I think I've discovered an axiom, there are no unfriendly people at 14,000 feet of elevation. I've never encountered one anyway! Perhaps it is because life's problems can't survive the thin air there, they melt away when the summit comes into view. Well anyway, I have summit fever again this week and am preparing for … Continue reading No Unfriendlies at 14,000 feet
Wow, what a tumultuous summer... Certainly hasn't turned out according to plan! Was not expecting my best photo agency to become my worst in a matter of a couple of months, and wasn't expecting to have to be working a regular job to make ends meet. But here it is, almost August and I have … Continue reading Back in the Groove
The 14,421 foot summit of Mount Massive Colorado was the latest peak to be checked off as done in Ralph's quest to climb all the 14ers in the state of Colorado.

It has been a long dry spell in the picture taking business, so many miles on the trail with so little to show for it. I have heard it said many … Continue reading Teach Us to Profit
Going through the nearly 8,000 images I captured over the summer and fall making sure I have all the editorial photographs uploaded to iStock for the big transfer to Getty Images that is supposed to occur sometime shortly after the first of the year. One of my major photography goals for the summer was to … Continue reading Coincidence
I have been wanting to get up to Georgetown and Guanella Pass to hike Bierstadt since being reminded of it on 14ers.com. Twenty years has passed by since I have climbed a 14er for real and I didn't want another year to slip by without feeling the exhilaration of a summit. I knew the pass … Continue reading Bierstadt
Was sitting at the computer a couple of nights ago feeling a bit blue about the waning days of summer and the fact that I had not achieved one of my major goals, which was to climb a 14er. For real, not just the quarter mile stroll from the parking lot to the Mount Evans … Continue reading Bucket List
Day three of radiation therapy. Can't see any improvement yet, but she needed less pain medication yesterday so that is a good sign. Three down and seven to go. The beauty of autumn is quickly passing as the wind and the hail are taking their toll on the brittle golden leaves. The mountains will be … Continue reading The Road Ahead
