Denise Chambers | see what I’ve been up to

For years I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing a photo project centered around the GLBT community. These photos are from my first shot (ha ha) at the project. They were taken at the Denver PrideFest. If you’d like to see more I’ve started a website/blog for the project… www.facesofgay.com

I once again had the pleasure of traveling to New Orleans. I was there the end of May so this post is a little late…it’s been a busy few months. I don’t think I will ever tire of visiting this great city. It’s nice to see it bouncing back and I am […]

Went to Apogaea a couple weeks ago with Ryan. It was quite an experience. Very difficult to explain in words but if you are familiar with Burning Man at all, it was basically a smaller, regional version. It was my first Burning Man type event and I wouldn’t say I am on […]

No words needed!!

An Horse…AMAZING!! I was introduced to this band via Tegan and Sara. They put on a great show, they’re funny, personable, and I am now an addict. Check them out at www.myspace.com/anhorse.

When I first found out I would be going to shoot in New Orleans, I was…well…less than thrilled. I’d never been there but my vision of New Orleans had been tainted by Mardi Gras stories. That’s just not my kinda thing. A very important lesson was reinforced, don’t make a judgment on […]

During the past three and a half years, I’ve been luck to be on assignment in Chicago several times. One of the things I love to do while I am there is walk around the Loop. The architecture is absolutely stunning. Walking along Wacker Drive, following the Chicago river is walk that […]

One of the great things about being a photographer is that on occasion I get access to some pretty interesting stuff. While on a shoot in Chicago, I got to spend a couple hours shooting pre-show behind the scenes of a Second City performance. It was great to see comedic genius in action. […]

Two weeks in Thailand, one week in Cambodia = 51 hours spent on planes/in airports, 37 hours spent on trains, didn’t bother to track how much time spent in taxis and tuk tuks. Oh how I love to travel…seriously.

Every other year my family goes on vacation to Germany to visit my mom’s side of the family.  They live in a town called Ketsch, which is right on Rhein River.  We have a few must do’s every time we go…  we walk along the river, we visit Heidelberg Castle, we spend a day at […]

Telluride is one of the most gorgeous mountain towns in Colorado. Highly recommend it as a vacations spot, especially if you like to hike. The San Juan mountains are arguably the most picturesque in Colorado.

Came across this blatant disregard for the “unofficial” no parking sign while walking my dog and thought it was kind of funny.

We were down in the basement being silly, taking some deadpan family photos.  Cec was totally in the moment, had her game face on, I set the camera timer too short and as you can see, didn’t make it to the couch in time.  A happy accident, I think this shot turned out pretty funny.  […]

I was in Rocky Mountain National Park doing a shoot for the Colorado Tourism Office. The assignment was to get a shot of Skylar Johnson, a local Bagpiper and long time resident of Estes Park. Skylar was being interviewed for the Colorado State Vacation guide and Colorado.com. We did a couple different […]

We’ve already established that I have some out of control hair. As a result I have a hat fetish. While in New Orleans this past May I had to deal with wicked humidity and rain…bad combo for my ‘fro. So I had a great excuse to buy a new hat!! This […]

Cec suggested I put up this self portrait I took of one of my bad hair days. Hmmm, I think I am sensing a theme. Anyway, last December, I made the mistake of letting my younger sister straighten my hair…never again. It did look pretty funny though. I was too mortified […]

Drawn by my partner, Cecilia. Yes I really am bow-legged but I do have more than three fingers on each hand and I’m generally not out and about in the nude. Oh, also, my hair is longer now. In my college days, I was once running across campus in a blizzard and was clearly identifiable […]
