This image was a spur-of-the-moment creation with a cowboy friend I trust with my life—both literally and figuratively. One of the greatest parts of my work is the time I get to spend with incredible people. On set, I make a conscious effort to foster a collaborative environment, especially when crafting the main shot. Everyone involved knows their ideas—good or bad—are welcome.
The people I work with are the real deal, and their input is invaluable in shaping the images we create. This particular shot happened in between setups when my good friend @rasredwine casually said, “Hey, what if I act like I’m going to shoot you?” Caught off guard but intrigued, I let him run with it—and minutes later, The Last Call was born. It was an epic day with even better people.
Over one hundred volunteers staff the Coors Art Gallery during the Stock Show and special events such as the Red Carpet Reception. Volunteers come from across the front range, drawn by their love for the art show as well as their dedication to raising funds for the National Western Scholarship Trust, to which the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale is the largest contributor.
