A Monochrome Start to 2026

Monochrome Pikes Peak Region

It wasn't something that I intended, or set out to do, but it seems that monochrome photography might be a recurring theme in 2026. A renewed interest in black and white film can be partially attributed to a road trip to Denver, with an inevitable stop at Englewood Camera to look at the used gear. On that trip I discovered an FD 100-300mm manual focus lens at a price impossible to ignore. That particular lens just happens to emply a 58mm filter size, the exact size of my set of monochrome filters.

Winter Wonderland 2026

Bald Eagles

The holidays are behind us, and I'm getting back into my photography routine. This weeks adventure took me to Eleven Mile Canyon, in search of our bald eagle pairs. Unfortunately I was only able to capture one sighting, but a new winter storm has arrived in the area, and I was able to capture a few ghostly images of the snowy landscape.

Capturing Colorado’s Stunning Sunsets

Rocky Mountain Sunset

The conditions looked right for another beautiful sunset over the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range of Colorado, so I loaded up my camera and headed out to the overlook. I arrived with about 20 minutes to wait, and decided it wasn't going to be that spectacular afterall. So I turned the wheel and headed further into the mountains, hoping to find some wildlife in good light.

The Cold Moon

Sunrise on the Sangre

The cold moon, the last full moon of the year was a good excuse to get out at sunrise yesterday. Some wispy clouds ultimately obscured my view, but it was a beautiful morning and I think I got some excellent images anyway, plus a couple of unexpected bonus wildlife pictures.

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.
