Hot spots flare up near a rock formation as the Pole Creek Fire burns Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018, near Nebo Loop Road in northern Juab County. Started by a lightning strike on Sept. 6, the Pole Creek Fire had burned an estimated 400 acres by Sept. 12, and grew to approximately 20,000 acres by the end of the following day.
September may have been the most hectic month
I've experienced while at the Daily Herald.
For good reason - so much happened
last month. Two wildfires threatened to burned over 120,000 acres and
threatened to destroy two cities in southern Utah County, Brigham Young
University football started up (and the team rose to No. 25 then No. 20 nationally), high school sports have been well underway and FanX (which is
essentially Utah's Comic Con) came through Salt Lake City, among other things.
My boss Evan sent me out
to photograph the then slowly-growing Pole Creek Fire on a Wednesday when it
had burned 400 acres on the edge of southern Utah County. The wildfire had
hovered around 75 acres for a few days and only began to pick up slowly the day
I ventured along the Mount Nebo Scenic Byway. I had recently finished
photographing another wildfire – the Cole Hollow Fire (for a Monday Close-Up I
did on ranchers rescuing cattle from that fire, look here: provodh.com/qmsqm )
– and we had no idea if this new fire would amount to anything.
Things began to dramatically
change fast the next morning. The fire jumped from 400 acres to more than 4,000
acres by 9 a.m. and exploded to roughly 20,000 acres by the end of the day. Two
cities were evacuated on Sept. 13 along with rural communities as the wildfire
(which joined with another, smaller wildfire) came within half a mile of homes
at one point. The Pole Creek and Bald Mountain wildfires were listed as the No. 1 priority wildfires in the country at one point. Strong winds and dry weather caused the wildfire to eventually
burn 120,500 acres - and the fires are still burning today (although the blazes
are 76% and 65% contained). Residents of the two evacuated cities were able to return home on Sept. 22,
however were warned that they could be re-evacuated if the wildfires once again
endanger homes. The image above and the 12 following below are an edit from my time covering the wildfires. To see a timeline of the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires, look here: https://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/south/timeline-a-look-at-the-progression-of-the-pole-creek/article_8429dd2c-41f1-5952-9df4-ea1d60776522.html.
For the nine days the
wildfires spread throughout southern Utah County, myself and my boss, Evan,
were essentially doing around-the-clock coverage of the fire. Whenever we had a
free moment, we were down near the fires. We both still had to find time to
cover other stories, but thankfully the Daily Herald threw itself into covering
the fires in a big way. Practically everyone on the staff contributed to
coverage, and many hours of overtime were incurred. However, the most rewarding
part of the coverage for me personally was hearing from several different
locals about how happy they were the Daily Herald was providing numerous
updates on the wildfires. It was truly an amazing feeling – among the best I've
felt in my time working as a photojournalist – to provide coverage that
genuinely helped keep people informed at a time of crisis. Throughout the
newspaper's coverage I felt a deep sense of pride to work for a local
newspaper, and I'm damn proud of the service the entire Daily Herald provided
the people of Utah County.

"We find the goats enhance both of those reasonings.” Sessions last 60 minutes: 40 minutes of yoga and 20 minutes to interact with the baby goats.
Summertime is beginning to wind down, school's back in session and things are getting more busy around Utah County.
August was chock-full of things. A wildfire was sparked, burned 30,000 acres and is still active as of now, the Utah County Fair rolled back through town, football and other high school fall sports kicked off, and several stand-alone assignments kept me busy writing when I wasn't shooting pictures. More than recent months, the hectic schedule of the past month has made it more difficult to slow down and evaluate my pictures as I pump out assignments. However, these monthly blogs are always a good way of looking back and seeing what direction I've been heading lately, and trying to think of new approaches to take while on assignment.
Besides daily assignments, I am currently finishing up a short Monday Close-Up on a family effected by the Coal Hollow Fire (the fire mentioned above), getting things together for my next Monday Close-Up and finding time here and there to continue shooting my longer-term rodeo project that I began a few months ago. Now begins my favorite time of the year (both seasonally and work-wise). August is over, and there's only 22 more days until fall. However, I'm a sucker for fall. I'm already eagerly awaiting days spent driving around the mountains with the windows down enjoying the fall colors, crisp evenings, haunted houses and indulging in apple cider and pumpkin spice lattes. (Could my love for fall be more cookie-cutter? haha)

July was event-full. (Get it? Full of events?)
Disregarding
the awful pun, July provided me with a happy helping of rodeos, concerts, a fireworks display and other general news events. Being July in America, there
was plenty of Americana to be photographed - especially considering this is
Utah. Utahans really, really love America (I'm not saying that's a bad thing,
just stating a personal observation.)
Amid
the typical American fanfare of July, I had some special opportunities this
month. The Los Angeles Times hired me to photograph a story about a ballot measure
Utah voters will consider to legalize medical marijuana in November. The story
centered around Brain Stoll, a West Jordan resident who uses opioids to treat
back and neck pain resulting from a severe accident in college that fractured his back and neck.
However, Stoll felt marijuana gave him better relief and less side effects than
prescription pills, but he had to end using marijuana a few years ago to remain
in good standing with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to marry
his then soon-to-be wife in a temple. The story also tackled the church's
relationship with the drug, usage of which is allowed by the church in states
where medical use is legalized. The story can be seen here: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-utah-mormons-marijuana-20180729-story.html.
For
my Monday Close-Up month, I focused on life-long metalworker Jim Smeltzer and
the organization for which he builds miniature, rideable locomotives and
railcars, the Utah Live Steamers Railroad Club. More from that story can be
seen here: provodh.com/5y2l7.
Finally,
I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some vacation time with my entire
immediate family at Seaside, Florida. My family hasn't been able to get
together (besides funerals and graduations) in roughly the past four years, so
it was wonderful to spend some true quality time with my siblings, their
significant others and my parents while working on my sun tan. The vacation
also gave me perspective on my life in Utah. I haven't been able to spend much
time outside of Utah, and doing so made me appreciate things about the Beehive
State that I hadn't thought of as much. I look forward to continue work at the
Daily Herald, and enjoying all the wonderful things Utah does have to offer.
