Skriker- A Rowland Hall St. Marks High School Production
A couple of weeks ago I was asked to photograph a play put on by the High School students of Rowland Hall St. Marks School. It was called Skriker. It's a story about a group of fairies that live in "the underground" because no one believes in them anymore. They are called changelings because they can change into different people. They try to convince a human to come with them to their underworld so that humans might believe in them again. I had a lot of fun photographing this play and was entertained at the same time.

HUGE VICTORY FOR UTAH CATS AND DOGS!!!
I Have been waiting for the better part of 10 years for animal abuse and torture to be a felony in Utah and this week the bill was finally passed! Woo Hoo!!! As most people know, I had wanted to be a Veterinarian most my life and I worked as a Vet Tech for almost 6 years.
The downfall is that the bill only covers cats and dogs so the rest of the animals are still only prosecuted as Misdemeanors (Is that spelled right?), but if someone is convicted of animal abuse/torture, its a felony on the very first offense. There is also protection for Veterinarians who turn in a person for animal abuse. There are now only 6 other states that have yet to make animal abuse a felony offense.
The very cool thing is that today, while at Judge High School's baseball practice, I met a man named Dave (I wish I remembered his last name) and we got to talking about the bill. He looked at us and said "Yeah, that was my bill". I know I sound like a geek, but I got to actually meet the man that made it all happen! I wish I would have given him a big hug, but I did tell him I loved him and Thank You!

NOT, sleeping beauty...
Even though she is only 2 weeks old, despite our best efforts, we could not get this little girl to sleep. We wanted to get some really cute sleeping baby photos, but she had another idea and the only time she slept was when mom fed her. The second we started trying to take more photos, her eyes were wide open. Hey, at least we got a couple.
