I came across the web diary entries of a 21 year old kid who is going to ride around the country on a bike. His entries are pretty funny. The trip is called ‘Around the United States on a Budget’, and he basically has no money and very minimal gear. He comes off as naive,...

No, I’m not back in some warm tropical locale, I’m just pretending. I still have a lot of the photos that I took on my trip to Florida yet to edit. I’m intentionally spacing out the warm weather photos. Like Homer would say, “Mmmmmmm, bikinis.” Or something like that. I did this shoot right after...
Well it’s a Purple Martini week here on the blog. Last week I attended a business networking event with a friendlier drive at the Purple Martini in Boulder. As a matter of fact, I just remembered that I won a bar tab there . . . what the heck did I do with that coupon?...
The Purple Martini nightclub hosted a Flair Bartending Comptetion at their DTC establishment and they hired yours truly to come down and document the action. I had never actually heard of Flair before, but as a juggler I was intrigued. I even had a go with the practice plastic bottles! I can do 3 OK,...
Three weeks in Florida completely ruined me. Somehow I’ve regressed to some kind of cold weather wimp. It hasn’t been snowing in the mountains much and it’s been butt cold here in town. I miss the beach. Who is going to fly me to a tropical location to photograph their wedding or event?
BMA’s Third Annual Gala Banquet February 8, 2008 St Julien Hotel This event sold out the last two years, so put it on your calendar, and get your tickets early! Once a year, the BMA crew puts on their finest threads and gathers in the finest room they can find with City Council members, County...
If you read this blog then you’ve probably seen my pictures from the Integrated Alliances Holiday parties. I’ve met a lot of great contacts at these events and am continuing to be a part of their social network. I attended and photographed their January First Wednesday Networking event at Mattie’s House Of Mirrors in LoDo...
I’m still catching up with all of the photo shoots that I did while I was down in Florida. I’m almost through with 2007, can I get a ‘Hell Yeah’? These pictures were taken at Fort Desoto which is at the very southern tip of the St. Petersburg peninsula. This day was so damn cold....
While I was down in Key West I checked out the Butterfly and Nature Conservancy. It was really amazing. There is a greenhouse and it is FILLED with butterflies. They are everywhere, and you can get right up on them with your 100mm 2.8 Macro :>) And no, the first image in the slideshow is...
This is really cool. I’ve seen tests before, but they have always involved questions and answers, and I’ve never taken the time to complete one. This test is as simple as looking at a picture. CLICK HERE to go check out the image. I’ve always wondered if I was left or right brained. Because of...
The Snow Bird. Usage of the word is often intended to be derogatory. After 3 weeks of mostly perfect 70 degree weather in flip flops and sand in the toes, I’m growing sympathetic. I found myself playing with the cell phone camera a little more than i usually do. I realized today that I had...
Hi Everyone, I’m back in town after 3 weeks in Florida. This past weekend was spent at the Digital Wedding Forum Convention. What an amazing experience. So many good lectures and great people there; there wasn’t any extra time for sleep let alone blogging. I’m back in the office trying to catch up with a...
One of the great things about going on vacation is that you put yourself in an entirely new space. Different surroundings and activities are great ways to stimulate creativity. Sometimes I can get creatively stuck in the home office, going about my daily routines. When I’m at home I never sit around and do nothing....
Happy New Year from Steve Z Photography! I rang in the New Year down in Key West, where I took some pictures of the debauchery down on Duval Street. Above is the scene in front of Sloppy Joes Bar, where we counted down and watched the Conch Drop! Yes, the scene truly was … Sloppy....
