I suppose that I am a little strange but I always get excited when I get to cover a community recycling day. Sometime the most mundane sounding assignments can present opportunities to make really fun pictures.

2011 flew by. It was a busy year. This is a selection my favorite (not necessarily my best) news, features and portraits from 2011. Enjoy.
Weather Art

Like any good photojournalist, after a good snow storm, you make weather feature pictures where ever you can. Covering the same area for the last 4 years has its advantages – you have a mental address book of all the good sledding areas. I started off going to the areas I knew would produce good pictures but I also kept an eye out for a few new unique locations along the way. It worked out pretty well. Special thanks to my Subaru for driving me through areas that my last car would have easily given up in. Click through for more pictures. Enjoy.
High School Basketball

Just one from basketball this past weekend. In case you are curious as to how I made this picture, check out this post. Look for an update to that post in the near future featuring some new gear.

What a crazy weekend. Lots to do with little time to get it done. The highlight of the weekend was covering Columbine High School winning the 5A football state title. Special thanks to Gabe Christus for letting me borrow his 300. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the game. Enjoy.
Evergreen Rodeo

Boy has it been a while since I posted anything here. It’s not because I didn’t want to. I just haven’t had the time to properly post. Anyway let’s dive into it. Last weekend was the annual Evergreen Rodeo. I only cover about 10 days of rodeo every year but I love shooting it. There is something very raw and true about the sport. It has remained largely untouched by television drama and big corporate money. The access is fantastic. Almost everything is open as long as you don’t get hurt trying to do it. Speaking of getting hurt, the rider and the horse in the first photo were uninjured in the fall.

Oh man, that’s a joke of Kenn proportions. One from earlier this week. Enjoy.
A Couple From Sports Assignments Last Week

Its been a busy weekend with several wildfires (I’ll have an upcoming post about covering that in the future) and lots of scheduling conflicts. I am also in the middle of moving to much cheaper living arrangements due to the rising cost of, well, everything lately. So anyway, I apologize for the lack of my regularly scheduled updates. Here’s a couple from sports assignments last week.
Space Operations Simulation Center at Lockheed Martin

The opening of the Space Operations Simulation Center at Lockheed Martin was quite possibly one of the most interesting assignments I have ever had. There will always be a little kid in me who is excited by the idea of human spaceflight. Being within feet of a vehicle that will carry the next generation of astronauts into space is pretty damn cool. Here are a few black and white versions of pictures I made during the opening. The last 2 frames are photos of the actual incomplete Orion spacecraft. Enjoy.
