“No Parking” — Behind a no-parking sign in front of Centro on Pearl Street at 10th. @dailyshoot #ds285 for something metallic. (photo via my Flickr)
“We Like Our Bubble” — It’s the window of a business on the north side of Pearl Street between 8th and 9th Streets. It’s been around for many months, and I cannot figure out what they do. The space inside is mostly empty with some Macs and a conference table. But they have this great motto on their window. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds280 for glass with reflection. (Photo via my Flickr)
“A Girl on a Rock” — Pearl Street at 11th Street, looking westward. Not a great shot from the technical standpoint, but I like how the colors, the lights and the blur make the shot look surreal. 8:24PM MDT. ISO 1600 f/4.5 1/3 +1/3 EV and spot-metered in the middle of the frame. (Photo via my Flickr)
“Baja Fish Fry” — Not a great food photo shot, but it’s my favorite dish at Centro Latin Kitchen. (Trying to take a photo of the food in front of me when I’m hungry is not a good idea.) Fried rock cod with seared greens and hot corn salad. Poblano tartar, spicy vinegar and habanero dipping sauces. The fish is crispy, and the corn salad bursts with flavors. The habanero dipping sauce is my favorite. A great deal for $16. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds277 for a meal. (Photo via my Flickr)
“StrEatChefs.com” — My colleague and friend Jenny organized a field trip outing for lunch today to the StrEat Chefs location for the day. It’s a gourmet food truck, started by a team headed by the Season 5 winner of Top Chef, Hosea Rosenberg. The truck parks in different places in and around Boulder to serve lunch. The food was amazing. I got the grilled cheese, “loaded” with pork belly and apple jam ($6), and it was an excellent combination of flavors. I also got a taste of homemade golden tater tots with green chile and cheese ($4), and the sauce was flavorful, but two orders of the tots themselves were cold. My colleagues raved about the tomato and watermelon gazpacho with mint ($4) and the cherry limeade ($2). Chef Hosea was present himself and served food to customers out of one of the trailer windows. StrEatChefs is a great idea, well executed, and I can’t wait to go back in the future. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds275 for a sign. (Photo via my Flickr. More here, here and here.)
“Stump” — Another one from North Boulder Park. A view of the Flat Irons from the famous diamond-hole stump. I do have a photography project idea that I would implement if I had the time and the money. It would be “The Daily Flat Irons”—with one automated shot during the morning golden hour everyday for 365 days. @dailyshoot #ds271 (Photo via my Flickr)
“Swings” — Playing catch up with Daily Shoot. I shot of bunch of different assignments at North Boulder Park during our Sunday brunch picnic. @dailyshoot #ds265 for a park (Photo via my Flickr)
“Flowers” — Wild flowers next to the Boulder Creek multi-use path. I don’t love the shot, but it seems to be popular on Flickr with 44 views so far since posting, which is high for my photos (except of course the famous drinking Elmo shot, which inexplicably has 120 views so far. For @dailyshoot #ds260 (photo via my Flickr)
“Photo Rope” — Shot in front of West End Gardner about two years ago. Printed on an HP Deskjet 6940. Hanging on a magnetic photo rope from Photojojo in my office. For @dailyshoot #ds250 for a photo of something I created. (photo via my Flickr)
Twitter wiped Boulder off the map….
X Marks the Spot
A friend of mine picked up his iPhone 4 today, which he had reserved 2.5 weeks ago. I played with it for a few minutes. I tried touching and holding the infamous signal attenuation spot for a while. The bars went up from two to three.
“Disney Land (Top Half)” — This is the development that many people in Boulder call Disney Land on Pearl. It is a set of condos built in 1981, in pseudo-San Francisco style houses, but they look a bit ridiculous. The bottom-half, which I submitted for a Daily Shoot assignment a while back, is here. Submission for Tumblr/Photojo photo contest for today with the theme “panorama.” If I had the Perfect Pano, the stitching might have turned out a bit better. (photo via my Flickr)
“Stilted” — I like the title I came up with for the @dailyshoot #ds244 assignment to shoot something out of context more than the shot itself. This stilted woman was walking around downtown Boulder, but I never got to find out what she was selling/promoting.
Here is the runner-up for the assignment—a deer that casually ambled through the backyard, as we were having dinner.

“Sidecar” — Parked in front of St. Julien Hotel in downtown Boulder. Love everything about it. (photo via my Flickr)
“Sun Tattoo” — Outside tables at Atlas Purveyors have little flower-patterned holes. The sunlight was shining through the pattern on to a guy’s ankle unbeknownst to him, which I quickly noticed as I was walking by. (Photo via my Flickr)
