If you're at DIA on Concourse B, check out Jesse Speer's new slideshow on the upper level. I stood with mouth agape, watching Jesse's show on two big screen TV's in the upper lounge for 5 or 6 minutes. Jesse's show has landscapes from all over Colorado and demonstrates the depth of his work. You can also see the images up above while standing on the people mover. It's a killer show!

René Pirolt has a special mention winner in the Banff Mountain Film Festival Photo Contest. His gorgeous Turret Arch image can be seen at the festival, online @ http://www.banffcentre.ca/mountainculture/ and in the publication at the festival.

Congratulations!

Wow, what a great place to display. Wish I could see your slide show Jesse. I'm sure it is out of this world! Congratulations to both of you guys!

Thank you! I think my "screensaver" is permanent - or until they decide it's time for something fresh.

Congrats René. Definitely the best image I've seen from this angle - with the perfect clouds and dynamic lighting.

Haven't been out to DIA in awhile. Were you able to place your website etc for ordering anywhere? Maybe Mangelson will share some wall space with you. Great accomplishment!

Congrats, guys. I went to the Banff film festival this year and they had Rene's image on the screen several times as part of the before the show/intermission slideshow. I can't wait to see Jesse's work at DIA!

Posted by Guy Schmickle on February 26, 2009 at 10:31 AM

You guys rock! Congrats to both of ya. Wish I had some travel plans through DIA so I could see that slideshow.

Posted by Rene Pirolt on February 26, 2009 at 6:23 PM

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone!

I am looking forward to visiting the Banff Film Festival this Friday in Denver.

Nice job - Jesse! I have to check out the display next time I am at DIA.

Posted by Jesse Speer on February 27, 2009 at 5:18 PM

Don, yes, they included my website URL throughout the slide show. It was part of the deal.

Rajeev, they used about 70 of my better Colorado images. I can't imagine trying to post them all here.

The show is basically a duplication of the Colorado work featured on my website.

Again, I appreciate the kind words everyone!
