Here is a sequence of pictures from a close call shooting a local high school basketball game. Luckily, he jumped and I was spared having the camera slam into my face.

Here are a couple of weather features from last week’s snow storm.

I just want to say thanks for all of the kind notes left on my blog regarding my third place award for Sports Portfolio in World Press. To see the winning entry, click HERE

Also, I have been experiencing technical problems with the email address on the Contact Page on my website. So, if you have sent me an email via the Contact Page within the past week and I have not yet responded, please resend the message. I did not receive it.

Thanks again,
Chris

Here are some of the photographers who were covering the funeral of LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley at the Conference Center.

Alta, Utah

During the past two and a half years, I have photographed LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley on three occasions: his 95th birthday celebration, during last April’s General Conference and at the dedication of his new visitor and alumni center at BYU.

On Sunday night, Hinckley passed away. He was 97. As you can imagine, this is major news here in Salt Lake City. I got the call to go down to Temple Square to see if anyone would congregate to lay flowers, pray, sing, light candles, etc… There were only a dozen or so people walking around the temple when I first arrived at 9pm. By 11, the crowd increased to over a hundred, many of whom were singing and lighting candles in remembrance of Hinckley.

This is going to be a historic week with a public viewing on Thursday and Friday, and the funeral service on Saturday.
