I am excited to be taking part once again in the Road 2 Victory bicycle ride to benefit the Davis Phinney Foundation on Sunday, May 23rd in Boulder. Hope to see lots of you out there, looks like it is going to be a great day!
Odette & Todd Engagement
Spring is certainly in the air and as the old adage goes, so is love! I recently had the opportunity to do an engagement shoot for a wonderful Boulder couple. Odette & Todd will be getting married this summer in New York and wanted some engagement photos around town to share with their family. I happily signed on to help them out and we had a great late afternoon shoot a few weeks back. Congrats again!

Piper Super Cub
So my parents came out from Indiana last week for a few days to visit and we went looking for a new adventure. Our typical routine of hitting Pearl Street in downtown Boulder, hiking and shopping at McGuckin Hardware was getting a bit played out. So whilst we were enjoying a tasty breakfast at Le Peep, we watched skyward as gliders from Mile High Gliders in Boulder fluttered about in the cool morning air searching for thermals. My Dad and I looked at each other and instantly decided our next move. Gliding!
As a commercial pilot with more than a few thousand hours in the logbook, taking a glider ride is one of several things in aviation that I had yet to do. So the excitement was palpable and we were ready to go! Needless to say the experience was amazing and I very much look forward to gliding again soon. I didn't bring the camera along on the glider ride but did manage a few fun shots. I loved this shot of the tow plane about to go to work and tow my Dad & his instructor up, up and away.
Vancouver Dogwood
I was up in Vancouver recently, unfortunately weeks after the Winter Olympics had already ended. I did manage to get out of the hotel for a bit and explore around. One of my favorite pics so far is from a dogwood tree I found nearby that was in full bloom already. I am probably allergic to it, but nonetheless a pretty tree and fun shot :)
Recycled Business Card Holder!
So some of you may know that my other business is making lamps out of recycled bicycle parts. I had been trying to think of some new projects for awhile to expand the recycled bike art side of the house and needed a new business card holder for my Amante Coffee exhibit. Well, the two ideas came together and low and behold I came up with my new recycled business card holder! I used an old cog from a Shimano bicycle cassette and a bit of spare hardware to fasten it altogether. Stylish, recycled, sustainable, functional and dead sexy all at the same time!
I will probably have these for sale pretty soon over at Treeline Designs, but for now a nice picture of the prototype.
