Probably Time for a New Post!! Where’s Schulz?

IMG_1110

My apologies for no posts in such a long time. We have been (happily!) extremely busy this summer.

Besides all the photography in Denver, our commercial, portrait and wedding work has taken us to Washington, D.C.,

Fenway Park and Providence Rhode Island among other trips.  Look for photographs from these adventures in upcoming posts.

Perhaps all the hard work here at Photography G has done more to exhaust the dogs than

their own shenanigans!

Following (or should that be following Ween?),  Schulz cuddles up with his best buddy Daphne (a.k.a. “The Ween”)

for a not too deserved (but who cares?) nap in the sun beam on the sofa. Ahh..the life of a dog!

To see more photos of Schulz and other pet lovers and their best friends, view more work from one of the most popular portrait photographers in Denver, Garrett Hacking and Photography G!

Colorado photographer Garrett Hacking remembers the fallen who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy this Memorial Day and every day. Hug and acknowledge a veteran or service person today. These photographs were created when the Denver photographer traveled to France last fall.

My good friend Damien McCarron, founding member of the Indulgers and Wild Mountain Celts (two favorites of this band photographer) contributes to my blog this go around about an amazing night of Celtic rock and a bit of music history too. His exclusive for this Colorado photographer:

Dateline : May 10th, Fado, Denver, Colorado
A magical musical evening in Denver with the Indulgers delighting in hosting the band that founded the Irish rock genre in 1970 and recently reformed to wild enthusiasm
for shows in Dublin and Belfast.

Mici MacGabhann was the author of Rotha Mor an tSaoil, a book that described his life, giving details of past famine years, his school days, his search for work on the farms of east Donegal and Scotland. Later on he describes his travels in America, especially in the Yukon, Alaska.
Rossa O Siordain is retracing the experience with hosts Barry Devlin and Jim Lockhart of legendary Irish rock band, The Horslips. The production is to air on Irish television (TG4) in November and December
.
The Indulgers, Colorado’s Irish rock band were invited to participate and perform Horslips songs
“Trouble With A Capitol T” and “Rescue Me” with Barry and Jim as they paralleled the modern experience of Irish immigration to the USA.  The host location, Fado Irish Pub in Denver.
The pub also features a mural of some of Ireland’s top names in music including The Horslips.  Cheers, Damien.

Where’s Schulz?

Schulz is pooped out!

Ahhh…. the dog days of Spring. Here we see Schulz knocked out after a long day of teaching doggie yoga classes.  The Dachshund class put him over the edge!

Bethany & Scott – Copper Mountain, Colorado

Bethany and Scott were married at beautiful Copper Mountain Resort in Colorado. The wedding was in December, so what else would one expect but SNOW! And lots of it. “I love winter weddings” says Colorado wedding photographer Garrett Hacking. “It makes for such a special background. Everything is clean and fresh when it snows. A new beginning. What more can you ask for newlyweds?”  Having a reputation as a Denver portrait photographer in addition to weddings,  Garrett was actually born and raised in Minnesota, and became a full time Colorado photographer thirteen years ago. Therefore, cold and snow doesn’t bother him a bit.  “If a couple is up for it, I am open to any possibility. I really like natural light and backgrounds as much as possible, no matter the weather.”

K.B. & Nathan – Timber Ridge, Keystone Colorado

K.B. & Nathan were married at Timber Ridge at Keystone, Colorado. “We had a lovely day,” says Colorado wedding photographer Garrett Hacking.  “Coupled with the amazing locale, great weather  and first-class service provided by the staff at Keystone, everything came together to make this one of my all-time favorite weddings. There are so many nooks and crannies for great photography at Keystone. There is the village and river area at the base and then a double gondola ride to the exceptional mountain spots” says the Colorado photographer.

Continuing a series of photographs created by Colorado wedding photographer Garrett Hacking, here we travel through Paris by day. (See previous post: Paris by Night).  Late last Fall, Garrett traveled parts of western Europe for the first time, camera in tow. Known for his Colorado photography, he relished the long anticipated chance to photograph the cities and countrysides of France and Spain (see also previous post on Barcelona). Particularly of interest to the Denver portrait photographer were the cities with their colorful characters and seemingly endless neighborhoods and districts full of museums and outstanding architecture. “There is no doubt.  Those two cities (Paris and Barcelona) live up to their reputations in every way.  I highly encourage a visit by anyone who has not been there. I can’t wait to return to Europe and visit Italy, Germany, Ireland..Heck all of it!!!”

Joe Ades “The Peeler Man” NYC 2006

Denver portrait photographer Garrett Hacking has visited the Big Apple on a number of occasions beginning in 1996 when the band photographer visited the Beacon Theater for a run of Allman Brothers Band shows. It would be 10 years later that Garrett, now a renowned Colorado wedding photographer, would unwittingly come across another famous person while in New York City. Joe Ades, known to New Yorkers as the “Peeler Man”.001_Joe Ades NYC

“I am always on the lookout for interesting subjects be they human or objects.  New York is of course target rich. I am particularly drawn to human characters and Joe obviously stood out. I usually try to have some semblance of a camera with me at all times so I was fortunate to be able to  make some portraits of Joe at work.  I had no idea what a “legend” he was and how well known he was to most all citizens of Manhattan.  I especially didn’t know his amazing story until I saw the piece about him on CBS Sunday morning recently. The guy made a fortune! Lived in a Park Ave. apartment, drove a Rolls Royce and put his daughter through Columbia. Schlepping peelers on a street corner! Way to go Joe!!”

Where’s Schulz??

SCHULZ IS RUNNIN’ WITH THE BIG DOGS!

Schulz is completely oblivious to his size.  It’s all about stature and this dog has it!

This would be where the saying “Runnin’ with the Big Dogs” comes to mind.

Runnin' with Big 'Ol Dogs

Here we have a group of canines (including Schulz) all getting to know one another.

A real daisy chain, though I can’t remember which one was Daisy!
