Its that time of year.

Hi All, Its now spring/summer and I have begun to shoot again. I have a few events lined up for the summer and I am getting excited. First will be the MX nationals at Thunder Valley and then the nationals in SLC. I am hoping for full access to the MX nationals at SLC.  I am looking to line up a few model shoots this summer. If you know anyone interested in modeling let me know.

 

I upgraded my gallery with a few new images and changed the style let me know what you think!.

What have I been up too!?

Hi All. Here in CO the weather has not been the best for me to get out and shoot.  I have been playing with my  Nikon D300 a lot. This thing has tons of new features and I wanted to have all the kinks worked out before the shooting season starts.
I decided to make the move to Wacom tablet this month. I have been spending time using the new tablet and pen. I really think I am going to enjoy it. the move from a mouse has slowed down my post processing time but I think in the long run I will get better at using it. Check back soon. Its getting warm in CO and I will start shooting a lot more images.

New site design

Hi All.. its that time of year again. I have redesigned my site and changed some images and blogs around. I am pledging to post at least once a month this year. Since I shoot a lot of seasonal images (summer) I will try to keep you guys more up to date on whats going on in my world of Photography.

To finish 2012 I recently upgraded my camera to a D300 and love it. I have bought a android tablet to help me keep up with my model releases and better on the go work flow. I have to say “Snapseed” is the best tablet imaging software I have seen. Its great to be able to edit images on the site of your shoot.

Update on what I have been doing

Hi All.. I have been super busy the last month or so. I just wanted to fill you in on what I have been up to. I have been shooting quite a lot over 5000k of images on my camera this year so I am thinking of upgrading the D200. I have been trying to step out of my boundaries and shoot different things. I have done a couple of meetups with models and had some great results. I am trying to take part in more photo critiques and be more proactive in the photographic community.  I am looking forward to a new year and shooting as much as possible. I have updated my image gallery so check out some of the new things and let me know what you think.

My gallery show opening and the Motocross nationals

Hi all. I had a busy weekend. Friday night I had my gallery show reception. Everything went better than I expected. I had a lot of fun talking with the artists and guests. I did not sell anything opening night but I still think I can sell my 2 images.  On Saturday I shot the motocross nationals here is Colorado. This was tons of fun.  I shoot a lot of MX and action sports. I have added some images from the MX nationals to the gallery and removed some stuff I had grown tired of. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Gallery show and upcoming shoots

Hi all. Tomorrow night is my first showing in 15 years or so. (I’m a little nervous) If you want to stop by the gallery. The reception is from 4 to 6 at the Boulder Digital arts center. 

I will also be doing a shoot this weekend in Denver. This is a urban fashion shoot and should be a lot of fun. I have done some location scouting, have a make up and hair stylist. (props to Kate V for this) We are all trading work for work. I really want to expand my portfolio with new images. If you know anyone that wants to do work like this send me a email.

Shoot and Lightroom photo class (gallery update)

Hello all.. To start I have a few things to share this week. Its official I submitted my images for consideration in the Boulder gallery art show,. The announcement for  the show will happen Tuesday May 8th.  I am not expecting to get in but will we see.

I have testing 2 different companies now for printing. I found I really liked a local company called Pro DPI. I was able to get great fast prints That were pretty close to my monitor calibration. I’m hoping to have a lot more work printed there in the months to come

I had a great day on Saturday with a local Smug mug group in Brighton,CO. We started with a model shoot in the morning and then moved into a class room for a learning session in Lightroom. Its always nice to have a refresher corse. We worked with outdoor lighting and using scrims.
