Had the time of my life today thanks to my awesome wife! She went out of the box this year for my Bday and got me some indoor skydiving sessions. It’s a giant vertical wind tunnel that simulated a free fall. It was much harder than I anticipated and way more fun than I would have ever imagined. The staff at Sky Venture Colorado were AWESOME!!! http://www.skyventurecolorado.com/ I … Continue Reading

What a blast it was last evening! The boys and I had a little camera training session. My 5 year old and 2 year old wanted to take pictures. So I got all the gear out and let them have a good time! Not much else to say… just needed to test my blog linkage from Flickr…
Last week a friend of mine and I got the opportunity to see Obama speak live (http://www.wickedz.com/photos/obama). He was in Westminster Colorado for a couple hours and was scheduled to appear at a local high school. It all started with a 2 hour wait in line. Almost 2 hours just to get through security and into the building and another 30 minutes of no movement of the line inside to get into the gym. Security opened up a second set of doors to the gym and were slowing finding seats … Continue Reading
I recently noticed a large sign inside an office. It said, “If want to, you will find a way; if you don’t, you will find an excuse.” It was hand written and it didn’t quote the author. That phrase pretty much sums it up! Think about the last excuse you gave… I bet it was for something you really didn’t want to do. I know it was for me.

Where did the good fight go? You know the one where we all get in a conference room and hash out the details to solve a problem? Of course the fight I’m talking about is not a physical one, but a heated discussion with passion and caring spirit for the cause at hand. I’m talking about the crucial conversations that occur in the work place when “work” is getting done. These crucial conversations and problem solving are key to establishing trust and confidence in one another; especially when working cross-organizationally. The culture of a company defines the level of politics. While we may agree … Continue Reading
Nothing like wedding cake in your face on your special day. I attended a post-wedding get together of my cousin Brandon. He was married during the winter in a beautiful cabin new Rocky Mountain National Forest. Kerry and I were honored to attend. Anyway, this get together was for the larger crowd of many friends and family of Brandon and Deann. If you would like to check out the action http://www.wickedz.com/moats/ . (Brandon and Deann, let me know which pictures you want and I’ll get them on CD for you) I … Continue Reading
In reviewing my photos I found this one from last month. I borrowed my dad’s 10D and used a 16-35 f/2.8L @ 16mm for this shot. Handheld, 1/125th sec @ f / 22, ISO 200. Only an “L” could give you a kiss of light like this. The rock face was being lit by the reflection from the red rock behind me.
Here’s one that’s hand held that is surprisingly sharp. 1/100th sec @ f / 5.6, ISO 400, 300MM focal lenth on my 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L taken at 7:15 in the evening.
