This picture was taken via cell phone in Colorado Springs. I was driving home and happened to look to my left to catch the light breaking through the clouds.
It's times like these that remind me everyday is a blessing. Sometimes you just have to slow down and embrace the moments for all that they are, because most are fleeting.
One of my best friends died not to long ago and I wanted to make something to remember him. My concept was him. The picture in the upper left is the tattoo that I got of his burial plot. I incorporated various crosses into the montage because those to me are a symbol of peace and heaven. The flowers stand for a life that had bloomed and the clocks stand for time stopped.
His name was Joseph Michael Buchanan, he was a musician, father, friend, soldier, and many other things to many people. He will forever live on in the hearts of those that loved him. This one is for you buddy.
This world can be a very unforgiving place, yet a very beautiful one at the same time. It takes a lot for someone to make it through life and yet no one makes it out alive. The way I see it life should be lived to the fullest extent. Each and every day should be enjoyed like it was your last. Compassion is key.
If everyone had compassion there would be less suffering. In turn, if there was no suffering there would be no compassion. With the good and bad intertwined I challenge myself to live a full life and see beauty in everything. Even walking along a street and turning my head to look down an alley. That slight movement into the unknown can produce an image that is both pain and beauty rolled into one.
I can't even really remember much of high school, but I do remember the anxiety and anticipation I felt for my senior year. Pictured here is Taylor Buhl, he starts his senior year this month and has the whole world at his fingertips. He is such a bright and caring soul.
It was a lot of fun taking senior portraits for him because it was so relaxed. Good looking kid right?! Good luck Taylor with all of your endeavors I'm sure you will be great!
She has the world at her feet and she is taking every opportunity possible. My sister Gabriela Maria Windey (pictured) has decided to take her many years of dance training and tryout for the Denver Nuggets dance team. It's an extremely grueling process. She has made it through two days of tryouts and cuts and will be attending the training camp this upcoming week.
She is a truly beautiful, talented person and my hero. The picture shown is one of her head shots I did specifically for these tryouts. Good luck Munchkin I know you will be great!
I recently did a photo shoot for my good friend Katie Anne Dorsey (pictured). She is a very beautiful and strong woman and those who know her, know that she is a very outgoing person. I have many shots of her from this shoot, but the one shown here is my favorite, because, it embodies everything she is inside and out.
I love creating portraits, especially when I catch that one candid picture that expresses exactly who the person is.
