So, as you probably can see, I like taking nature photos when I’m wandering around in the local woods around Boulder. It can be challenging to come up with creative ways to take new photos every time, when the surroundings appear to be the same. In the foothills of Boulder, we really don’t have too...
Right at the edge of town, Boulder has it’s own mini Red Rocks. A short hike from Settler’s Park, the Red Rocks Trail is a short hike around this rock outcropping that juts up skyward.
Last week I did a fun shoot that is a little out of the ordinary for me. I took my friend Jeff up on an offer to shoot an unusual plane from the air. Jeff’s friend Michael Malocsay hand built himself a Rutan VariEze experimental aircraft and comes into Boulder every so often to fly...
On my first day in Steamboat I did a local ride straight out of town. The thunderstorms were threatening, and I needed to get a quick little ride in before the skies opened up. So I headed to the base of Howelsen Hill, and started climbing the rod up to Emerald Mountain. There is a...
I love the sunrises in Boulder. Being the night person that I am, I rarely get to see it. A powder day is one of the few things that get me up early enough. These pics were taken last Thurs, on my way out of town for a mini vacation. I hadn’t made very good...
Eight million people have published shots of the Flatirons as viewed from Chautauqua Park in Boulder. Now there are eight million and one. I tried to make mine a little interesting in Photoshop. Oh, and I officially now know how to spell Chautauqua without looking it up.
I headed out on a pretty big ride this Sunday. It wasn’t actually *in* the Indian Peaks Wilderness, because that of course would be illegal, and we all know that that would never happen. These shots were just above Yankee Doodle Lake, with a nice view of the peaks in the background.
I think I’ve said this like a bajillion times, but I’ve been working on the computer a lot. I’ve been doing some cool stuff though. Almost as cool as railing pristine mountain singletrack with fresh legs and new tires. Mmmmm . . . singletrack.
Messing around with the photo below motivated me to finish off some unfinished business. I’m posting the pictures from our October mountain bike trip down to Colorado Springs. Four months late, I know, it’s a little sad. But on the other hand, I now have some fresh bike related content! It is going to be...
I’ve used this picture on this blog before, but just pretend that you haven’t seen it. This is sunrise at Canyonlands Island In The Sky District on my trip to Moab this past October. These desert landforms symbolize the Old West to me. I love the colors in this photo, the depth, the shadows, and...
I still have a hard drive full of pictures from that Utah trip in October. Hopefully I will make a gallery soon, but in the meantime . . . here is a picture of a man and his dog walking into the hoodoos of Goblin Valley. This is one of the few shots that I...
OK well, the Bender Zion Huckfest didn’t happen. His suspension was blown on his Dare, and I’m not allowed to take pictures of him riding any other bike since he is a sponsored rider. So I decided not to drive all the way across the state to not take pictures of trails that I wouldn’t...
I’m back at Mondo in Moab after a couple days in the isolation of Indian Creek and Canyonlands. I noticed while downloading my pictures this afternoon that I shot my 10,000th picture this morning using my Canon 20D. Fitting that it happened here, since I shot picture number one here exactly a year ago. I’ve...
Hey howdy, it is Monday morning and I’m writing from Mondo Cafe in Moab. A quicky trip update so far and a couple teaser pics for ya here. It has been nonstop action so far this trip. I rolled out of Boulder Weds morning bright and early to try to catch my first powder day...
On Weds morning I was riding my bike down to Amante at dawn to watch the Tour. The sunrise illuminated the Flatirons with rust overtones and the full moon was stunning. It was one of those many ‘Damn, I wish I had my camera’ moments. Today (Thurs) I tried to recreate the scene, but for...
