The Other Blog? Other than What?

I'm Steve Z and I'm a professional photographer living in Boulder, Colorado.  I have another website/blog where I post my professional work, it can be found by clicking the 'Professional Websites' link in the upper left. 

This site is a place where I post all the "other" random photos that I take for fun.  I keep the two seperate because I want to keep only my best work on my pro sites.  But sometimes there are images that I enjoy and would like to publish that didn't quite 'make the cut'.  It's like the B-side of an album!

There are 977,349 better blogs than mine

My blog is registered with Technorati, which is a blog rating, browsing, data collecting website. I’m currently ranked 977,350th. I’m having trouble celebrating breaking into the top million. Maybe I should start blogging about Paris Hilton or Brittney Spears? I’ll check my ranking tomorrow, maybe just mentioning those names will bring me up another couple thousand points.

If you have a blog or website, LINK TO ME! I’m dying of mediocrity here. Screw this, I’m going on a ride.

Daily Photo - But I LOVE spinning donuts!

Anyone spinning donuts will be prosecutied

This pic was taken at the Boulder Reservoir. It struck me as funny. I wonder what the actual legal crime is … destruction of property maybe?

Damn this is cool. A behind the scenes look at an A-list photographer at work.

Where for art thou Blogger?

Hi, my name is Steve, remember me?  I used to blog here every day, up until a few weeks ago.  Things got seriously crazy at the end of May and I was blessed/cursed with a lot of work to do.  I shot two weddings, went to Aspen for 5 days, got a job shooting kids sports, have been doing bike repairs out of my garage, doing bicycle engineering consulting, and celebrating my birthday.  Plus the Tour of Italy is going on right now.  I still have a lot of photo editing to catch up on, but I will try and post some of the pics here on the site.

The good news is my photography career is really starting to take off.  The bad news is that when I get busy the blog is awfully easy to procrastinate.  I’ll take some pics on the cruiser ride tonight to try and make it up to you.

Daily Photo - Government Efficiency

I got a parking ticket at the JeffCo Dinosaur Lots the day of the Ski Jam. I was pretty annoyed, since half of the lots are closed for construction and all the spots were taken. It’s not like you really have much choice if you had predetermined that your group was carpooling from that location.

Anyway, I’ve been trying to implement the teachings of The Secret and The Law Of Attraction to bring more wealth into my life. I can see this work is paying off, as I just got an unexpected check! Hopefully I can work on the magnitude a bit in the coming months.

How ’bout the 32.6 cents they spent on that postage?

Ridiculously Small Government Refund Check

Steve-Z.com is now Technorati compatible

I’m slowly but surely making technology updates here.  I just signed this blog up at Technorati, which is a blog tracking and linking site.  We’ll see if it increases my traffic here at all.  If you read this and are a blogger on Technorati, add me to your favorites please!

Cool video of the fastest production car.  This Bugatti has 16 cylinders, 4 turbos, 10 radiators, and 1001hp.  VIDEO LINK

Frozen Dead Guy Days

The primary mountain town in the hills above Boulder is Nederland.  Up there, packed in dry ice, is a dead guy.  His name is Grandpa, and they keep him in the shed.  There is a weekend long town festival every year celebrating this.  Pretty silly.  Additional silliness includes the Blue Ball with Grandpa look alike contest, a parade, and coffin races.  I’m thinking about heading up and shooting some pics tomorrow.  Frozen Dead Guy Days Web Site
