The light in Santa Fe

Howdy everyone! I just got back from a week in Santa Fe and I'm still in shock over how blue the sky is and how saturated the colors appear. I uploaded a few pictures to our gallery here last night, but I wanted to let you all know that the colors you see are REAL. No Photoshopping was done. Amazing! Continue

Are Photographers really a Threat?

Digitizing The Past

This year I set myself a challenge. Digitize ALL of my pre-digital age photos! To some this may not seem like much of a challenge but to a pro photographer its overwhelming.
