No idle hands shall his wrists be attached to. New Zealand is a crazy distance from Utah in both distance and culture and I can't wait to explore Auckland in the wake of Jakes artistic expression. He drives like shit though. Jake’s just plain talented.

My wife and I recently relocated to SLC from Buffalo, NY and we have been looking for a good blog-source of happenings and events but until today were not satisfied with what we found. Back at home there exists a comprehensive Buffalo, NY blog called Buffalo Rising (http://www.buffalorising.com/ - disclaimer, I was a semi-regular contributor) and we found its varied subject matter (events, politics, local happenings, etc.) informative and interesting and we're glad to have found something similar here in your blog. Thanks, - mike (p.s. I found your blog by way of JP Jesperson's beautiful photography web sites) As an aside, thank you Les for producing this informative blog (I apologise for posting this here but I could not find a link to your e-mail address).

He is in no way confined to the pressures of trying to be marketable and yet always seems to find great venues for expressing himself. If you ever meet his wife Jeni and see the two of them together you know at once that her creativity fuels his and visa versa. Can't wait to see what this experience in New Zealand will produce!
