Summer 2015

Woke up this morning stressed out about all the things I still need to do this summer but couldn't really remember what it was that I should be doing. So I had my coffee and waffles and by 7:30 I still couldn't remember what it is that I was stressed out about doing, so I … Continue reading Summer 2015 →

Gold Rush Days

I have been trying to go to some new places and do some new things, so this morning I headed off to Victor for Gold Rush Days. A quick jaunt down Highway 67 with a jog to the left as you near the turn towards Cripple Creek for the once a year festival commemorating the … Continue reading Gold Rush Days →

Killing Machines

Saw this post come through on FB the other day along with a number of comments. The article is about the replicating of machines that were used to hoist wild animals into the Collosseum to fight the gladiators and of course later to kill Christians. Someone posted a comment on the Facebook share asking how … Continue reading Killing Machines →

Order

Sitting here at Starbuck's in Englewood passing the time until lunch and thinking about how far I've come since that fateful day last March. I am amazed at how many things had fallen into disrepair and neglect from the battle we were forced to fight against Tricia's cancer. Almost three months have gone by and … Continue reading Order →

Back to the Future

Back to the Future These trips to Denver are really messing with my head. Up until now, my life has been neatly divided into distinct periods of time mostly based on jobs or accomplishments. Thus was my move to the mountains and the start of my nature stock photography endeavor. Tricia's passing has of course … Continue reading Back to the Future →

As the snow melts, there are new trails to explore, festivals to attend, sporting events to cover, not to mention daily activities made so much more … Continue reading Catching Up →

Major Break

My stock photography business caught a major break in May. Most of my stock images get uploaded to iStockphoto, with a few going up to the parent company, the Getty Images Agency. Getty Images is the largest picture agency in the world, and for a photographer it is certainly the major league of the stock … Continue reading Major Break →

Paddlefest

Today turned out to be a pretty big day, the furthest from home I've been in a long time. After years of hoping to photograph the Paddlefest whitewater festival in Buena Vista, I finally made it today. I awoke at 5:00 a.m. and it was foggy and cold so I was tempted to just give … Continue reading Paddlefest →

Therapeutic

Today is a cold dreary rainy snowy day and sitting at home was just too depressing so I thought the coffee shop in downtown Woodland Park would be nice. There is a table there that I consider mine, the one right by the south window where I can sit and look at Pikes Peak. Today … Continue reading Therapeutic →
