December 27, 2019 in Best of

The ‘teens’ decade is coming to an end and I decided to look through all my photos from this past 10 years. Looking through over 29,000 photos that I’ve taken to select 10 ‘best’ is not an easy task. I decided to select one photo from the past 10 years to be my best. This is my selection:

2010: The Denver sign ascends over downtown Denver

2012: The shape of an instrument as the shape of a woman

December 22, 2019 in Best of

Another photo year has come to an end and I’m thankful to the new people I’ve met and new events I’ve photographed. This year brought me more fashion events, photographing a ballerina, a burlesque haunted house, my first semi pro football game, photographing a clothing company and a horse. 2019 was a great year and I’m already looking forward to what 2020 will bring for me photographically!

These are my best 19 photos in ‘19:

The Seven Undeadly Sins: An Erotic Haunted House

October 26, 2019 in Events

I got the opportunity to photograph a haunted house, however this haunted house has a unique theme - a burlesque house focusing on the Seven Deadly Sins. Put on by Boulder Burlesque, this was quite a unique and creative haunted house, full of performances and providing an understanding of consent while blurring the lines of fear and arousal…

The seven deadly sins, also known as cardinal sins, is a grouping and classification of vices within Christian teachings. According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth. These sins are often thought to be abuses or excessive versions of one's natural faculties or passions.

Gluttony: The overindulgence and overconsumption of anything to the point of waste. The word derives from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow.

Sloth: A peculiar jumble of notions, dating from antiquity and including mental, spiritual, pathological, and physical states. It may be defined as absence of interest or habitual disinclination to exertion

Wrath: Uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and even hatred. Wrath often reveals itself in the wish to seek vengeance

Pride: Dangerously corrupt selfishness, the putting of one's own desires, urges, wants, and whims before the welfare of other people.

Lust: An intense longing. It is usually thought of as intense or unbridled sexual desire which leads to fornication, adultery, rape, bestiality, and other sinful sexual acts

Greed: An inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs

Envy: An emotion which occurs when a person lacks another's superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it
