It was incredible to see Delicate Arch in person for the first time, but my sister had a much tougher go of things. She and my brother-in-law weren't too interested in getting their picture taken in the shadow of nature's immaculate beauty, and a few days later, I learned that she was in the early stages of her first pregnancy (which they announced on a memorable afternoon with some custom fortune cookies). Though this particular moment might have been a bit awkward, the joy it foreshadowed makes this one of my most cherished images.
The 4.01K was one of the strangest events I've ever photographed, which of course meant it delivered some of the best pictures. It's a footrace between Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City and the fountain at the Gateway Mall that requires participants to wear business attire (hence, 4.01K, get it?). I shot the event two years in a row, and especially enjoyed this celebratory image from the 2010 race.
