Hello one and all. The last you heard from me was a rather somber day, as my beloved furry friend of 13 years was laid to rest in Arvada Colorado. There were some precipitous events that led to that day, and even more tumult since, so my apologies for the extended absence. The short story…
I believe so! I was packing up a lot of photo stuff, including various 4×6 prints when I came across this. It’s a poorly lit photo, I know (dreaded on-camera flash), and is totally not something I would include in any portfolio ever, but –…
Today is a sad day…after 12 years together, our family dog Maggie has reached a point where her body is just not able to sustain her anymore. Over the last 9 months we have seen her deteriorate slowly. Her Lab face always seems to defy…
As we all work through our lives, there are many defining moments that shape who we are, and what moves us to action. These last two years have been an increasingly rapid frenzy for me as my primary job has expanded in both duties and…
It’s been a while, I know…many many travels both domestic and international. Most recently was/is a trip to Cabo San Lucas with my lovely wife of ten years (as of this Friday). We captured probably one of the most beautiful sunsets on record too, so…
I’ve been traveling though a number of states over the past few weeks. So many, in fact, that the well has gone dry of articles and I’ve not had the time to replenish lately. So, in the interests of hopping back on the proverbial horse…

Having been laid out with a nasty head cold, then swept out of town on various training trips, I’ve been straddling the fence of coherence, fogginess, and business for a few days now. During that time I’ve not written much at all, but I have had the…
Special Guest Post by Brian Dilg, NYFA, Photograph School Chair It may surprise a lot of people to know that sports photography is not among the categories of reporting for which Pulitzer Prizes are awarded. This seems an oversight. The drama, significance and visual power…

I have a confession to make. I’ve not picked up my SLR camera gear in 104 days! That’s right – it’s been since Nov 11th since I picked it up for any reason, other than to move it out of the way of something else…
When it comes to creativity in photography, sometimes you just have to take what’s handed to you. So, when the weather turns chilly, like it did recently here in Colorado, the snow makes for some great contrast in subjects. To that end, as a means…
Photography, like anything else, is about telling a story. If you like photographs, then you like stories. So, with that in mind, and a bow or nod to the gods – enjoy this montage of these photos. With the accompanying storyline from the memoirs of…
