prints

Often, when I decide to print, I go through a custom printing house.  After trying a few different companies and getting samples of prints and papers and whatnot, I settled on White House Custom Color.  I've been using them for just over a year without issue.  They're out in Minnesota, so you know they're nice humans, and they also do a good job at a fair price.  Their turn around is quick and they can blind drop ship to your clients.  They include free shipping on orders over 12 bucks and it comes with a free tootsie roll pop.  hi-five Minnesota.

It's worth a look.  You can apply for an account
and upload your own images for their sample prints.

for fun, on a snow day

Normally

I don't do family portrait type things.  But, seeing as it's the holiday season and Cliff asked me oh so nice if I'd help him out, I decided to give it a try.  I don't do this sort of thing normally so I found it to be rather frustrating...anyways...here's the four of them.





Mac'n'cheese for Thanksgiving




I ain't even lyin'.....this shit's good!

Maxine Beuret

I've been looking at her work a lot recently.  An English photographer, she shoots a lot of interiors...spaces.  I really like it.  It's quietly beautiful and timeless.  She makes photographs I wish I would have.

My roommate got a good deal on a bone in rib roast at the grocer today.  This afternoon I taught him how to cook a large piece of beef.

New business card

Site Clean up

After a business lunch on Tuesday, before my flight back from Los Angeles, I decided to clean up and re-focus my website.  I'm starting to see my work shift more seriously into the foodstuff I began solely as a laugh.  I've also seen a shift in the way I photograph people.  

An interior designer friend of mine, Justine, is going to be launching her website www.justinedawson.com soon, and I'm going to be taking her portrait for the site.  She's a really creative and rad chick and I look forward to making sure others will see that.

Oh, I was nominated for PDN's 30 2009.  I'm pretty stoked on this.  I read this issue every year so it's pretty rad to have my images at least in the ring.  Madddlove to Maren Levinson and Redeye out in Los Angeles.  They've been more than nice to a former cook with a camera.  I'm currently putting together my selection of photographs for submission.  Then we'll see..oh life.

Back from Los Angeles

I've returned from my week of working with Mark Robert Halper.  I kept my eyes open and learned a lot, both good and bad.  I definitely took away a few good lessons on the world of photography.  For that, I thank him.

I found myself with a day off.  While LA was nice and warm, Denver is getting a bit chillychillychilly and I wanted something warm in my belly.  Mushroom risotto is a comfort food of mine.  It's super simple, it just takes time.  I'll have the recipe up on my website later on tonight....

California's burning.....I can smell the fire...

Los Angeles

I've been in since Wednesday.   We've been pretty busy with two 14 hour days back to back.  I'll write more and post some images once i get back and get a chance to breathe.
