When taking pictures I usually try to get the shot I want without thinking about later adjustments or cropping. In the digital world we live in it's easy to take a photograph and possibly improve on it with Photoshop and other programs. But I live in the natural world too and I prefer to just leave things alone. Of course my Nikon D80 is a digital thing, but really all it does it capture light on

Tegan and Sara played at Belly Up Aspen in Colorado on April 30, 2008. It was off-season in Aspen, the period between the end of the ski season and summer, so the town was quiet. But the club was filled with a boisterous crowd of Tegan and Sara fans, including many who had driven from Denver. I was able to take a few photos with my Nikon D80 from the crush of crazy fans on the dance floor in

In 1986 I photographed one of my favorite bands, Wednesday Week, at a place called the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California, which is on the coast between Los Angeles and San Diego. I prefer taking pictures of bands using whatever stage light there is in the club. Back then I had a Pentax ME Super and I didn't even own a flash unit for it. But the Belly Up Tavern lights just weren't quite

Drummers are the best musicians to photograph because they don't bounce around all over the place like singers and guitar players do (except maybe Keith Moon). And they're surrounded by all sorts of weird light enhancing stuff. You can get pictures with cool drumstick blurs and colored lights bouncing off cymbals. This picture is of Wednesday Week drummer, Kelly Callan, who today runs a cool

Today I went to Civic Center Park in downtown Denver where the American Friends Service Committee had their Eyes Wide Open exhibit about the human cost of the Iraq War. It's a very moving experience. Shoes and boots are used to symbolize the lost lives of Iraqis and U.S. soldiers. You can see more photographs at: Fields of Peace.

Today I drove up to Mt. Lindo, which is a cremation garden and cemetery near Morrison overlooking Turkey Creek Canyon. The east side of the mountain has the famous lighted cross that can be seen from Denver. It was a gray day with occasional rain. This tree seemed to reflect the changing mood of the seasons. For a photograph of the famous cross see Mount Lindo Cross at the

I recently started working on a cemetery project (see link in the sidebar at right) so I visited Fairmount Cemetery yesterday in the almost rain.

These were taken yesterday overlooking a South Park valley. The cartoon South Park looks a little different—it's just over the hill.

I drove up to South Park on Monday and took these two pictures from the back porch of a friend's cabin just as a storm was approaching across the valley.

Motheater live in world underneath Denver's normal music scene. They don't play in the known clubs or get written about in Westword. They don't know what a record label is for. Their shows almost seem like spontaneous happenings, spread by word of mouth and obscure Internet postings. I saw them last night at a tiny dark warehouse space on Brighton Boulevard, just beyond the railroad tracks and

Here's a picture I took at the Denver zoo for a friend who likes tigers. It looks like he's bounding off into the forest, but he's really just pacing around in his cage. This blurry picture came out accidentally kinda cool...
