"Liz Meals shares a laugh with sister Rainy (not pictured) while posing for a portrait in Boulder, Colo., on Sunday, Aug. 17, 2008"
I spent a gorgeous Sunday afternoon up in Boulder with the Meals girls. Liz is a good friend of mine who goes to DU and her mom and sister were in town for the week visiting. Liz called me in the early afternoon and asked if I wanted to join them up in Boulder for the rest of the afternoon.
I haven't been doing much lately so I was eager to just get out and enjoy a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. It has been raining all week here in Denver which was unfortunate for Liz's sister Rainy, no pun intended, and mom. When I left the house I had a sweater on because is was still overcast and unseasonably cool. I was really pleased when I pulled into my parking spot in Boulder because it was warm, sun shining and all. I quickly shed my sweater for the t-shirt underneath.
I met up with them soon thereafter and we walked CU's campus for a bit. Although I'm a Denver native I haven't been on CU's campus more than a dozen times so it was nice to walk around. I read somewhere that CU was ranked one of the most beautiful campuses in the country and it didn't disappoint.
As always I had my camera with me so I made a few frames along the way.
We made a quick stop for some frozen custard before heading over to Pearl Street to walk around and shop. There are always a bunch of crazy characters and street performers along Pearl Street so its entertaining to say the least. I made a bunch of frames that I was really pleased with so it made my day that much better. For whatever reason I haven't gone out and just shot random stuff for myself lately. My internship is just over two weeks away so it is really important for me to keep making fresh, visually appealing images so that I'm not in a slump come Sept. 2nd on my first day.
After killing some time Liz, Rainy and myself met back up with their mom and family friends for dinner at the Walnut Brewery. My beer and burger combination was stellar and dessert wasn't too bad either. I recommend you try the place the next time you're up in Boulder.
I'm headed off to Phoenix for a couple of days to visit some friends. I'm NOT looking forward to the mid-100 degree weather but I am looking forward to working that warm light that the southwest is known for and bringing home some images that I can be pleased with.
