Sometimes it is good to step away from my DSLRs and get back to something that seems less disposable. Last weekend I took my Fuji Instax 200 Wide to Lyons, Colorado on a Boulder Area Photo Walk meetup. All photos shot with my Instax camera then photographed with my Fuji X100s set to 1:1 format ratio. Enjoy.

A couple of weeks ago I drove out to Weld County to shoot some of the many oil and gas drilling operations, wells and machinery that has sprung up across the front range. I was looking to create some iconic images that could be used to illustrate upcoming stories about the industry and issues surrounding it. I also wanted to include a piece of the geography that would link it to my coverage area. Enjoy.
