I am pleased to announce the availability of my new Ouray Photo Guide book. Those who know me know that I have a serious addiction to Ouray and the surrounding mountains. So I went thru 40 years worth of photos and made a book!
The 6×9 book is 70 pages with about 200 photos. I combine photo tips, location info, history and inspiration. You can learn more about the book at my Etsy shop: http://bit.ly/OurayBook

I have always been interested in astronomy. I grew up in rural Nebraska with dark skies. From a very early age, my mom taught me the constellations and made sure that Santa Claus brought me cool books!
We were very serious too. When I was ten, mom enrolled me in an adult ed astronomy class in Omaha, a 300 mile round trip every Saturday for 6 weeks in 1958. One morning, we stopped en route in Lincoln and the waitress asked why in the world were we on the road that day? We had wondered why Highway 6 was so empty of traffic. Our car had no radio and we had not heard the news. Turns out Charles Starkweather, the serial killer, was killing folks in the area and the public was warned to stay indoors. This did not apply to us, of course, and on we went to Omaha. Carl Sagan would have been proud.
Over the years, I dabbled in night photography but with film, it was always a bit of a crap shoot. Digital has made it much more successful and with my Sony camera especially so. A few weeks ago found me on the highway south of Ouray watching the milky way track across the inky black sky. Jupiter was a bright beacon and I felt my spirit recharging. Expect many more photos to come.
