XFactor1 and Boy Hits Car at Herman’s Hideaway, Denver, Colorado 050913 by Jason Claypool
It has been so long since I discovered Boy Hits Car, and have waited and waited and waited for a tour and a Denver date. Well, my wish finally came true, and they came to town on the Taproot tour, and just tore up the Denver crowd at Herman’s Hideaway on 050913. I emailed the [...]
Moreland and Arbuckle at the Toad Tavern, Denver, Colorado 042413 by Jason Claypool
It’s always great to see the guys when they pass through Denver. Last year, I wasn’t thrilled with the Toad Tavern’s lighting, but for some reason, the blue light really worked and Dustin had a decent spotlight on him this time. Too bad the show didn’t get hyped up more on 103.5 The Fox, but [...]
Easter Sunrise Service 2013 at Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison, Colorado 031313 by Jason Claypool
What a great event! Over 11,000 turned out to what is normally a 9,000+ capacity facility for this year’s Easter Sunrise Service, and the beauty and grace of Red Rocks Amphitheater gets a bit of the credit for that. The weather was perfect with no breeze, clear moonlit skies, and a steady 30F until the [...]
Adam Carolla Mangria signing at Applejack Wine & Spirits, Denver / Wheat Ridge, Colorado 030213 by Jason Claypool
Adam Carolla stopped by Applejack Wine and Spirits for a signing for his new Mangria line of sangria, before a show on the Adam and Drew Tour at the Paramount that night. I’m guessing there were about 500 people in line, each one of them Adam’s biggest fan from his work on KROQ as Mr. [...]
Rickoli’s Brewery Grand Opening 112812
What a great new nanobrewery, and it’s so close in Wheat Ridge! I think it’s going to be my new favorite beer hangout! I got in touch with Rick, and knew how much this town was rooting for him as he strikes out on his own. He was happy to show me around the works [...]
Winger at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood, Colorado 120112
Well, I’ve seen Winger 4 times in my life, and this had to be the best, because I was taking pictures as a pro! Who would have thought that the band that got grief for being a bit cheesy so long ago is really the last band standing with the most musical talent, the least [...]
Great American Beer Festival GABF 2012, Denver, Colorado 101212 and 101312

Anthony’s Chevelle, Loading Up For Bandimere, Denver, Colorado 101312
Anthony’s Chevelle 101312 by Jason Claypool. I haven’t gotten to play around with shooting a car for a while, and I couldn’t help myself catching these shots while Anthony was loading up his car for a race the next day at Bandimere! Anthony showed me around his garage a few weeks ago, and I was [...]
Skid Row at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood, Colorado 081812
I love the Grizzly Rock more and more with every show! It is just the perfect fit for any rock show in Denver. The lighting and sound are just stellar, and complemented Skid Row so perfectly. Seeing Rachel Bolan, Dave “The Snake” Sabo, Scotti Hill, Rob Hammersmith after all these years, sounding as great as [...]
Hairball at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood Colorado 081012
Hairball at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood CO 081012 Another great show at the Grizzly Rock! Cinderella bailed on Denver the night before, and I was supposed to grab a few promo shots of the club for a graphics company. Corey Guildner was bummed at the band’s shenanigans and the thought of having no headliner for [...]
Paradise City and Warrant at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood, Colorado 072812
This was my first time shooting at the Grizzly Rock! It was so great to see an awesome new venue in the same building as After The Gold Rush and Hollywood Legends, where I saw so many great rock shows back in the day. Great staff, great drinks, GREAT SOUND, and great lighting…thanks to Corey [...]
Some favorites from Red Rocks Ampitheater, Morrison Colorado
I have a few shots that I have been thinking about lately from the last few years that have not made it onto this site, until now. No matter whether it is attending a concert, an Easter Sunrise Service, watching Scramble Campbell paint, running the stairs with a hundred others on a weekend, or just [...]

Pena, Native Daughters and Russian Circles at the Bluebird Theater, Denver, Colorado 070212
What a blast! It’s been a while since I’ve seen a hard show, and it was great to catch up with Nick Sullivan from Pena again, and catch two other bands I had never seen before. The dueling drummers from Native Daughters and the heavy grind from Russian Circles just blew me away. Make sure [...]
Crawfish at The Yabby Hut, Lakewood, Colorado 031512
Pardon the diversion…I couldn’t resist a quick snap and a personal post tonight! That’s 3 lbs of crawfish, spread on a table and steaming hot! We were thrilled to find this place today, and couldn’t believe we hadn’t even known that a cheap and very tasty crawfish shack had been open a few minutes from [...]
Coffee Cupping at Noa Noa Coffee in Golden, Colorado 033112
This was a lot of fun. Rick Myers and the owner of Noa Noa set up this cupping, and invited the roaster to come in and educate the masses a bit about four different coffees he specializes in, and some different techniques and equipment. As a HUGE espresso fan, it was so interesting to find [...]
Moreland and Arbuckle at the Toad Tavern, Littleton, Colorado, 033012
Shooting this show worked out so perfectly! I love Moreland and Arbuckle! I thought that I would email the band, and get things approved ahead of time to photograph the set. Well, that didn’t work out quick enough on my end, and our friends Sean and Amy were definitely going, so I thought we would [...]
Real Estate Shoot for Keller-Williams Agent Rick Myers 032412- 1531 Salvia Ct., Golden, CO 80401
Two real estate shoots in one weekend, plus my daughter’s volleyball game…that’s a shutter finger and Photoshop workout! This house has to be the most stunning I have shot, yet! Seriously, it was as beautiful as any model home, only with more amazing furnishings. I can’t wait to see how quickly this one sells! Make [...]

Real Estate Shoot for Keller Williams Agent Rick Myers- 2620 S. Federal Blvd. Unit H, Denver, CO 031112
This was a quick shoot for Keller Williams Agent Rick Myers over the weekend. What a cool little place! I had no idea how such a classy little layout, with a garage, even, could be tucked in the neighborhood just down the street from Lincoln High School and my favorite pho place, Pho 95. I [...]
Ghin Asian Blend & Sushi – A Night Out With Friends in Lakewood, Colorado 071611
I had a great night out at Ghin Asian Blend & Sushi in Lakewood, Colorado, with Rick and Kristin Myers, and some friends and clients he has worked with lately. Rick arranged a sushi instructional night with Mike at Ghin to teach us all about sushi and some asian/Hawaiian cooking techniques. I can’t recommend this [...]
Denver Botanic Gardens Portrait and Macro Session 111311
I visited the Denver Botanic Gardens in late Fall/early Winter for a Portrait and Macro Photography session. I can’t wait to take a client there for an official portrait session, with the grounds in bloom. Even in November, the gardens were filled with so many stunning little surprises, and of course the greenhouses were such [...]
Lisa Hannigan and Jason Mraz at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver 092708
I’m revisiting this set now, because I am so excited about Lisa’s new material, and the possibility of a US tour. I had left the shots unprocessed this long because the venue and billing that night did such a disservice to Lisa. This was my first time seeing Lisa Hannigan, and she opened for Jason [...]
My Photography, Published in the Colorado Rural Electric Association’s Monthly Magazine- Colorado Country Life
I was so honored to be asked to contribute my work for an article in the Draft Horse Journal last year, and now in the Colorado Rural Electric Association’s January 2012 Colorado Country Life magazine. These are just scans of the print copy of that article, which are just so detailed and beautiful, compared to [...]
