Survived another Sunday... Not my best day in the eyes of the Almighty though I am sure! The day was going pretty well, managed to get showered shaved and off to church 🙂 That's where things began to falter though. Managed to say "shit" in church, right in front of the pastor while spilling coffee … Continue reading Another Sunday

Excellent End to a Bad Day
Not such a great day... didn't get a lot of sleep last night, one of those nightmares where you are half awake trying to accomplish some task that you can't figure out and it won't end... Finally woke up enough to just get up and wake up all the way so I could go back … Continue reading Excellent End to a Bad Day
The Darkness and the Light
Interesting day... Sitting at the Donut Mill collecting my thoughts as I realized that it was this exact day that my wife went in to hospice down in Colorado Springs two years ago. The cancer had spread everywhere it seemed and there was no more hope. On March 5, 2015 she passed, ending six long … Continue reading The Darkness and the Light
Getty Images / iStock Unification Project
This is something that has been a long time coming... iStock, although still a separate entity has now been migrated to Getty servers and management. A couple of years ago a project to place iStock exclusive editorial content on Getty was announced, implemented and promptly withdrawn. In the meantime I was tormented by the fact … Continue reading Getty Images / iStock Unification Project

For my hikes I was just putting the camera in my regular hiking pack with the Canon F4L 70-200 zoom nicely tucked into the water … Continue reading Lowepro Flipside 300
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
Sangre de Cristo, meaning "Blood of Christ", according to this article in Wikipedia. Here in Colorado it is also a rugged and magnificent mountain range, one that I have been meaning to photograph in winter with just the right light for a long time. I knew that recent snow storms and cold temperatures were creating … Continue reading Sangre de Cristo Mountains
Spring 2017
Wow... been a long winter. Here on the north face of Pikes Peak there isn't much to photograph during the dark winter months. Between the winter and spring travels of the sun on the other side of the equator, Pikes Peak sits in the frozen silence of a season without sunlight. Although fascinating to watch, … Continue reading Spring 2017
Picturesque Morning Frost
As I drove home Thursday night in 15 degree weather in a fog layer so dense that I could barely see to drive, I was pretty sure that the Pike National Forest surrounding my home would be clothed in a mantle of magnificent white in the morning. I knew it would be well worth my … Continue reading Picturesque Morning Frost

Solstice 2016
The new year holiday is meaningless to me, based on nothing but someone's idea of a chronological date indicating an arbitrary division of time developed centuries ago. However, the Winter Solstice is real, something significant in the alignment of stars, planets, the sun and the earth. It is a mark in time that has a … Continue reading Solstice 2016
