October 14, 2002 - First solo roadtrip had a stop in Salida, Colorado. I’d spent New Year’s Eve during Y2K out there and had a great time I’m told, so I returned. On this trip I explored San Isabel National Forest with my friend Scotty. Here he is making me nervous with his proximity to the edge.

September 30, 2017 - Walking in Northside with a camera strapped around my shoulder & these gentlemen asked if I was a photographer. “I just take photos for fun” then they asked for a portrait. I was happy to oblige. (If anyone knows them, holler! I emailed it back then but it bounced back!)
September 29, 2016 - This juxtaposition of tree and El Camino makes me think of a moment in the movie Harold and Maude when Maude decides to rescue a tree from the city.
