Tony Gallagher Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

I love music. I play music with people as much as I can. I'm a
photographer by trade, and I love that too. I like to ride either one
of my two vintage Schwinn bikes around town or the Ducati 750
Supersport instead of my cars any day of the week. If you see me on the
streets say, 'what's up T-Bone!'

Gargoyles in Denver

Gargoyles were viewed two ways by the church throughout history. On one hand gargoyles were used to assist the Church in conveying messages to the common people. Due to literacy being uncommon, images were the best way to constantly convey ideas. Gargoyles were used as a representation of evil. It is thought that they were used to scare people into coming to church, reminding them that the end of days is near. It’s also thought to give them some assurance that evil is kept outside of the church’s walls. They were also used to integrate parts of pagan worship into the Church to make conversion to Catholicism easier.

On the other hand the medieval clergy viewed gargoyles as a form of idolatry. In the 12th century a church leader named St. Bernard of Clairvaux was famous for speaking out against gargoyles.

Riding High (Never Summer may have caught the perfect wave in the snow sports industry) ~ a Westword story

Tim Canaday keeps an old wooden snowboard in his office at the Never Summer Industries factory as a reminder. The board, fit for a history museum, has rubber straps for bindings and metal fins bolted to the tail and midsection, to keep it steady in deep powder. He constructed the board in 1983 for his tenth-grade wood shop class at Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, and he’s been thinking about how to build better and better boards ever since.

Read the whole story at the Westword.

The wedding of Michelle and Jesse Clark ~ Copper Mountain, Colorado 1/10/2010

The wedding of Michelle and Jesse Clark on January 10, 2010 up at Copper Mountain was a beautiful day. The weather was sunny and crisp. We had the opportunity to go to the top of the mountain after their ceremony at the base chapel to take photographs. Michelle was fearless and didn’t even put on her coat on top of Copper Mountain. It was COLD up there. Congratulations guys!
