As a passionate photographer and proud member of the Colorado Springs community, I've always believed in the power of storytelling. My project, Heroes' Hot Rods, is a heartfelt tribute to the veterans who have served our country. I've noticed a unique bond between veterans and their vehicles. A connection that often runs deep, representing freedom, adventure, and the journeys they’ve taken.

Through my camera, I aim to honor these heroes by capturing stunning portraits that not only highlight their beloved rides but also delve into their remarkable military stories. Each image is more than just a photograph; it’s a way to say thank you, to recognize their sacrifices, and to celebrate their resilience.

Join me as we embark on this journey, sharing the incredible tales behind these hot rods and the brave individuals who drove them. Together, let’s pay tribute to those who have given so much and continue to inspire us every day.
If you know a veteran or first responder with a vehicle they love please reach out so we can celebrate them and tell their story! Dave@empirewestphoto.com
