Abstract Photography Collection

By

Under the Piers in Juneau, Alaska
Man-Made Abstract

In looking at recent work I have taken as well as some older images in my catalog, I have added an abstract section to my website. This is broken down by objects which are natural abstracts versus man-made abstracts. To start out the galleries, I’ve chosen some of my favorite pieces to start and will also add additional work in the upcoming months.

Top of the Dunes - Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado
Natural Abstracts

Please take a look and let me know what you think of this new gallery. Also, don’t hesitate to contact me via phone or email if you have any questions or special requests.

Bookmarks of Denver

By

Over the years I have created bookmarks as an alternative to a business card which feature images of Denver. I just created a new bookmark for 2019, and was looking back at the images which I have used on the images over the years. Every few years I look for an image which will match the size needed for the bookmark as you will see below.

 

2009: Evening over Denver

It was suppose to be a nice evening on the 4th of July in Denver, however a storm moved in just prior to sunset leading to a muted sunset over the city. With an art festival (my first) coming up quickly I needed to get the bookmark to the printer. This image after sunset was used for the first bookmark in the series.

 

2011: Denver Sunrise

Arriving at one of the more popular locations for sunset photographs of Denver, the sky was clear and the wind brisk. Soon the colors of the sky started to change as civil twilight passed. I noticed a few small clouds a little north of my location and thought it would be nice if those moved south to be in the image. It then came to mind this was the start of the system moving into the city over the next twenty-four hours which was to bring snow to the city. After about ten minutes more clouds started moving in and I was wondering if enough clouds would develop in the right location for sunrise. As sunrise approached at 7:29 MDT, more and more clouds started to move into the frame and then shortly after sunrise the image was captured. Full Image: Denver Skyline at Sunrise

 

2013: Denver Sunrise from Sloans Lake

In 2012 I directed a lot of time photographing around Sloans Lake just west of Downtown Denver. As September approached I knew based on the proximity of the lake to downtown it would give an opportunity to photograph sunrise over the city. Near the autumnal equinox there were fires in the western states which blew smoke into Denver giving an orangish sky at sunrise as I captured the sunrise over the Four Seasons in Denver.

2016: Denver Skyline at Sunrise

Upon the arrival at the outlook over the city the colors in the sky were starting to change color quickly as just enough clouds were in the sky for color to be present over Denver. This image was just prior to sunrise and as I have done in the past I let the buildings go to shadow for the most part in this image. Full Image: Denver Skyline at Sunrise in November

 

2019: Sunset at Denver International Airport

I found a location on the east side of the airport where I was able to capture the light after sunset one evening as the Jeppesen Terminal at the airport was illuminated against the Rocky Mountains. On the plains there was some wind that evening, and in the distance you can see the wind blowing the snow on the higher peaks in the mountains. Full Image: Sunset at Denver International Airport

If you are interested in receiving some bookmarks (at no cost) send me a note through the contact page indicating so and the address where they should be sent. I am limited on some of the older bookmarks, but will gladly send out some variations to you.

2019 Art Festival Schedule

By

After reviewing my schedule I have decided that once again this summer I will be taking a break from art festivals in the Denver as I focus on a couple of projects like the Discovering Juneau project.

I have enjoyed showing my work at the festivals and more so discussing the work with the thousands of people who have stopped by during the various art festivals I have done in the past. I will still be showing new work on this blog, my website as well as on my Facebook Fan Page.

Thank you for your continued support and see you at the art festivals in 2020!

12 Favorite Images from 2018

By

This year I traveled from Singapore to Montreal and many places in between. As I do each year I reviewed the images which I took during the course of the year and narrowed it down to 12 of my favorite images from over 5000 images taken during 2018. I also tried to highlight various areas which I traveled which you will find below.

 

The Dancers in Winter Snow

The Dancers in Winter Snow
I have photographed The Dancers a few times in different conditions. When approaching the subject I am now looking for new angles even if it is moving the location of the dancers within a few inches to the Colorado Convention Center. As the snow was falling I was moving so slightly to place the hands of them in a location on the building.

 

Wildflowers in San Diego

Wildflowers in San Diego
During a trip in March to San Diego I was able to experience the fields of wildflowers near Carlsbad. Under soft light I walked through the fields and captured the spring growth.

 

Cherry Blossoms in the Tidal Basin

Cherry Blossoms in the Tidal Basin
I was in Washington DC during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. I was a there a little past the peak but there was still plenty to capture along the Tidal Basin as well as around the city. It was a little windy one of the days I was there and noticed the movement of the water in the basin. With the cherry blossoms starting to fall off from the wind as well there were areas in which the blossoms were gathering. I pointed my camera towards these areas and let the motion from the water make the image.

 

Montreal Building

Montreal Planetarium
Walking around Olympic Stadium in Montreal I noticed the light on the metal buildings as they reflected the midday light. Working from different angles I was able to position the buildings overlapping with a nice blue sky to add to this minimal photograph of the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium.

 

Leaf in Singapore

Leaf in Singapore
Walking through the Singapore Botanical Gardens I weaved my way around on the various paths on a casual morning. I passed by a small area of plants which just had leaf after leaf stacked in the growth which caught my eye. I decided to look down on the leafs to capture the lines and patterns which they created.

 

Evening at Garden by the Bay

Evening at Gardens by the Bay
The light show at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore is a great experience. Earlier in my visit I had ventured to the path above but for the light show found a nice perspective and captured the show in addition to sitting back and taking in the experience as well.

 

Big Buddha - Hong Kong

Big Buddha in Hong Kong
When in Hong Kong I made a trip out to the Big Buddha on Lantau Island. Climbing the 268 steps to get to the statue as it looks out above you is an amazing experience. It was an overcast day but this allowed for the low clouds to set the scene as I looked towards Po Lin Monastery.

 

Tram in Hong Kong

Tram in Hong Kong
On Hong Kong Island there is a whole transit system of trams. On one day I became familiar with the system due to a lost mobile phone. As I sat in the front of the tram on the upper level I was able to capture the motion of the tram as it went through central Hong Kong around sunset. Using a longer shutter speed the movement of the tram allowed the blur to occur.

 

Oculus in New York City

Oculus in New York City
Walking around the Ground Zero area in the Financial District of New York the lines of the Oculus caught my attention. The Oculus is the new transportation hub in that area and is a great looking building. With my camera I zoomed into areas of the structure to capture the abstract shapes the lines created within the building.

 

Building Reflections in New York

Building Reflections in New York
There has been a great amount of growth and building in Hudson Yards at New York. As I walked the Highline Canal I noticed the lines of these two buildings. The glass reflecting the background building while post showing their vertical lines caught my eye in this image.

 

Leaf in the Water

Fall Leaf in the Water
While in Montreal during the fall there was plenty of fall foliage in full display. The various colors on the trees and ground were quite impressive. As I explored the city I came across a pond with leaves which had fallen into the water. With the moving water I used a slow shutter speed to capture a little of the movement of the leaf against the rocks on the bottom.

 

Sunrise in Denver

Sunrise in Denver
There is something about a November sunrise in Denver. I have photographed during this month many times and always find great color in the sky. This year was no different as I silhouetted the downtown skyline to capture the color of the sky and the lines of downtown. These lines continue to change as Denver the growth of the city remains.

 

Thank you for looking at the images I selected for 2018, and I look forward to capturing more images from Denver and beyond in 2019.
