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
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
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
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
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
Awoke to a beautiful clear mountain morning and a day off of work. But by the time I got done getting ready for the day the temperature was dropping and clouds had already begun to move in over the mountain, followed by a few flakes of snow to make it an official Colorado Memorial Weekend. … Continue reading A Break in the Storm
Winters are long in the high country but I hope that this early May snowstorm will mark the end of winter 2017. Snow fell for 24 straight hours and the temperature dipped to 13 degrees on May Day Eve. Getting out the winter parka and relighting the pilot light on the furnace can be a … Continue reading Last Vestiges of Winter
My recently purchased Keen lows are great for wearing around the well worn trails of the valley I live in, but I needed something more substantial for the rocky terrain of the high country. After quite a few months of procrastination I finally settled on the Asolo Fugitive GTX mids. The boots feelsturdy and well … Continue reading Field Test, Asolo Fugitive GTX Hiking Boots
Hot weather is fast approaching and a pair of Keen Targhee low hikers looked like just the ticket for summer hiking comfort. The Targhee is a durable leather and mesh waterproof boot with just the right mix of protection, weight and breathability. Colorado 14ers are my passion but summiting one of these beasts means many … Continue reading Field Testing Keen Targhee II Hiking Boots
Before 2008 when the stock and housing markets crashed, there were indicators of the choppy seas ahead. My wife and I were involved in three businesses, unfortunately all non-essential to daily life. She had two businesses, mobile disc jockeying in the wedding industry and the online and physical sales of collectibles at a store we … Continue reading Leading Indicator of Better Times
