Lol... there is nothing like a dog to get you going when you are "Dog Tired". It has been a rough week so far. Four punishing nights in a row on the loading docks, two early morning dental appointments for a friend, another early morning appointment at the oncology center for another friend. Fighting off … Continue reading Dog Tired
Hot weather is fast approaching and a pair of Keen Targhee low hikers looked like just the ticket for summer hiking comfort. The Targhee is a durable leather and mesh waterproof boot with just the right mix of protection, weight and breathability. Colorado 14ers are my passion but summiting one of these beasts means many … Continue reading Field Testing Keen Targhee II Hiking Boots
This morning the Almighty was smiling on my photography endeavors 🙂 Thankfully I got a good night's sleep and awoke before first light and before the doggies had any interest in departing from their comfortable slumber. So... there was time for a healthy breakfast of coffee and some discounted do-nut balls from Walmart that I … Continue reading Deer Herd Adventure
If This Jacket Could Talk As luck would have it, I got a really good deal on a new Gor-Tex jacket the other day. Later that day as I went to zip up my old one it didn't feel right, looked down and the zipper was broken... zip all you want, but it isn't going … Continue reading If This Jacket Could Talk
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
My old Lowepro camera backpack has finally went on to camera bag heaven last year and in the meantime my gear has been scattered throughout a number of inappropriate locations. 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
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
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
It was in the autumn in the high alpine regions of the Colorado Rockies when Mount Evans Road finally opened last year and I was able to make the drive to the summit. I had high hopes of seeing abundant wildlife, based on the reports of my competitors who had made the trip in previous … Continue reading Back Button Focus
I remember reading with dread a couple years ago that Adobe was entering the stock image business with it's own collection that would be accessible directly from Lightroom. Dang I thought, that is really going to take a bite out of iStock's business. At the time I was an exclusive artist there with no possibility … Continue reading The Good, the Bad and the New
