Rockies

June 15, 2010

Had the opportunity to make pictures in slightly off-season type weather this weekend at Coors Field. I should be posting more regularly but things have been hectic. Also, I’m managing our blog over at Rich Clarkson and Associates,LLC as well. Go to the site and have a look there too.




Letting people be people…

June 3, 2010

I’ve never been one to make images of subjects performing for the camera but last night had me thinking while out at the weekly cruiser ride in downtown Denver. I started to think about camera awareness in relation to the given subject. Many of the folks like to get in my field of view and perform for the camera usually I let them do their thing and politely move on and observe from a distance until they forget about my being there. I started to look at several of these images with the mindset that these kids are just being themselves regardless of them looking into my camera or not. In a way every subject alters their behavior when a camera is present sometimes we just fail to notice so. The ideal situation of true personality often shines through after continually documenting one subject for a prolonged period of time. This is trust. As photojournalists we live for this. People letting us into their lives. For now enjoy some canned moments alongside of some visual observations. Cheers.

Denny turned thirty on Sunday. We gave him shots of whiskey and he gave us the gift of song. Cheers Denny.

LAX

March 11, 2010

Nothing overly special about lacrosse just the sheer fact that I’ve only managed to photograph it once before. That one time I quickly learned my lesson. Do not even attempt to make pictures behind the goal unless a very large bruise suites your fancy.

Building a bike

February 16, 2010

Not too many of these types left in the days of automated laser guided machinery. My goal with this overall cycling project has always been about the people behind the bike. This is Joe Depaemelaere. Much like a freelance photographer he is the marketing, production, human resources, builder,and general creative vision behind Primus Mootry Bicycles based in Longmont,Colorado. His craft started as a hobby and has progressed over the years. Please enjoy having a look into the shop. Thanks Joe.

Exhuastion

Made my way back over the the indoor Velodrome again the other day. We showed up late hoping for a scheduled race but soon found out that only two of them bothered to come that night. Regardless, they still raced until exhaustion.

Winter X Games…final

February 4, 2010

This is it. I promise. There’s just so much to share and quite frankly I, like so many photographers, am admittedly a terrible self editor. Back to your regular scheduled programming. Oh yeah, for the record I did photograph Mr. Shaun White more but the dude has some serious issues with showing his true emotions at this event. He just thanks the crowd after taking gold and is shuffled out of the venue by his handlers and security.

Winter X Games…part two

February 3, 2010

Sometimes digital files are completely overwhelming. I managed to make 95 gigs of raw images in 5 short days. I’ve narrowed that down to just a couple more blog posts. Here’s number two. Thank you for looking.
