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
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
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
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.

With the Christmas gift season at hand, I thought I would write a quick post about the ordering process for gifts and prints from my website. First of all, please do not be concerned that you are going to cause me to be overworked! Back in the day I tried to manage orders that people … Continue reading Christmas Gifts
I know, Thanksgiving would have been a much more appropriate time for a blog message... but I was working on Thanksgiving Day and was kind of bummed about that and didn't really feel very thankful about it. Looking back though, it wasn't so bad... way better than last year, which was the worst Thanksgiving of … Continue reading Giving Thanks for Cyber Monday
Just bought a new laptop, kind of a low end Lenovo but it's pretty fast, easy to set up and runs Photoshop very well. Was too lazy to look for my old Photoshop CS2 disk and have been meaning to try out Lightroom and Photoshop CC for Photographers so I decided this was as good … Continue reading Creative Cloud
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
