Having settled in Denver, Colo., after years of living and working as a professional photographer in New York City and San Francisco, I spend my days (and quite a few nights) taking pictures. My love for photography is more than a passion; it’s an obsession, and I’m constantly in search for the next story I can tell through my camera lens.
This is the latest offering from Del Toro Guitars called the Del Toro Corrida model. All handmade from a single piece of alder, quarter sawn birds eye maple, an ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays. The electronics consist of 2 TV Jones Powertron humbuckers wired into a traditional volume, 3 way, and master tone circuit. The bridge is a Jason Schroeder wrap around style with locking studs. The machine heads are Gotoh Delta series with an 18:1 ratio. Finished in gold-top gold and nitro lacquer.
This is a sample of what I photographed recently of Helen Rudy’s glass art. She is a local artist producing beautiful works. Check out her new website at http://helenrudyglass.com/ .
Sarah Parrott and Jimmy Connell had a wonderful winter wedding in Breckenridge, Colorado. They came all the way from Columbia, Missouri. Elizabeth Ross from Element Events produced a beautiful event. The Lodge and Spa in Breckenridge hosted once again a stunning wedding. Joy Petty of Blush skincare did wonderful makeup on Sarah. Thank you so much Sarah and Jimmy for a wonderful opportunity to photograph a beautiful winter Rocky Mountain wedding!
This guitar was conceived by Hexx Henderson, long time lap, pedal steel player for many famous artist, not the least of which was David Allan Coe. Together with Brian Dechebach of Del Toro Guitars in Denver, Colorado this amazing guitar came to reality.
specs:
• body- Full slab of Honduras mahogany with a 1/4 inch maple cap. Chamber on both sides for weight and tone.
• neck- Single piece of hard maple set into body separately. A rare feature on a lap steel. A throw-back to early Gibson lap steel guitars. The fingerboard is made from ebony and is bound and fretted with standard .25 scale nickel frets, also an almost unheard of feature on a lap steel guitar as they only serve as position markers, but are very visible to the player.
Another unique feature is the “six in line” Peghead, that is, all the tuners are on the one side of the headstock. This allows the player easy access to all the tuners, as they are facing him.
The guitar was striped by Rody. A 40 year veteran of hot-rod pin striping, he has been featured in many Hot Rod magazines and his work puts this guitar over the top!

Maurya Kerr, choreographer and friend of mine from San Francisco had a show at Redline gallery in Denver, Colorado in conjunction with Ballet Nouveau Colorado. It was awesome to see her again. The following photos are from a dress rehearsal from the show A Shared Experience.
