Thinking in Threes
Dear Readers, It’s March 1st and I’ve been hibernating a bit and it does look like I’m springing forward to summer when this image was made at Crested Butte, CO – a year after I moved to Denver CO from the flatland of Nebraska. Bu it’s really an image I chose to illustrate something I’ve…

Away for Christmas and New Year 2017-2018
And just like that … there it was, the Eiffel Tower, in Paris, France across from the park my son and I were walking in on a gloomy, damp January day. In three days I’d be flying back to Denver after spending 2 weeks in Germany, pre and post Christmas with friends, and then a…

Friends for the Journey
Many years ago at about this time in December my mother, brother and I left Germany from the airport in Hamburg. We were on our way to North Platte, NE where my father would be waiting to…

Pull Up a Chair
In the busy outside interactions of summer in the city, it’s often difficult to find a place of retreat, where one can stand back and observe what moments ago one was in the midst of. On a recent evening photo shoot, in front of Union Station,Denver’s newly repurposed and renovated train station plaza,…

Changing Our Viewpoint
A lesson I keep learning from my photography is that if you can’t capture a desired image which the eye sees, you have to move yourself to account for the camera’s limitation. Similarly, by shifting position one can make an image look like it’s taken in sunny Italy, when it’s less than a half of a mile from a…

It’s Not ‘PERRRRfect’
No matter where we go today we encounter the world of the perpetual “perfect” as spoken in cliche in many interactions. I don’t think ‘perfect’ gives us enough vocabulary to describe a current situation and/or an often challenging transition that one might be in the midst of. So today I encourage you to embrace the…

What’s Right In Front Us Often Reveals Next Steps
Six years ago can seem like yesterday or twelve long years depending on what has occurred in the interim. The lessons or reminders of that time are certainly a part of who we are today and yet in seeing something from the past today we are often tempted to add judgments about what we did…
