Great Sand Dunes National Park in Black and White

As promised, the sand dunes in black and white. 

Great Sand Dunes National Park

After visiting Taos, we hit the sand dunes on the way back. One of the amazing things was that all of the foot steps that were there the evening before were gone by the next morning creating a smooth canvas to work from. Which is really what you want when photographing sand, unless you're shooting for some type of inspirational calendar, then maybe you want foot steps. More from the dunes in B&W to come.

More experimenting in nature with a camera.

Nate-Head Shots

Nate needed some head shots for a new business card. That wasn't a problem. Another great excuse to put the new home studio to work! So Nate stopped by for a short and sweet 30 minute session and we got a couple of nice shots out of it. In these shots I took advantage of our north facing garage doors. No fancy lighting set-up, just open the garage door and shoot. Even Buckwheat, my ever faithful assistant, got in on the act. He's going to make a fine assistant one day!

Rund um das Haus im Sommer- Images from the Kitchen Counter

Already this summer has been too hot for too long with too many fires here in Colorado. I thought I left all these wild fires behind in California. I guess not. While the High Park fire was burning outside, it made for some interesting light streaming in through the blinds. The good news is, after three weeks of burning, it's looking like the fire will be fully contained by this weekend. Let's hope the same is soon true for the rest of Colorado.

Laura and Jackson's Wedding- Oahu, Hawaii

If you ever get a chance to shoot a wedding in Hawaii I say go for it! Just be cordial with the clouds, which are constantly changing moods, use the wind to your advantage, and respect the sun you'll do okay. Plus, if it's your younger sister's wedding it makes for a very special occasion! I'm so glad for these two!
