Missing You

Today I made a run to Garden of the Gods for a project I am working on. While there, I was struck by this man. He spoke volumes in his solitary pose along a wall in the park, yet never said a word or opened his eyes. I admit that I hesitated to take this shot, feeling as if I was intruding on his quiet memorable moment, but in the end, I just couldn't resist.

The Many Faces of Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

This past Saturday I took Nathan up to the zoo for the day. On a whim, I took my camera with my fancy new 70-300mm with me. The animals didn't let me down. I managed to catch the grizzlies in a few candid moments, a close-up of the resident leopard, the Pallas cat beared its teeth lovingly at me (that cat has attitude to spare!), the hippos came out of the water, the tiger came out of hiding - partially, the giraffes posed for a shot or two and a cute little chipmunk came out to visit. Enjoy!

Elsa's Birthday

Yesterday, Nathan and I went to a friend's house for their daughter's second birthday party. All attendees had a blast, and I came away with a couple very nice shots of the birthday girl that I thought worthy of sharing. Enjoy!

The Baptism

In December I was invited to photograph the baptism of a friend's sister-in-law. I agreed thinking it would be a good opportunity to test my skills with human subjects rather than non-moving landscapes. I learned a thing or two about developing photos with this shoot and what I do and don't particularly excel at.

What I was not expecting was a huge family photo with lots of kids of varying ages. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get all kids looking the same direction at the same moment? Let me tell you, next to impossible.

Alas I digress. This is the result of the shoot. Enjoy, leave comments, I am open to constructive criticism!
