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
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?
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 […]

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
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
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 […]
