kicker: filmmaker James Anaquad-Kleinert in Telluride for the event

Horse-bigger “I adopted a wild horse named Voodoo, who had been rounded up by the Bureau of Land Management and adopted out to a killer buyer. The man like many or most killer buyers, played a cruel game of acquiring horses and betting that he could sell them to slaughter before he has to feed them. But the problem did not begin with the killer buyer. It began with the Bureau of Land Management,” said Willie Nelson, now part of the production team for "Wild Horses & Renegades."

The American mustang crisis makes headlines around the world. On Tuesday, February 22, award-winning filmmaker James Anaquad-Kleinert brings his star-studded environmental documentary, "Wild Horses & Renegades," to Telluride's Wilkinson Public Library.

Poster Fired. Dumped. Homeless. And – worse – without ski passes. Things don't look good for two longtime Telluride ski bums when they first meet a mysterious figure from the future who sends them on an epic adventure.

The Squids' founder, Sasha Cucciniello conceived of "Dude & Bro's Epic Adventure" after scouring theatrical archives for a fast-paced winter adventure. The eureka moment came when Sasha realized "Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure" was as much about ski bums as surfer dudes.

TLT-5-Carbon In this cyber age, man and machine are more closely aligned than at any time in history. According to Erik Dalton of Telluride's Jagged Edge, the ongoing trend in outdoor gear suggests a close and personal relationship with a Lotus Elise: fast and light.

Over the last few years, the push for lighter and faster gear that is still durable enough to use and abuse has been driven by consumers.

Lurgio_RedShedFlyShop Tony rizzuto Friday – Sunday, March 11 – March 13, Jeremy Lurgio and Tony Rizzuto are scheduled to lead a photography intensive at Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts. The subject matter: "The Photography of People."

Portrait photography like portrait painting raises any number of provocative questions. To what extend does or should a portrait function like a literary biography? What distinguishes a fine art photography portrait from the digitals you snap of your family to email to relatives?

Irving Penn's spare, frank compositions shot in the natural light of his studio with rudimentary props helped define define the look of Vogue magazine in the 1940s. Penn's images, like those of Avedon later, produced intense engagement with his subject that made viewers feel like voyeurs.
