memorial day || in remembrance

forsale

Dan Reed, a member of the Colorado Patriot Guard and a veteran of the Vietnam War, stands watch over the arrival of 20 glass panels that will make up the Colorado Freedom Memorial on April 8 in Aurora. The memorial will feature more than 20 glass panels with the engraved names of nearly 6,000 of Colorado’s fallen soldiers. Anya Semenoff, YourHub

Memorial Day was yesterday. (As I’m sure you all know.) It’s a day set aside each year to remember those who have fallen in service to this country. If I was truly on top of things, I would have posted this then. However, though the calendar day has passed, let’s not fail to remember our veterans — those still with us or now held only in our hearts and memories — every day of the year.

Love,

-a.e.

three-for-one Friday! || YourHub photojournalism

Wowza. Could I be more absent in these here parts lately? Is there anybody out there?

From one side of the metro area to the other, I have traversed the many suburbs of Denver (et al). It’s a wonderful and wild world out there, with more options to explore than you ever thought possible. Here today are highlights from three weeks worth of work. I’m very into W words today.

mandolins and swing sets || YourHub photojournalism

It’s Friday night, 9 p.m., and it dawns on me that I haven’t shared this week’s YourHub post with you fine folk. Forgive me for not going more in depth tonight. I covered seven assignments in the past 36 hours and my brain has decided to hibernate. Which works out quite well as snow is falling this pleasant evening on the streets of Denver. So, here you are. A small sampling of images from your local photojournalist. I hope you all have splendid plans for this weekend. Play in the snow, eat some waffles, drink coffee, and meet me back here on Monday.

the K9 unit || YourHub photojournalism

One of my favorite stories to work on for YourHub thus far involved giant padded suits, a sporting arena, a Frenchman, and dogs. Lots of them. (The dogs, not the Frenchman.)

Jimmy Vanhove is a world-renowned, much sought after dog trainer. He preps dogs for sports training (that is, dog shows). He also works with police agencies and their K9 units to get dogs in tip-top shape for sleuthing. Police agencies like the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. A few weeks ago I went out to Highlands Ranch to photograph a special three-day training event with Jimmy. The cops in attendance were extremely kind and accommodating and willing to get me up close and personal with the action.

“Don’t worry,” they said as they guided me right up to their training barricade. “As long as you’re not in one of the decoy suits, the dogs are going to ignore you entirely.” An hour later, “OK, your turn! Here’s a suit just your size.”

Um….no. Thanks.
