Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

Art-O-Mat!


I had coffee this morning at the Ivywild School with my good friend Lori, and I'm glad I brought a camera because I've been meaning to take a picture of this Art-O-Mat for a while now. Do you remember cigarette machines? They were once a fixture in every bar, but now they're pretty much outlawed everywhere I think. Art-O-Mat cleverly converts them into art vending machines. How awesome is that?!? For $5, you can buy an original piece of art instead of a pack of smokes. Love it! (I would have bought some art but I didn't have five bucks on me. Maybe next time.)

There are over a hundred Art-O-Mat vending machines all over the U.S., two in Canada, one in Austria, and one in Australia. Maybe there's an Art-O-Mat in your city! Visit their site HERE to find out where.
