Due to difficult circumstances beyond anyone's control, this handsome goofball recently found himself needing a new forever home. Here he is, visiting my home for the first time back in June 2016, shortly after being rescued from the side of the road, malnourished and skittish, in the middle of nowhere Kansas or Oklahoma. I am so glad I took photos that day in part because his new forever home is mine. I hope he has just as much fun living here as he did visiting almost 3 years ago. He lived here in Fort Collins the day I took this photo, but he now lives 11 hours away. Once he makes it back to Fort Collins, I look forward to giving him every bit as much love and care as he has had the past few years with his people. I haven't had a dog in over 13 years, so I'll have to readjust to life, but I am confident the joy he'll bring will be worth everything. My heart aches for his current people and for him, but I believe he will find happiness here, as well. Gus, you are so loved.

Usually, my instincts are on point for the very first frame of a given subject (landscapes, people, etc. - but less so for moving wildlife) and it's the image I end up using. This shot was the very first frame I shot for this session - just as an exposure check, really - but guess what? It was the individual image the family chose for this child. It's so natural, with that movement in her hair and the reflections in the water beyond - just an honest, clean shot. No fuss, no muss, just as the family (and I) prefer!

~ Drive-by gadget photo from Bakersfield, California last summer ~ Fellow architects, we know this as a "Duck," yes? =) If you have no idea what I am referring to, check out architects Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's architecture book, Learning from Las Vegas, discussing "ducks" (such as this) and "decorated sheds," first published by MIT Press in 1972 (my personal copy was printed in the 90s). This particular duck on Chester Avenue in Bakersfield currently houses the very highly regarded Big Shoe Repair. The building was constructed by the original owner in 1947 as Deschwanden's Shoe Repair. From what I can glean online - save about 10 years beginning in 1992 and a related change of ownership - it has always served the community as a shoe repair business. Major props to the current owner (only the second in its history, as far as I know) for honoring the original family's intent and passion in keeping it a cobbler's shop, rather than following the money and welcoming a different tenant type to take over the building. Architecture as advertising, with a skilled, strong business to keep customers coming back! What's not to love about a duck? Quack!

As I was hiking out from The Narrows area at Zion National Park one evening last summer, the sun wedged itself between the massive overhang above me and the natural wall beyond, creating this dramatic scene. #UtahRocks

Who would guess this young Marine was feeling the chill a bit while visiting family back home, after living in Southern California a while? I love how perfectly natural he looks in this beautiful setting. Thank you for your service!

I've been managing my time a bit differently lately, which has resulted in largely "neglecting" my social media sites. To that end, I am tossing a 3rd image on here for today. ~ Colorado stallion from July
