Animas Forks Ghost Town and Mine Photos

Here are some pictures from the Animas Forks Ghost town. Keep in mind, you are looking at homes that know over a hundred years of history, winters, sunsets, successes, and failures. The thought of these buildings standing that long in the harsh winters they get at around 11,000 feet. 😳 If only you traveled the roads in and out... it's truly mind-boggling to me.

Camelback Gallery's Artist of the Month

Image
      You read that right! For the Month of December (2021), I was chosen, along with six other artists, to be Camelback Gallery's Artist of the Month! I could not believe it! I was literally in tears when I read the email around 2:30 this morning. I honestly thought I lost since I didn't hear from them. But lo and behold, when I checked the monthly announcement email, I saw my name listed as Artist of the Month!     Camelback Gallery is an International Online Gallery that promotes artists' work by hosting online competitions, exhibitions, and featured artist residencies. They were founded in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2017, having upwards of 40,000+ site visitors a month. So to say that it is quite an honor & privilege that the CB Team chose my photo to be represented on their blog for Artist of the Month is not an understatement. Not only is my photo present on their blog, but it is also showcased on their Instagram and Facebook pages! View this post on Instagra

Bishop Castle

Image
We took a trip recently to Kansas which afforded me the opportunity to photograph some other areas I haven't been to. I was looking forward to photographing one spot in particular: Bishop Castle. Bishop Castle is located in Rye Colorado, about 40 miles southwest of Pueblo. The owner and building, Jim Bishop, has been working on this beautiful creation for over 60 years. The following is taken directly from their website: For nearly 60 years, Jim Bishop has been constructing one of the most impressive monuments to perseverance in Colorado. Bishop castle is a monumental statue in stone and iron that cries loud testament to the beauty and glory of not only Having a Dream, but Sticking with your Dream no matter what, and most importantly, that if you do believe in yourself and strive to maintain that belief, anything can happen! Three full stories of interior rooms complete with a Grand Ballroom, soaring towers and bridges with vistas of a hundred miles, and a Fire-Breathing Dragon ma
