Jack and Kim
Jack and Kim went up the hill, To ski at Mary Jane. When Kim fell down, Jack skied around, And asked her to walk the wedding lane. OK,OK, my poetry is lame, but my lovely niece did call me that day and told me that Jack proposed to her on the slopes at Mary Jane. I thought that was very romantic. That was the winter of 2009, and they had a wonderful engagement party that my wife and I were able to attend that June. I took alot of pictures that day of family and friends celebrating their engagement. A great time was had by everyone! I ended up putting those pictures into a book which I gave...

One of my wife’s, and definitely her mom Teed’s, favorite shows to watch on television is the Antiques Roadshow that is on PBS. While I don’t watch it much, it is interesting to see how much they appraise items for that people bring in that I would consider having no other value except as a memory or keepsake.

While the show was in San Diego, she took a set of three books in for their appraisal. After looking at them they...

read moreTwo of My Favorites
I wanted to start out with two of my personal favorites, my favorite place to visit and unwind, and my favorite picture from there. The place is Vickers’ Ranch in the San Juan Mountains just outside of Lake City, Colorado. It is not the easiest place in the world to get to being one of the most remote towns in the lower 48 states, meaning you will have to drive over 50 miles to get to the nearest Wal-Mart, Safeway, or other major shopping areas, but it is well worth the extra effort and planning. Lake City is half-way on the “Silver Thread Scenic Byway”. Highway 149 which runs...

I grew up in Colorado but oil and gas exploration brought me to Texas after graduating from the Colorado School of Mines in 1977. After 30 years in the business my passions have now turned to photography and the digital arts which I try to incorporate with my love of the outdoors, nature, skiing, golf, traveling and meeting new people. I view life as a continuous learning experience.
