I took the guided Lonestar Trail cross country ski tour. The day was relatively warm for mid-winter and the ice had already started to melt on the river.

This is actually a completely color photo, but it was very dark.

The article was published with those very amateur photos. In time, I bought an Olympus OMD-EM5, a great camera for nature and travel photographers and discovered that I enjoyed telling stories with pictures more than I did with words. The last twenty year have been an incredibly exciting time as resources for photographers have exploded. I have been lucky enough to have some great teachers along the way...
