New Albums

I am very excited about a new set of sample wedding albums that I received today. They are difficult to describe however they are very impressive. The best part, in my opinion is that they are "Made in Italy"... Everything great and and romantic comes from Italy. Okay maybe not everything but a lot...

I'll have to photograph these albums to show them off here.

Interstate I

A while back I was able to do shoot a local band, Interstate I. They needed some new promotional photos for some upcoming events. Here are a few images from that shoot.

I took a road trip over the weekend...

And I found the old town of Thistle which used to be on the way to Manti

New Business Cards!

I'm now setup to offer printing solutions for people and businesses. I can do anything from business cards to poster in a number of options. Anyway I am really excited about my new cards that I recently made. Ask me for one when you see me! They made with a special material that feels really different, the best way I could describe it is soft plastic. Anyway they are neato!

John F. Kennedy Jr. High School

I was recently contacted by a school administrator asking for help with their auditorium.

"But why would they ask you for help?" Good thing you asked!

For several years of my life, not that I have a whole lot under my belt, I have been some how working in an auditorium, theater or for some type of performing group. That's where I learned a lot of my lighting skills and a lot of my knowledge on building random stuff...

Anyway the point is that I was contacted because they needed someone to help with their theatrical lighting, it's in bad shape. I have been able to take a look at what they have and it looks like someone never went up on the catwalks to replace burnt out lamps (stage talk for "light bulb") or do maintenance on the equipment. So that's what I get to do for them. I'll be getting all the necessary lights working again, hang and aim them so they have something usable for all their future events taking place. I enjoy doing things like this so it's not so bad even though it's a big mess.

eBay and art

So I have recently had the opportunity to sell some valuable art pieces on eBay for, who I could now consider, a friend. She had four pieces that she has owned for some time but recently all they have been doing is taking up space. She recently redecorated and apparently the art does fit in any of the rooms in her house. So I was enlisted to help her get rid of these. I ended up selling all but one on eBay, the fourth didn't sell, and to my surprise one of the pieces sold for over three times the price we listed it for. It just so happened to be the one I liked the most, "Angel Affair" by Michael Parkes.

Anyway if you happen to be interested in selling some art work or you know someone who is let me know! I've decided it's kind of fun.

UPVA

I have been on the board of directors for the Utah Professional Videographers Association (UPVA) for the past two years and now going into my third year. This year my task on the board is Secretary. I'm excited about it this year because there are some great goals each board member has and it looks like we are all on the same page with where we'd like to take the UPVA.

In case you were wondering the UPVA is a professional organization aimed at raising the standard of video production in Utah, specifically event and wedding videography. You can visit the website here. Yes "videography" is a real word. Even though you can use photography in the same way as videography but videographers will probably be offended by that because their camera shoots more frames a second... anyway. Me personally, I will stick with photographer.

Happy February

Start of a new month and a new billing cycle. :)

If you don't know already you can visit my personal website at www.jprasmussen.com, soon I will be updating that website with more photos and a little bit more about what I do/can do.

Lately I've been working with Lauren at Hugs and Bugs helping her get a new website up and getting some of the designer clothing online in her new shopping cart. I just redesigned her website so make sure you take a look at it!
