I want to go there.....

ok, so I have been to Denver, but just recently.  I fell in love with the city to say the least.  While I was checking out some other photographers and taking a look to see what parts they enjoy of their city, Denver, I came across these and was amazed!

Amazing use of light!  Take a peak at Greg Thow's Etsy Shop {Denver Digital Photo} to purchase from him directly or his new site Denver Digital Photography to see more. Hope these inspire you to try new techniques!

{Drops}

a mix of {Loops} and {Drips} give us {Drops}.  further details in 5 Letter Design's Etsy Shop.

stay tuned tomorrow for a look at fantastic Denver photographer......
