Silverton Colorado Photographs

Super cool thrift store in Silverton, Colorado. The Jailhouse Thrift Store. A collection as eclectic and funky as the town itself. Really a pleasure to shop here and wander around for a few minutes – even if was freezing cold.

Dispatch Tour Phase 2 Complete – 14 More DI’s Off The List

Dispatch Tour Phase 2 Complete

R0012101_strayfoto_2013_

We visited all the Deseret Industries store in Washington, Oregon, and California over 10 days at the end of July. It was quite the trip. I ended up with a couple flannels and two older cameras. I’ve created a page dedicated to the Dispatch project. I’ll update the page regularly as we get closer to the end of the project. 24 stores left to visit…

While on the way to the DISPATCH Phase 2 we briefly stopped in Green River, Ut and shot a few photos. I’ll be reporting on the trip hopefully by Tuesday of next week. Here’s a few images until then.

We hit the last four Deseret Industries in California yesterday – Calimesa, Colton, Los Angeles, and Chula Vista. Some photos from the tour below. Tomorrow back to Utah and the warmth. You know you’ve spent the summer in the desert when San Diego seems cold.

On the DISPATCH tour road

Good grief. 6am in San Francisco and a full day ahead. 8 Deseret Industries down and 4 to 6 to go.

Went to the ocean, drove along the coast and visited the Schulz museum.

This is also a bit of a test – I’m creating this entire post using only the WordPress App and a Galaxy 7 inch tablet.

More to come later!

Thanks.

More Arches Tours and DISPATCH P2

strayfoto arches tour
I’ve been guiding a few Arches sunset tours for the Moab Adventure Center lately. It’s a great chance to get away from the computer and it forces me into Arches for a few hours.

I don’t have a lot of time for serious photography while on the tours but I’ve gotten some chances to play a little more with my Ricoh GR and the double exposure feature, and I occasionally see folks with cool cameras that are willing to be included in my Cameras of Canyonlands project.

On a separate note, we’re leaving on phase 2 of the DISPATCH (Deseret Industries Super Photo Adventure Tour) tomorrow.

strayfoto DISPATCH Tour

We’re going to hit the Deseret Industries in Idaho, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and southern California. It should be 3800 miles of thrift store mayhem… my next post will be from the road and hopefully I’ll have some new DI photos to share.

 

Thanks for looking.

July 2013 Cataract Canyon Trip with Tour West

I got off the river Saturday evening. Here’s a video of some of the low water highlights.

Enjoy!

Springtime in Colorado

A couple large projects in Colorado have kept me really busy these past few weeks. I’ve been able to take a few photos though… Including one of the “supermoon” (can I rant about how stupid media outlets have to have a supposedly marketable name for every single thing?) and one semi-self-portrait. I’m happy to share a few. The high mountains of Colorado in spring are beautiful. All photos here shot with the Ricoh GR. Enjoy.
