The Colorado 3A high school basketball tournament got as far as the Great 8 Thursday before being canceled due to COVID-19 virus. It’s a shame no team will be crowned champion, but the student athletes deserve props for competing until the very end. It was a little surreal with just parents and family in attendance but the families did their best to make it exciting and “normal” as could be. I look forward to being back next year to cover the tournament in full.
I photographed the CHSAA Frozen Four last night at the Pepsi Center. I saw two good games. Valor Christian beat Regis 2-1, and in the night cap, Fort Collins beat Chaparral 3-2 to advance to the finals.

I recently photographed a wedding styled shoot at The Chateaux at Fox Meadows in Broomfield, CO. A styled shoot is a photography session using models rather than real couples. It’s a great opportunity for a photographer to try new techniques and get to work with professional models. A big thank you goes to the Chateaux at Fox Meadows for hosting the event and Dani West Bridal in Erie for lending the wedding gown. Another big thank you goes to Caitlin Quisenberry of Nxt Model and Clay Lucas at Barbizon Modeling College in Denver. They did a fantastic job and made my job a lot easier. Finally, Williams Jewelers in Cherry Creek provided sample rings, and Lafayette Florist was able to provide a beautiful bouquet.

I chose to photograph the session at the Chateaux because of the interesting architecture of the venue and the number of cool spaces to photograph in. What wedding photographer can resist a giant spiral staircase and large colonnades? I like to add elements of fashion photography to my portraits and this is the perfect venue to complement my style of photography. I love showing off the architecture to help tell the story of the wedding.
The Chateaux features a number of cool locations to photograph, including the bridal suite complete with mirror and clocks, three balconies, an outdoor courtyard, and the aforementioned grand staircase.
For the shoot, I used a Sony a7r mkiv camera coupled with an 85mm f 1.4 Sony lens. I also used two Bowens XMT 500 strobes with shoot through umbrella and a strip box.

I love traveling to southern Utah in the winter. The light has a warmth that blends masterfully with the red rock landscape of of southern Utah. One of my favorite places to visit is the Coyote Buttes in the Paria-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness. Located on the Arizona/Utah border, this area boasts some of the most interesting geology and landscapes the U.S. has to offer.
North Coyote Buttes and the Wave
A trip to southern Utah wouldn’t be complete without trying to visit North Coyote Buttes and the famous Wave formation. The trick–the BLM has set up a permit system whereby only 20 per day (10 by advance on-line lottery and 10 by next-day in-person lottery) are permitted to hike in the area. The scene at the BLM office Kanab on Friday when I showed up was surreal–193 people were vying for 30 permits. Luckily, my number got drawn and I got to hike the area with my son. What a cool experience.
The Wave is the centerpiece of this small chunk of wilderness. It is a collection of sandstone swirled in almost inconceivable directions. The area also has many other things to explore including Top Rock above the Wave and the Boneyard across the canyon from it. Due to wind and weather, I only had the opportunity to explore the Wave this time around. But I still got my $7 worth.
The Hike
The hike to the Wave is fairly straightforward despite having no marked trail for much of it. The hike starts at the Wire Pass trailhead off of House Rock Valley Road. The trail follows the wash for the first half mile and then proceeds up a sandy embankment (marked by a sign to the right stating you are entering the permit area). As you descend back down and cross another small wash, the fun begins. You have to aim for a low saddle (about 11 o’clock to your left) in a series of sandstone formations that cuts across the path in front of you. The saddle is a fairly short climb and takes only about 5 minutes to ascend. From the saddle, you can then pick out the route fairly easily. You can see a signpost at a 45 degree angle to your right. Eventually, you are aiming for the right side of the Twin Buttes that can be seen off to your right. Once you reach the Twin Buttes, the crack in the wall (a dark vertical shadow on the mostly white Top Rock) becomes visible. The Wave is located below this crack. You simply keep your route straight at this crack. The last difficult obstacle occurs just before the entrance to the Wave. You must cross a sandy wash and then ascend a steep sand dune just below the entrance to the Wave. The entrance is through the little slot canyon of wavy sandstone. The hike is just over 3 miles long and takes under 1.5 hours each way. Be sure to aim for the left side of the right most set of buttes (amongst many) on the return. These are the Twin Buttes. A fence line can be seen descending the right side of the butte.

