December Newsletter

Young Black Bear

The plan was to write a monthly newsletter, and I think I actually did get a couple written before the whole plan was derailed by events. Somehow through all the trauma, I managed to keep shooting, but recently noticed that none of those images had been uploaded to my fine art website, or to my stock agencies. No newsletters had been written and I had actually put little thought into my photography since the trees began changing colors in the high country in September. But now the skies have cleared over my life and it's time to get back to work!

Holiday Catch Up

All I can think is it must have been a very busy year.  I seem to have a hard drive full of images all ready to put up for sale on my website! Well I finally got to it last night,  and I'm happy to announce a couple dozen new images ready for purchase just in time for the holiday season.

Ask AI

As a fun exercise,  I decided to ask Google AI a few questions about my business. I was surprised at the level of detail and the depth it went to as it "thought" about my accomplishments!

Bighorn Sheep Rut: A Nature Photographer’s Adventure

Bighorn Sheep

I was fortunate this weekend to get to take a photo adventure to Waterton Canyon to shoot the beginning of the Bighorn sheep rut, when the rams are down in the valley challenging each other for the right to breed with the herd of ewes.

Autumn in Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods Autumn

Autumn is always a beautiful time in Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs. I was especially eager to get down there this year, because I have earned three free rolls of film developing at the camera store. Unfortunately I plucked a roll of severely expired film from the drawer that was intended for a test shoot only of an old film camera that I'm not sure works. So, in this post I'll discuss how to make the best out of a day with a roll of 15 year old expired 400 speed film.
