As we gear up for the 2009 wedding season with consults, and website updates, and photographic equipment repair (or the purchase of new stuff…yay!), we took the time to create a 2008 “best of” collection. Enjoy!

Sarah, Charlotte, Isaac, and I ventured to the Mardi Gras parade in Manitou Springs today. While Sarah and I were on the way home, we came across this accident. There is so much going on in this photo. This is when they were pulling the driver our of the back of his vehicle.

We are looking for a few reliable assistants for upcoming ’09 weddings. The weddings are coming in and we need to start preparing for them. We are looking for assistants, not photographers. Please know that this is not an apprenticeship or internship. This is a paid position (per wedding), however, this is not a mentor/mentee arrangement. We will not be teaching photography beyond what you need to know.
Applicants must be willing to work weekends (obviously).

What you see below is the culmination of about 2 months of research and drawing. I have been on a quest to not only create my family’s coat of arms, but to ensure that it was heraldically accurate. Meaning, that it followed and obeyed all of the norms of heraldic arts when apllied to coats of arms.
Most people think that you can simply look up your famly’s coat of arms from the past, and lay claim to it. However, arms were granted to individuals. No two individuals were to have the same arms. This would defeat the purpose of arms. Taking someone elses arms, regardless of relation, is tantamount to identity theft. Each individual, by heraldic tradition, is to have his own design. You can borrow graphic elements from past family member’s coats of arms, but it is to be a completely new design. Int he case of a son, he can use his father’s coat of arms as long as it is “differenced”, meanign it must have a difference.
I researched my family name as far back as I knew how to, and determined that my family crest (which is everything above the helmet in a coat of arms) was once a Dove of Peace (a dove with an olive branch in it’s mouth), so I decided to tie a little bit of history into my family’s crest and add the dove as a “Charge” (any graphic element located on the shield) on the shield.
So here it is, many many many hours of drawing.
