Brew day! Peach Saison with fresh Colorado western slope peaches. Love using my coil chiller. It was easy to make and blasts the wort down to room temp cool nice and fast. Had friends over to walk them through so used malt extract. It is much less complicated and very approachable. Looking forward to bottling day.

Colorado Gothic - High Mountains/Western Slope Edition

Old mine shafts far up in the mountains.

You're driving along and you see a sign that reads, "now leaving public lands/xyz National Forest." When were you ever in public lands or a National Forest? Where are you? Are time and place even real concepts?

Tiny, isolated, former boom towns with thriving summer tourism economies and seem real quaint, but you can't help but wonder if some kind of malady plagues the minds of the people who live here or if something is in the water besides mine residue. (E.g, Silverton, Creede)

The San Luis Valley. Nothing else needs to be said.

Lots of thing about the Four Corners region - e.g, Purgatory Resort, the River of Lost Souls

Even the scariest looking rednecks are usually rather harmless. It's the gussied up folks in Durango, Telluride, and Aspen that you should be wary of.

Welcome to my first Artist Spotlight;  Kimberly Crist is a photographer and artist living in Grand Junction, Colorado. She moved here just late last year with her boyfriend Keith and has already met and collaborated with other artists and businesses with some amazing work. When we first connected, Kimberly had a huge smile on her face and gave me a hug. We found each other through a mutual friend on facebook and she needed a model for a diaper bag she was shooting for. We instantly connected and the second time she shot some hat pictures of me and we got creative in her home studio. She’s completely shy about her artistry which makes it even more appealing. She has amazing works  of her macrame and stitched art on her walls, full of color and different braids and designs. It’s completely humbling and if given the chance, take her up on the offer to have her make you a caramel latte, it’s the best one I’ve ever had

Kimberly Crist; Tell me a bit about your full name and where it came from. The origin.

I just happen to be one of those people who has no understanding of where their name comes from. I do know that my parents liked the name Kimberly, and I asked them where Crist comes from but my father said that he got it from his mom and dad.

Where did you grow up? How do you think growing up there influenced your artistry? I grew up in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. Living in the midwest helped me see so much beauty in what some people might not find conventionally attractive. Unlike in Colorado where its easy to take a great landscape photo, growing up in Ohio really forces you to find beauty in the overgrown, the run down. It’s just so completely different than out here.

Where are your parents now? Do you have any siblings? Tell me about them. My parents live in the same place I grew up, a little suburb outside of Columbus, Ohio, and my older sister lives out in Fall River, Massachusetts. In the 6 years I've been away from home and the 10 years my sister has, we've been good at getting all four of us together about every other year. Otherwise I try to fly home once a year, but every time I am home, I visit friends who see their family on a daily or weekly basis and it reminds me of how much you give up when you move away from home. Last fall, my sister and I were lucky enough to spend, I think it was a consecutive two weeks, driving around New England with our parents. It was the most time we had all spent together in probably a decade. I know that's not really information about them but I've done enough crying for the day and its hard for me to write about them without crying! (literally tearing up!)

What sort of art medium are you focusing on right now? In the past?

Photography has always been my main focus, ever since high school, primarily digital but sometimes small format film. I really love any creative outlet though, writing, drawing, or even just general arts and crafts.

Tell me what kind of photography makes you the happiest to shoot. What kind of photography do you like looking at that others have created?

Photography that can capture emotion or movement or a moment is typically what I am drawn to in my own work, even though I shoot everything from product and lifestyle to people and places. I think that's why I've always been drawn to lifestyle photography, because it isn't typically posed, you just happen to capture the right moment. As for others work, probably about the same, anything that feels documentary, that it's capturing the moment instead of creating it.

What or who inspires you? Why?

People, always. Traveling inspires me too but I always find that I can be in the coolest location, but no matter how much I try to enjoy solo travel - its just always better when there is someone to share that story with.

What are some instagram accounts that inspire you right now? 

@kaleyfromkansas and her soft, fine art approach to portraits. @julesville for her attention to color and composition. @justynaebutler for her ability to capture movement and her focus on detail.

Share a bucket list item you have. I'm not sure if this is considered one but at some point in my life I would really like to live out of my car for a few months, traveling around with my significant other just hiking and exploring and waking up somewhere new. Also, when I'm ready, I would love to build my own house on a tiny plot of land somewhere. Tell me about your favorite shoot to date and your favorite photograph from it. I think my favorite shoot to date was the one I did a few weeks ago with local Kagami Vintage shop owner, Sky! We didn't have a location, concept, or really anything planned, which might sound like a disaster for some people but I think I just thrived in that moment. We stumbled on so many different locations and because there was no pressure or time constraints, I got to step out of my comfort zone and try different approaches to how I shoot; focusing on movement and what I want the viewer to feel. I think it’s one of the few times I've allowed myself to slow down and focus on creativity, instead of just photography.

How do you feel about social media in this day and age and how it affects the photography industry? Do you see it having a more positive or negative impact in the future for photography? Why?

I've met so many amazing creatives through it but I became a lot happier with my own work when I began limiting my time on it. It made me realize how important it is to see my photos as a collective portfolio or collective blog, versus the one photo that I'm going to post to my instagram feed. For photography as a whole, I think it just depends on how you look at it. You can see social media and photography as this thing thats oversaturated the market, turned everyone into a photographer, or you can see it as this thing where now you have so many people learning and sharing and creating. I'll always try to see social media as community, instead of competition.

Best and worst piece of advice you've received so far in life?

I always remember from a young age my father casually mentioning to never rely on your partner for monetary or financial support in life, and subconsciously I've just carried that around with me forever. I grew up in the 90's where traditional gender roles seemed to be the path in life so at first I thought, okay yeah sure. and I don't think I ever really knew what it meant until I moved 1,200 miles from home and started to learn what being independent meant for me as a woman, living alone in a new city, and how that became my identity. Even now being in a relationship, its something I find so important to prioritize because I can become emotionally dependent in my partnership if I don't sort of step back and force myself out of my comfort zone. Now I think it's one of the most important parts of who I am, and I love knowing that it grew out of this subtle thing my father would mention every now and then.

Bottling Day! Just enough for a case and 3/4. I love Peach Saison from fresh Colorado western slope peaches. There was just enough for me to pour a glass for myself. Dry with peaches on the nose and faintly in the glass. 5.5 ABV and mild fruity hops. I am excited to try it when it is carbonated.
