So Bulleit Rye (a really delicious rye whiskey) can hardly be found here in Denver right now but it just so happens that there was a wonderful dinner hosted by Interstate Kitchen and Bar here in Denver that I got to attend in its honor.  The food at Interstate was very good and and bourbon complimented it well.  With that said, let’s get to the photos.

Awesomely done soup of the day

For the past few years Crown Royal has been sponsoring events at venues around the National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO.  I did not know this until fairly recently but cowboys love Crown Royal (at least some of them do).  Crown has Stock Show themed giveaways and the girls dress up like cowgirls.  All around fun for all.

So after a long wait the Cue the Epic night Facebook page has gone live, I know, that’s what the title said.  I’ve been telling all the random people in the bars for months that their photos can be seen on a billboard in Times Square and will eventually be on Facebook.  Well, today is the day: it can be found here: http://apps.facebook.com/epicpics/ and you can vote on and submit your own Epic Pics.  Right now 8 of the Top 10 were taken by yours truly and I’m pretty excited about that.  I’m sure that will change very quickly as people start submitting their own but I’m happy about it.

Go, upload, vote, have fun.

8 of 10 isn't bad, sadly they stretched most of them weird, they were sized for the billboard and stretched for the website.

I was recently hired to take some shots at the Tanqueray Ten 10-year anniversary party here in Denver.  The event was held at Colt and Gray near the Highlands.  Mixologist Sean Kenyon hosted the event and brought his specialty to the party serving delicious cocktails to party.

Here are some photos I snapped while there:

Happy Day of the Dead and Happy Halloween!  To celebrate this year other than going out to the Alice 105.9 party I got to take some photos for a Jose Cuervo party.  The event, Subterraneo, took place on Tuesday this last week and was a huge event, place was packed and going crazy (on a Tuesday mind you!).  It was held at the Church here in Denver, CO and the place was packed.  Skeletons, face painting, good music and DJing, creepy face projections, low riders, 12 foot puppets, oh and free booze for all, absolutely killer.

Some of my favorite photos from the event…

This was the creepy projection and the shadow people on the couch

So one thing about doing photography for work in your freetime is that sometimes you work all day and then you have to go work.  It can be tough, especially when you have a 2.5 hour drive to get there, really kills the whole day, luckily I enjoy the work.

So Ron Zacapa, a 23 year old premium rum from Guatemala, had an event up in Beaver Creek.  It was an event to celebrate a successful promo / winter season up in the mountains that had many promotions.  A lot of people from the resorts and bars around the area were invited to sample some cocktails, have some food and just all around have some fun.  They had giveaways, a photo booth and a DJ.  All around a fun night for everyone.

I luckily carved out a space at the bus station in the kitchen to store my equipment, I carried with me my 5D2, 24-702.8, 70-200 2.8 , 50 1.4, and my 580EXII.  Happy that at any given time I just had to have the camera with the lens and the flash.  I also carried my flash bracket with me but when I was setting up my TTL cable broke, the part of the cable that mounts into the bracket was on a swivel, no good I the flash can rotate in any direction it wants to.  I had to skip it as a result and am now in the market for a new TTL cable.
