This was my final year to host our Summer and Fall Rocky Mountain Photography Adventures. I just returned from our final trip.
To all of you who participated in one or more
of our adventures in Colorado, THANK YOU.
I must admit, our drive back to Austin after our final trip was a bit emotional for me. I reflected on so many fun adventures, so many great photographs captured, so many experiences with wonderful people… so many memories. Including our scouting trips and all of our groups we led there, this involved 40 amazing trips to Colorado.
Rocky Mountain National Park is my “happy place” for so many reasons. Originally it was because I just loved the spectacular beauty of the area. But now, I see that what I’ve loved the most are the wonderful memories and the incredible people I’ve had the honor of sharing these adventures with. What a blessing. To say that I am grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to do this is an understatement. This has sincerely been the greatest joy of my life.
I am not retiring from my career in photography. I am just stopping the Rocky Mountain Workshops. It just feels right, to close this beloved chapter in my life. I still will be offering more classes in the Austin, TX area plus some smaller destination workshops.
I would love for you to join me for our 2025 Texas Hill Country Spring Photography Retreat near Hunt, Texas. Relax, have fun, and perhaps learn some new photography techniques on this 3-day weekend photography retreat March 27-30, 2025 in the beautiful Texas Hill Country! Click Here to learn more.
I have been a pro photographer for two decades. This is a “second career” for me, after having spent a couple of decades as a software engineer. I am so glad I took that leap of faith and transitioned over to this career in photography. This has been an amazing journey, and the journey continues.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to attend both a July and a September Rocky Mountain workshop. We have many great memories from both trips, both of the people we met and of the photographs we took. The trips will never be forgotten.
