It’s showtime!  Coming up next week I’ll be showcasing 35 pieces at the Crested Butte Center for the Arts, July 4-11.  This series shot over the past 3 years as part my built environments portfolio is very exciting to finally hang.  Many of personal favorites will spring out from the depths of my hard drive [...]

December 7th, 2010

Back in October I had a “photographer spotlight” article featured in Snowboard Colorado Magazine.  Always a great feeling to get some unseen images out there, and Snowboard Colorado dedicated a 12 page layout to my work- truly motivating to get that much exposure in one magazine. It’s a free local publication centered around local talent [...]

Creativity… is it enough?

And what defines creativity anyhow?  But most importantly… is creativity alone enough? In today’s crowded, noisy world good advertising photography must transcend just ‘creative’. Your probably wondering why all the questions [...]

Happy subjects = Happy Photographers

October 11th, 2010

Recently I was commissioned by a local snowboard manufacturer for a team portrait shoot.  Action sports athletes tend to be my  preferred subjects; for portrait work and otherwise.  True to the elements, these guys held it down for 4 hours in the rain.  Models and make-up artists usually call it a day after 15 minutes [...]

Absence of a Friend

May 28th, 2010

Learned some painful news that we recently lost an amazing artist and true gentlemen within the flickr community.  Horst Bernhart, known as hb19 shared with us a trademark style and a creative process he made with a simple point and shoot camera.  His humorous and charismatic approach seemed to envelope his personalty into the images [...]

The Longest Exposure

April 26th, 2010

Unpredictability has it’s place in photography.  And long exposures take the cake in knowing exactly what your not going to get in an ambient setting,  So how long is this one?  Six months. That’s right. This surreal exposure made by Justin Quinnell shows each phase of the sun over the Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge in [...]
