Eric leaves for college tomorrow, and Kevin is off to stay with his aunt for a few days. This was taken during the goodbye. A special photo for me because of the time and subject.

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.

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.

July 26, 2007 – Self Portrait

Self Portrait
I went into the garage to put away the lights from the Bolex camera shoot (7/24/07) and felt inspired to use them again. That, and the fact that all the other pictures I shot today sucked so I was desperate. I liked the idea of holding one of the lights to help convey that it was a self portrait and had some dynamics to it.
