Shooting the pictures is the fun part that makes it all worth while, but for a stock photographer there is a considerable amount of work to be done that isn't all that much fun. With the capturing of hundreds, even thousands of images comes the job of cataloging and editing and processing. Summertime would seem … Continue reading The Work

Hiding in My Cave
The weekend before the big Fourth of July holiday week, also the time for the mass migration of city people to the mountains... Lol, the tourists are like, "where are all the fireworks booths"? Mountain people... there aren't any, we kind of frown upon burning down the mountains for entertainment. My town is on a … Continue reading Hiding in My Cave
Ebb and Flow
Totally resisting going out into the world this morning. Monday on the job getting harder and harder to face... After three days off from my unfortunate necessary supplemental job, the old body feels mostly like I haven't been run over by a truck and I am not looking forward to the return of the pain. … Continue reading Ebb and Flow
Donkey Derby Days
Another thing I've been wanting to do, Donkey Derby Days in Cripple Creek, Colorado... like forever. Almost skipped out again but when faced with going home for cooking and cleaning it was a no brainer. A quick drive to Cripple and me and the doggies were headed for main street to see the action. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Donkey Derby Days
Beautiful Morning
It was a beautiful cool morning today, a welcome relief to the scorching heat we have been experiencing here in Colorado this June. Lol.. I know we sound like real wimps when we get to complaining when the temps rise above 80 when the rest of the country is sweltering in 100 plus misery, but … Continue reading Beautiful Morning
Bucket List Deckers
As usual the day began with no clear plan. Saturday is my big day for picture taking so I had in mind a couple of ideas, one of which was driving to the peak to hide from the heat... I really didn't want to pay the $15 toll though so I just headed out, reminding … Continue reading Bucket List Deckers
iStock Editorial
This whitewater shoot of the Numbers Rapids on the Arkansas River near Buena Vista, Colorado is apparently my first editorial shoot since the big iStock / Getty unification project. I'm sure everyone else has already figured out how to do it, but I was really tearing my hair out for a while there! DeepMeta no … Continue reading iStock Editorial
Running the Numbers
River running that is! Most summer days are pretty mild here at almost 9,000 feet at the base of 14,115 foot Pikes Peak. However once in a while it becomes apparent just how close Colorado is to the hot desert land of the southwestern United States. Yesterday was one of those days. I have always … Continue reading Running the Numbers
Little Grouse Mountain
Woke up early this morning with no real plan for the day, but as always I threw my camera in the truck... just in case. The doggies both did their business quickly, which is a good thing, and a big time saver! So instead of my usual trip to the gym I decided to head … Continue reading Little Grouse Mountain
10,000 Captures
Today was a milestone of sorts... I hadn't noticed until I transferred the images to my laptop, but today my camera rolled over 10,000 images and started over at 00001. And as fate would have it, #10,000 was my favorite one of the day. I was at the library in the reading room checking out … Continue reading 10,000 Captures
