Wow, I'm not usually a fan of "art-nude" photography but the set by ANDRÉ BRITO is stunning. Not safe for work just so you know, but definitely worth looking at. #>
Years ago Colorado Public Radio was available on the FM dial and life was good. Then came the horrible split where classical music was on the FM channel and the news went off to AM radio. At that time I swore they'd never see another dime in donation money from me until they went back to the FM channel (I have very few AM tuners around to listen to it and reception in my car was poor even at the best of times.) Turns out this month they've gone back to FM! You can again listen to Colorado Public Radio on FM channel 90.1. So, following through on my pledge I've just kicked in as a monthly donor to the station... #>

RAINBOW FALLS! The "Forgotten Waterfall" of the Pikes Peak Region. I was part of a photoshoot there yesterday, it's right off the highway but still fairly secluded, we saw very few other people there. Keep in mind his directions are for coming down the hill on Highway 24, if you are coming from Colorado Springs you don't want to follow them too close. Here's the site on Google Maps: Rainbow Falls on Google Maps. It's dead-center on that map view, unfortunately they do not have any closer zoomed images of the site. Also keep in mind there is a mind-boggling amount of graffiti there, if you go to shoot women in bathing suits like we did you'll need to keep working your angles to avoid having too much of an urban look (though sometimes that added to the effect.) #>

Last year I bought a new fridge, one with a nice built-in water filter (and door-dispenser ice and cold water). This year I needed to replace the filter and hit the local Sears where I'd bought the fridge. Naturally I should have just ordered online, Water Filters Fast has it for 30% off what I paid in the store... Next time, next time. #>
