Year End Statistics...

Just doing my year end backups, cleanups, and counts. While doing so I found a few numbers pleasantly surprising.

• In 2010 I spent 55 full days in Yellowstone National Park (part of 18 trips).


• In 2010 I spent 21 days in the Canadian Rockies.


• In 2010 I spent about 30 days skiing.


• All together that means I spent over 100 days in 2010 out in great places and not at home or work.


• I also rode several thousand miles on my bike (more time well spent in the outdoors).


• I have taken 200,000 images as "personal work" over the last five years, sense switching to digital.


• I have 57,000 images online from work and by my estimates I have taken around 500,000 images for work in the last 5 years.

When I moved to the "Mountain West" in 2005, I knew that I belonged out here, and five years later I still believe that I am blessed to be able to spend so much time in wild places and to be able to take a camera along (and to create images to share with all of you).

2010 was a great year and I look forward to 2011 and the challenges and opportunities that come with it.

God Bless, and as always... Happy Shooting
