Morning Light Photography - July 2008 Newsletter

Warm summer greetings from the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park! The flowers are out, the streams are flowing but there is still a lot of snow! This has been an unusual start to the summer as many areas that are normally clear by now, are still snow covered. This has provided some new opportunities for photography, while also making some hikes a little more challenging. Yesterday morning I spent sunrise up at Shelf and Solitude Lakes in a little known corner of Glacier Gorge. I went up intending to shoot a particular view of Shelf Lake with the waterfalls cascading into the lake, but the deep snow obscured 90% of those falls so it was time to look for some new compositions (which is not a bad thing).

Back in March I slipped on the ice and badly damaged my ankle. It resulted in nearly 12 weeks off my feet. I'm now back up and at it, though a little less fit than I would like to be. Since the doctor released me from my crutches, I've been trying to make up for lost time visiting many beautiful areas of Rocky. If you have a few minutes check out the "New" section of my website to see what I've been up to.

I know that many of you have been waiting to hear when I will begin offering photography workshops. I now have my permits and can begin giving workshops next week. The first workshop (July 11-12) will be held on the evening of Friday July 11th and the morning of July 12th. Since this will be my first workshop and I may still need to iron out some kinks, I'm offering a 50% discount for this initial workshop only.
