Teig resting in a field of snow leftover from the winter snows above Parshall Colorado. We had a fun day exploring the hills and ridges with the Colorado River flowing through the valley below. My brother was flyfishing but we decided we needed to stretch our legs and climb a few of the hills and get some fantastic views in this area.
Icicles in Bear Creek
Many of the plants next to Bear Creek in Colorado freeze in winter. These branches look fascinating with the thick ice and light shining through them.
Teig the "TrailDog "
I wanted to introduce my favorite model/assistant/friend. Teig is a 5 year old labradoodle who lives, works and accompanies me on my adventures. He never complains and is very eager to explore and photographic new places. He also models for me in many of the locations we visit and his wage is just a few treats, which is extremely affordable as models go. Being attractive and very camera friendly makes him so easy to work with and loves to take "Frisbee" breaks in between shots which makes most shoots very enjoyable. Here is Teig in Wild Rivers National Monument on the Rio Grande in Northern New Mexico. As you can plainly see, he is a natural with his pose and his facial control is spectacular. I have never worked with a better and more professional model.
