  1. Artist Reception for Sideview Photography
    • 12/07/12, Friday, 5:30pm – 7:00pm
    • Red Frog Coffee, Longmont, CO
    • Inside the shop

    “A midwestern view on the rest of the world,” is one way to describe photographer Kimberly Foster. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, Kim’s interest in photography stemmed from 4-H, a Polaroid camera, and the imagination of a 6-year-old. Since then, Kim has toted a camera to take pictures from the backyard to places such as Europe, Alaska, Washington, DC, and Colorado.

    Kim and her midwestern roots moved to Colorado in 2004 for work at CU-Boulder. With a playground like Colorado, the photography passion continued to grow. Two years ago, her husband decided it was time to push that dream to reality and started giving Birthday/Christmas gifts that led to the pictures you see today.

    The idea for Sideview Photography comes from the “Sideview” series that boasts the beauty behind you, rather than in front of you. You can find Kim’s photos hanging on the wall, or as stationery and holiday cards. Sideview Photography will also work with you to customize an order. Find her on Facebook, sideviewphoto@gmail.com, or by calling 303.881.5924.

Lopez’s debut album The Romantic and The Realist establishes him as a new artist to watch in the Colorado music scene. Nashville based recording artist Tyler James describes Antonio’s music as “raw and beautiful…two traits any young songwriter should strive for.” Recorded at The Pearl Recording Studio in Minneapolis, MN with producer Zach Hollander (Andrew Bird, Explosions In The Sky), the album has an earthy modern-folk-rock feel, garnering comparison to artists such as Ryan Adams and Amos Lee. His emerging career is starting to take flight.
