Winter X Games Aspen Colorado 2019 →
This is a video from one night of X games in Aspen Colorado. You put a few thousand people together and it's people watching paradise. January in Aspen CO is usually really cold and so was this night. Like any huge event it's a fun crazy mix of this constant line buses loading and unloading, security people directing the crowd, and people sliding around on snow. Pretty much it's a ton of kids having fun at the concerts and the sport events. People were really nice to me some were more messed up than others but who hasn't been there? Aspen is super proud of the event and supportive of the crowds of kids. We hear a lot of complaining around town but since I was filming a little on the early side of the evening it was obnoxious yet. I'm sure the stories from Aspen at 2am are quite different. I'm an old guy but I love the kids and thought it would be great for people that don't go to the event to get a taste of whats going on. When you're at that point in your life that you've been to a million huge concerts you lose your taste for the crowds and lines and noise and cold. But if you're just starting you notch your belt with the big events I imagine it's one of the best out there. I met a lot of people from Denver/Boullder but some were from Arizona and one kid from Maine.
Big Sur California
I’m working on stock photography of the California coast from Big Sur down to the San Diego area. It’s a break from Aspen photography but I think it will sell well. My photography base is Aspen but I make a couple trips per year to photograph the ocean, coastline, and even high desert.

Aspen Portrait Project
This is a project from 2004 in which I photographed people in Aspen, Colorado. The idea was to photograph people that have made an impact on the town. I started with a few people I knew and asked them to recommend others. The shot list could have included dozens and dozens of people. Luckily, I have these because, of course, by 2018 many of them have passed away. I imagine it is time to do this project again!
Aspen Photographer Goes to the Beach
Here are several images from my recent trip to LA. I wanted stock images of yoga/meditation for publication both in LA and Aspen. I found the perfect model (smart and fun to work with) and a gorgeous sunset. Yoga and meditation are popular topics for social media platforms, magazines, etc. This imagery sells well for that content.
Vignettes of the desert
This short film is from the fall trip to Arizona. You'll see the quiet beauty from the desert landscape. It's a break from my Aspen Colorado photography and I get to stretch out with moving pictures. This was filmed in two locations both east and west of Phoenix, AZ.
