Just returned last night from a 3 day Fall Color workshop with Dan Ballard (who I will be going with to New Zealand for a private workshop next April 2014). I took several hundred photos during 6 different location shoots in the Ridgway/Ouray area just north of the San Juan mountains. The colors there have not yet peaked..almost wish I could have stayed another week...but we had great light most of the time and it even snowed on Red Mountain Pass during our first session on Friday (Sept. 27).  Dan also gave an amazing 2 hour tutorial on Adobe Lightroom at the end of the workshop that provided me a wonderful workflow to achieving brilliant colors in post processing as seen below. This was taken before sunrise on the "Dallas Divide" early Sunday morning. There were many photographers besides our group, lined up here for this shot (some were with a workshop led by Colorado Photographer 'laureate' John Fielder).

I have taken off this week to drive down to New Mexico for a few days. Arrived in TAOS and took this image at dawn by the Rio Grande Gorge bridge, looking east toward the mountains near Taos. This image comprised of 3 exposures processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro software.

After receiving an invitation upon review of my work, I am now being represented by The Artrepreneur, a web based company that markets artwork including photography to the general public through their website (www.artist.cm) as well as to many other businesses such as galleries, interior design businesses, etc.
