You Fashion Model You

Front Range Colorado women and men, I'm looking for YOU for a "fashion" shoot. Wearing your best clothes, bringing your best style. LA and NY, I will be in your city this summer. Got a hot car? Bring it. I have urban and suburban locations that are perfect for a photography session in Boulder and...

What’s Your Ratio of ‘Living’ vs ‘Preparing to Live’?

We're either preparing to live or we're living. We can't be doing both at the same time. You're either buying and peeling potatoes, or you're eating them at a dinner party with friends. One is prep. One is living. You're either pumping up the tires on your bike, or you're soaring at 20mph under a...

Easter Sunday Rolleiflex Portraits Day 3

I've had such a good time meeting people the past couple of days that I knew I had to go back out again today and see who I would find. Who I'd meet and strike up a conversation with. That's the beautiful thing about a classic film camera, it's a great ice breaker. This time...

Rolleiflex Day 2: Going Back for More

Yesterday's street portrait walk with the Rolleiflex made me want to go out again today. And so I did. This time I loaded Ilford HP5 in a Rolleiflex 3.5F. First stop was in Longmont where I found this wonderful couple. Then I had to run an errand in Arvada Colorado to deliver a framed photograph,...

Rolling Around with a Rolleiflex

There's something extra special about going out with just a single roll of Ilford HP5+ in a Rolleiflex--the possibilities abound regarding who I might meet, what I will see. This week I took a drive north toward Greeley Colorado with no real destination except perhaps one antique shop I like to frequent, only to find...

As Photography Has Become Ubiquitous, It’s Become Irrelevant (to the Masses)

The era of film photography produced some seriously good photographers. Photographers whose work hangs in museums and galleries and is revered for its quality. Robert Frank, Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helen Levitt, Diane Arbus. Even recent discoveries like Vivian Maier's work are celebrated. Because it's of a quality that we can appreciate. Perhaps because we...

Tuesday Night Photographers Gather

For the past two years, I and a group of local photographers have been gathering at a Colorado Irish pub on Tuesday nights. If you stop into Mike O'Shays in Longmont, Colorado on any Tuesday evening, you'll find a gang of photo enthusiasts from amateur snapshooters to seasoned pros sitting around, drinking Guinness pints or...

A Trio of Photographs of a Longtime Friend

Some friendships last over multiple decades and across long miles. My former photo editor, Martin, who hired me on as a staff photographer at The Times of Trenton (NJ), is one of those friendships. I've seen him when I'm back on the east coast and he's visited with me when he's out in Colorado skiing....

A Peek Inside My World

I probably live in a place that's a bit more artistic and bohemian chic than you'd see if I decorated and furnished with a visit to Pottery Barn or Crate & Barrel. I wrote yesterday about how I make photographs that are a part of my world, and they really are quite a big part....
