“Wildlife” photography

After a year of a repair saga that isn’t even worth getting into, my 300mm f/2.8 lens is back from the dead, essentially rebuilt.
I usually use the lens for photos like this (yes, shameless Beckham plug) in places like this, but inspired by a friend’s recent email I set out to get some [...]

Bon Appetit

My photo taken of Sarah Blecher’s Gingerbread doughnuts has been displayed prominently on the Bon Appetit front page for the past couple of days. Don’t know how long it will be there, but still pretty cool to see.
Vote for Sarah’s Gingerbread Doughnuts with Maple Cream Cheese frosting under the Miscellaneous Dessert category.

Andrea and Jason were a dream to work with and so were their families and friends. Despite having our portrait plans thwarted by the weather, they rallied to make sure we got the portraits back at the hotel. It wasn’t the perfect setup, but when you’re thrown a curveball in [...]

Expensive cameras + water submersion = no more camera

Went out fishing with a friend on Saturday. Took along my camera in hopes of getting some nice photos with the fall light and colors. We had decided to fish South Boulder Creek below Gross Reservoir. We had fished it a couple of weeks before and it was a really nice stretch of river. Unfortunately [...]

Inez Catherine Watt-Hoven

Our friends Liz and Shawn had a baby girl last Friday - Inez Catherine. Inez’s brother Oliver is already a popular subject of mine so I wasted no time in getting Inez’s first photo shoot under her belt. Eleven hours after Inez was born Liz was out on the couch drinking champagne, eating bacon cupcakes, [...]

Culinary School of the Rockies, Alumni Portraits

I was recently hired to shoot alumni portraits for the Culinary School of the Rockies. I shot six alumni in all, these are three of my favorites.

Big Tall Dave

An old friend of mine from Jackson suffered a terrible biking accident on Sunday, July 27. He was taken to the intensive care unit in Idaho Falls where he was put into a medical coma. He’s been making slow but steady progress, even saying a few words yesterday and trying hard to open up his [...]

I met Dorian through the Culinary School of the Rockies where she works as an admissions specialist. She had seen some photos I took of our friend’s son Oliver and I think the idea of doing something a little different struck a chord with her. [...]

Bees and comb

Fast forward six weeks or so since we first installed our bees…
We’ve moved the bees to our new home. I think the rule is less than 50 ft or more than three miles. We sealed up the hive with a towel one night and I think it was the last thing we moved to our [...]

Bees

In April our bee colony arrived, trucked in from California. We picked it up in Niwot out of a yard stacked with 80 or so crates of bees. It was surreal to put the wood and wire mesh crate in the back of our car, close the door and listen to them hum - some [...]
