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...

Photo Workshop in Evergreen this week
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...
Fall is still holding on
Back in October when we had a string of 65 degree days I kept saying, “well this is going to be the last one . . . ” Well it is nearly Thanksgiving and the warm days keep coming and the snow does not. Tomorrow’s forecast is for 67 degrees, sunny, and light...
Boulder Cup Cyclocross Photos
I went and checked out the Boulder Cup pro cyclo-cross races at Boulder Reservoir and South Boulder Rec the weekend before last. I’ve shot a few pics the first day and none the second; I’ve been way too busy to add extra workflow to my life for fun. So busy in fact, that I forgot...
Ending the Ned Season where it began . . . with snow
After a full day of beautiful weather and VeloSwapping on Saturday, I figured I had to get back up to Ned for a mountain bike ride before it’s too late. Well it wasn’t nearly as warm as I had hoped; the high was 50 and the wind was brisk. All the leaves are long gone,...
Out of the office and into the Foliage
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...
Leftover Bikinis – Part 1
As promised, I’m digging out some unedited content from the archives. Back by popular demand, pictures of girls. Hopefully soon to be followed by pictures of bikes. It sure is nice outside. I have 2 distinctly different flavors of photos, so I’ll break them into two different posts. Which do you get first? Arty and...
Mountain Biking the Swan River to Georgia Pass Section of the Colorado Trail to Celebrate My Leaving the Cube Anniversary
While most of you were enjoying a three day weekend, I was working my butt off and shooting two weddings! Lucky for me I like shooting weddings . . . ;>) . . . and even luckier still the second one was up in Keystone. So I splurged on a resort hotel room for myself...
Boulder Colorado Mountain Landscapes: Snow in August!
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...
Mountain Biking in the Indian Peaks Wilderness
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.
We now return to our irregularly scheduled mountain bike ride
I told myself at the beginning of the mountain bike season that I was going to ride one during the week and once on the weekend. Well, that hasn’t worked out so well. I haven’t even been able to squeeze in a weekend ride the last couple weeks.
But not today damnit! Scott sent...
Buffalo Creek Mountain Biking with Dads With A Fathers Day Hall Pass
My goal is to go mountain biking twice a week. I’ve been failing! I can’t complain too much because the photo biz is keeping me super busy midweek. So I’m a Sunday rider and this week we traveled down to Buffalo Creek for some classic Colorado buff singletrack.
Some of the terrain in the...
Da Hood
I needed to do some testing of my 28mm 1.8 lens so I took some pictures out at the park by my house. They weren’t very exciting, so I tweaked them out in Adobe Camera Raw. The Buddha was there.
Denver Colorado Environmental Business Portrait Shoot
One byproduct of all this crazy Colorado spring weather has been lots of cool clouds to shoot under. Last week I woke up early one morning to notice a cool, moody overcast sky. I was itching to overpower the sun with some of my Strobist gear so I tried rounding up a model at the...
I flew a plane today
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....
Duelling Bianchi Rita Singlespeeds at Heil Ranch – First ride of the year!
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...
Wedding Engagement Photography in Boulder Colorado
Here are some engagement photos I took last month when the fall colors were still in full force. I think the color is a nice contrast to the driving white snow that is outside my window right now. Heather and Jim are going to have their wedding ceremony and reception next year at...
I sleep with the blinds open
Lots of people need their bedroom to be pitch black in order to sleep. For me, it doesn’t really matter. I’ve trained myself to sleep with the blinds open. I feel it aids my renowned napping skills to be able to sleep with the sunlight streaming in.
As a photographer, my senses have...
Nature Photography – Sunset at the Boulder Reservior
I took some time to enjoy the sunset today. I missed all of the great ones we had last week because I was too busy working working working. But today I’m wrapping up a few days of mental relaxation.
The pointy hill on the right is Sugarloaf. I can almost see Paul’s house....
Denver Street Photography: 7 images in 11 minutes
I’ve had a strange attraction to Cherry Creek this year. Considering that I’d never been there before this year, I’ve been drawn there a noteworthy amount. I was taking a seminar there a couple weeks ago, and we regularly got 15 minute breaks. On Saturday I was quoted as saying, “It’s hard...
