Amateur photog, looking for stuff to shoot

[jonnyd49]

Hey guys (and/or gals)! I have a pretty serious photography hobby, and I'd like to kick it up a notch. I'm looking for people, places and events to shoot (pictures). Right now, this is more for me to build a portfolio than to make any money. I'd love to shoot pictures of people shooting bullets, and maybe some other adventures too. If any of you are going to practice for IDPA or 3-gun or just going to blow off a few rounds anywhere in the Denver area, I'd love to tag along. I'll even bring a few things that shoot bullets.

Heck, I'm interested in taking pictures at just about any type of event or activity. Concerts, 4-wheeling, mountain biking, dirt biking, etc. Pretty much anything exciting. I'm not really looking at doing boring portrait work or weddings or a Sweet 16.

If you're interested, some of my recent stuff is in my photoblog - jsmithphotos.wordpress.com

Anyway, if you're headed out to have a good time and don't mind being photographed, let me know! Thanks!

-Jon

You are welcome to come up to the south site with me next time my son and I go.

My current collection of things that go bang might not interest you as a lot of it is a bit dated (SAA, old engraved lever action, etc...) but if you're into modeling shoots I can talk to some of the ladies I know and see if they're up for it.
I bet Kelsey would be down, and she ain't new to the business...

Enthusiast - I just might take you up on that offer. I'm in CO until Sep 26th, so pretty much any time before then would work. I'd also like to put some rounds thru my AR before then.

mcantar18c - Maybe we could do a weekend CO AR-15 shoot and Ms. Kelsey could show up. I wouldn't mind snapping a few pics of her, especially with a few firearms. I have made a rule, though, that if I can't show the images to my mother, I don't want to do the shoot. Nude/trashy isn't a direction I want to go.

That'd be fun, I'll see if she's interested. Maybe Heidi would better suit your style, she doesn't like to show as much skin as Kelsey...

Re-reading what I said, I don't want to imply that Kelsey is trashy. Just wanted to clarify that...

I'd be happy snapping pics (I keep wanting to say "shooting", but I don't think that would work well in a firearms forum) of either of them. I'd be willing to provide all of the appropriate "props" and some basic firearms instruction if they're interested.

No worries... a lot of her shoots are actually a bit on the edge of it lol.
I'll talk to them and the other models I know and maybe we can get a whole bunch of em [Coffee]

[ROFL1] I was waiting for one of you asshats to ask that.
I used to run a popular club in Parker (where I met Kelsey), I did a bit of photography of my own (met Heidi), have a friend that does modeling shoots (meet LOTS of girls through him), done a bit of personal training for the girls when they wanted to get toned and whatnot (photographer friend sends them my way), and simply networking and making friends. Dated half of em too [Flower]

i'd love to get a shoot together. I'm a photog too, and usually the ones I hang with are all anti-gun hippies, so it'd be nice to meet up with some others that aren't lame.

I may be able to go up this weekend. I think it is going to be very busy though with the holiday weekend.

We can plan for next weekend?

Sorry, guys. This weekend isn't going to work for me. Work calls, so I'm flying out Sunday for a couple months outside of the country. Maybe we can work something out when I get back!
