So yesterday I went on another adventure on my Florida vacation! My dad has gotten into kayaking over the last couple years, so we loaded up the kayaks and drove north to Crystal River. The river is spring fed, and has perfectly clear water at the main spring sources. The water that comes out is...
I was invited by my friends from Something Underground to hang out backstage and shoot some photos for Peace and Love on the Rocks. There were a bajilliion musicians there rotating in and out, covering favorite songs from the famous music festival of old. It like rocked and stuff. You can see more photos from...
Here is one last shot from my plane ride above Boulder. It’s a simple shot of the Flatirons, but hey, everyone loves the Flatirons.Plus you can see the University of Colorado Boulder campus with all of the red roof buildings.
Sometimes I get asked if I ever shoot pet portrait photography. Officially, the answer is no, I’ve never been hired for a paid dog or cat portrait gig. But that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t! I’m just not really sure that a viable, paying market exists for high quality scenic shots. One would think that...
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...
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....
The world of digital photography is an interesting blend of art, classical and contemporary photography techniques, and straight up computer nerdiness. In today’s digital age it is imperative to stay on top of all of the latest software updates to keep one’s photography at the top of the game. For better or worse, I have...
The Bolder Boulder has been a Memorial Day tradition in Boulder for 30 years. This year 50,000 people came to run a 10K race through town. The start is close enough to my house that I can hear the starter from inside, but I’ve never managed to get out of bed in time to see...
Last year I decided to switch from Canon to Nikon. Switching and upgrading the level of my cameras and lenses was quite expensive, so I made a few decisions to try and cut costs. One of those decisions was to try and shoot a prime lens instead of a zoom in the telephoto range. So...
We were eating lunch in between photo sessions down in Denver when I saw some kids riding urban assault bikes in the local shopping center. So I had one of them bunnyhop me for your viewing pleasure. <A HREF=”http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fstezpho-20%2F8001%2F8b69131b-7c80-4f9e-b56b-0f57807f34b7&Operation=NoScript” mce_HREF=”http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fstezpho-20%2F8001%2F8b69131b-7c80-4f9e-b56b-0f57807f34b7&Operation=NoScript”>Amazon.com Widgets</A>
On my trip back East, there were two distinct parts. The first was family time in PA. The second half was NJ and NY. My grandmother lives a train ride away from the city, so I stayed there and took a trip to NY. I went to Manhattan for a day. I didn’t want to...
I’m always following the weather during the winter, tracking the big storms that yield glorious dumps of fluffy powder. I wasn’t able to get away too much this year, just too much business stuff combined with a pretty dry winter. Well the storms finally showed up in late March and early April, and I was...
For the third class of body form photography, we shot with a single strobe with a soft box. We warmed up with some long exposure shots using just the modeling light. Then on to some strobe shots in the black room. But then we moved to the white room. I enjoyed this high key setup...
This is the second installment of photos from my nude body study of light and shadows. This week we used 1 or two constant light sources. There were no modifiers used to soften the light, thereby producing very dramatic light and shadows.
I finally was able to break away from the photo biz for a midweek powder day at Abasin. I wanted to make sure and punish myself for my lack of exercise routine this winter so I decided to telemark ski. It was my first real tele day since February 1, 2007. Yes, I’m already sore....
