Cam Parsons - Shadow

I have always royally sucked at anything athletic, but nothing makes me more pumped in the winter months than basketball season. The sweat, determination, and drama are always a great way to pull me away from the bitter winter weather.

Check out this sweet highlight reel of Sprite's Slam Dunk Contest.

Shadow: Anna Keiser

What is a silhouette but a shadow that is coming forth? Both shadows and silhouettes alike are intangible. You can only touch the surface of them. While these shadows are standing and facing you, it's not the shadows that are the subject, rather, it's the light creating them.

Vision: Thomas Palos

As I run the last lap I can feel the sweat running down my face, my heart beating rapidly I lay down in the grass to take a rest. My vision is always blocked out on what is going on around me after a long run. I recover myself by sitting up and looking straight out into the distance as I wipe the salty sweat from my eyes. My vision becomes a bit more clear, but when I come to face it, there is always something blocking my vision.

Movement: Angus Hooper

I enjoy proof of motion left in dirt, paint, or other sturdy mediums.  This spill was at the entrance of an alley and the smaller prints were running for a good solid half of a block.  I look at the spill (another favorite topic of mine) and then imagine the vehicle that lost the bucket off the back, the paint splashing on the road, and the next vehicle following behind and creating this impression.  The whole image is one movement after another proving the end result, the mess left behind. 

Color - Shalia Boggs

Have you ever heard that color can affect your mood?  Studies suggest that red signifies passion, blue is calming, and yellow puts you in a happy mood.
Think of what the world would be like if we didn't have color; if everything we saw was in black and white.  Would everyone be walking around with a sad face?  Or would everyone be the same because they were none the wiser?  What would it be like to be colorblind?  These are the questions I wonder.
For this shoot, I immediately thought of flowers at the Denver Botanic Garden.  I was caught off guard when a bee did a drive-by my face.  Or maybe it was a fly-by.  I had to see what the fuss was about and saw this gorgeous giant-sized dandelion.
Dandelions were my grandmother's favorite flower, so when I saw this, I had to take a picture of it.  Partnered with my affection for bees, but only the kind with the fur that kind of makes me want to pet them, it was perfect.  It's just too bad that bees and I don't have mutual feelings for each other.

Color - Scott Kotelnicki

Naturals color - Here I have captured the remnants of last years fall against the green enriched background of this years new growth.

This shot was taken at 8:58 in the morning well past the golden hour of sunrise but because it was with in a shaded area it was able to take on the warm yellows and orange associated with sunrise.
 
A Canon 7D was used with a 60mm Macro lens f2.8 at 1/100.

Heather Zindars: FUNK

 Funk displays itself in many different forms.  This structure in the Denver Art District is funky, but also considered art.   I considered it to be a perfect place to display this funky fashion, modeled by Joshua Marable, put together from the stylish consignment shop, The Buffalo Exchange.  Each piece was carefully selected to showcase a popular style from the 80's.   Joshua successfully pulls off the funky fashion of that time period that oftentimes peeks its funky head out in current styles.  Don't forget....we all have a little FUNK in us, and its alright.

Funky: Bianca Bourgeois

When describing the term funky, things come to mind, such as music, bright colors, and soul. While walking down West Colfax, I noticed that the Hispanic culture tended to grow, and it wasn't until I reached an abandoned building and noticed bright and "groovy" colors painted on the side of the building. I was curious what the painting depicted, more specifically who it depicted. I thought the colors were beautiful and radiated a certain kind of soul. I asked a gentleman that owned a pawn shop next door, and he told me that it was created in 1995 in memory of Tejano singer, Selena Quintanilla. 
Her history as a musician is fascinating, and if you have never heard her music listen to her version of The Hustle.

Cold: AJ Anderson

      With the change of the seasons, so does fashion. The shorts get put away and the long sleeves get taken out as the days become cold.

Motion

On sunday mornings I do a lot of egg cracking at Panera Bread! I decided to just do a simple photo sequence on egg cracking. Before the egg is cracked, during, and after. Eggs are awesome. Taste good too.
