Passionates

Wherever there are passionate people, there will be good pictures. Remember these guys? Civil War reenactors with canons...there were some great stories from those passionates. Last night I got to spend time with another set of passionates: fashion designers. And what fun! Naturally, they had beautiful people wearing their designs, so that's easy. Then they had cool designs, check number two! But best of all, they were all having fun showing their work and wearing it, too. I sure enjoyed my work as they worked. 

Any other Passionates I should know about?

Garden of the Gods

This park is one of my favorite places on Earth. Whenever I visit Colorado Springs I try to come here to make pictures. I'm still trying to make something worthy of William Henry Jackson who photographed here as well as most the Mountain West.

Man, Last time we made pictures for the J. family, that little guy was a newborn. I love this. Watching families grow through my lens is really a wonderful thing.

Return to Punch Bowl

Something wonderful about being a photographer is that I get to visit wonderful places over and over again. Fortunately (or not), I don't have to drive to Oregon to do it. I get to revisit a place each time I finish pictures I made there. The whole time I'm working I remember the hike in with friends, and the freezing water rushing around my feet, and the couple from China I got to speak with. What a great time I had...then and now.
