August 11, 2007 – Carded!

Carded!
40° 1’2.58″N 105°16’41.78″W
I had some other options today for the shot, but ended up with this snapshot instead. Why? This guy carded me going into a bar in Boulder. Given that I had a significant birthday this year that was well over 2X the drinking age, I had to document this.

Sitting on the tarmac at Denver International Airport. A storm had just rolled through, so we had to wait for them to reopen our jetway.

August 9, 2007 – Foggy Golded Gate Bridge

Foggy Golded Gate Bridge
37°49’45.25″N 122°28’47.09″W
Driving over the Golden Gate Bridge. Great fog that makes the tops of the towers disappear without affecting visability on the bridge.

It’s probably a bad idea to try to take pictures like this if you’re the driver, especially if you’re towing a boat. Probably, but okay today.

August 6, 2007 – Shreddin’ the Gnar

Shreddin' the Gnar
37° 9’52.34″N 121°36’59.85″W
Sorry about the name, but that’s what the rider said it needed to be called. A variation on wakeboarding, this is wakesurfing – surfing on the wake behind the boat at about 10mph.

Crashing Waves

Kevin and I spent the weekend in LA and hit Venice Beach today. This is a shot of Kevin crashing back first through one of the waves.

August 4, 2007 – Skeleton Man

Skeleton Man
34° 8’35.80″N 118°23’47.55″W
Seen in an alley in Studio City. I really like the strength of the impression made by the small number of simple lines sprayed quickly. The use of a stencil for the face is especially eerie.

There’s no way I’d head up those stairs.

August 3, 2007 – Lava Lamp

Lava Lamp
Taking a bright red Lava Lamp away from overblown colors and into “serious looking” black and white seemed fun. This was much harder than it looks. The background is a flashlight shining against the tile backing of our bar. It turned out to make a huge difference getting the tiles to show through the glass.

August 2, 2007 – Flower

Flower
From my backyard. I tweaked the color and contrast a bit in Adobe Lightroom, but otherwise it’s what I shot. The black background comes from shooting with a flash after dark.
