ColoradoBIZ Magazine ran a photo of mine in two recent articles about Denver Mayor and gubernatorial candidate John Hickenlooper. Add two to the tear-sheets….’nice to see my work in print.

John Hickenlooper

John Hickenlooper is the mayor Of Denver, Colorado and the Democratic candidate for governor of Colorado. His campaign contacted me a while back to acquire rights to photograph I had taken of him at the last Democratic National Convention. I was pleased to see that they are using my photo for both his main Bio page and for his Facebook photo.

John Hickenlooper’s campaign contacted me to acquire rights to a photo I took last year at the DNC.

‘goes to show you never know when or where a photo might be used.

DNC

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:18:29 +0000

For the past four days I have been waking up at 6am, trekking down the mountain from where I am staying in Evergreen and heading into Denver to cover the DNC. Mornings were a fuzzy blur of credential lines, endless walking and quick food. As bad as that sounds the access and visuals of the DNC were very exciting.

I have thousands of frames to sort through but there were a few favorites so far…

Invesco Field

Invesco Feild is the home to the Denver Broncos, named after one of the largest investment companies in the world and, come next Thursday, will be host to some 70,000 Obama fans supporters as he accepts his parties’ nomination for President of the United States.

This morning I attended a media event at the stadium that, with welcome speeches from Colorado Sentor Ken Salazar, Colorado Governor John Ritter and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper opened Invesco Field to the media to shoot B-roll and have a look around before the Secret Service closes it down till Thursday.

The event was announced by email at 8:00 this morning and was decidely small and low key.

Hot Air in Denver

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:57:45 +0000

The Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival started this morning. Dawn found dozens of hot air balloons strewn across the grass at Catchfield State Park just outside of Denver. I had awoken at the hitherto unknown hour of 4am to make the trek there and take some photos.

No soon than I arrived I met the very affable Scott Spencer who along with his wife Laurie have, perhaps, the coolest job in the world: hot air balloon pilots.

The Spencer were incredibly gracious, letting me take frames inside the balloon and in the basket. Scott also loaned me his 10mm fish-eye lens. I was starting to think he was pretty alright when the pièce de résistance came. Scott caught my eye and said “You want to go up”? Silly question!

Though just a tethered up and down it was fantastic…peacefully floating on air with the occasional burst of the burners for excitement.

The DNC starts in 3 days and the protests and meetings start tomorrow. As exciting as all that will be I would trade it and a lot more for a long hot air balloon ride.
