Erik Husman Music


My friend, former co-backcountry guide and now co-music maker Erik Husman asked me to shoot some portraits for his new album. "Archaeology of the Let Down" will be recorded live at the Walnut Room in Denver this Thursday, March 24, and yours truly will have a guest singing appearance on about 3 songs. Yay!
The Changing Colors from Manitou Springs, Colorado will be opening.
You can visit Erik's page on Facebook or listen to some music on his MySpace page.
This Golden, Colorado local defines his genre as "Western Freak Folk." Rock on, Erik.
Inspired by his music, we made some portraits that reflect an old-timey sound, melancholy mixed with celebration. I chose to desaturate some of my favorites and turn some to black and white to turn the viewers focus towards the emotion of the images, rather than the color. (Don't worry, purists. I also gave him all the originals in full color).

With the dog. Awww.

String Cheese Winter Carnival!


Last Saturday, I shot The String Cheese Incident's dress rehearsal for their Saturday night concert at the 1ST Bank Event Center in Broomfield, Colorado. Why shoot a dress rehearsal for a band, you ask? Because during the beginning of second set, they busted out with a crazy theatrical performance featuring aerialists, bungie jumpers and stilt walkers! That's right. You hear me. And yes, it was epic.
