Photos From June/July
This slideshow is composed of original images I shot in June and July of 2007 in Colorado and Tennessee. All photos were captured using a Canon EOS 20D and either a Canon EF 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens or a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens with a circular polarizing filter.
Many of these images are of the Honda XR400R that I just picked up. Brian and Les and I went up over Ptarmigan Pass. (Brian took the photos of me on the XR). The Honda is a really sweet ride, but it runs too rich over 10,000 feet, so we're definitely going to have to rejet the carburetor before I take it back up into the mountains.
Also, there's one picture of Jennifer and me camping out in Summit County. I took that shot late in the evening using a tripod and a timer. I kept the shutter open for a long time and we just held really still for the shot.
This slideshow (3:25) is a 15 Meg self-playing executable named other_ways.exe created using Imagematics StillMotion PE+. The soundtrack is Other Ways by Trevor Hall, off of the Shrek The Third soundtrack.

If you have an Apple, or you're running Unix, or if you're nervous about running a .exe file from my site, then click here to download the Macromedia Flash version. The resolution is not quite as good on the Macromedia Flash version, and you can't pause and go backward and forward, but it loads faster, and it's a fairly decent presention.

Other Ways Lyrics
As I walk on down
I feel like a clown
In a circus of my own
Oh my cover is blown
Feel like I got a heart made of tin
I thought of you this morning
Well I sleep into a state
As I awake
Well I start to find
That I can’t get your smoke out of my eyes
I guess I lose
I guess you win
I thought of you this morning
Well I think about all the other ways I could’ve played
All the other simple moves I could’ve made
All the other cards that I could’ve dealt
All the books I didn’t read upon my shelf
All the other ways I could’ve sung my songs
I’ve realized that none of it went wrong
It was all play
How could it be any other way?
Now that the chains are off
I’m free to roam
Everywhere I go
I feel like I’m home
Nothing hides
Everything is shown
She is always with me
I’m never alone
I guess you lose
I guess I win
I thought of you this morning
