A word from the Author - Jarvie
One of the more sad events of 2009 for me involves Trent.
He was a keynote speaker at PhotoCamp Utah.
I was prepping a presentation for after his and so I sadly was not able to see the presentation, and it makes me sad.
Everyone talked about it and loved it, so I know I missed something special.
This post focuses on his sports photography which he does a lot of. But of course he does so much more working for the paper.
He's a really neat guy, we get along well.
He's also a guy after my own heart having way too many projects and websites... Just Like ME! haha
