If you can't photograph in your own backyard, then how do you expect to photograph anywhere else? Some people believe that it is the subject or the camera that makes a great photograph. You can take a terrible photograph in Rocky Mountain National Park and you can take a terrific photograph in your own backyard. It is never the subject... it is always the photographer. The more you understand how a camera works and the more you become “as one” with the camera, the better the photographer you will become. When a great baseball player picks up their bat, it feels just right in his hands.

Hiking with a 3 year old turned out to be quite a surprise! Philip’s daughter, her husband and their 3 year old son, Marty, came to visit us for a week. This was their first time here in Estes Park. We didn’t know what to expect from a little 3 year old in the park or out on the trails. We started the week doing short walks like Estes Lake, Sprague Lake and Lily Lake. They are all .5 to 1.0 mile long, flat and easy to get around. There is a lot to see from the wildflowers to the lake and the mountains. We all enjoyed them and Little Marty did quite well…walking all by himself.

When we lived on the East Coast, we were avid sea kayakers and enjoyed leaving very early in the morning when there was absolutely no wind (referred to as a “sea of glass”). We have also paddled down the coast of Kauai and Maui along side of the humpback whales, giant sea turtles, gray seals, harbor seals, etc. Now… what does sea kayaking have to do with On-The-Go Photography (OTG)? Well, there is a similarity. Years ago, we met and became good friends with Derek Hutchinson, who is considered to be the father of modern day kayaking.
WHAT IS ON-THE-GO PHOTOGRAPHY? »

In my younger days I made a lot of money through my photography even though it was a secondary job (my photography ran alongside my teaching career). I suppose it's the dream of most photographers to make a living from the "hobby" and it can be done. The main problem as I see it is that the dream is to make money from the images we shoot for pleasure and think we are good at - nature, landscape, weddings etc etc. The problem there is that it is a very crowded market and the door isn't opened automatically for you. Whether we like it or not, whatever type of photography we do there are far better photographers out there doing the same type as shots.

The next day, we thought that we might “try” hiking up to Nymph Lake and Dream Lake. Little Marty got his little walking stick and his hat and was on his way. A Zip-Loc bag of cut-up apples and some pretzels went a long way for encouragement. Next thing we knew, we were at Nymph Lake (which is about .5 miles) where we saw the beautiful pond lilies with pretty yellow flowers and spectacular views of Flattop and Hallett Peak. He loved walking around the lake and taking everything in. Should we try Dream Lake? It’s only .6 miles more. Why not!
