*Updates*

October 19th, 2010
I got the opportunity to photograph my first large event last weekend! It was an end-of-the-year social for the alarm company APX. They had a luncheon in the afternoon, and a ball that evening. These photos can be found in my "Events" album.

I was in desperate need in updating my blog with photographs.... I now work at a waterfowl management area called Farmington Bay, and there are over 200 species of birds that go there year-round so I have a great opportunity to start photographing birds more often. I added quite a few to the "Birds" album, so check it out!
Also added some to "Large mammals" album from my Oregon Zoo trip, "Trees" with beautiful fall colors here in Utah, and "Flowers","Misc. Landscapes", and a frog in "Lizards and Amphibians" that I found at Farmington Bay. Enjoy!

This month I took a little trip to Oregon, and while I was there had the joy of taking family generation photos for my friend Danika's family (her one-year-old son Asher, her sister, her mom and grandmother). These photos are in the "Portraits" album.

August 1, 2010
I went to Yuba Lake, UT a couple days and got some pretty fun shots of wake-surfers and the moonlight and sunrise on the lake. Check them out!
New: "Sports" album - wake surfers and skiiers
"Portraits" album - wake surfer and back-flip
"Night Sky" album - moon over the lake with some crazy objects
"Lakes" album - boats on Yuba Lake at sunrise, and Yuba Lake in the day

Last weekend I hit up the Uinta Mountains in NE Utah and got some pretty cool shots of climbers and the mountains. Enjoy!
New: "Sports" album
"Misc. Landscapes" album

First blog entry: October 26, 2009:

Hello all! This is the first time I've gotten all of my photos onto something online where everyone can access them. They are here for you to enjoy, and if you are at all interested in purchasing any of them, email me, hollandbanks@gmail.com, and I'll be happy to provide you with a quote. Considering I'm a beginner at this, I am considerably cheap compared to other photographers you will find online! *I AM NOW AVAILABLE FOR BIG EVENTS!!! CONTACT ME IF YOU'RE INTERESTED**

If you want to find a catagory of photo (for example mountains), then look at the bottom under "blog archives" and click on "mountains". It will take you right to them. (Sorry they are not alphabetical. Blogger would not work with me on that ;) .)

Someday I hope to have my own website, a little more organized, but this will have to do until I can afford that!

Have a good day and check back often!
