Working...working

This has been a busy busy year. Though I believe my bank account would snicker at that. I have been shooting like mad, mostly because I love it, because freelance photojournalism for newspapers around here barely pays for gas. Unfortunately I am addicted.

I have been shooting a great deal of other stuff too however, Fallon's prom, Weston beach in California, Seattle, Kansas, and some great macro images (oo that sounded a touch pompous) that I've done locally. I am fond of the abstract and have been toying with that more lately for the shows that have been going up. The current show is for Iris and it is at Cafe 13 in Golden, CO (1301 Arapahoe) Iris : 3 will be up through October and includes four of the ladies from the agency with all new works:
Alisa Mokler Harper
Heather A. Longway
Johanna Snow
and me.

I am working on hanging another show at Violet 14th and Larimer in downtown Denver, and the majority of that show is abstract as it is based entirely in the theory of color as content. The opening will be October 16, so stay tuned for more info, and hopefully Adam Goldstein will be performing as well. (woo hoo Adam!)

I also completed my first novel in May. Who knew someone who was irked by writing as much as a caption could finish a cohesive 156,000 word story?

So I leave you with a little image I made at the zoo last week. Just for fun.

Seattle bound

I went to visit my friend Lucy who moved to Seattle two posts ago, but in reality has been gone for many months now.

We went to a few places we were sent to by another friend that were supposed to be good for making images and they ended up being fun, but not for the reasons we went. We found out-of-the-way coves, random weddings, and an old car show to attend and photograph. Then another friend of mine saw my tweets and called me to tell me where we should be going. She sent me an email full of great places to go outside of Seattle.

We ended up taking the Kingston Ferry across the sound to check out Point-no-Point. We decided to scout out the beach before we unpacked tons of gear, which should be sounding large warning bells right now. We decided the beach was worthy- even before seeing a pod of Orca's harass the local salmon fishermen off the point. One told us he had never seen anything so amazing after twenty years of fishing from the point. They were beautiful. Just imagine seeing four black and white killer whales diving in and out of the surf- yep that beautiful.

So here is a picture from the gardens by the Ballard Locks:


We had a great time, she pointed out all the foibles of the Seattle folk and how they differ from Colorado folk, and we saw the you know what:

Then I came home. So there you have it. Blog updated. Thanks for looking. J

Shooting images for a calender set to be published next year.

My crazy friend Lucy asked me to do portraits of her and her beau before they leave for Seattle. So I did. We had fun.
ALOT of fun.



We also made some fancy portraits. It was fun.

So my sweet Berry Lee is finally thirteen. Unbelievable. I gave her a makeover for her birthday, we got her a fancy haircut and then we did highlights and style, a little makeup and a streak of color.
She loved it. It was awesome.

Bubbles

So I am testing a new camera and lens sent to me compliments of Canon. I have had it for a week, and have to return it to them in another week. Though the lens is a macro, and an incredible one at that, so far this week, this has been my favorite image.
