After a dry winter here on the east side of the divide, spring arrived with cool temps and a lot of moisture leaving the front range GREEN well into July. The high country got a ton of spring snow delaying the opening of Trail Ridge Rd by a week. A morning hike to Long Lake on July 4th found 15 feet of drifted snow in the trees along the lake.
I had some photographic success so far this year, but nothing that has knocked my socks off. I have posted some of these photos in the gallery under recent photos.

It has been a busy summer. Getting up to the high country every change I got yielded a few good photo’s. I did not get to Kebler Pass or the San Juans as I had wanted to this year. As a Chicago Cubs fan, there is always next year. The color of autumn has passed and I await the snow of winter. My hope is the we get more snow on this side of the Continental Divide than we did last year.

The past two Saturdays I have attended a seminar called “How to Sell your Photography” at Boulder Digital Arts. I found it very enlightening. In fact I just emailed the Chicago Park District at the urging of the instructor Eli Vega and my classmates to get my photo, Chicago Twilight to some of the city’s agencies. It is too good to be sitting in a file on my computer. We shall see what happens.
Eli said that getting your photography out in the public is like tossing a stone across water. You don’t know how many times it will skip or how many people the ripple will reach.
