Pretty darn chilly here at 9,000 feet high in the Colorado Rockies today, enough to put on a hoody to type this blog post anyway! Not complaining though, this weather is the reason I live here, definitely not a fan of being hot. Tourist at the post office was complaining and hoping it was going … Continue reading Picture Perfect

Different Every Day
My wife when she was still with us used to call Pikes Peak a "Cantankerous Old Lady", which may well be very true 🙂 However she is also as beautiful as she is unpredictable and she can be counted on to put on a different face every day. I have to carry with me my … Continue reading Different Every Day
Black and White
I wasn't quite satisfied with yesterday's image, it didn't convey the coldness that I intended. This morning I decided to bring it back up and use a Photoshop technique I invented some time back for black and white renditions of deer in snow. One time I was working on one of those blizzard images and … Continue reading Black and White
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
Beautiful Morning

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
Photographic Journey
Today I'm continuing my photographic journey through the last few years looking for the best images to upload to the Adobe Stock Photo library... Funny, I forget a lot of things from the past, but when I see these images I can pretty much remember the exact moment of each capture. If it weren't for … Continue reading Photographic Journey
Balance
Working on the right life / work balance... I'm finding that four nights on the loading dock and a 14er on the weekend may be just a little bit much for my chronologically challenged body ... So I asked my boss to cut me back to three loading dock marathons per week and thankfully it … Continue reading Balance

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
