Awhile back I posted the iPhone version of this image. Actually misplaced the card that had my higher res images and found it today - right in the camera where I left it..

Telluride Aspens

Homage to Eliot Porter

 

“We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain.”

Telluride after the Rain

I was at a wedding in Telluride last weekend. And while Telluride is a difficult destination travel-wise it certainly has some spectacular scenery. It was a friend's daughter who was getting married and, of course, I brought my camera.

Just as the wedding started the rain came - only for about 20 minutes - but the light that appeared  after the rain stopped left me with the view posted today. And, yes, I also made a few images of the wedding for my friends...

All of this at 10,000+ feet...In the end it was all worth a bit of travel drama....

Telluride

What, You looking at me....

 In Telluride to attend a wedding. Was out shooting in the hills and was getting back in the car when I saw this guy staring at me. On closer inspections there seem I found many faces an figures in this rock formation. Makes on wonder.....

Jimmy John's

Jimmy John's Delivery Person

Sometimes you just have to be there......I was shooting at a studio in Denver yesterday and we ordered food from Jimmy John's for lunch. My cell phone rings and this female voice tells me the food is here but she can not find the studio door. So I volunteer to go outside and guide her in, and, immediately upon seeing her my photographic bell starts ringing.....I just loved everything about her right down to the pearls and the pen hanging off her t-shirt...she agrees and the image is posted today.

Sometimes reality does inspire....

Roller Derby

One more day of Derby today - the US Finals.....Gotham form New York versus Oly from Seattle.....it has been quite the experience being at this event....first time shooting Derby although it has some similarities to rock and roll. The derby action moves much quicker without the benefit of large lighting systems.

Today's images are a few more impressions from the finals....

Gunaella Pass

Guanella Pass, Georgetown, Colorado

Been quite busy lately but I found the time to get out with my camera one morning last week in Colorado. I was staying with a friend in Gerogetown, Colorado and drove up to the top of Guanella Pass, 11,669 feet. And PS, it is hard to breath at that altitude if you are a sea level New Yorker....

It was bitter cold that morning. Despite the cold, on the way down the pass, I managed few images, one which is posted today. It was the wispy cloud that caught my eye and I wanted to made theimage before it dis-appeared behind the mountains...
