Healin' Wheels!

On Saturday, I had the chance to photograph the inaugural Healing Wheels Tour, a charity ride that benefits the Inner City Health Center here in Denver. While I was very excited to shoot this, I wasn't all that pumped for the 5am wake up call. Ugh! To make matters worse, on Friday night I went and saw Chase Jarvis, a well known photographer, give a lecture called "The Consequences of Creativity" THEN came home at 9:30 and HAD to watch the Red Wings-Penguins Game 7 that I had recorded. What was I thinking?

Anyway, the good thing was that the lecture got me all juiced to make some great photos and I've posted a few below. It was a great event and it's always nice to help a good cause.

.....and the Penguins won!!!

Enjoy the pics...

Brad Hawpe, a smoke machine, and too much wind!

Last month, I had the opportunity to photograph Brad Hawpe for the cover of the June 2009 issue of Rockies Magazine, which also doubles as the game program at Coors Field for the month.
The last time I photographed Brad, it was a last minute thing and we did a pretty ho-hum cover that wasn't all that exciting. So, this time, I wanted to dress it up and we did just that by renting a smoke machine and playing with that.
We shot this in front of Gate D at Coors Field which doubles as a wind tunnel which made things a little more difficult than we hoped. But thanks to some expert smoke fanning moves by my coworker Ryan Mckee, we pulled off a great shot.

Enjoy!
