denver colors
Made my way to the park and caught some color...
I've been working on just about everything but my art,
I think I just need to hit the restart button

foray
I was lucky enough to find myself in the hills last weekend.
A friend invited me to Mushrooms + Toast, a collaboration by Hatch Labs and Ensō Farm and Forage, which was a special event to with a single goal in mind: to spread the joy of fungi.
Mara Rose, founder of Hatch Labs, organized an event to guide a diverse group of fungus loving locals through the practice of mushroom hunting. Teachings included the basics of what it takes to have a successful foray and the habitat of different types of fungi (edible, toxic, psychedelic, etc...). Our guide to through this mycological expedition was Michael Heim; owner of Enso Farm and Forage, president-elect of the Colorado Mycological Society, and a dear friend of mine.
The hunt was a success with pounds of porcini and tons of knowledge gained in only a few short hours. As an end treat, a beautiful picnic was provided by Cured and a delicous meal of mushrooms and toast was prepared by Mr. Heim, using the freshly foraged porcinis from the day.
I can't wait to test my new knowledge on my own and I'm very thankful to have had the chance to photograph this wonderful event.

Botanic Gardens
Had a peaceful afternoon at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
The overcast made for some interesting light,
can't wait to make it back on a sunny day.

LoHi
Had a great time shooting some bands at the LoHi Music Festival.
Liver Down the River put on one of the best daytime sets I've seen in a while. Main Squeeze also put on a real fun show and I finally got to see what all the talk about Tauk was about. Also got a chance to shoot one of my all time favorites, The New Mastersounds, and man was that the stuff of dreams.

jumping in
It doesn't feel quite real.
But I'm ready,
so keep me in mind.

cheeseman
It's so nice to feel the warmth
Hear the laughter
There's a kindness in the air

building
I kept finding structure in a world that was falling apart
The best we can do is try
There is progress
∆
look back
Remember where you've been
Forget what you've lost
Prepare yourself for the next chapter

stuck
I could see a better place
It takes time to make it there
