I’m ringing in the New Year down in Key West Florida. It has been really warm, in the low 80s. It sure doesn’t feel like Christmas, and in celebration of that folks decorate their trees with a sense of humor down here.

A funny thing about being a photographer is that when you go on vacation it’s easy to just keep on working. New scenery is inspiring, and leads to more and more shooting. Usually there is not enough time to edit all the photos that you take while traveling, so when you get home you have...
I’ve been shooting some nature photos interspersed within and between my mountain biking adventures. It has been nice to get away from the routine and to spend some time wandering around in the woods. The mountain bike trails are out in the Hillsborough County Park System of Morris Bridge, Flatwoods, and Trout Creek. The trails...
No, I don’t feel bad at all that I’m missing out on skiing. Holiday tourists, lines, icy highways … or flip flops, shorts, and short sleeves … hmmmmm. Do I look sad? How do you like my leftover helmet from my 1996 race team? I like it, it matches the 1995 Stumpjumper I’m on. Some...
A benefit of living in a place where it never freezes is that you can grow all kinds of cool tropical plants in the backyard. Here we have a hibiscus and a staghorn fern for your viewing pleasure.
I took this picture today. Quite a difference between the previous photo, eh? Yes, I left town for the holidays, and am hanging out in sunny Tampa, Florida. Yes, I’m wearing shorts right now. :>) I’m really enjoying the change of pace, and the change of scenery. I’ve been taking a bunch of photos since...
Last night I attended and photographed Integrated Alliances’ 5th Annual Denver Holiday Party. It was held at the Auraria Campus Tivoli Student Center in the Turnhalle Ballroom. Were you there? I hope so, Mike O’neil stepped it up this year and included the adult beverages with the entry fee. I think he wanted to be...
This year’s ACA Colorado State Cyclocross Championship was held at a brand new venue in Lyons, Colorado, which is about 20 minutes north of Boulder. All the local cross freaks were undoubtedly excited to see piles of snow falling from the heavens on Saturday. The cross gods were smiling on Colorado, and ensuring that a...
We had our first big snowstorm of the year in Boulder this past weekend. It provided me a chance to pull The Snow Bike out of the garage. It’s main feature is studded Nokian Extreme tires. They are a lot of fun. I was ripping around town drifting in the snow and people were generally...
This past Monday I attended the first ever Boulder edition of the Integrated Alliances Holiday Party. IA has been putting on great business networking events and parties for several years in Denver, and this year expanded to Boulder. The event was held at the Spice of Life Event Center at the Flatirons Golf Course on...
The Scoop is a weekly email Newsletter that is put out by the Rocky Mountain News / Denver Post. My blog will be the featured Colorado Blog this week! With an audience of 160,000 people, I’m interested to see if I get a spike in hits after it comes out. In addition to a link...
Lots of people need their bedroom to be pitch black in order to sleep. For me, it doesn’t really matter. I’ve trained myself to sleep with the blinds open. I feel it aids my renowned napping skills to be able to sleep with the sunlight streaming in. As a photographer, my senses have become attuned...
