Here I am on the ski lift at Copper Mountain for Opening Day 2009! I think this is my first Colorado opening day, as I’m not usually a fan of battling the crowds on the Ribbon of Death! But, my friend Doug from Elevation Outdoors scored us some tickets, so I thought it would be...
I found this skeleton hanging on the fence at Lost Antler Ranch. I’m not sure what animal it is . . . I’m guessing that it’s an elk?
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.
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...
Last Friday I went for another plane ride with Barnow. This was an intentional joyride this time. We had special plans to take aerial photos of a special plane. More on that in an upcoming post! On our ascent we passed by a hot air balloon floating over the Boulder Reservoir. I hadn’t really given...
Last weekend Ryan and I headed out on a mountain biking road trip. It had been WAY too long since my last one, I think it was the 2006 Colorado Springs trip. We decided to check out Durango, since neither of us really knows anyone who has ridden in the area. Durango was at one...
We woke up on Monday to some snow in Colorado . . . AGAIN! Chad and I headed up to Evergreen for the Shoot With Beckstead workshop. Four days of classroom and on location shooting with models. I think I’ll post the images from the workshop on The Light Side, since they are looking REALLY...
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...
I did it. I broke the seal. I finally got my ass out of the office and up into the mountains for some snow sliding! I almost didn’t think I was going to make it before the new year. But I did. It was a Christmas Eve solo mission. With complete confidence in my abilities,...
It has been an extraordinary week. I thank those who have appreciated and commented on my recent post. I want to keep things moving forward . . . This is my first image that I’ve ever shot with a Nikon lens! I’m going to give Nikon a shot since I have been unhappy with the...
I originally posted these pictures as part of a pictorial blog post, without many words. Originally I felt that each picture told a thousand words, as they say, so I let the pictures do the talking. Since Tuesday, the story of these pictures has evolved, so I have included them again in a new post....
My staunch work ethic finally crumbled this week. People who know me wondered, “how long can you keep this up?” I kept it up until Thursday. Glorious Thursday, when editing be damned, I had to get out onto the trails and out in the glorious fall weather. I knew the leaves were turning up there....
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 was heading down to that fashion show and there was a break in the weather. The storm that brought three and a half inches of rain to Boulder also left a blanket of snow on the mountain peaks above 10000 feet. If I was ambitious I could have gone up and gotten some powder...
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.
Last weekend Ryan and I took team Bianchi Rita down to Jeffco for my first long ride of the year. The weather was perfect and the crowds weren’t too bad either. It felt really good to get away from the office and take a normal weekend day off! We rode pretty hard and got a...
I was just sitting in my office today trying to get some work done like a good boy when I got the call. Barnow and I have been talking about going flying for a year now. I considered declining . . . but I figured that I shouldn’t let another year go by. There is...
Wadda Ta my Dillies?!? This past Saturday I awoke with a fairly significant sore throat. Bummer. It’s Ski Jam Day! So what’s a guy to do? Well, if you are me then you suck it up, put on The Cosby Sweater, drown the scratchiness with adult beverages, and keep on shootin’. I was pretty much...
Spring is officially here and yesterday I dusted off the singlespeed for the first ride of the year. I was going to do a quick road ride, as my geared bike is in pieces. But Ryan called and convinced me that riding a singlespeed for the first ride of the year is the only way...
