I can’t believe sometimes how things work out. You know that old mantra of mine that Mother Nature loves nature photographers? More and more I believe this is more than true – it’s a law of the universe!Continue Reading

Astounding!
That’s all I can say. I finally got around to working on my mountain photos. I had some time to work on them while at my parent’s this past week. It helped kept me from getting too depressed – but in betweeen business meetings and lawyers etc, photography was a welcome distraction.
DAY ONE
Arrived in Banff to spend one night so I could meet the bus that takes the group to the helipad at 7:00 am. I decided to splurge- so I spent the night at the storied Banff Springs Hotel.

This is a serious hotel! If you saw The Shining (by Steven King) you’ve seen the Banff Springs Hotel! Well not exactly, but it’s of the same ilk as the wicked Overlook Hotel in the movie (and book.)

The Midlife Crisis: Part 1

Breathe
Not only literally ( the flu/cold that has been constant companion since before Christmas is finally leaving me!), but figuratively too ( the 200 hour work week of the past 3 weeks is also over), I can breathe!
And it feels great! Capping it all was an inspirational iPhone workshop on Saturday, where aspiring artists created some really astounding images.Continue Reading
