Honoring the men and women who’ve put their lives on the line to help insure our freedom, liberty, and way of life. My father-in-law was a TEC 3 with the U.S. Army during World War II serving in Asia. As a photographer very familiar with the film era it astounded me to hear him tell...
One of my favorite storytelling photographs, taken way back in the day. It was originally shot on assignment for The Denver Post to show the sub zero weather Denver was experiencing that night.

ABOUT My blog
I'm working hard this year to overcome my love / hate relationship with blogging. Over the years, I've looked at is as a difficult chore, a task to be done on a regular basis.

Changing up my attitude in 2024. Will post because I have stories to share. When writing about the amazing adventures and experiences from "back in the day", it's fun and often enlightening to relive those memories.
Also posting about present day events and photo subjects allows for "real time' sharing of those experiences.
