I know I’m behind with my blog and I hope to get caught up soon with tales and photos of the trip to Leadville. I stepped out of the camper just now to see this and thought it was worth posting… The only lens I have with me is a 2.8 40mm “pancake” and I […]

SVFF 2014 – And Then It Was Over

From a Rock Star to a Legend and then a Folk Festival
