For a number of years, some friends and I made our annual excursion down to the Crested Butte / Montrose area for some superb fall photography and this trip in the fall of 2013 was one of the best. We had all sorts of weather, snow, blue skies, rain, and electric sunsets. We also had a lot of down time so we had to get creative about how to spend some of our time, thankfully we never tired of one another and morale was always high! Where did we go and did we get any good photos? Read on to find out. 

While I believe it to be a universal fact, time spent at a cabin in the middle of nowhere is just as good as therapy without the high prices. Chase Shipley and I got some time at my family's cabin in the summer of 2017 and I can say that it's good for the soul. We spent time playing Yahtzee, throwing horse shoes, and chasing light. We visited American Basin for the first time and didn't have to deal with the nightmare that is "Sunday traffic back from the mountains".

Two years after the Papoose Fire scorched over 49,000 acres near Creede, Colorado, I returned to witness the land's recovery. The once-charred forests now show signs of rebirth, with new growth emerging amidst the remnants of devastation. This reflection captures the transformation of the landscape and the enduring spirit of nature in the face of adversity.
