New Blog Site

I am moving my blog site to this address: www.nicholasdraney.com/blog. After this month, this blog address will be terminated. The reason for the move is to protect my intellectual property rights. Basically, if you use a google service such as blogger, the terms and conditions are such that they own ANY intellectual property posted on their services FOREVER. Even after termination of services they still keep and can distribute any and all photos, videos, etc., anywhere and to any company to which they are partners. So I decided to protect my self and my images by hosting my own blog. For now it is built using wordpress, but in the future I wish to create a flash based blog. Anyway, this new blog address will not change from here on out.

Thanks, and any links that were on this site have been updated on my new blog.

Cheers,
Nicholas

"Road trippin' with my 2 favorite allies…"

Julie's Birthday at the Paris (French Bistro in SLC)

Joyeux Anniversaire Juliette!

Oui, ce sont des escargots.

Aussi, j'ai mangé du canard.

Salt Flats '32 shoot

The Bayou

Silver Lake

Went for a drive up the canyon.

…and a walk.

Maiden Voyage

37 years in the making,

sometimes the end of a journey

is the start of a new one…


First stop: Texaco.

Gotta Black Magic Woman…

If I still lived in Salt Lake, I would be broke from eating at this joint. Straight up ridiculously good sushi. Zagats described Takashi's sushi as having a "Peruvian" flair because Takashi uses things like mango and chiles paired with yellowtail in their caribbean roll and lemon zest paired with sablefish in my fav roll, "black magic woman." JULIE couldn't even resist trying that roll which is significant considering she has NEVER eaten sushi before.

Oldie

I was going over old pics today trying to put together a decent portfolio for some upcoming internships and I found this image. It was from the prep week assignment for PHO 150.

Brew Co.

Went to the Brew Co. for some tasty treats and to watch the Pens lose to the Wings. (Bollocks).

Taos comes too…

Earl's Birthday Batman Bash

Monterey…

Start of new tradition(s).

More Earl of McLoone

Matt roughing it in Big Sur. (Sitting by the fire trying the internet on his iPhone).

Earl of McLoone

What Matt looks like while editing right now, and after I fixed Brett's new 5d settings.

Chapel, Mont St. Michel

Another one from France last summer.

Paris Rag-Time

I was going over pictures today for a project and I came across our Honeymoon photos. I forgot about these; Julie hadn't even seen some. Ireland kinda stole my focus last year.

Bubble

I was at the kitchen table editing photos while Julie was doing some dishes. All of the sudden this small little bubble floated across my field of vision. It made it around the kitchen before its tragic crash landing.
