Quick intro, I’m Chris 👋 and I’m a #photographer out of Denver, Colorado. It’s not my profession…yet.

I talk about photography and get into some tech stuff. I try not to go down the rabbit hole of more heated topics, photography can get heated enough. Anyway, here are some favorites of mine.

First Snow in #Denver

Good morning, Denver

#photography #leica
The sky over downtown Denver is glowing bright pink in the pre-dawn light Clouds over the rides at Elitch Gardens are beginning to turn pink in the early morning light Commuters blur past lower downtown as the morning shifts from blue to gold light Looking down a road with street signs directing traffic north or south as the sunrise begins

I’m beginning to suspect that taking my camera everywhere, shooting day after day and night after night, learning how light changes a scene, learning my settings, and trusting the process…might be the secret to getting better at photography. 🤔 #photography

Forgotten

Early Twilight

A crescent moon sits high in the sky as the first light breaks over the horizon A downed tree’s branches stretch out over the face of the water in the early morning light A small tree stands in the water with yellow and gold and blue gradient light surrounding it The crescent moon above gnarled branches of a tree, over the water in the early light

Story of Last Night

I took this today near Boreas Pass and this flag was whipping around in front of ominous clouds.

I only took the one photo, but it was enough. The fabric in the flag tearing, the dark storm clouds. And I desaturated the color behind the flag, to fully realize the way I feel about things right now.

Another Day

The sun rising behind the silhouettes of trees and houses in a rural neighborhood. The framing looks like the light and clouds are beaming from the large tree in the center.

Textures

Took me way too long, but my video about being a part of team Subaru at the year's Overland Expo Moubtain West is now live on my Subaru channel.

Rode with Team Subaru at Overland Expo - Here's What Happened
In August, Subaru invited me to join 25 Subaru Ambassadors from across the country for Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, Colorado. I went alone — my wife was working, my kids were in school — but I came home with new friends, new lessons, and a whole new appreciation for the Subaru community. From tackling Rollins Pass with freshly swapped Falken Wildpeak A/T4Ws, to sleeping uncomfortably in the back of my Outback Wilderness on a windy night, to joining the Subie & You Podcast for an impromptu interview — this trip was a turning point. If you’re curious about what it’s like to go solo to a big event like this, or you’ve ever felt out of place before finding your people, I think you’ll connect with this one. You can also follow me on Instagram @shdw_subaru CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Details 01:44 - Day 1: Meetup and Rollins Pass 06:57 - Day 2: Almost Bailed 09:49 - Day 3: Confidence 13:57 - Wrap Up LINKS & SHOUTOUTS 🎥 Carey Lando’s modded Outback (featured in this video): https://youtu.be/z_XLevEOD5M?si=N2V0W7fY7flLsheW&t=345 📸 People I met and featured: • @silverbulletxv — Instagram • @basaltic_outback — Instagram • @silveroo_offroad — Instagram 🎙️ Subie and You Podcast • Website: subieandyoupodcast.com • Direct link to my episode: Bonus Episode – Overland Expo Mountain West, Loveland CO #subaruwilderness #overlandexpo #subarulife
