Gandalf, our 8 year-old male Weimaraner ; Flower, our 6 year-old female Weimaraner and I took about an hour hike on a nearby mountain trail yesterday during a late lunch break from the office. With an impending winter storm heading into Colorado with the potential of throwing a powerful punch, I decided I […]

Most trips to the mailbox usually disappoint. Like just about everyone else the arrival of bills is kind of a downer and the abundance of junk mail just frustrates me because even though we recycle all our junk mail here at our Evergreen, Co. dwelling , it just seems to me there has to be […]

I often get asked, “What’s been your favorite assignment?”. The response is usually pre-empted with a chuckle and  a smile and a rather bewildered reply of “That’s a hard one.” Much like with a bucket list there are assignments you hope to cover in a career and then there are the ones you have encountered […]

I just  had the pleasure of participating in an photographic invitational gallery showing this weekend at the  University of Northern Colorado honoring one of my professors . It was called The Dennis Morimoto 47 Invitational. The most impressive part of that title is the 47. My professor Dennis Morimoto dedicated 47 years of teaching, enlightening and inspiring […]

I was contacted by a national publishing house representative last week requesting I offer images for review for a new book featuring future NFL Hall of Fame inductee Peyton Manning. Manning spent fourteen years with the Indianapolis Colts before the club decided to look to the future for a younger quarterback and subsequently declined to renew […]

My better half thinks Valentines Day is an absurd event. “Commercialization at its finest”, she rails. So, the question virtually every year is how do I show my wife I love her. Oh, I can humor her with a crazy or sentimental card. But forget the flowers ( “they just die and fade away” ). […]

As kids growing up just down the hill from Evergreen (CO) we had no problem entertaining our selves around the neighborhood even during winter months. Our “playground” consisted of a frozen irrigation ditch for pond hockey, snow-packed cul-de-sacs or dead-end streets for a shoe version of pond hockey. We had nearby awesomely steep, teeth-rattling hills for our […]

After bagging a couple of days at the 2013 Aspen Winter X Games I have found a lot of great faces and garb to go along with action on the hill.

Yesterday’s first big winter storm of the season brought a lot of critters out of the forest to forage for food. I noticed a small cluster of mule deer rooting near the house close to  one of our large sliding glass doors. Out of curiosity I decided to lay down near the window and wait patiently to […]

Yep, it’s official. The holiday season is underway. My neighbor and friend Willis Bennett was stringing outdoor Christmas lights on his trees yesterday. I looked out my office window and sure enough I saw WB with pole in hand  reaching  confidently toward the tops of his plump Ponderosas. We’ve had an on going neighborly battle  for years on […]
