Obligatory Cat Picture.

I believe it's a law that every blog has a cat picture. Here's my horrible monster.

Drip... Drip... Drip...

Can't sleep. Someone fix that damn leaky faucet.

Your table is ready

The End of the Day

Remember

Fort Logan National Cemetery

End of summer

This is what a bicycle chain and cassette look like after 3000 miles.

Satsuma Cheesecake

Cheesecake and a Thomas Hardy's Ale. The perfect meal.

Guinness Cupcake

Mmmm, beer cupcake. Can life get any better?

Still Life With Stars

Tough shot to get. My mostly white cat kept laying on the black cloth I was using as a background.

The Sadness of Memory

Nighthawk

Taken during the Loveland Photographic Society's City Street Night Photography field trip.

Marble

Mmmm, pie

My first pie made from scratch. Still waiting for it to cool so I can cut in to it and have a taste.

A Storm Gathers

Time Flows On

Out playing with my B+W ND110 filter. 2 minute exposure, turning the water to silk.

Boulder Creek, a short walk upstream from Eben G Fine Park.

Practice makes perfect

Test shot to set up some ideas I had. Turned out to be the best shot of the bunch.

Backyard of DOOM!

First day playing with my new B+W ND110 filter. 60 second exposure at 2:00 pm. This filter is going to be so cool!

Heavily processed in Photoshop to decrease saturation and increase contrast.

Hit!

Pirates vs. The Rockies.

Took in the Rockies game today. Took more than 160 pictures and got maybe 10 decent shots. Sports photography isn't my strong suit.

Lightning Strikes

Taken a few minutes after a huge storm passed over my house.

When I try to sleep at night

Inspired by "Biko" by Peter Gabriel. The picture has nothing to do with Stephen Biko or the song. It's what came to mind when I thought about the lyrics:

When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one color, dead

I remember when you held my hand

Suffering Softens Stones

Inspired by "Suffering Softens Stones" by Darshan Ambient.

Tiny Denver

Playing around with faking tilt-shift in Photoshop to make Denver look like a model.

The Pepsi Center shot from the observation tower at Elitch Gardens.

Looks better when viewed full size.

Macro Monday

Another entry for Macro Monday. This week's theme is metallic surfaces.

Playing with fire

This weekend was macro time. After getting all of the shots I had planned, I wanted to play with lighting smoke. Unfortunately, matches give off surprisingly little smoke, so I went for flame instead.

Have a drink, play some pool

Another composite image. One shot for the sign, another for everything else.

How Fortunate The Man With None

This is the first in a new series of images inspired by song titles or lyrics. This one was inspired by "How Fortunate The Man With None" by Dead Can Dance.

I'm not completely happy with it. It's not as stark and gritty as I wanted and doesn't convey the hopelessness and depressing mood I was aiming for. Plus, it was really cold laying on the cement.

Ski Train to Winter Park

This is a composite of two photos. Proper exposure of the train would blow out the highlights on the platform. I took two shots several stops apart to get the correct exposure for each area and combined them in Photoshop.

Confluence Park

Confluence Park in Denver.

Shot details: 63 seconds @ f/13.
