July 2006 Newsletter
In this issue:
What's New My apologies for no newsletter in June. Between my trip to Moab and life in general, things have been hectic, with little time for the routines of life. Hopefully, in about three weeks, life will return to some semblance of normalacy. I am not counting on it, but I can hope. There are a few new pictures on the web site and I will hopefully add more over the next 2-3 weeks. I still have the Moab pictures to work through and some shots from the Greeley, Colorado Stampede, which we attended last week. We took some Chinese visitors to see their first rodeo there. It is quite different from anything they have seen in China. The Moab, Utah trip was wonderful. The four day raft trip through Cataract Canyon was fascinating ahd the landscape is unique. We ran both class 4 and class 5 rapids. We then spent a day in Arches National Park shooting both sunrise and sunset before attending a full day of photography presentations. Moab Paper Company did a great job in putting together the trip. I will have pictures up sometime over the next couple of weeks and I will let everyone know when they are ready to view. Where in the World is Mitch? Other than a couple of camping trips in August and September, I am home for a while. Susan and I leave for the Maine coast on September 30th and a week after I return from that trip, it is off to China for 3-4 weeks. This trip will include the Great Wall, the Teracota Warriors and other historical sites. Picture of the Month One thing the Rocky Mountains have an abundance of it fast moving water. Take any hike in the mountains and you will come across many small streams, often with small waterfalls. Water is fun to photograph and there are lots of approaches to doing so. You can freeze the water, bringing out the myriad details of the currents and rocks, or allow things to blur, giving a sense of motion. This month's picture, Water Over Rock, was taken above Hamilton Falls, on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park. It was in late June, when the melting snow was still feeding the rivers and streams. I liked the contrast of the lighter water against the darker rocks.
