An enchanted Princess, a noble Prince and an evil magician all dancing about the stage. Yup, it’s Swan Lake, and Ballet West’s production of the beloved ballet is spectacular. These are photos from the dress rehearsal, but the tragic love story opens tonight at Utah’s Capitol Theatre. Be sure to get you tickets (YOU should take your sweetheart, just sayin’). There are performances February 12, 13, & 17-20, 2010.

Continuing on from yesterday’s post… after M.I.A., New York’s Star F*ing Hipsters (hey, its a family blog) took the stage for a high-energy and varied set. After that came U.K.-style political-tinged commentary from Bath, England’s own Citizen Fish, featuring former frontman of the influential Subhumans, Dick Lucas. And finally it was time to make way for the man himself as Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine took the stage to demonstrate once again why Jello is such a legend. Stirring performance.

So here’s a bit of a diversion from the usual…
Back in 1979 American punk bands had just a pickle of a time getting records made and distributed. One of the most active, influential and notorious of these plucky groups was The Dead Kennedys – true pioneers of hardcore. In the true spirit of the punk DIY ethic, they started their own label, Alternative Tentacles, which rapidly grew to be the home of dozens of varied acts with an eventual catalog of hundreds of ground breaking, important albums. The DKs and many of the other bands that Alternative Tentacles carried were a huge part of my early life and the memories are so vivid that they seem like yesterday…. Well, they weren’t! They were exactly 30 years ago! To celebrate, Alternative Tentacles invited a representative cross-section of acts from throughout its history. My buddy (and amazing photographer in his own right) Nick Adams is the guitarist for one of those invited bands, M.I.A. Nick was kind enough to invite me out for the show! Part 2 is here.

For those of you unfamiliar with what a quinceañera is, it is the traditional coming-of-age celebration for girls of Latin American heritage. Held on a girl’s 15th birthday, it combines much of the significance found in Jewish bat mitzvahs (transition into adulthood), Catholic confirmation ceremonies (re-affirmation of the bond with God), sweet sixteen parties (an excuse to have a GIANT party), and a debutante ball (introduction to society and a kick-butt dress!).
They’re a really big deal in the western U.S. where there are large Latino communities, but despite my hopping between California and Utah, this was the first quinceañera I’ve ever shot. It totally rocked!

HEY PHOTOGRAPHERS! Did you know that one of the world’s premier wedding album manufacturers has its albums produced RIGHT HERE in Salt Lake City? IT’S TRUE!
KISS Wedding Books – ‘the world’s simplest book company” - has enjoyed such success that they’ve had to expand their production facilities earlier this year and chose our own back yard as their new production home! Want a tour? YOU GOT IT!
On October 14th Shaun Austin & Kevin Swan bring their Get Simple Tour to Salt Lake City with special guest speaker, Utah’s own Pepper Nix….and a tour of the plant is included! All for a measly $100.
Why, you probably spend more on lint rollers every month…

UPDATE: Due to the proximity of Thanksgiving, it was decided that the seminar is being postponed until sometime next year. We’ll keep you posted when we know more.
About four years ago I attended a seminar in Los Angeles by famed Australian photographer David A. Williams. I’ve attended many seminars and I find something useful in all of them – but David’s message was the only one that I can honestly say left me….moved. There are many gifted photographers out there who can show you a new way to see images, help you redefine what to shoot, teach you how to wrangle the most from your equipment, or offer priceless information on how to reach your ideal client. But David speaks to something altogether different, and arguably more important: why we shoot. David shoots from the heart. And he will inspire you to do the same.
I am honored to be co-hosting David in his new 3-day seminar presentation along with the inimitable Pepper Nix of Pepper Nix Photography and Heidi & Tim Uhl of Retrospect. The seminar runs from November 23-25, 2009 at the ZumaPhoto studio in Salt Lake City, UT. You really owe it to yourself to attend.
