Senior Pictures

2008-11-05T16:39:00.005-07:00

My mom asked me to take my little brother's senior pictures (yea that makes me feel old lol). Here are some of my favorites, I think they turned out pretty good!

I took this standing in my driveway. Yes I know I probably should have been inside, but I wouldnt' have been able to take the picture from downstairs...

The new puppy

2008-07-22T15:02:00.004-06:00

This is our new puppy, her name is Pandora. The only way i can get her to hold still for pictures right now is to tire her out completely lol. Then she will lay still for a couple of minutes.

Our puppies first experience in the mountains with really deep snow

High Altitude

2008-02-20T21:21:00.000-07:00

Cloudy days at 9,120 ft...This is why I love Colorado.

Let it snow...

I'm alive...promise

2007-11-28T14:17:00.000-07:00

I'm still alive and well I promise. Things have been crazy busy around here so I haven't had time to get out and shot anything. I have some cool pictures from the hockey game that I went to a little while ago that I'm going to try to get posted! Hang tight I'll be back in the swing of things soon!!!

Light Show

2007-08-16T09:57:00.001-06:00

After seeing Toby's great image of the lightning I decided to try my hand at it, no matter how many mosiquto bites I suffered heehee. They didn't turn out to bad actually.

Hiking Part II

2007-07-23T21:26:00.000-06:00

I love photographing water. Whether it be falls like these pictures, or standing pools and the way the light reflects in the surface.

Hiking

2007-06-02T06:22:00.000-06:00

It's really great, all the little beautiful things you can find if you just stop and focus on the smaller things. If you really take the blinders off and take in the world around you there is always something to see.

P.S. I think I finally have the whole super macro without a tripod down! Thanks for all of your tips guys!

Attitude Problem

2007-05-27T21:47:00.001-06:00

What began as an innocent attempt to capture some of the wildlife that lives around my house soon turned into a full blown "hollywood starlet chewing out the paparazzi" event in my front yard. This little guy lives in a bird house that I built for him above our old well house. In my efforts to capture him preening he decided I was much much to close to his family, and certainly didn't hesitate in telling me all about it while randomly dive bombing my head. Most of the time he is really happy to see me...I promise.

Playing with Macro

2007-05-27T21:40:00.001-06:00

My efforts to get comfortable with the super macro mode on my camera. Its a fun feature but its going to take some effort to perfect it without a tripod.

The Weather

Bring May (or April) snow storms

April Showers ...

2007-04-25T11:52:00.000-06:00

Well here it is the middle of April and its snowed in Colorado...again. But we didn't just get snow...no here we like to get in at least 3 seasons per day. So parts of CO got snow (we got 11 inches at our house) Denver north got rain, and lots of it. And eastern CO was dotted with tornados. If there is still snow left when I get home i'm going to post some pictures!

For some reason I just thought it was "pretty." Maybe I'm just weird like that.

I am helping put toghether a Relay for Life in June. These Luminaria bags were decorated by local 3rd graders to help light the track during the 12 hour walk to raise money for cancer research.

Vacation

2006-08-04T14:41:00.000-06:00

The first picture is a model I was working with....only kidding, her name is Joie and she is one of my friends kiddos that just can't stay away from the camera. But she is adorable! Both pictures were taken at Storybook Island in Rapid City South Dakota.

Fire

2006-08-02T13:08:00.000-06:00

These are some picturs of the Spotted Tail wildfire as it raced toward Chadron, Nebraska where I work. For video of the incoming fire see my blog. Thanks again to the 400 firefighters that worked tirelessly to keep the fire from town.
