A Little Preview

I'm doing the photography for Bella Designs for their Fall Line of Jewelry. I don't want to give away too much so here's just a preview of some earrings that I shot today. Be sure to visit the website for some amazing jewelry designs. The designer is local for those of you in the springs too! The Holidays aren't too far away......Bella Designs

Did I mention that you should go to Bella Designs ?

A little Yerba Mate on top of the car, vibes caused by the engine and la musica.
And I'm pretty sure this is how they practiced before they put Stone Henge together

long exposure fun

upside down

I woke up this morning wanting to take pictures upside down. The thought then occured that I could just as easily flip pictures upside down, intitial reaction: super bummed. Final result: I did it anyway! 2 of these I flipped, the green bowl speaker and the one shot throught the grass. The other two were bonafide upside down pictures. The idea was to take pictures of things that might not be immediately distinguished as upside down, or things that look better upside down. I'm going to experiment with this more. I did some of this with film in High School with more interesting results than today, but It's a lot of fun to have people looking at you in public when you're shooting bent over with your head between your legs. Awkward, and I like it.

show

this is a picture of a show i've been watching on DVD, 'how I met your mother'. A friend loanded it to me for the week while Abbey is gone, and it's been 3 days, watched the whole darn season, all 22 episodes... It's a funny show, you should check it out, literally.
I had a lot of fun taking this picture. It's kind of like taking pictures at an event, or of children; you have to wait and anticipate the right moment to snap the picture. I'm thinking about using this as a tool to work on speed and intuition with capturing moments.

S-Curve from road. bottom right to very top-left. More like a squiggly than a s-curve....

um, not sure what this one is. I'll have to look it up.

"It's a Rocky Mountain Big-Horn Deer!" >>I love tourists! Big-Horn Sheep. There were 3 of them while I was watching.

This wasn't from Garden of the Gods, it was the King Sooper Parking Lot on Uintah.

Long day.

Abbey and I at the airport before she left to California.

My saturday night, rock band, oh and I sang.

a long walk

Here's a summary of the pics: One of those little seed things was flying around, I caught it in a box and spent about 5 minutes trying to get a in-focus shot while it was flying around the box. I put some paper on top of the AC unit to blow through the air. I took a walk home and saw some cool stuff, a nice little stream, a flower, a morel mushroom, some white cap mushrooms, a little bike path, a sign that basically said yes to dogs, bicycles, and walkers, but no rifles and motorcycles.

Two-Tone

The lens flare directly on my eye was purely coincidental, But I like it!

Blue Sky

Saw these on the way home from work, pulled over and had some fun!

Wind and a Bear

At work there is a painted bear statue. Today he and I had a meeting. The wind was blowing and I had my Harmonica on me. The idea: to take a photo that showed that the wind was blowing. I set a greater depth of field to show the harmonica and the blowing plants in the background. With a slower shutter speed, there was partial movement blur from the plant. The harmonica was to represent wind also, as a harmonica takes wind to produce noise.

Repair

I replaced my front Pads and Rotors, here's one of the old ones.

Weddings!!!
