Looking at one photograph at a time
Photo is copyright of the photographer, Thomas Broening While browsing Conscientious today, I found the referral to Thomas Broening, who is a commerical photographer as well as having his personal projects and blog. I have found the urban (empty) landscapes of his personal work very interesting as he states that he is using them as a reflection of his 'inner conflicts'.... Continue Reading →
I think that most may not believe me, but I have had my Epson 4800 for about two years and yesterday after my last post, I made my first color print on this printer. Even if my Black and White prints are in RGB color mode with a added Hue adjustment layer to provide my warm tone, I... Continue Reading →
Recently I had to face a not so nice fact, I had a bias against color images. Now I knew that I was not a people photographer, preferring the landscape, usually sans people. That was all that I needed to create a nice metaphor. I also know that I usually photographed in color but happily... Continue Reading →
As my title states, I am trying to get organized. My bad tendency is to get over committed and at some point, I need to figure out who is on first and what is on second. I am trying to get organized after being out of the country for three weeks, back a week and... Continue Reading →
Just a quick note that we are back in SoCal after completing our marathon drive back from Vail yesterday. A long time in the saddle and then my knee brace starting pinching about three hours from home, bummer. I made a slight adjustment and comfortably made the last stretch.

So this is making lemonade out of lemons, which... Continue Reading →
Yesterday when we stopped for a lunch break during our skiing, I noticed these snow covered tables and chairs off in one corner of the courtyard up in the Mid-Vail ski 'hut'. Usually they have the BBQ running and there are a ton of folks milling about getting some fuel for the rest of the... Continue Reading →
I have to admit, the reason we are here in Vail is to ski and party with family and friends. Today was a ski day, two inches of powder over a deep base, constant snow flurries and a very light breeze. Very nice conditions! Then in the afternoon, we had hazy sun and occassional sunlight,...

Yesterday was a wonderful dog day, as you might guess from this laid back pooch who was hanging out in Vail Village. Yep, he was a show stopper, so can you blame me? Something seen in Vail;- ) And I am pretty sure that I made my quota yesterday, six images. Today was a different... Continue Reading →
For Vail, Colorado, skiing came first, then the town, versus many of the other Colorado ski destinations. So Vail during the winter is all about skiing. So you can easily say that skiing is a central aspect of Vail. But there also a very large organizational infrastructure that makes this work well. Currently, Vail is... Continue Reading →
