Sometimes when shooting a wedding, there is a little bit of down time during dinner. The hotel interior of the Omni Interlocken Hotel has some cool architecture. Chad and I had a good time taking some fun photos. Chad on the lens, me on the landing.
Awesome Wood Textures
While taking a food break on my last Boulder mountain bike ride, I noticed the unique wood texture on the trees. The bark is peeling off and looks like puzzle pieces.
Me. Launching.
OK, I’m long overdue updating this site. I’ve got some new employees that have been keeping me busy doing ‘real’ work. But I’m here in Steamboat taking more mountain biking photos, so I really have to get these old pics off the camera. 2 Sunday’s ago, Ryan and I rode the Ceran St. Vrain trail up to Miller’s rock. On the singletrack on the way out, there is an angled rock that is perfect for launching. Getting the timing right for action shots with the Canon G10 is tough, but sometimes you wind up with an interesting composition. In this case, it’s me with my head cut off.
Coming to Denver – Flash Photography workshop with Neil Van Niekerk
My buddy Neil Van Niekerk is coming to Denver on August 18th to do a workshop on state-of-the-art flash photography techniques. This is an amazing opportunity and space is limited: head over to Planet Neil for more information about the workshop, dates, and how to sign up.
I did a great shoot this past April in New Jersey with Neil. It was set in the Paterson Historical Museum, and the modeling was done by Priscilla.
Running On heART: 13 Cities in 7 Days!
So I was walking down the street a block from my studio, and I stumbled upon a mobile art happening. There was a crowd of people gathered around a car, and they were all painting it. This of course, required immediate picture taking. Upon a little inspection, here is what I found out.
The GIVING GALLERY Presents:
Running On heART: 13 Cities in 7 Days!
A cross country journey raising awareness and funds for struggling open art studios in our communities
In order to raise awareness for Open Art Studios and spread the word about their power to bring community members together we have decided to turn a car into a national community art project.
Cool!
For more information on the project, the journey, and the fun:

Happy Thursday Cruiser Ride
I brought the camera along for last week’s Boulder Cruiser Ride. Our faction began from the Green Guru Headquarters in Northeast Boulder. Ryan Van Duzer was in prime form for some cruising action!
One of the side benefits of that start location is the proximity to the 303 Vodka distillery. It is directly next door. I sampled a sample straight out of the beaker. Local, gluten free, and so smooth!
This was the debut of Ryan’s new Phase One music machine. I’ll take a picture of that after the finishing trim is put on it. We headed south to a brand new acoustically superior location to test it out. It was a gorgeous evening despite reports of inclement weather. We wore wigs to keep our heads warm.
I was sporting a pair of Sergio Valente jeans. Yes, they are originals. Sergio Valente is my porn name.
Did I say it was a beautiful night? Yes, I think I did. I have pictures for proof.
We cruised through campus, circling all three Buffaloes.
As night fell, we descended upon the downtown area via the famous Ho Chi Minh Trail, picking up more cruisers along the way. Zack Giffen was in town and rocking out the swing bike.
I didn’t have a flash, and the pictures became increasingly abstract. Join us next week, we’ll be meeting once again at Green Guru, although that won’t be our permanent starting location. To keep up with our latest start location, visit the “Happy Thursday” group on Facebook!
