2011 Creede Balloon Festival

Brandon — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 22:35:50 +0000

I recently spent the Labor Day Weekend in Creede, CO. While there, I attended the first annual Creede Hot Air Balloon Festival and took a few photos while there. This was my first time around Hot Air Balloons and I was very impressed!

Great Sand Dunes National Park

Brandon — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 02:18:12 +0000

I’m in the middle of a trip to visit my parents for the long Labor Day weekend, and I had the opportunity to time my arrival at the Great Sand Dunes National Park (near Mosca and Alamosa Clorado) when the sunlight would be perfect! Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to trek out into them, but I still think I captured some good photos of the dunes. I think these are some of my best photos ever, but at the same time, is it possible to take a bad photo of sand dunes?

Denver Sunflower Field Photos

I’ve often heard about Sunflower fields existing around the Denver area, and decided that this was the year that I would finally track one down and take photos of it. It took me a couple of days to find one, but it was totally worth it once I did! Here are a few of the photos I took while there:

Photos Of Coors Field In Denver

Brandon — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 07:12:06 +0000

In an attempt to continue to add more Denver area photography to my image collection, I took a walk around Lower Downtown in Denver (Lodo) this past Friday, camera in hand. One place I didn’t really have any photos of was Coors Field, so I snapped a few while I was there. I’ve looked around for good Coors Field photos and haven’t seen many, so if you are looking for unique Coors Field Photography, you can purchase these images from my Denver collection.

I’ve been trying some experiments with my photography lately just to try something new. The below image was shot at 4 PM on a Friday evening, and was not touched at all with Photoshop. Notice anything interesting?

Colorado State Capitol Building

Brandon — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 07:19:21 +0000

The Colorado State Capitol Building, located at 200 East Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado, is the home of the Colorado General Assembly and the offices of the Governor of Colorado and Lieutenant Governor of Colorado. The building is intentionally reminiscent of the United States Capitol. Designed by Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed in the 1890s from Colorado white granite, and opened for use in November 1894. The distinctive gold dome consists of real gold plate, first added in 1908, commemorating the Colorado Gold Rush.
