Trinity Brewery

Finally! I'm caught up with my photo-a-day! This is what I did last night. Before I describe the photo, lemme talk about my photo-a-day project. I'm so glad that I didn't quit taking photos, even though I was a month behind. I was beyond busy with work, and was able to take pictures, but not process them. Each day, I figured that my photos were lame, since I didn't spend much time taking them. Looking back, I had some great shots (and some faily lame ones). I would be depressed right now if I had given up the photo-a-day project... especially because I am now caught up.

So, last night. We went to the Craft Lager Festival yesterday in Manitou Springs (see the Flickr map). I found one lager I liked--Libidinous lager from Trinity Brewery. It's unhopped, and has chai and berries, or something. Really tasty, really smooth. So we went to Trinity Brewery for dinner. Their logo and labels are amazing. They have an earthy color palette. This shot is a 1/2 second exposure, and I zoomed out (starting at the logo) during the shot.

LoDo

Isabelle and I are in Colorado visiting her mom. We went straight from the airport to Wynkoop Brewery in downtown Denver. It's lower downtown, so the cool people (?) call it LoDo.

a clunker

I know the Cash for Clunkers program is successful. I know that car dealerships are starting to actually make money again. And now, I know that car dealerships are really tacky when it comes to advertising.

no U turn

My original idea was to merge 5 shots, so the traffic in the background would be busy. This one shot, however, had most all of what I wanted. I purposely left my tachometer in the frame (top right corner, blue thing). I think it balances out the frame better.

reflection

I love my new(er) MacBook Pro. I've been thinking about getting a skin for my mbp, but then I'd lose the super cool logo from the back.

the gig

Here's Alex, our bass player. The guy's got some serious bass chops. He also has a serious handlebar mustache. I'm thinking of offering a photo shoot... he could use some head shots, and I think it would be lots of fun. I've also need to take more photos of people.

Meet Mike. He's a drummer. This is Mike taking a break during a Francis Band rehearsal. Mike is smiling because he got a new car (Honda Fit).
