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.

Spectrum

I am particularly happy with this image because I was standing on the shore, asking myself if I could capture the brilliant colors I was seeing. I barely made any edits, these were the colors.

#photography #landscape #sunrise
The sunrise over a lake, just before coming over the horizon. The colors go from orange to yellow to pink to purple to blue, with the crescent moon in the center.

Saw a post that said “just because you own a camera doesn’t make you a photographer.”

I don’t do this often but when the information is presented and I’m forced to think about it, I wonder why so many people care what other people are doing.

Watching these football games and every ad break is dominated by pharmaceutical and gambling ads. The one thing they have in common is they’re not good for anyone. #nfl
