I shot Josh and Alicia’s engagement in the foothills West of Boulder. We had the perfect evening. Josh had Alicia’s engagement ring (Ritani) that had been custom built at the Jeweler hidden in his sock. He chose the perfect moment to re-propose to Alicia with my camera trained on them I got the whole sequence. Needless to say Alicia was very happy and surprised. I’m really looking forward to their wedding day!

This is after Josh presented the engagement ring. I really like the graphic nature of the place and the drama.

This was fun and unusual! A good photographer never gives away his secrets….or maybe that is a Magician?

Can you guess how this was created? One hint is was NOT done in a studio. Leave your guesses below as a comment.

I love the depth and layering in this image. This is right across the street from their home in Lodo, Denver.

I like the form of the wall mimicking the shape of the mountains. Seemed fitting as they are facing west looking at the Rocky Mountains.

Drama in the form of simplicity. Is this a natural or urban location?….. I think both, This is in Denver. I love the juxtaposition.

I thought it might be too dark to shoot much as the clouds were getting thick and the sun was setting somewhere behind the gloom. This image just proves that it is always good to try to make an image even if the conditions aren’t in your favor.

Another one that didn’t get away, the Mountain Gods were smiling on us. I love the sense of place in this image.

As of now, there is not an art program scheduled for Edison Elementary School for the Fall of August 2009. As a parent and artist; this really saddens me. We have joined the Art for Edison group and strive to raise $60,000 by May 28th 2009. The money will help hire either a full time art teacher and purchase all the supplies, or to have an artist in residence program, depending on how much money we raise. You can learn more on the Art for Edison website www.artforedison.org

There will be a silent auction on May 8th, from 6-9 pm with announcements at 9:30 at the Namaste Hospice and Events Center, 3945 Tennyson Street, Denver map

This will be a great chance to purchase amazing art at great prices that will support an even greater cause! Partial List of artists: Scott Adsit, Kym Bloom, Michael Brohman, Amands Cross, Tina Cross, Rachel Tai Davis, Nicole Hyde, Peter Holcombe, Rian Kerran, Sara Lou Klein, Lindy Lyman, Kate McPhee, Kirk Norlin, Janan Platt, Dean Rivas, Iris Scadden, Jazz Segura, Robin Segura, Michael Wais, Bryce Widom, Jennifer Wilson and more.

"Suburbia Undisturbia"

This is part of my ongoing body of work documenting the change of the Front Range of Colorado. Working on this since 1997 I am fascinated with how fast development is happening (even with the recession). I am photographing many scenic locations before the gas stations and mini malls pop up and take over. This is not nesaceraly a protest but more of a chronicle on history.
