Photo of the Week

I have decided that at least once a week I'm going to pick out a photo from the archives to put up.

This first one is a shot I found going through tons of old family photos a while back. It is my dad... short shorts, high socks, shirtless, mustache, and a camera around his neck. (Dad- if you see this, please don't hate me). I'm not really sure what year this is from, but I'm pretty sure it was before I was born. I couldn't resist.

This part of the drive was much for interesting than driving through the flat Mid West.

I've never seen ATVs stacked on the back of a truck like this. How the hell do they get them up there?

Road Trip- Day 2

The first night I pulled into a rest stop, slept in my car for 2 hours, and started driving again around 3 in the morning. My destination was my grandmother's house in Denver, CO.... 1,080 miles away. Most of my day was spent driving through Iowa and Nebraska, incredibly boring and flat states to drive through. I would drive for hours and it looked like I hadn't gone anywhere. I made it into Denver around 7:30 PM. Here are some shot from day two.

The coolest part about Iowa.. these Danish windmills. They were HUGE

There were fields full of them as far back as you could see.

Breck with the Burton Groms

I was in Colorado for a week around Easter and happened to get invited to tag along for a Burton Grom shoot by Burton photographer, Blotto. I rarely get to see Blotto during the winter so I couldn't pass up an opportunity to hang out with him for a bit. Since he was shooting photos I figured I might as well get some footage of the kids during their photoshoot in the Breckenridge park. A majority time we were rolling around with a very large crew so it was definitely pretty entertaining. The kids killed it. Here is a few photos and a video I put together from the two days I spent with these guys.
