4 Years Documentting and Counting...

I have worked with the Yates family for 4 years now and counting. I love documenting this family!! Our frequent work together allows us to visually tell their story. I really appreciate how much they value family documentation. Revisiting the same family is quite a blessing.

Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret

Lannie Garret, the amazing performer and owner of Lannie's Clocktower Cabret, was nice enough to let me photograph Christopher Moon and Paulette Huff with HauntedTimes.com at her venue.
She included tickets to the show that night and I had a great time and wanted to share some images from that nights performance.

Check out the clubs schedule at WWW.LANNIES.COM

I'm looking forward to going back next Thursday for Naughty Pierre’s Burlesque & Comedy Extravaganza.

The moves she could do on that hoop while suspended in air and spinning was...impressive!

The Gypsy Jazz ensemble was amazing! Lannie obviously knows good talent when she sees and/or hears it.




"Chiki-Chicki-Boom-Boom" This woman can keep people so alive in their seats! Love it...

Haunted Times Magazine

3 years ago I photographed Christopher Moon, a paranormal investigator, for 5280 Magazine. During that photo session Christopher taught me so much history about Capitol Hill and the nature of connecting with paranormal energy.

He called me the other day and told me he and his mother Paulette are in need of promotion images. A friend of mine suggested photographing them at Lannie's Clock Tower Theater.

Check Christopher out at www.hauntedtimes.com



During the photo shoot the light would go from clear to being covered in light reflections or orbs



Christopher Moon and his mother Paulette are 5th generation Denverites

Recognition...

I just came across a few words that were written about me and my work after a show I did here in Denver back in March 2009

My show was hosted by Eric Matelski and Dazzle Jazz. Eric works hard to put on First Monday Art Talk featuring the talents, hard work and dedication of Denver's creative community.

Tags: Eric Matelski First Monday Artist Talk Shauna Intelisano

There are few people more notable in the dance world than Twyla Tharp. Tharp's book "The Creative Habit" should be a must read for all artists, not just dancers. She has one section where she discusses an artist's creative DNA and that's my focus today. There is a difference between being a photographer and being a photojournalist and the interview last night, at the First Monday Artist Talk, with Shauna Intelisano, www.shaunaintelisano.com, proves that point.

The evening started with Intelisano showing some photo shows of her trip to Cuba, a Colorado Prison, a Denver Comedian who left Denver for the bright lights of LA and the Aveda Beauty Institute. Each one, and trust me they were all completely different, told a story. The stories weren't simply "nice" photos, but works that conveyed deeper expression, often pairing the photos with text to fill in any blanks the audience may have created in their own minds.

It's obvious that her trip to Cuba left deep impressions. When asked by the host, Eric Matelski, what was the take away from the trip to Cuba, Shauna responded, "Becoming more passionate about being a free person and the 1st amendment in particular". She's grateful for having media and information which most Cubans don't have access to because of the strict dictator ship of the Castros.

The point that sparked my interest aside from her amazing photos was her desire for a stronger community. Shauna believes that the photography community should be more collaborative. Intelisano states, "It's about bringing down the ego and increasing the collaboration". That statement makes her a hero in my book. When you take her views on the art world, her eye for those amazing photographs and the ability to put her beliefs, thoughts, opinions and questions into cohesive works of art shows you that her creative DNA is to be a photojournalist and an extraordinary one.
