Facing the Fact

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 →

End of Summer 2016

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 →

Back in the Groove

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 →

Hiking Mount Massive

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. I was glad to be able to participate, completing my sixth 14er on a beautiful Colorado day in the high country. Buddy Bill also … Continue reading Hiking Mount Massive →

Wrong Horse

We all try to make the best decisions possible with the information we have at the time. Unfortunately we can't always read the future and sometimes we make a bad choice. This is one of those times for me. I believed the information I was receiving and went with it by investing my images heavily … Continue reading Wrong Horse →

Best of the Best

My Alamy stock image portfolio doesn't get a lot of attention in my pages, perhaps because it is the smallest of my image portfolios. But I'm thinking it should get more love! I have been with Alamy for nearly a decade now, and during that time I have carefully selected only the best images from … Continue reading Best of the Best →

Sports and Recreation

Yesterday started out too cold and sloppy to immediately run out and enjoy the first clear skies in what seems like forever, so I continued to ponder ways of making my pages and sites easier to negotiate. I noticed right away that my main photography page still has way too many non-photography related posts, mostly … Continue reading Sports and Recreation →

Teach Us to Profit

Again today I awake early in the morning just as I did yesterday, stunned that it is possible to feel so terrible so early. 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 →

Coincidence

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 →

Holidays BT

Have been struggling to come to grips with the first holiday season I will be spending without Trica in 27 years. Last year Tricia was in the wheelchair not able to do any cooking but my sweet friend and awesome gourmet cook, Heike, invited us over to her and Pat's house for a wonderful day … Continue reading Holidays BT →
