Butterfly Interior

20120329_2682 Edit

Today I went back to SSA’s “Butterfly House” in Boulder to photograph the interior of the house. I originally captured the interior when the house was new, before the owners moved in, but now had the chance to capture it with furniture. To view the older photos I took of this house go here: Interiors 1, Interiors 2, Exterior More information on the house can be found on the SSA website.… Read More


Evergreen Fire

20120326_2852

The warm temperatures and strongs winds today created the perfect conditions for a fire and that’s exactly what happened up near Evergreen. The amount of smoke West of Denver was extremely dense and I just hope it gets put out soon!… Read More


Dino Tracks

20120317_2510

Continuing our walk along the canyon floor we soon arrived at the Dinosaur tracksite location. Along the north riverbank we noticed a few three towed Allosaurus footprints and marveled to think that millions of years ago a dinosaur stepped on the same piece of ground. According to the  ExploreSoutheastColorado website:

“150 millions years ago, this area was part of a large, shallow lake and was teaming with Brontosaurs and Allosaurs. As these massive beasts plodded along the muddy edge of this lake they… Read More


Picketwire Canyon

20120317_2464

Even though I was tired from barely sleeping, at one point I did manage to marvel at all the millions of stars that dotted the night sky. Never in my life have I’ve seen so much intensity and brightness that one didn’t even need a light to see, as the starlight was more than enough. After fully waking up at about 6:45, 15mins before the sunrise, we packed up the camping gear and prepared to go hiking in the Picketwire Canyonlands.
Parking closer… Read More


Comanche National Grasslands

20120316_2591

Leaving the Sand Creek Massacre site we drove South towards Las Animas to look for a good place to camp. Nearing the town we noticed signs for the John Martin Reservoir State Park and decided it was as good a place to camp as any. That is until we saw the staggering price of $20 for staying just one night at a not so picturesque reservoir. So with that we continued driving through Las Animas and eventually passed by Bent’s Fort. Since it was already… Read More


Reflections of the Past

20120316_2576

After quite a hiatus of having no crazy weekend road trips, my friend and I decided to do one last one before she moved onto to bigger and better things in Texas. So waiting to the last minute we decided to head towards Southeastern Colorado, instead of the stormy West. It was a good thing too since the weather forecast called for highs in the mid eighties in Southeastern Colorado. After leaving Boulder around 11 we eventually ended up retracing part of… Read More


Warm Winter

20120315_2437

With all the warm weather lately it is hard to believe it’s still Winter! Then again the official first day of Spring happens in less than a week. Anyway, seeing it was so nice this morning I decided to head back to the Greenbelt Plateau trail for the first light of the day. The conditions cooperated nicely and created an intense sunrise over the Front Range and Flatirons. What a beautiful way to start the workday!… Read More


New Days

Radiating

An amazing sunrise greeted me this morning on the Greenbelt Plateau trail in Southern Boulder County. With a slight gap of clear skies above the Eastern horizon, the sun lit things up nicely before getting blocked from the extensive cloud cover.… Read More


Garden Morning

20120225_2241

Yesterday afternoon my Father and I decided to meet up early this morning and go out photographing. After picking up my father around 5:30 we headed towards Colorado Springs but were stopped when the highway was closed due to an accident. After a slight detour through Castle Rock we finally made it to the Garden of the Gods just as the sun was rising. I wish we would have gotten there a little bit earlier but it was still an… Read More


Eldorado Creek Ranch

20120215_2102

I was hired to photograph details of a house located in Eldorado Springs, CO this afternoon. The house was designed at the firm where I work, Stephen Sparn Architects, about 6 years ago and has a wonderful Western essence to it. I could only imagine living in such a location with the great outdoors literally at your doorstep!… Read More


First Light

This is the first, from what I expect to be many, photos of the view from my Aparment looking East. I must admit its great watching the sun rise over the horizon in the comfort of my home… Read More


Fresh Outting

20120210_2072

Once again its been quite awhile since I got out and photographed anything nature inspired. But luckily before work today I woke up well before the sunrise and headed to the Greenbelt Plateau trail in Boulder County. It was a biting 15F deg outside this morning but the relatively clear skies, deep snow, and setting moon made for a memorable experience.… Read More

Today I went back up to Longmont with the hopes of capturing the last building for the Longmont Museum’s upcoming exhibit. But unfortunately we couldn’t get the necessary authorization, so I just ended up taking photos from the adjacent apartment complex across the street. Considering the distance the photos didn’t turn out all that bad!… Read More


Longmong Pt 2

20120103_1926

Leaving work a little bit early today, I drove up to Longmont to finish taking photos for the Longmont Museum and Cultural Center. The museum commissioned me to photograph a few buildings around the city, with the Humane Society and the Prospect Neighborhood being the last ones.… Read More


Amazing Light

20120103_1863

It’s never easy returning to work after a vacation but at least we were treated with an amazing sunrise today! At first I didn’t plan on taking photos but as I headed out the door the conditions were ripe for a great sunrise. With time being short I ventured to one of my favorite sunrise locations along Plainview Rd. The conditions were relatively mild, considering it’s January, with the biggest problem being the super strong winds.… Read More


Table Mountain

20120102_1986

My friends and I decided to take advantage of the holiday, not to mention fantastic weather, by going for a hike at North Table Mountain park. I only took one photo but the fresh air and warm temperatures made for a great outting!
