Well, 2019 is almost over and that means it's time for me to look back through all the photos I took this year and pick out a few of my favorites. Just like last year, my main goal wasn't really 'photography' this year, so I don't think I have that

A couple months ago a photo I took of my Jeep on the roughest part of the Lockhart Basin Road was used in 5280 - Denver's Mile High Magazine and I just noticed that the article is up online now. If you are interested in checking it out, the article

After many years of selling prints online through my website AnasaziPhoto.com, I have finally decided not to renew my Zenfolio account and to stop selling photos. To be honest, I've never really enjoyed selling my photos and am not going to miss the extra work. I will still keep a

Here's a photo of Owachomo Bridge in Natural Bridges National Monument that I took on Saturday after it snowed for most of the day on Black Friday.

Update 12/4/2019: Since it doesn't look like there are any more album releases that I am interested in for the rest of the year, I'm pretty sure that this is going to be the final list of my favorite albums of 2019 so I've now bumped it back up to

Since the last concert of the year that we were supposed to go to tomorrow evening has now been cancelled, I guess it's time for me to post up my Year in Concerts for 2019. I guess this last cancellation is a fitting way to end the year since a

A nice view of Airport Tower yesterday morning as I hiked down the Lathrop Trail in Canyonlands National Park at sunrise.

The purpose of this post is a send off to my trusty Osprey Atmos 65 backpack. I purchased my Osprey Atmos 65 in 2012 and have loved it ever since. This backpack has taken me to some amazing places over the years and carried my gear comfortably. Unfortunately, the pack

This morning Diane and I are headed to Salt Lake City so we can see Wage War, Like Moths To Flames and Dayseeker in concert tonight. It feels like it's been forever since we last traveled to go to a concert! Update: The show was sold out and packed! But

I'm still working through my photos from Little Death Hollow, so it's going to be a little bit before I get the full trip report up, but here's a teaser until then!

Although I didn't climb near as many peaks as I did last year, I still had a nice summer hiking in the mountains and thought I would continue to post my total peaks for each summer going forward. You can click on each mountain to see the full trip report.

Kind of a last minute decision this evening, but it looks like I'm going to head over to the Mesa Theater in a little bit to check out No Home and Fairwell.

Before floating the White River in Utah this weekend, we stopped to catch a sunset and camp at Fantasy Canyon on Friday night. This little arch looked nice at sunset.

This June I decided to set aside backpacking and hiking for a couple of weekends so I could spend some time on the rivers. It's been getting too hot to hike in the desert and there's still too much snow in the mountains, plus there is plenty of water coming
