This year the festival started on a somber note. After terrible fires charred the hills, a devastating mudslide tore through Montecito just weeks before the start of the festival. On a positive note, the fundraisers and camaraderie around town was heartwarming to see. Attendees wore ribbons of support throughout the festival… One of the most beautiful...
Appropriately, I was grateful for the opportunity to photograph a meet/greet q&a with the Grateful Dead band! Arranged by the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, the reception was called “Colorado Getaway: The History of the Grateful Dead in the High Country”: The three original members of the Grateful Dead—Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann answered questions and...

Built in the...

It was an honor and incredible opportunity of photographing (and listening) to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama during two teaching seminars at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The first session, “Eight Verses of the Mind” was sponsored by the Tibetan Association of Colorado and when the Dalai Lama came on stage he made a...
