It Rained All Summer, and Now It’s Over.

13Sep09

564 // September 13, 2009 September is halfway over. It rained all summer and now I can’t believe that is has come and gone. Doesn’t feel fair. Days are getting shorter and cooler, and it actually snowed at Loveland Pass last night…

People – Holga Revisited

17Aug09

576 // August 17, 2009 I’ve shown you photos that I’ve taken with my Holga, but have I ever shown you what it looks like? It’s a little toy camera made out of plastic, and the kicker/fun part of it is that there are certain to be light leaks, exposing the negative film inside and […]

Hail!

09Aug09

572 // August 09, 2009 Very loud hail tonight in Denver. What a phenomenon – I know technically how hail works and arrives down here, but it was in the mid-80s-if-not-90s here during the day. Only lasted at most for 10 minutes, but here is an image of the hail on the front porch.

Beauty in the Little Things…

08Jul09

559 // July 08, 2009 This was actually a mistake photo – I meant to capture the silhouette with him looking directly at me – but he turned his head at the last minute. I was disappointed and wrote off the photo as a “meh…”. However, I decided to re-evaluate and revisit — and what […]

Mt. Quandary

05Jul09

556 // July 05, 2009 Mt. Quandary stands at 14, 265 as the unquestioned monarch of Summit County. It can be seen quite clearly from CO9 in between Hoosier Pass and Breckenridge, in addition from the top of Dercum Mountain in Keystone while skiing. In the typical early-to-mid summre Colorado weather that can’t make up […]

Sprinkler Captures

03Jul09

554 // July 03, 2009 Shot some photos in passing of some sprinklers. I love how white and charismatic these seemingly-simple drops of water actually are. Hope you’re staying cool enough this weekend!

Summer Over?

24Sep08

328 // September 24, 2008 Not here. Even though the official first day of Fall was on Monday, it certainly doesn’t feel like it here in Denver. While still in the mid-80s the rest of the week, the leaves are starting to change colors! Can’t believe summer is over already, seemed like it just began. […]

Cub on Film

16Sep08

320 // September 16, 2008 Took shots of Mr. Cub with the 35mm — they came out excellent. The lighting, color and focus were pretty spot on for most the roll. Seems like a natural in front of the camera, don’t you think?
