Crush – Denver

by TonyLazz

Saturday night was another meetup with the Denver Nightcrawlers to experience and shoot the Crush  experience in RiNo. The mission of Crush, as stated on their FB page is:

“CRUSH celebrates art, urban beautification, creativity, and culture by enriching the community through an arts festival like no other. Centered on empowering artists’ creativity, CRUSH is committed to reflecting and diversifying the urban landscape and the unique voice of the community.”

What amazes me is the scale and free form used by these artists for their murals. Take a look at some of what I saw that night.

Art District Friday Night

by TonyLazz

August 4th was an expanded 1st Friday in Denver’s Sante Fe Art District. The street was closed and
lined with food trucks and entertainers. After checking in at The Gallery at Studio J and re-viewing our Cuba Exhibit (it is there thru the end of August), I wandered, camera in hand, looking for people and things of interest. What caught me tonight were the musicians and their instruments.

Some are into their thing, other’s, not so much.
Lee’s hands. When he stopped playing we had a nice conversation about photography.
Young violinist.
The couple had asked me to take their picture and the inadvertent photo-bomber realized it at the last second. Caught ya!
Fastest fingers of the night.
Emelise seemed to be about 10 years old. Great repertoire and the largest crowds on the street.
Watching the viewers.

Denver Nightcrawlers February 2017

The Denver Photo Night Walk Community took to the streets this past Saturday in a loop around DAM to the Capitol, down Broadway and up the alley before Lincoln.  Lots of new faces and more Sony shooters!

If you haven’t noticed, within a given post you may see multiple versions and or treatments of the same scene. In some cases, I am experimenting with different processing techniques. Others, the same image but at different times. As an example, the Carr building below was done with traffic passing during a long exposure and without the traffic.

Denver Walkabout

by TonyLazz

Went looking for a different sunrise view with a couple of other photogs this am, and zip. The ramp we were going to shoot from that overlooked Coors Field is apparently reversed for morning traffic. So we got a little Union Station, Coors Field entrance, a train or two.

Denver Nightcrawlers January Photowalk

First night with a diverse bunch of photographers shooting a wide variety of equipment. One had an old Minolta 101T shooting 35mm film. How cool is that! We met outside the Mayan Theater on Broadway in Denver and wandered south, shooting whatever struck our fancy. Ended up shooting with a new friend, Patricia and all in all, it was a great night. Being new to street photography, I’m still figuring out how I like the feel of the processed image, so you will see multiples of the same image, treated differently.
