Motion: Brian Howell


Can you imagine a better place to relax after a long hike? Photographers use slow and fast shutter speed’s to capture motion and to give a whole different feeling to an image. This waterfall shot with a fast shutter speed wouldn’t be very pleasing to look at, but shot with a slow shutter speed it turns into an entirely different image. The smoothing of the water gives the image a mystical look and makes you want to jump right on in...just watch out for the rocks!

Window: Brian Howell


Itʼs crazy to think that even though the window in this picture is only 2x2 ft. there is this
massive 14,000 ft mountain just sitting inside it. Windowʼs are an amazing thing that
can be interpreted many different ways. As I was trying to think of a good way to shoot
for this concept I had a ton of ideas: an eye (window to the soul), catching a
moment (window of opportunity), and countless others. But this image really stuck out to
me because we go through life almost always looking through small windows, whether
its while we are driving or just sitting at work or school. When in fact if we just step
outside the window we can experience the greatest thing ever made...The WORLD! So,
I challenge you to stop looking through the window and step out and make your dreams
come true!

Vintage - Sean Alexander



Vintage to me is something timeless, something classic that regardless of it's era can represent an entire generation and remind you of what something used to be. Luke Miller was born and raised in Colorado and it's his memories of the tall grass, lakeside parties as the summer gets closer, and the time spent just enjoying nature when he was younger that really remind him of those nostalgic memories. We spent the afternoon until sunset at a fishing lake in Lory State Park, just enjoying the weather, hiking, and talking about those more classic memories and also all the inappropriate and wild things we did when we were younger. Our conversation might have been filled with casually used curse words and offensive to the beer drinking college kids fishing (definitely offended them), but it was easily the most nostalgic and possibly stress relieving thing I've done in awhile.
