The Best Camera...

It has been said that The Best Camera is the One That's With You.  That is sooo very true.  A few months ago I purchased the Canon G12 just so I'd be more inclined to have a camera with me wherever I went; and I've hardly carried it.  For that I've kicked myself many a time because I've not been able to capture a moment in time, a grand display of beauty.  I'm going to try and be more motivated to carry a camera.  As Dave Ramsey conveyed at a leadership conference last week, vision without motivation is worthless.


So without further ado, here are 2,000 more words taken on my new Android phone a LG G2X with 8mp camera...

The things weekends are made of...

 Stars puncturing the curtain of night.

 Lazy days (I'm the luckiest).

 God-made sunsets in manmade windows.

 Beautiful works of art 

(Lamborghini Superleggera 1 of only 172 ever made).

 Hot days, hot dogs and 

doing what you love.

ColoRADo summer!

This summer has been amazing.  I've spent so much time outdoors this summer, and have gone camping almost every other weekend with my beautiful wife Andrea.  Here's a snapshot of what the past few of weeks have held.

Biking down Pikes Peak (from tree-line @ 12,000 ft):

Leadville Trail 100 MTB Race:

 Andrea and I on the "Powerline"

 1st Place finisher - Todd Wells  6:23:38

 2nd Place finisher - Alban Lakata  6:27:57

 My friend Todd Murray!

 Nothing wrong with double-fisting it

 One of my favorite images from this summer

After a night of camping we hiked Mt. Elbert.  

The tallest peak in Colorado @ 14,433 ft

Day One of the U.S. Pro Cycling Challenge!:

Check out those "stunna" shades!

Video of the day...

Loving the new music by Ben Howard.

His debut album comes out in October. 

I'm hoping it'll be available in the States.

HERE'S the song, Keep Your Head Up

It's a "two-fer"...

1st up, a hilarious idea for an engagement shoot: HERE

2ndly, a band I stumbled across yesterday that has music videos equally as beautiful as their music: HERE

I took so many photos while away on my honeymoon, about 1000 to be exact. I keep stumbling across some sweet ones while scrolling through Lightroom. Here are a few more for your viewing pleasure.