South Coyote Buttes Paw Hole
The South Coyote Buttes is a landscape worthy of exploring Coyote Buttes is subject to a permit and lottery system established by the BLM to prevent overuse in the area. In the winter, it issues permits for both North and South areas for the following three days (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) on Fridays. I secured a permit for South Coyote Buttes for later that day after the North/Wave lottery had ended. This wouldn’t leave me enough time to explore both Paw Hole and Cottonwood Cove so I opted to explore just the Paw Hole region. Paw Hole doesn’t have the color variety of Cottonwood Cove, but it does have some bizarre rock formations that make for great photo compositions.
I parked my car along the entrance road and started hiking around 1 pm. I explored the buttes to the right of the entrance to begin with. There is no discernible path through the tall buttes but I found a low point slightly to the right of the fence line and climbed past the initial set of buttes. Back behind this area is a cool little canyon with a mini wave to it. I continued uphill to the north. The landscape was mostly uninteresting for the next 1/2 mile or so, however. I then came upon an area that featured some buttes with crazy fins on the side and a large alcove. This was fun to explore and I marked a point to return to near sunset. Next, I hiked another 1/2 mile or so to a region that had some cool box work. Finally, I stopped at the summit of the Paw Hole region. This area has a feature I like to call batwing arch. It has box work or lacy rock with a hole in the middle giving it the appearance of a batwing.
The Hike
The Paw Hole entrance is located 14 miles down House Rock Valley Road and then up a jeep road to the left another 2.5 miles. There are several areas to park off the road if you get concerned by the sandy conditions. Once at the trailhead, you have two choices. You can either skirt the buttes to the left and then finally ascend once you reach the buttes with the pronounced fins on them or you can stay to the right and pick a trail through them. Don’t go perfectly straight from the trailhead. There is no obvious route through the buttes form here. If you choose the right most path, there is a small wave and canyon behind the big butte just to your left once you’ve crossed over the first set of buttes. Then, you keep steeply climbing the next couple set of buttes. I particularly like the box work that forms a couple of Xs on the sides of the next series of buttes. At around the 1 mile mark, you can see an alcove off to the left and the previously mentioned buttes with pronounced fins. Stay to the right and climb through the brush (there is a steep drop to your left). At mile 2, you will reach a series of buttes with amazing box work. The last of these contains batwing arch. From this point, you can continue on to Cottonwood Cove. Go straight for about 1/2 mile and then veer right to miss the canyon in front of you. At around 3.5 miles, you will arrive at the first of the multicolored features in Cottonwood Cove. Explore at your leisure. Retrace your steps to the trailhead at Pawhole or arrange a guide to pick you up at the Cottonwood entrance.

Colorado earned one of its most impressive victories last night against Stanford. It started off slowly against the Cardinal, shooting just over 20% in the first half and went into the break trailing 33-22. The Buffs poured it on in the second half scoring 59 points and quickly erased a 17-point deficit. CU was aided by a scary collision early in the half when forward Evan Battey collided with Stanford’s Oscar da Silva. Battey inadvertently elbowed da Silva in the head and he had to be helped from the court after laying motionless on the baseline for several minutes. Visibly shaken, Battey joined all the players and coaches from both teams in a prayer circle at center court. Already short-handed, Stanford never recovered and the Buffs rolled to victory, 81-74.

Green Mountain took on Dakota Ridge in high school boy’s basketball at the Pepsi Center Thursday. The Rams were looking to avenge a 61-60 loss earlier this season. Things did not look good for Green Mountain early as it started slowly and fell behind 18-4, thanks to some sharp shooting from behind the arc by Dakota Ridge. Green Mountain whittled away at the lead and took the lead for good late in the second half.
Colorado looked to improve its Pac-12 record after an impressive win Thursday against #4 Oregon. Unfortunately for the Buffs, it couldn’t handle the pressure down the stretch and fell to the Beavers, 76-68. A switch to a 1-3-1 zone in the final five minutes by the Beavers proved to be the Buffs’ downfall. Colorado scored only 2 points in the time frame and watched helplessly as their 10 point lead evaporated. Colorado will look to get back on the winning track against Utah next Sunday.

I finally decided to do some snowshoeing this winter. I went up to the Brainard Lake Recreation area in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. First, I stopped at Red Rock Lake to catch the sunrise. I had been meaning to do this for a number of years but had never gotten around to it. I picked a good morning to come. The color was intense–unfortunately, so was the wind. It had to have been blowing 50 mph. It knocked over my tripod on a couple of occasions (luckily without my camera on it). The sunrise was a rosy red and purple to the east and then the rising sun lit up the mountains behind Red Rock Lake. I then hiked up to Lefthand Reservoir. The view was noice but the clouds were really rolling in by then. What a special morning.
