On the winter solstice, I went out to capture the Saturn-Jupiter 2020 Great Conjunction over Denver, over St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church. Quite a few people out wandering around the Denver Sculpture Park near the […]
Some things in the world just deserve a drop-everything, no-holds-barred trip, and the opportunity to see the Utah Monolith at night was certainly no exception. Even on Thanksgiving. I made the whirlwind trip from Colorado […]
Magnitude +2.4 Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) continues to provide amazing opportunities for photographers, and the dynamic terrain around Crested Butte, Colorado allowed me to capture one image I was not sure I would (could?) get: […]

After doing several laps of the White Rim both solo and with mountain biking friends, I finally got the opportunity to host my own family for a 4-day MTB trip! Due to so many recent […]
