… and I really don’t see how you can mess it up!  I mean its chocolate.   If you make it right it will change your life (only a slight exaggeration).  If you mess it up it will probably still be pretty delicious.  I made Giada’s Chocolate Honey Almond Tart from her Giada at Home cookbook this weekend.  My inspiration?  Chocolate.  The occasion?  Sitting on my couch watching chick flicks one night of Memorial Day weekend and I firmly believe that calories do not count on holidays.  Did I really eat the entire tart and call it dinner?  No, but I seriously considered it.     read more....

If you have ever walked down Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, you probably recognize this sculpture called “Swing” by George Lundeen.

As an aspiring sculptor myself, I have been following his work for about 27 years. George Lundeen is one of the most successful and well-known sculptors in Colorado, and one of the founders of a great community of artists in Loveland Colorado. Anyone that is interested in sculpture should definitely check out the two large sculpture shows held there every year in August.  www.sculptureinthepark.org

Shot using the 5D Mark II mounted to a wall for a high perspective. Recorded video about every 2 minutes for roughly 30 seconds and then took the footage and time remapped it in AE for that stop motion look. A great shoot day on the stage for sure!
