Denver Car Photography – 2010 Subaru WRX

Brandon — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 06:13:37 +0000

Given the ever improving weather here in Colorado, it was time to get my WRX cleaned-up for the summer. I swapped-on some new Summer tires and wheels and decided I should take a few photos.

Now Selling Prints at American Furniture Warehouse

Brandon — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:15:24 +0000

Being that I primarily take photos of locations outdoors, the Winter is a pretty slow time for me as far as photography goes. However, since the end of the Fall I have been working with American Furniture Warehouse, a Colorado based furniture chain, to start selling prints of my photos in all 12 of their locations! Prints of one of my photos from the Great Sand Dunes National park are starting to trickle in at AFW locations. Here is an example of the current print for sale:

Ellie And Chris are Engaged!

Brandon — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 06:16:09 +0000

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph my long time friend (we’re talking over 14 years!) Ellie and her fiancé Chris for their engagement photos! This shoot had been a long time in the making and it was one we were both looking forward to for quite some time.

We headed up to Lily Lake, near Estes Park, to capture Ellie and Chris among some great Fall colors. We really weren’t sure what the colors would be like but it was the time that we could both do the shoot. Luckily once we made it to Lily Lake the Fall colors were in full swing! Check out a few photos from the shoot below.

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:

An Afternoon At The Denver Zoo

Brandon — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 23:38:42 +0000

I left work early yesterday afternoon as we had to pack-up all of our stuff for an office move and couldn’t do any work. The weather was unseasonably warm for Colorado and it seemed like a good day to visit the zoo! Here are a few photos I took while there:

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.
