You never know what new friends you will make on a desert trip. I met Malachi and Zach back at Delicate Arch. As Poi performers they were looking to create light and I was looking to capture some. It was the perfect partnership! Then Delicate Arch just did it’s thing and we ended up with this!
On December 10th there was a lunar eclipse that I couldn’t resist getting up early to photograph. From that shoot I created the image “Eclipsis”. This image has now been shared on Facebook around the world and has become a favorite. After a few requests I have decided to offer this as a limited edition fine art photographic print. Limited to 50 prints in each size.
Offered in three sizes:
10×20 $175
15×30 $225
20X40 $299
All sizes will be printed on a metallic photographic paper, mounted and finished with a high gloss and linen texture.

Last night on my way home home from an amazing shoot with Troy and Jamie I was overpowered to create an image from the fire that was burning up Fourmile Canyon just west of Boulder. I love these bursts of creativity and I had this clear vision with the fire and smoke behind the the iconic Flatirons of Boulder. This is beauty and power in its purest form, it is also something to fear and respect! I love the colors and hint of the Flatirons in the shadows.
I have friends and friends with family that are in limbo from this with homes at risk. I hope everyone is safe and that the brave firefighters get this contained with out any more lose of life or property. Now is the time to do your best rain dance!
As many of you know I have a bit of a kayaking habit. It is right up there with my love for photography. I love the places it takes me, the feel of water moving under me (sometimes on top of me) and the great people I have met along the way.
The other night I was at the Glenwood Springs Wave as the Colorado River hit it’s peak height of the spring runoff. It is an event not to be missed as the river turns from a familiar friend into an awakened giant that is ready to dish it out to anything in it’s path. This can be scary and very exciting all at the same time.
The Glenwood wave is a man made wave built with huge cement blocks that were anchored into the river bed to create this super wave that draws kayakers and surfers from all over the globe when it is at high water and the wave is at is largest.
I’d just finished surfing the wave myself and noticed Trevor Clark a highly talented kayak and outdoor sports photographer photographing from the other bank across the river. He was photographing the reigning world cup champion freestyle kayaker Nick Troutman and a few others as it was getting dark. He was using a powerful flash to light up the wave at the peak of action as Nick threw big tricks off the face of the wave.
Watching this inspired me to go get my camera from the truck and see what I could do using his flash (which I had no control of) and the natural ambient light. I’d start a long 15 second exposure hoping that his flash would go off during this time. Many times it didn’t but a few times it did. I thought this image turned out rather interesting blending the two light types together to create a different look. It is always fun to get the opportunity to combine my passions and create art in the process. Enjoy!
