Sledding in Gypsum
Last Saturday the young women and young men along with families of such went sledding here in Gypsum as a youth activity. It was a great day for sledding with the temperature cold so the snow stayed powdery and fast. I took so many photographs of people I had to break them up into different …
134th Dan Classing
On October 18th at the Colorado Hotel in Glenwood Springs, CO, I was able to attend a Dan classing. From what little I understand, this is where candidates have a practical exam in front of a panel of instructors to qualify for their next advancement in rank. This is a photograph of the candidates, front …
Mount Evans Colorado
On July 19th, 2014 my brother and I went up to the top of Mt. Evans. I drove my car up, but my brother rode his bike up there from Idaho Springs. Mount Evans is one of two 14,000 foot mountains that you can reach the top by driving. The other is Pike’s Peak, also …

Red Ninja’s Picture Day
Here are the pictures I took of my sons Nathan and Christian’s soccer team. Most of the shots are of the kids shooting goals for the kick-a-thon. Once again could have used a bigger flash and forgot to increase the film speed….but otherwise pretty pleased with the performance of the 24-120mm lens. Enjoy, and if any …
Orange Crush Picture Day
Here are some of the photos I took of Daniel’s soccer team Orange Crush. They are a U8 team. A few things I learned from this photo shoot was that I should have increased my film speed to iso 400, to allow for quicker shutter speeds. I found that 1/250-1/320 just wasn’t enough to freeze …
