This is a photo I took of the old Bonneville Hotel in Downtown Idaho Falls. The place holds great memories for me... After the hotel closed down their remained an excellent Chinese restaurant in the lobby for some time. I recall eating their on special occasions with my folks. The highlight was always getting a few of their "white rabbit" candies after the meal. The restaurant has since closed. What a shame.

I took this picture a few months ago while camping in Island Park. The place where we were had few points of interest except the lake my Father-in-law likes to fish at and some four wheeler trails that wind around these odd rock piles. I thought it was interesting that even the most ordinary or boring locations or subjects can sometimes make for great photographs. I especially enjoy the texture of the mud puddle and of the rocks.

In the Begining

I'm fascinated by all things light. How to capture it, how to re-create it, how to save it and share it in a way that others may be fascinated by it as well. As such I've decided to start this blog documenting my explorations of one of the least understood phenomenon in our universe... light.

Main interests/topics I will discuss in this blog are:

1. Photography
2. Computer Graphics / 3D Rendering / Animation
3. Graphic design and the fine arts.

These interests shall not be confused with my main priorities which are:

1. My Family
2. My Faith
3. Education

The image is a test from the Maxwell Render Engine. I installed Maxwell a few days ago and have been learning how this un-biased render engine works. Learn more about Maxwell here:

Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light?
