Standing Apart
My coworker Ana and I spent nearly a week photographing the fall colors in Colorado. She was in town from Slovenia and decided to extend her trip while I tagged along. The first part of our trip was spent near Breckenridge.
A few years ago I had met Nick Selway who was living in Hawaii at the time and photographing the volcanoes and their hot lava. He moved to Brek to open a gallery so I reached out to him and he took us for a beautiful morning of photography. After photographing a colorful sunrise over some snow-capped peaks we set off to find more intimate scenes before the sun ruined everything.
One of the things I've learned from photographing with David Thompson is to always follow the light and make due with what's being given. Although the sun was up, it wasn't hitting all of the hillsides with direct light, so we spent about 2 hours searching for intimate scenes with the telephoto lens. We came around the bend and saw this group of Aspen trees starting to erupt in yellow and orange color. When I saw the one lone tree I screamed to Nick to pull over and grab our cameras. A fire had devastated the area a few years earlier and only a few trees survived but they popped with color before the sun bathed them in blinding light.
