Places With A Past

15Jul17

The following images feature old buildings that called to me along the way during the past few months. I like including the landscape along with the buildings to provide a sense of place (when it works). Other times, a closer look is needed … like the detail of an oven some miners left behind or […]

Along Country Roads

17Mar17

One of my favorite things to do is to take a drive in the country looking for interesting subjects to photograph. It’s a great cure for cabin fever and I enjoy it even more when I capture images worth processing and posting. Somedays that doesn’t happen but I often learn something about a location for […]

More ‘Remnants & Remains’

Additions to my growing collection titled ‘Remnants & Remains’, I’ve selected a few to upload to my online gallery and store. I am grateful for the opportunity to showcase prints […]

Abandoned Abodes

07Apr16

Here is a small assortment of abandoned houses and shacks I have discovered in recent months. This subject matter is quite different here in Western Colorado compared to some of the larger abandoned structures I was used to Back East. People who lived here one hundred years or so ago were for the most part […]

Here are a few images I collected while meandering country roads in January. With a similar color palette they just seem to make […]

Colorado Autumn – Part IV

25Oct15

The second half of my Colorado autumn was just as colorful as the first half. I got out as much as I could in the mornings and evenings. Since I am still learning the lay of the land my adventures were sometimes no more than exploring and scouting. This is a beautiful but rugged place… […]
