Day 365… WOW, what a journey! I spent the entire day taking photos from each of my favorite locations…places I have come to know and love over the past year. I started out in my hometown, went to the top of the Peak and had a world famous “Pikes Peak...

Despite the 97 mph on top of the Peak today and the intense haze that filled the air, I am glad I made it to the summit to get this shot! Many people don’t know that Zebulon Pike wasn’t the first person to summit Pikes Peak and that when he tried, he...

What a challenging day! It was as though the Peak looked at me today and said “No free rides, buddy… you’re going to have to work for it!” No matter how hard I tried, the fresh snow and flat clouds made the Peak look like a ghost in the fog....

Today was a beautiful, typical day for late May, and I hope days like this keep coming all summer long! When the clouds build the way they did today, it becomes a race with the clock to get into a spot that really shows off the play of light and shadows… and...

I was given permission to hike some very remote private property today, and with the weather as unsettled as it has been this week I thought a sunrise shot would be my best option. I had to get out on the trail about an hour before the sun came up and it was...
