Happy New Year

31Dec09

643 // December 31, 2009 A very spur-of-the-moment photograph of Keystone’s Torch Light Parade down the mountain. Caught it at the tail end — wish I knew earlier so that I could set up a better long-exposure shot. Next time I suppose. Have a very safe and happy new year!

Squirrel on a Wire

20Dec09

637 // December 20, 2009 The weather has been unseasonably warm down here in Denver. Which, I don’t mind at all.

Framed Cameras

22Nov09

618 // November 22, 2009 Framed Cine-Kodak Eight Model 20 (1932 – movie camera) I will apologize in advance, as some (maybe most of my frequent) readers have already seen these photos. Been off my feet for a week now, sick, so I have been running really low on recent photos and the reserve bank. […]
