The Good and the Bad – A Visit to New Orleans in the Heat of Summer

by Kim

Fleur de Lis

The Weather. Ok, so maybe it might not have been the wisest idea booking our trip to New Orleans during one of their hottest months. But we knew what we were getting ourselves into and told ourselves it would be fine. We figured we can opt to suffer the oppressive heat if we choose to. […]

My Photo Gear – What Camera Equipment I Own and Use

by Kim

When I first started out, I wasn’t sure what photography gear to buy. I knew I wanted to be fully digital, but hadn’t decided what system to start with. Canon and Nikon seem to continually be battling for first place, but many other brands are closing the gap. But honestly, gear is only a part […]

What is a fast camera lens and why do I need one?

by Kim

Canon 50mm f/1.2

When I first started to seriously pursue photography, I’d hear people talking about “fast lenses” and how awesome they are and I had no idea what they were talking about. I had yet to dive into the details of f-stops, focal lengths, shutter speeds and ISOs and how they all worked together, so I’d just […]

Fall Leaves along Boreas Pass Road – Colorado

by Kim

Aspen leaves in the fall along Boreas Pass

I’ve been told that the fall leaves in Colorado are nothing compared to what you’d see in the Northeastern part of the United States, when the trees put on a magnificent show of bright red, orange and yellow-colored leaves. In Colorado cities, people have planted a variety of non-native – and thus more colorful – […]

Tristan and I usually try to get up to the mountains and try out a new hike every summer. This weekend we went up to Black Powder Pass since we wanted to check out the fall leaves along the Boreas Pass road. I couldn’t find a ton of information about the route, but the starting […]

Donner Pass, California

by Kim

Donner Pass icy road sign

I think Donner Pass near Truckee, California is famous for one thing: the doomed group of pioneers who supposedly succumbed to cannibalism to fight hunger when stranded on the Pass during a horrific winter storm. The Pass is named after this group – The Donner Party. But don’t let it put you off to visiting. […]

U.S. Olympic Training Center – Colorado Springs, Colorado

by Kim

I think it’s pretty funny how people are when it comes to visiting tourist-type attractions in their home city or state. So often many of us think, “Well I live here, so I can go see that anytime.” But do we? No. Well, not always, anyway. Such is the case with the U.S. Olympic Training […]

Hiking Near Berthoud Pass & the Continental Divide – Colorado

by Kim

Berthoud Pass trail

When you’re hiking at higher elevations in Colorado, late summer is one of the best times of the year. The snow is mostly melted so the ground is dry, and usually the afternoon thunderstorms are less frequent. If you have the time and are a hardy hiker, this trail can take you many, many miles […]
