristin’s parents in Beaver, Utah, we headed out west of town to the Mineral Mountains. The weather was perfect for some desert hiking, except on Saturday we went for a second trip to Rock Corral Spring and had about 4 inches of snow dumped on us. These photos are from a large boulder field created by a lava flow, called Black Mountain.

Each year at General Conference you are always sure to get some protestors and street preachers. That usually brings out what I like to call the anti-protestors that come out to distract the serious protestors. I’m pretty sure this guy is an anti-protestor . . .  or extremely lonely.

I’ve been photographing at the LDS General Conference since the fall 2004 session. It has been fun to freelance with the full time LDS church photographers. The photos we take are used in the Ensign and Liahona to accompany the text from the conference talks. Someday I’m going to make a page on my site to post some favorite photos from each conference.
