End of Summer Thoughts
My Summer goal was to get the Print Shop updated. I really let this slide and I wanted to get it updated with not only more recent work but also of images I just never got on there. Figuring out what platform to use for this has been a bit of a challenge due to needing to not add to the small…

Prints have traditionally always been part of the photography process. Negatives were always meant to be made into prints that could be held and displayed.

Notes From July
July has been hot here in Colorado which means gardening goes into survival mode for the plants and for me.

Nobody likes when nothing ever changes and it’s the same. But I’m not writing to tell you all about the gardens. I want…

Garden Diaries … May 2026
This week I photographed the garden. This is something that I intentionally do every growing season and every month in that growing season which for us is May-September, sometimes into October. I have found this process of documenting the work we have put into this garden and how it has changed and matured very enjoyable. I also love practicing garden…

Is Money the Main Goal?
I’ve been thinking a lot about where I am at in my photography career and where to go from here. Photography and the business of photography have been part of my life for 30 years. It’s been quite a journey. I’ve seen a lot of growth in my own skills and knowledge along with seeing the industry change drastically. I’ve…
