Colorado is on Fire: Aspens in Aspen

Few shots from this past weekend in Aspen, Colorado. True to it’s name, the town was awash in color as thousands of Aspens lit up the towering hillsides.

Two Friends, Two Beers and Moment of Reflection

Sometimes it’s best to just stop and stare out into space soaking up the view, looking at the task ahead and remembering just how beautiful life can be.

Pic is from Joe Piccola’s wedding this past weekend in Lake Tahoe. Joe and his freshman year roommate take a moment to reflect and look ahead.

The Backyard

Went for a short hike Tuesday morning to iron out some details with a potential business partner. Like all things Colorado, we decided to skip the coffee shop and meet at 5 a.m. instead. Our destination was nothing more than a short hike through the Rockies. Needless to say the chat was successful on multiple levels.

Shots are from Indian Peaks. Enjoy.

Be Naked

Woke up in the middle of the wilderness last Saturday and the only subject I could find to shoot was my breakfast. Sometimes I have to remind myself it’s not the mountains and views I need to look at, but the small things.  This morning it was that every once in a while beauty can be found in a plastic bottle.

The Road Ahead

Starting a journey may require taking a step, but it also includes looking up and enjoying the view.

Picture is from this Friday night as I drove out to Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Best Damn Weekend: Climbing Mt. Shavano

Weekends in Colorado are made for one thing: Adventure, good friends, starry skies, and hoppy beer. This past weekend two close friends and I headed down a dirt road for a little adventure. What we found — stoned hippies, the biggest cow we’ve ever seen, glowing aspens, natural hot springs, and a hail storm — was just the tip of the iceberg. We laughed, talked about life, burned a few too many logs, and forgot about deadlines and cell phones. Sunday night found us relaxed, exhausted, and ready for the week. Here are a few shots from our hike up Mt. Shavano (14,229 ft.).

Life Is All About The Little Things, Like Waking Up Next To A River

Forget Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, and text messaging. Yep, life is at it’s best when everything’s turned off, a fire’s raging, and good friends are all around.

Shots are from this weekend’s rafting trip down the Arkansas River in Colorado. Three days of solid class III-IV whitewater and clear blue skies.

Photojournalism at its best – New NYT’s photo blog

Just give yourself a few hours and check out the new New York Times photo blog appropriately titled Lens. The collection of photographs, stories, and slideshows is one of the best things to come out of newspapers today. And the packaging is near genius.
