Renowned nature photographer and author advocating for the preservation of wildlife
Unquestionably, the most enjoyable part of being a stock photographer is the shooting. For a photographer there is nothing quite like planning a shoot, looking at the maps, researching the wildlife and getting the equipment ready. Sometimes a special event will bring me out, like a bike race, music festival or a big storm in … Continue reading A Time to Shoot
Well it appears that I am back in business after a couple of months without my favorite lens, my Canon 70-200 zoom. It finally came back from the Canon repair shop with a broken roller replaced.. whatever that is, and some lubrication, cleaning and refocusing. I've had it back for a little while, but too … Continue reading Excellent Adventure
Seasons change ahead of time for us stock photographers. Ad campaigns are planned and images chosen ahead of time and I need to switch gears to stay ahead of the curve. Fortunately, with my lens broken and weeks of downtime to look forward to I have a wealth of imagery from last winter to draw … Continue reading Seasons Change
Summer is over and the crisp temperatures of fall are settling in all over the high country. I have uploaded a few of my best autumn color pictures to Alamy and Pixels.com but I have to face the fact. My style of imagery sells best on iStock. Despite it's shortcomings and small commission rates, the … Continue reading Facing the Fact
Today I'm continuing my photographic journey through the last few years looking for the best images to upload to the Adobe Stock Photo library... Funny, I forget a lot of things from the past, but when I see these images I can pretty much remember the exact moment of each capture. If it weren't for … Continue reading Photographic Journey
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
The annual mass migration out of the mountains on Labor Day is in full swing... Thousands of cars, RV's, and camper trailers streaming out of the mountains on their journey back to the cities. Can't say I'm sorry to see them go. I know they are supposed to be good for business in the state … Continue reading End of Summer 2016
Today in my walk through the woods with the doggies, I pondered a question posed to me, “How can there ever be peace”, in reference to the chaos which has beset my life as of late. Peace is of course a good thing, something that should be sought by everyone. I even had a wise … Continue reading Peace
Working on the right life / work balance... I'm finding that four nights on the loading dock and a 14er on the weekend may be just a little bit much for my chronologically challenged body ... So I asked my boss to cut me back to three loading dock marathons per week and thankfully it … Continue reading Balance
Wasn't quite physically ready to climb another 14er just one week after Mount Massive, but I didn't get the days off I wanted and that's the way the chips fell. I didn't want to wait until the 20th to climb another one, so I called Ralph to see if he was ready to give another … Continue reading Hiking Mount Harvard Colorado
