    I feel like I lived an episode of Full House last weekend. The band I have been photographing this year got the call to open for the World famous Beach Boys (the Mike Love half anyways.) Along for the show was famous TV star John Stamos who stepped in on guitar and drums for the BB's.

    The real story here is the excitement for Pressing Strings in their largest venue to date. I was fortunate to be a part of a great moment for two very grateful gentlemen. Even their ladies got in on the fun when our group was invited to jam and dance along for the finale song!

    Photographing this band this year has become an adventure in both my own creativity and fun! 

    Please take a look at the images I created of this highly enjoyable event...

    Chopping Beetles at the Property - June 2010 

    Over three weeks this summer the Pine Beetle infested trees at The Property had to come down. With Todd leading the charge, we made our best effort to eradicate those proliferating destructive little creatures. In the end 20 trees came down and are currently sealed in plastic baking in the Colorado high-country sun. Good riddance again beetles!

    Dunking and Jumping for charity, and a little fun at The Squeaky Bean.

     

    My Memorial Day 2010 was spent in the company of The Squeaky Bean crew while celebrating the restaurant's one-year anneversary. At the same time, we were raising money for a very worthwhile cause, Work Options For Women.

    With Denver's top chef's getting dunked, the "Jumping Bean" photo booth, damn good BBQ, and beer flowing like water, Johnny pulled of a great party.   

    Check out some of the Squeaky action.

    Some of my photos made their way onto the Westword's foodie blog written by Lori Midson! Thanks Lori!

    Pressing shutters with Pressing Strings

    Two trips to the Chesapeake Bay area in the past month have yielded a new connection to a great band, Pressing Strings. I have photographed this trio twice recently.

    Last night, at the Rams Head On Stage venue in Annapolis, Maryland, PS took the stage for the release of their 2nd CD titled Episodes. The show was great, the photography even more fun. I am loving my newest camera acquisition...

    Please check out two new galleries featuring Pressing Strings, here. (or click on the images below.)

    April 13, 2010 - Good things are happening!

    Hello Everyone!

    The month of April 2010 is off to a great start. My new website is live. My creative and intellectual energy is being stoked by my new educational pursuits. New work projects are starting to take off. Good things are happening!

    Later this month I'll be heading back to NYC (this time with Alicia!) for the James Beard Foundation Awards and to continue work on my new (somewhat secret) project...

    After NYC, summer should be just about in full swing here in Colorado. What will the trails ahead show me? I don't know. I'll admit, these new adventures can be scary. But, what else should I do, sit at home? No way! Adventure is part of my soul. It's why I live my life with my camera. I'm out there to greet anything that comes. 

    Sincerely,

    Daniel
