Denver

A beautiful city in a beautiful state. I definitely don't get into Denver enough, but when I do I am reminded just how well the city matches its surroundings.

  • I destroyed my second f/2.8 17-50mm lens after working with this capture. I guess I will have to let it go and part ways with the lens series. Despite my absolute and undying devotion to the lens, it has brought me most of my favorite pictures, there is a point where I should probably get the message. Time to head to the camera store and find a new one ... or perhaps ... maybe the same one if I can't let go ;-) Here is union station, another one of the penultimate pictures in Denver proper.

  • There are so many ways to look at this picture of this church and the building behind it ... but definitely we're talking about modern society overwhelming this more religious view of the world ... remember how spires on churches reach to the heavens, what can you say for our desire to build commercial real estate that dwarfs our religious symbols?

  • One of my favoritist sculptures in Denver. It's in kind of a bad setting though ... maybe when the Denver Post goes under and I buy the land, crush the building and turn it into "Paul's Vinyl (Record) Mart" the sculpture will finally have a proper setting ....

  • Here are the figures again, near the Denver Center Theater complex. This is more of a sense experience as there is music playing, so to render these pictures without a sense of time and change would be a mistake, IMHO.

  • Looking out of the denver center theater complex. I always wanted to shoot from in here but it is FAR more difficult to find a picture than I thought it would be. This is getting closer.

  • The alleys of downtown Denver are not quite like other cities, other than the smell of rotting food, this one was pretty much spotless and we didn't even have to worry about random people jumping out at us :) This is right off the 16th St. Mall.

  • These shots of Denver and the 16th Street Mall are peculiar in many ways. The lighting is tricky and the long exposures can work for you or against you, especially when you are rooted on a parking garage.

  • I call this the "Bird Tree" at City Park. This is an unabashedly HDR photograph with two stops separating the three images. The textures in the sky were fun and the way the open sky haloed the tree was too cool to pass up and fit into HDR so well I couldn't resist.
