Yesterday was the first ever formal race day at Valmont Bike Park. There were XC races, dual slalom races, and the Colorado State Slopestyle Championships. I brought out the lighting kit and snapped some shots of competitors hitting the big “whale tail” ramp. Here are some highlights; I have a full set posted on my...
I intended to get this post finished before my departure to the Grand Canyon! Well, it didn’t happen. These buildings are super cool! Built in 1794 out of adobe, they are still inhabited by people today. They are just off of the Sante Fe trail in New Mexico. I will finish this post after my...
For Slideshow: CLICK PLAY BUTTON After a break, I’m back to finish up the final post from my Great American Road Trip! On the road from San Antonio to Colorado, my mission was to find some solid mountain biking in Texas and New Mexico. I use satellite images to look at the topography for potential...
My previous blog post left off with my quick trip through Big Bend National Park. There was no time for delay, as I was prioritizing getting a mountain bike ride in on this day. My first intention was to ride the Contrabando Mountain Bike Trails in Big Bend State Park. But, everything seems to take...
As I drove further into Texas, the weather took a turn for the worse. My visit to Austin was a total monsoon washout! So no photos from that part of the journey. The next stop was San Antonio, for the 2011 Digital Wedding Forum Convention and the Professional Photographers of America annual trade show Imaging...
Upon my arrival in Texas I made a quick stop over in Houston and hung out with DWF friend Jesus Tirso. The next day I journeyed on to Austin. I got a tip to stop at the town of Round Top to have some lunch at Royers Round Top Cafe and have some buttermilk pie....
Crossing the bridge from Louisiana in Texas was like crossing into another world. It was a cold, overcast and dreary day to begin with. The landscape was like some post-apocalyptic Gotham City. I whipped out the camera and snapped a couple shots from the car. This was my first trip to Texas. When in the...
Color photos of nature, landscapes, structures from a winter road trip across southern Louisiana. Ferry ride, bridge, moss covered tree, shrimp boat.
After yesterday’s philosophic, artistic, and thoughtful post, we return to our regularly scheduled randomness! I was hanging around the house, when I decided to play with the stroboscopic mode on my Nikon SB-900 flash. It’s always a function that I’ve been meaning to play with . . . you know, procrastinating, procrastinating, someday I will...
Life is like learning to ride a wheelie. There are many things in life that we wish that we could do, or that we could do better. I’ve always wanted to learn to ride a wheelie, ever since I was a little BMX punk in the 80s. Why didn’t I know how? Simple. I never...
Now that I’m taking a break from working like a crazy person, I am inspired to post some of the random photos that I take in daily life.
Today I bid farewell to the Steve Z Photography studio for a full month! Every year I try and take a nice break somewhere warm over the holidays. This year I’m taking a big ol’ Great American Road Trip old school style! I intend to wake up the personal blog with some fun photos, so...
I’m back after a little personal blog haitus with some Halloween fun time photos! September/October was busy busy busy season for me, but here are some pics from a costume roller skate party to liven things up! Every so often, a crew of mostly Boulderites rally together and make a big trek to East Denver,...
Well it’s been a little while since I’ve posted any personal stuff here. September has been super crazy and I’ve been a blogging machine with my paid work. Well I took a couple days off when I flew to my Cape Cod wedding last weekend. The perfect opportunity for some street photography. I had one...
I haven’t gone out of my way to take pictures of the Four Mile Canyon Fire in Boulder. There are so many amazing and terrible image out there on the web, I haven’t felt the need. However, on the first day, I did climb on my room to snap some shots near sunset. So terrible....
When I’m done slidin’, and I’m feelin’ cold and tired, it’s good to warm my bones beside the fire.
A large chunk of the crew recently moved into a big house out in East Boulder. At the housewarming party my friends at Green Guru brought out a big stash of their vinyl supply to make a giant slip and slide! I lent my photo skills to capture some of the water sprayin’ body flingin’...
Here we are with my final Telluride post. I’m going to have to find some local fun to keep this blog going over the next month! River and I took a little drive out of town to the micro-town of Ophir. I was quite excited to find some trashed out buildings to play in. The...
Telluride is full of all sorts of marvlicious randomness. And you know how I love to take photos of randomness! About a block from the gondola in town is a house, with a fence made of skis, and a pile of random junk lying in the yard. And amongst the random junk is a mid...
I got hooked up with some luxury accommodations in Telluride at the Camel’s Garden Hotel by virtue of River’s friendship with the owner. A fine art aficionado, Michael has some cool art in and around the premises. The post started with my fixation on the hotel lamp. The below shot I call, The Flux Capacitor....
