April 1225

A foot in the door?

Or maybe just a toe? I hope my photo which was used on Outside Magazine's website is just the start of something.

The photo was one I shot last summer getting images for another magazine's web site that I never submitted to them (met my quota already). Then recently I was contacted by Dave Wiens looking for a photo of the 24 Hours in the Sage mountain bike race. I went through my unused images and found this one I had previously overlooked. I like it and I hope the good folks at Outside do too.

Plenty more where that came from! :)

Meander

I was doing a small commercial shoot at a place I can't usually get access to so I had to take a few for myself while I was there. This creek meandering through the pasture dotted with cows really caught my eye. The high contrast seemed to lend it's self to a monochrome treatment too.

The Pueblo Raptor Center came by the local college with some of their birds who couldn't be rehabilitated to live in the wild. These birds now serve as educational tool. They are beautiful animals and it was really cool to be able to be so close to one that isn't stuffed!

Hartman Rocks is dry. A bit too dry even, but the transition from ski to mountain bike was smooth and instant this year.
It was a nice evening out there last night with some great storm clouds rolling through the valley.
This shot is from the Top of the World trail looking North at a spot I've taken photos before.
