I shot the Fantasy-themed Ominous event last night.  Here are my two favorites of Rufio and Bree.  See the whole set here, you can purchase prints or download high resolution images of your shots.

I was walking down the First Friday art walk last night and saw an empty gallery with a single table in it.  And then I saw a light painting print on it.  I looked closer and it was David Wilhelm filling in last minute.  He told me to grab my gear and shoot in the basement of the building and after walking around a bit more I did just that.

A couple days ago I got a chance to shoot an old friend, Carre Callaway, when she was in town with her band, Queen Kwong.  I got some conventional shots and I tried to mix in some 'found light' light painting.  And by that I mean using whatever lights were at the venue with whatever angles I could get without being disruptive to the show.  Three bands, three new galleries.  Check out Montoneros, The Savage Blush, and Queen Kwong!

Thanks to the team that assembled quickly last night to help me pull off this image!  This image celebrates the court decision that welcomes in marriage equality to the United States.  The name of the piece is “Love Wins (Obergefell v. Hodges)”.  All proceeds from print sales of this piece will be donated to LGBT causes.  Click on the image to view the image page and the green Buy Print link at the top.

Here are the tools used to create this shot:

When I first started light painting in serious way I shot with a photographer friend and his wife and they invited Mary along to our shoot.  We were all learning and it was an exciting day. I haven't really seen much of her in the past year but we got to shoot the other night and it was exciting to see how far my craft has progressed in a year.  Here's my fave from our set:

 I forgot to post updates about my shoots with Angelia and Cat, go check those images out if you haven't seen them!  But last night I got to shoot with Dawn so here is a front page glimpse into that one!

Here are the shots from the event!!

Aaron Haiduk is a fellow light painter in Denver who works a completely opposite schedule from me. We've been trying to get together for ages and last week we finally did.  He got a shot of me, I got a shot of him, and I imposed upon him to be the body for a concept shot I had for an event I'm shooting in early April.

Synergistic creative energy is a wonderful thing.  I recently met Robin and we've hung out a few times.  This particular time we stepped into the studio and made a few pieces of light painting art.  This is one of my favorite shots in a very long time!

Mar is one of the best artists and coolest people I know.  She's gender bendy and challenges people's preconceived notions about everything.  And, like honey badger, she just don't give a fuck.

We shot in the lower level of the artist co-op that she's involved with, Cabal Enterprises.  This is one of the shots:
