Butterfly in the garden

A Vanessa cardui butterfly, also known as a Painted Lady, rests on a flower on Friday, Oct. 7, 2011, in the Paul Smith Children's Village at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens. Despite early cold temperatures, several bees and butterflies flew through the flowers at the garden by midday as temperatures reached the 50s.

Laramie Burlesque

Last week I had the opportunity to photograph a rehearsal for “Boudoir of Horrors,” a show by the Laramie Burlesque Troupe. I’ve never been to a burlesque show before so to photograph one – including backstage preparation shots in the dressing room – was very interesting to say the least. It was somewhat surprising to me that the girls I photographed were very cool and didn’t seem to mind a dude in their dressing room with a camera.

Ducktail Run

While I was in Indiana on vacation this year, I spent a couple days photographing at the Ducktail Run Rod & Custom Show in Gas City, Ind. The show is one of two annual events on the last weekend of September in Grant County marking the anniversary of James Dean’s death in 1955. (Dean grew up in nearby Fairmount, Ind.) It’s an incredibly visual and colorful event with some 2,000 registered cars in a large park with streets for cruising. I photographed the event for myself so I more or less wondered around and tried to find a few quirky scenes on what turned out to be a very wet weekend.

The two were joined by several families and youngsters who created everything from horses to hearts to bowls out of clay.
