And today is a gorgeous sunny day in Boulder. A great day to be outside . . . unfortunately I’ve got a SUPER busy week. I did step out for lunch and take a quick shot outside the office.

Angled Focal Plane
I finally found a breakfast burrito downtown that doesn’t have eggs in it. It’s at Two Spoons, which also has cool tables. And I got a free cup of hot chocolate.
It took me a while to get the angle of the focus plane just right. I like the line of focus from one corner to...
It’s still snowing
The snow was supposed to have let up by now, but it is still snowing in Boulder. We got a ton of moisture, but the temps were warm enough that a lot of the snow has melted as it has come down. Some of the last leaves of fall are still hanging on.
Hangin’ on Io’s Porch
I spend some time the last two weekends up in Estes Park. My friend Io lives there so I stopped by. She has a porch. And a dog named Amber. I have an 85mm Perspective Control Lens. And a photography problem. This is what happened.
The Aspen verses The Pine
I love aspen groves. We have a lot of pine forests in the Front Range, and they just aren’t as pretty. If an aspen tree and a pine tree got in a fight, the pine tree would probably win. Aspen trees are lovers, not fighters. In a Miss Perennial Woody Plant competition, the aspen...
Peace and Love on the Rocks, 40th Anniversary of Woodstock Photos
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...
Deciphering Chaos With Perspective Control Lenses
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...
Boulder Canyon View From Anemone Trail
I’ve been trying to be better about doing something other than work lately. But when I do, I still bring my camera. Does this mean that I’m not really getting away from work?
I actually went on a hike the other day. Probably the first one this year! It was a quick little one, leaving from...
I forgot my MTB shoes
I haven’t posted in a bit. I cracked under the weight of too much work and not enough fun. So Bobby and I attempted to rectify the situation with a little Nederland riding. Just to show how mentally cooked I was, I left my riding shoes at home for the first time in . ....
Tilt Shift Wildflowers
One of the good things about mountain biking alone is that I have plenty of time to stop and smell the flowers! And the wildflowers were out in full force last weekend up in Keystone. I love my Nikon Perspective Control lens because it is also a macro, allowing me to shoot landscapes and...
Back in the saddle again!
It has been a hectic July for me workwise. Sad to say, I haven’t done a single ride! But I’m rectifying that this weekend by doing some rides up in Keystone. Here is a shot from the Colorado Trail high above Keystone. I lugged the tilt shift along and had a great day taking some...
Using the tilt shift lens the correct way
Well highdee ho, long time no blog . . .
I’m in the middle of my first big push of weddings for this year. I shot 5 in 4 weeks plus 2 engagement portrait sessions plus a family portrait session. So I’m going to have lots of updates on my wedding blog, but not...
An Intentionally Silly Tilt Shift Portrait of Goldmember
A friend told me about a current thread on the Digital Wedding Forum about tilt-shift lenses. It is basically a rant saying that they are the latest fad, and that most of the images that are created with them are just a gimmick. The funny part is that the naysayers have pretty much...
