  • Broomfield vs Holy Family Basketball 2026

    Broomfield vs Holy Family Basketball 2026

    I photographed the girls’ and boys’ basketball games between Broomfield and Holy Family last weekend. The Broomfield girls geeked out a win while the Holy Family boys survived a furious rally by Broomfield secure the victory. Broomfield dug itself a 17-0 hole to start but clawed back into the game to trail only by 9 at the half. After rapidly chipping away at the lead to start the second half, The Eagles faded down the stretch. The game featured several dunks which was exciting to see.

  • Monarch Riverdale Ridge 4A Football

    I photographed the 4A football playoff game between Riverdale Ridge and Monarch last weekend. I witnessed my first high school overtime game. The rules are related to college rule but the ball is placed at the opponent’s 10-yard line. Monarch stopped Riverdale at 1 to seal the victory, 14-7. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen as much action in such a low-scoring game. Monarch’s defense line had a field day recording 4 sacks and 2 strip fumbles in the second half to make like miserable for the Riverdale quarterbacks.

  • 2025 Boy’s Soccer Final

    I spent last Saturday at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs photographing the 2025 CHSAA Boy’s Soccer Finals. It was a lot of fun as usual although a very long day with 4 matches.. Congrats to Crested (2A), Kent Denver (3A), Mullen (4A), and Regis (5A) on taking home the state crowns. The best match of the day was Crested Butte -Forge Christian as no goals were scored in regulation or overtime despite several chances. Crested Butte came back from a 3-1 deficit in penalty kicks to prevail 4-3.

  • Arches and Capitol Reef

    Arches and Capitol Reef

    I took a quick trip to Arches and Capitol Reef National Parks in Utah. I love the skies in October and the beautiful fall color this time of year. Late October is the perfect time to visit Capitol Reef as the cottonwoods put on a show.

    I stopped at Arches to hike up to Delicate Arch and capture the sunset before I head further west. The light was great as I had a cloudless sky. In the morning, I hiked up to Longbow Arch. This arch is accessed form the parking lot for Poison Spider Mesa. It is a challenging two-mile hike that brings you to an impressive arch that has just a crack of daylight behind it. The trail climbs steeply from the parking lot and ascends a section of steep slick rock that climbs out of a small bowl. There are iron handle grips to assist your climb in this one section. After about 1/2 mile, the trail runs sharply to the right and heads up into rocks mounds of Poison Spider Mesa. It is quite scenic through this section of trail. The trail then veers to the right in about 1 mile as it makes its approach to the arch. The trail climbs up to the base of the arch where you can watch a number of repellers come through the arch on ropes. This is an easy trail to follow with green paint splotches leading the way.

    In the afternoon, I made my way to Capitol Reef. I stopped at Crack Canyon for a quick hike. The Canyon is located on the back side of Goblin Valley State Park and the trailhead is accessed via a rough dirt rough. The Canyon features some amazing swiss cheese rock in its namesake narrows section. The walls converge here with just a crack of sunlight appearing above. The walls are a beautiful orange/brown color in this section. I had my camera stolen out of my car the last time I came here in 2020, so it was good to reclaim some memories without incident.

    As I drove toward Capitol Reef, I marveled at the trees along the Fremont River which were a brilliant yellow. I wandered down one road and got some nice photos of the trees contrasted with the chalky buttes behind them. I finally arrived at Capitol Reef, and took some nice sunset photos. The color in the rocks really glowed about 10 minutes before sunset. The next day, I hiked the Rim Overlook trail and was treated to a beautiful sunrise over Pectol’s Pyramid. I saw the sun light up the Hickman Bridge just underneath me. I turned around at the 2.3 mile mark but could have gone on to the Navajo Knobs another 2.2 miles further down the trail. Even so, the view from the turnaround was great. Unfortunately, clouds were pouring in quickly so I headed down just in time.

  • Colorado Iowa State Football 2025

    Colorado played a good defensive game to take the football game from 22nd ranked Iowa State, 24-17. A late interception in the end zone and a key stop on 4th down helped CU seal the win.

  • Fall Color Steamboat, CO

    I took a drive near Steamboat Springs, CO to see the fall color this week. It was really vibrant this year with numerous reds and oranges interspersed amongst the normal yellow aspen. The weather was perfect, too. It was a great chance to try out my new Hasselblad X2dii. What an amazing camera!

  • CU Wyoming Football 2025

    Colorado topped Wyoming last night in a non conference football game at Folsom Field in Boulder, CO. CU gashed the Wyoming defense for several big plays.

  • 2025 UAPSL Final Liberia vs Senegal

    I photographed the final of the United African Professional League match between Senegal and Liberia last night at the Aurora Schools Stadium. Liberia won in penalty kicks after a tightly contested match ended at 1-1 in regulation. What a fun night.

  • Lake Charles, Holy Cross Wilderness

    My son and I backpacked to Lake Charles in the Holy Cross Wilderness recently. The lake lies at the head of a glacial valley in the Holy Cross Wilderness near Eagle, CO. After spending the night at the lake, we hiked the mile up to Mystic Island Lake, another pretty lake in the chain.

    The trail starts at the end of a Forest Service Road. It ascends steeply for about a quarter mile and then levels off for the next mile as it passes through aspen forest. It crosses a small boulder field around the 1 mile mark. Around 1.75 miles, you enter the Holy Cross Wilderness. You pass through a couple of small, marshy meadows. You will then pass small streams on the left and after the third stream, around the 2.75 mark, the trail begins to steadily gain elevation. Over the next 2 miles, the trail seems to relentlessly ascend the rocky terrain. The main stream will come back into view and the trail passes by some small cascades. Finally, you will reach the lake around the 5 mile mark. It is a sight to behold. The mountains soar above the lake. It is one of the prettiest valleys in Colorado.

    The continues around the left side of the lake and then ascends about 200 feet to Mystic Island Lake. There is only a small steep section to reach the lake.

    If you are patient, try your hand at catching the small cutthroat trout that live in both the lakes.

    The weather was a mixed bag on the trip. It was humid on the hike in and then it poured after dinner as we were trying to set up camp. Nothing like water, mud, and pine needles coating a tent. The clouds parted just before sunset lighting up the mountains in the distance. A very special moment. The clouds cleared and I was treated to a star show and a great view of the Milky Way.
