I've been slackin' on photos lately. Here's a few from the past week.

Smoky skies made for a nice sunrise this morning.

Most people associate me with landscape and wildlife photography. Only a few are aware that I started with portrait photography. That being said, I am once again, as I do every year, offer services to the next class of high school seniors.

Here's what I offer:

-unlimited time and outfit changes per sitting
-100% locations shoots at a location of your choosing
-Photo printing to order at a fraction of the majority studios
-Fast turnaround of edited photos
-No limit to the number of photos taken

Here's what is the most surprising to most of my customers...

The sitting fee, which includes the time, editing, and location are all
included for only $200. Most will wonder how that is possible, SO HERE YA GO...

I'm not paying for any overhead. I work out of my house and have ONE employee....ME. I'm not paying for some "Photoshop Expert" to make my photos look insanely perfect beyond what is naturally there. No AI, just quality photography, the way it should be.

SO, if you're looking to save a few bucks and get the quality you want, feel free to contact me. I've been doing quality photography sine 1991. Yeah, that makes me old. LOL

There are very few things in life that are as soothing and enjoyable as waterfalls and cascades. The sound of water running over the rocks has a special ambiance.

Went out to St. Vrain State Park this afternoon hoping to catch Ospreys fishing after the rain stopped. Saw quite a few buzzing about but not fishing. Managed to see this one in a tree as I was leaving, which was way better than when they are on man made towers.
