Reflective perspective of the aptly named Castle Mountain. No dragons slain, but I did manage to catch a few decent sized trout.

Back in September I went for a semi-sketchy bushwhacking adventure on Red Mountain Pass to get this perspective of the Million Dollar Highway. I learned that granite boulder mine tailings are far from an ideal place to stand, let alone set up a tripod. After some sliding, falling around, and a few surprise moonwalk descents down the crumbling hillside I ended up with a couple stable shots after almost 3 hours of self induced antics. Sometimes you strike out and sometimes you strike gold. Red Mountain, Colorado

Artist, friend, mentor, and brother from another mother, Quang Ho and his family have had a huge influence on my life and artistic path from a young age. Amidst a holiday dinner and with the aid of a quality single barrel scotch I was able to convince him to step outside and paint with a flashlight for a portrait idea I had in mind for him. I ran these exposures manually from around 20 seconds to a minute long, depending on the duration needing to complete the light painting. Incredible watching him blindly scribe the area with a basic flashlight to create these forms almost effortlessly. Good fun and quite an honor collaborating with the humble master. Cincinnati, Ohio
