March Fourth Marching Band 10/27/12

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on November 20, 2012

Hailing from Portland, this band is about as original an act as I have seen in a long time.  They bring to the stage a combination of style, genre, and performance art unmatched in my concert experience this year.  At times, I felt like I was front and center for a parade, the next minute […]

Musketeer Gripweed – Halloween Gasoline

Posted by Jim in Artist Portraits, Concert Photos on November 20, 2012

Musketeer Gripweed properly blew out the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins in celebration of Halloween, and I was there to document it.  They are an exciting group who embraces the freedom of performance art that the stage brings, leaving reality behind.  The band was joined by Gary Downing, father of the band’s lead singer, Jason.  […]

The Mile High City

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 20, 2012

I have really come to love the city of Denver and am proud to call it my home.  With all its unique architecture and rich culture, capturing it in a single, frozen frame in time and yet still show all its beauty is a tall order.  So, this set of images is aimed at that […]

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 19, 2012

Once known as the “Garden of the Titans”, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Park is located in Morrison, west of Denver in the foot hills of the great Rocky Mountains.  Red Rocks is on many music lovers’ bucket list for a good reason; it’s a magical place.  It is hard to describe the effect the ambiance […]

Dick’s Sporting Goods Park

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 19, 2012

Not one of Colorado’s most glorious venues, Dick’s Sporting Goods Park is located east of Denver in Commerce City.  The industrial-park surroundings of the area are a stark contrast from the natural beauty all around us here in Colorado, so this place will never rank very highly for me.  But that said, the structure is […]

Bluebird Theatre

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 19, 2012

Located on East Colfax Avenue, the Bluebird’s small but ample size makes it a great place to see a show.  The place is small, but has a newly revamped sound system and sounds far better than any other small theater in Denver of equal size.   I give it a soundy rating and highly recommend […]

Colorado Convention Center & Wells Fargo Theatre

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

Located under the same roof as the Convention Center Complex, the now named Bellco Theatre has advantages over other venues, like a light-rail stop at its front door and being set in such an architectural marvel.  The inside of the theater is equally well-placed.  It has a steep, tiered-off seating arrangement set into a big […]

1st Bank Center

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

Once a sports complex, the now renovated entertainment venue is the perfect place to house a large audience for a big concert.  The building was adapted well to the needs of a music venue and, for a large room, is not a bad place to see and hear a show.  The venue is also in […]

Pepsi Center

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

The Pepsi Center, or “the Can” as the Denverites call it, is home to 3 professional sports teams and hosts most large arena level concerts, too.   Being the home of the Nuggets, the Avalanche, and the Mammoths, it is hard to believe there is any time left for concerts.

Cervante’s Masterpiece Ballroom

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

Located in historic Five Points, this venue is one of Denver’s most relevant clubs.   Their ballroom has had legendary artists grace its stage over the years, and still today has some of the best mid-level talent coming through all the time.  If you want to see the next big thing you can be sure they […]

Coors Field

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

Being such a noteworthy landmark and given my obsession with shooting all the major Denver sites, Coors Field could not go unphotographed long.  Also being such a big place stuffed into the tight confines of the LoDo neighborhood, I had a tough time finding a full building angle to shoot, so instead I chose the […]

Denver’s Performing Arts Complex

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

Denver’s Performing Arts Complex is located in the heart of the theater district.   The complex is residence to some big names in performance art like the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the Colorado Ballet, Opera Colorado, and of course the Denver Center for Performing Arts.  The massive dancing sculptures have always beckoned me, and on this warm […]

Sports Authority Field at Mile High

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

Home of the Denver Broncos, Sports Authority Field at Mile High is a beautiful piece of architecture that has beckoned my photographic efforts.  Let me just say now for clarity, being a native of western Pennsylvania I am a devout Steelers fan, so the attraction is more about the conquest of photographing such a whale […]

Fillmore Auditorium

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

Bill Graham’s legacy lives on through his trademarked Fillmore named venues, and Denver is host to the largest of them all.   The Fillmore Auditorium, located on the corner of Colfax and Clarkson, holds the title of largest general admission venue in Colorado.  Despite its vast size compared to any of the other Fillmore family venues, […]

Ogden Theatre

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

Located in the heart of Colfax Avenue’s hustle and flow, the Ogden Theatre stands as one of the best mid-sized venues in Denver.  With a state of the art sound system and the room’s natural acoustic attributes, it is certainly one of the best places to catch a show, not to mention that the layout […]

Gothic Theatre

Posted by Jim in Earthscapes on November 18, 2012

A ride down south Broadway will find you at a great small club known as the Gothic Theatre.  With its art-deco interior, great sight lines, and ample sound system, the Gothic is a great place to catch your favorite touring band.
