The Leechpit

Located on Nevada and Dale (in the old service station formally occupied by Toons), the Leechpit is where you go to buy records, skateboards, vintage duds, and all the other paraphernalia craved by hipsters and their ilk. Since I'm a huge fan of vintage anything, I admit to having spent a few bucks there from time to time. I took this picture while on a senior portrait shoot a couple of weekends ago. It's a photogenic place.

A small aircraft passed overhead while I was in the middle of a shoot for one of my corporate clients last Tuesday evening. I had to take a picture of it, of course ;^)

This is my first time participating in Skywatch Friday, and I can't promise that I will do it again, but I'll try and remember to! (This photo was just so perfect, and today just happens to be Friday, so...) To see more Skywatch Friday pictures, click HERE.

Mammatus clouds over Colorado Springs

On Tuesday afternoon I was taking a little break from my studio to get a quick bite to eat, and as I was driving I noticed these striking mammatus clouds forming to the east. I've never in my life seen mammatocumulus. It's quite a rare phenomenon. Luckily I had a camera with me and got a good shot of the dramatic sky. Very cool!

A spin in the old Falcon

I caught this carefree group cruising up Manitou Avenue in a perfect, early '60s Ford Falcon (I think it's a '63) on Sunday evening. Looks like fun!

The Manitou Springs Town Clock

Manitou's town clock, officially known as the Wheeler Town Clock, captured yesterday evening. I love its Belle Epoque styling, so feminine and beautiful.
