They ca— OK, you get the idea.
Six times they looped around this circuit.

bright lights || Colorado baseball
I would have taken a picture of the field at the Rockies/Phillies came from tonight.
But what was going on down on that field was nothing short of dismal.
I don’t want to talk about it.
What was fun was being in the stands, eating hot dogs with good friends and admiring the bright, shiny lights.
What? I like shiny things.
Also, the splotch of light and specks in the upper right quadrant of the frame looks a bit like a picture of a far off galaxy taken with a fancy NASA satellite camera.
Sadly, my fancy phone, while certainly fancy, is not that sophisticated. (Make an app for that, Steve Jobs, I dare you!) It’s just a result of the filter used on the fancy phone photography app.
But a girl can imagine right?
These are the things I think about late at night, after a long day, while finally unwinding at home.
And after this kind of multitasking last night…
(Two-handed, two-computer editing for the win!)
…can you really blame me for some rambling imaginations?

the underground music showcase || Editorial photography
As I mentioned, I photographed the Underground Music Showcase (UMS) for the Denver Post this past weekend.
If you can imagine it: 300 bands, 24 venues, 4 days. Add it together and it equals a rather crazed experience.
When jammed onto just a handful of Denver’s blocks, it also equals the closest you’ll ever get to experiencing the hustle of New York City in Colorado.

the Civil Wars || Boulder concert photography
Not far into last night’s show, Joy Williams turned to the crowd and urged them to join in.
“We always feel like we’re just playing in a living room, so sing as loud as you like.”
That spirit of life-long camaraderie infused the entire show.
I dusted off my “concert photographer” hat last night and headed up to Boulder to shoot the Civil Wars at the Fox Theatre for Reverb.
I think we’ve talked before about the Civil Wars and their first album that came out a few months back. I’ve enjoyed their music for some time prior to that release, and was excited to see them perform live.
It was a pleasure to witness and take part in.

80,000 || Weekend roundup part two
This weekend, I became acquainted with Bono and the U2 fellas.
It was just me, the band…and 80,000 of my closest friends.
There’s something humbling, exciting, thrilling and a little fear-inducing about being surrounded by 80,000 other people who are all doing the Wave, stomping their feet, and rocking out in a football stadium.
Rocking so hard, let me just say, that you could feel the floor beneath you shake from the uproar.
Never before in my life have I prayed so fervently that a group of engineers knew what they were doing.
