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

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

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!

Roxborough

20111125_1520

Having the day off for the extended holiday weekend, a friend and I decided to go for a hike in Roxborough State Park. The weather today was nothing less than amazing, especially considering it’s nearly Winter. As we arrived at the park there were numerous groups of deer alongside the road and to my amazement the park wasn’t too packed. We started hiking the Fountain Valley Trail and ended the day with the South Rim Trail. Truly a beautiful day!… Read More


Warm Breeze

20111104_1398_9

Having made it through another week of work, I decided to take it easy this morning and take a few photos South of Boulder. The dense cloud cover out East blocked any chance of having a brilliant sunrise. But even so, the morning was beautiful and in many ways rather warm considering the last few days.… Read More


Friday

20111028_1303_4

Friday has arrived and its shaping up to be a wonderful warm Autumn day. I started out the day at Plainview Road in Jefferson County and witnessed a beautiful sunrise. Even with all the melting over the past few days there was still quite a bit of the white stuff this morning.… Read More


Cold Day

20111027_1230

As the first major snowstorm cleared out last night it left a hefty dumping of snow and extremely frigid temperatures this morning. Hoping to capture the fresh snow I awoke earlier than normal and ventured out. The temperature in my Jeep read 16F and with stiff wind from the West it felt more like in the single temperatures. The first place I stopped was the overlook near the intersection of Indiana and Hwy 128. I spent about 20 minutes admiring… Read More


First Snow

20111026_1132

The first major snowstorm of the season hit late last night and early today. Having the urge to capture the fresh snow I brought along my camera gear today with the hopes of taking some photos. With a rather light workload today I decided to leave work early and head down towards Eldorado Canyon State Park. As I arrived at the park the snow was still flying and was already at a depth of around 11inches. The heavy wet snow made… Read More


Fleeting Warmth

20111023_1067

After spending the majority of this weekend inside editing photos, I was happy today to have time with my Father and go photographing. We decided to visit the open space along Clear Creek in Wheat Ridge, CO and arrived just before the sunrise. There are a few ponds/lakes along the creek and at West Lake we spotted two Beavers cruising the placid waters. With the sun rising at our backs we walked upstream to a favorite location of ours. In… Read More


Colors

20111020_0775

Noticing the hillsides around Eldorado Canyon turning red yesterday I decided to start the day with an early morning hike along the Homestead Trail. Located just East of the canyon the trail offers amazing views of the Flatirons and South Boulder Creek. The colors were just amazing and as the sun began to rise they started to pop even more.… Read More


Gold Canyon

20111019_0645_7

Early this morning I drove into Eldorado Canyon to see how the Autumn colors were fairing. The colors were pretty good compared to the last few years and luckily the ever present wind in the canyon didn’t down all the leaves yet. Taking a few photos I decided to come back in the afternoon, when the sun would be illuminating the canyon interior. As I arrived in the evening the sun was making its final journey over the mountains. The afternoon lighting… Read More


Columbine Kitchen

Late this afternoon I drove down to Denver and photographed a wonderful kitchen by StudioHOFF Architecture. The kitchen includes all the needed amenities within a clean modern design. Even with cloudy skies outside, the amount of natural light flowing into the space was really beautiful.… Read More


White Ranch Hike

20111016_0134

With the fall colors starting to peak around the Front Range I decided to go for a sunrise hike with my friend and her fiancee. Meeting at the East trailhead of White Ranch Open Space, located in Jefferson County, we soon began hiking as the sun started to rise. It’s been awhile since I’ve hiked around here and this time of year is really spectacular. Overall we hiked around 8 miles and gained/lost some 1600ft in elevation. Lots of people out on the trail today… Read More


3rd St. Kitchen

20111014_00001a

Heading out of work a little early today, I photographed a kitchen remodel which was just finished by Josh White Custom Homes in Boulder, CO. Aside from the updated kitchen the new windows and see-thru fireplace are highlights to the space.… Read More


First Light

20111014_9823-Edit-Edit

Waking up early than normal I decided to head to Boulder to catch the first light of the day. I contemplated heading to Chautauqua Park but decided to try and make the sunrise at Settler’s Park. The park, which is located at the entrance of Boulder Canyon, showcases some amazing scenery and rock formations. I lucked out with the timing as I ascended the ridge right when the Sun was rising over the Eastern horizon.… Read More

Lunch Walk

In the warmer months of the year I usually take a walk in lieu of a lunch while at work. And with the sun shining brightly, today was no exception! The bright light illuminated all the Autumn colors alongside Boulder Creek and made for some wonderful photography.… Read More
