Today I photographed the Air Force Academy's last day of basic field training. As many of you know and some of you don't, I did the Army version of this in high school in lieu of basketball or soccer or some normal sport. I miss it, and I will most certainly be one of those grandmas who talks about how badass she was back in the day... 

The alley behind The Gazette always has cool light. 

OH WOW ANOTHER COLOR RUN. Fun timez. 

Favorites from the first same-sex marriage licenses issued in Pueblo, Colo. 

About two weeks ago I was lucky enough to ride in a B-25 bomber. IT WAS SO COOL I WAS SO EXCITED THIS INTERNSHIP IS THE BEST EVER. 

Barr trail half marathon runner. Makes me think of the days in high school where I would do (less badass) trail runs all the time with my team. 

Portrait of a philosophy professor. He's an odd duck. Has a ton of antique furniture, but doesn't know it's history. Has a big piano in the middle of his loft, but has no idea how to play it. He wanted me to take the stereotypical "philosopher amongst giant book collection" picture and just leave, but I refused and explained that, because it was the obvious image, I would take it last if I did at all. We then had a conversation about how American culture loves the cliche in the context of my struggles with photography and taking images that go beyond what is expected. The images I like the most are frequently ones that tell the more subtle stories of a place, person or event and consequently are chosen less often for publication. 

I posted a gallery of this before on The Gazette's website, but here are my favorites.
