James Made A Pie

And it was apple, my favorite. Which is why there are not any photos once it came out of the oven..I was entirely too busy inhaling it. Best apple pie ever!

Oh Maine, I Love You

A few snapshots from our trip to Maine with a few friends last month. Had a blast! We’ve been going every year for the past few years and it’s the only true vacation Cec and I ever seem to take. (…)

Road Trippin’

If you are going to drive thru North Eastern Colorado, it’s best to do it during sunset/dusk. It was one boring stretch. Thank goodness for storm clouds and an entertaining girlfriend!

Colorado Springs, Open For Business

My brother-in-law, along with his wife and two kids, came out to Colorado Springs last week for a visit. A quick thanks to them for supporting Colorado Springs Tourism in the midst of the Waldo Canyon Fire. Don’t quote me (…)

Livin’ The Dream In Tahiti with My Mom and My iPhone

I recently got back from a 10 day vacation with my mom in French Polynesia.  It had been a lifelong dream of hers to travel there ever since she saw the 1951 film, Bird of Paradise, as a teenager.  Since (…)

My Favorite Photo Subjects

Every once in a while I get asked, what is my favorite thing to photograph.  Easy question to answer..  hands down my favorite “thing” to shoot is my family and friends (including the four legged ones).  Nose around the blog (…)

Snowshoeing In Breckenridge

Snowshoeing is my favorite winter activity. Well, other than laying on the couch with Cec, next to a warm fire, reading a book, while puffy white snowflakes are falling outside. Anyhoo, I digress. Over Martin Luther King weekend we rented (…)

Meet Samantha

More from the film archives. This is Samantha, my cousins’ daughter. If you can’t tell from the photos, she is a real spitfire. I’ve been working on a personal project for the last several years photographing my family in Germany.  (…)

My Mom Had Surgery

In October my mom had surgery to repair a tear in her rotator cuff. I was pretty nervous about it, so what did I do, took photos of course. The surgery itself went fine. Her doctor and all the people (…)

I’m A Virgo

Nothing like a really bad senior portrait to motivate me to post something else in this category.  So, last month was my 38th birthday.  Obviously this isn’t a recent photo.  It’s from about 30 years ago…I’m pretty sure it was (…)

20th High School Reunion

Last month was my 20th High School reunion, Chandler High School Class of ’88, which I did not attend.  Thankfully, I was on a Colorado Fall Colors assignment (not that I had even planned on going to the reunion).  But (…)

My Little Sister Got Married

And to avoid wearing a bridesmaid’s dress, I volunteered my photographic talents. Thank goodness for canon auto focus because I probably spent 60% of the ceremony and bit of the reception in tears. Let me tell you, taking photos when (…)

New Hat

We’ve already established that I have some out of control hair. As a result I have a hat fetish. While in New Orleans this past May I had to deal with wicked humidity and rain…bad combo for my ‘fro. So (…)

Cec and I Goofing Around

We were down in the basement being silly, taking some deadpan family photos.  Cec was totally in the moment, had her game face on, I set the camera timer too short and as you can see, didn’t make it to (…)

A Walk Along the Rhein River

Group Trip to Telluride

Telluride is one of the most gorgeous mountain towns in Colorado. Highly recommend it as a vacations spot, especially if you like to hike. The San Juan mountains are arguably the most picturesque in Colorado.

A Sketch by Cec

Drawn by my partner, Cecilia. Yes I really am bow-legged but I do have more than three fingers on each hand and I’m generally not out and about in the nude. Oh, also, my hair is longer now. In my (…)
