February 1 - 7

This week I visited the magical state of Colorado. The trip started in Denver where we ate and drank our way through town (some stops en route: lunch and boozy shakes at Steuben's, a tour and whiskey tasting at Stranahans Distillery, a stop at The Infinite Monkey Theorem which was sadly closed but we'll be back to enjoy soon!, a walk through Union Station with a pitstop at the Terminal Bar, a flight at Denver Beer Company, and an amazingly delicious burger at My Brother's Bar, which also takes the prize for best website on the Internet). After picking up the rest of the crew at the airport, we all made our way to Colorado Springs where we met Logan, my new four-legged buddy. She, of course, got her own photo shoot as you'll see below. In the Springs we explored the Garden of the Gods, a stunning natural beauty definitely worth seeing.

The rest of the weekend was spent hanging around Breckenridge. That place is...wow. The 360-degree mountain panoramic view never got old. It blows me away how beautiful the world can be. Skiing was some of the best I've done too. I'll let the pictures tell the story, but they definitely don't do the scenery justice so you'll have to go visit yourself to truly take it all in!

About the project:

If you take a look through my hard drives, you'll find folders and folders of photos, most of which never truly have had their time in the limelight. These photos are the result of some random moments that I caught while my camera happened to be close by, photowalks from around town, a beautiful instance where the sunlight hit a subject just right, but none of these times warranted a dedicated blog post or feature story on my website. Many of these photos I really like, but once they're snapped they sadly get lost in the digital abyss to be found months later when I sift through my earlier work just for fun.

To bring some of these lost images to the surface and make sure they get their time to be enjoyed by others, I'm embarking on a journey this year to share my weeks in photos with you all. Not only will this give me a platform to post the random beauty I see in the world during my day-to-day, but will also encourage me to once again bring my camera with me everywhere so I can be sure to catch those visions once I see them.
