Survived another Sunday... Not my best day in the eyes of the Almighty though I am sure! The day was going pretty well, managed to get showered shaved and off to church 🙂 That's where things began to falter though. Managed to say "shit" in church, right in front of the pastor while spilling coffee … Continue reading Another Sunday
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
