Colorado photographers & friends

Below are links are to some very talented photographers whom I have had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with. Every one of them has an incredible array of images, mostly from Colorado. Perhaps the best thing about them is that I consider them all great resources and outstanding friends.

BaconPhoto.com
My friend, Scott Bacon, has quite the awesome collection of images from around North America and Europe in addition to a number of travelogues you'll enjoy reading through. Scott was a tremendous resource for me when I was looking for lenses for my 4x5 camera.

DoerzmanPhoto.com
Brent is my main photo buddy who works at Qube Visual in Denver. Known amongst our local group of photographers as "Ice Man" due to his wonderful ice fracture shots. He has some nice trip reports as well where the pictures tell the story. He helped me out quite a bit when I was first learning how to shoot 4x5. We routinely go on trips together.

JodyGrigg.com
Jody is a good friend of mine and fellow coworker, so we definitely spend some time on a daily basis talking about our favorite hobby and where we're going next. You'll enjoy his his incredible and unique imagery from Colorado and the Southwest. He's definitely among Colorado's elite.

MorningLight.us
Living at the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park allows him to take many quick trips to bring back many great images. If you want to see RMNP imagery, look no further than his site.
He is the photo king of Estes. Be sure to visit his impressive gallery in town.

TadBowman.com
Tad is a coworker of mine who works about 30 feet from me. He took his photography to a whole new level in 2006, and is making incredible photographs during each trip out.

ToddCaudle.com
If you live in Colorado, you likely have seen some of his books or calendars in your local bookstore, many of which he has given to me for free. How cool is that?! Thanks again, Todd! He has an unbelievably vast knowledge of Colorado (WAY more than myself) and is a second-to-none resource if you ever have a question about what is where.
