1st post ... and a safe rainbow

So this is my first post. Welcome to my blog. I hope you will find it worth your while as it develops.
I am a photojournalist for The Salt Lake Tribune in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I have started this blog to share some of the sights and sounds that come with that experience.
I am also planning to include more than what I witness in the course of my job. Maybe this will get me off my ass to actually start shooting for myself again. Something I have rarely done in years.
A rainbow - something I pass by all the time without even thinking twice about. They happen all the time, right?
Recently I was traveling back to Salt Lake City through Utah County after covering a mudslide that closed Highway 6 near Price. As I exited Spanish Fork Canyon I caught a bright hue out of the corner of my eye to north. At first I didn't thing much of it but the more I drove closer to getting onto the interstate I thought about the scene taking place next to me. Still hesitant, I kept looking out the window trying to find a major flaw in the design of the bow that would give me an excuse not to pull over and shoot it. The more I looked and drifted in and out of my lane, I couldn't come up with a reason not to shoot it. So just before I was about to merge onto the interstate I flipped a U-turn in afternoon traffic and raced to find a good angle to shoot it from.
All of sudden I was racing through side streets towards Springville looking for a clean background and a view without power lines.
Something I was so ready to pass up had just become a purpose.
I finally found myself walking through a horse pasture that was surrounded by homes. I shot a few frames, enjoyed the sight and walked away having shot something for myself. Yeah, a rainbow. It's a start.
