Spring at the famous Crystal Mill is a special time. The water runs high from the winter snow melt. This historic old mill dates back to the 1890's. It is only accessible by high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicles or hiking. It's location is near the tiny town of Marble Colorado which is not far from Aspen and Carbondale. This beautiful landscape picture comes in fine art paper prints, ready to hang museum quality canvas or the ultimate brilliance of high end superb metal. I love taking pictures of some of the most beautiful places on this amazing planet. I spent most of my work life in the radio broadcasting arena first as a D.J spinning records while still in high school. Slowly I worked my way up the ladder and eventually became the President of a radio company operating radio stations all over the country. My last 15 years were spent in Colorado and it was there I started taking pictures of the amazing scenery in the Rocky Mountains. I retired early from radio after a severe hearing loss came upon me suddenly. This shattered by ability to enjoy music anymore which was so awful and hard to get used to. We moved back to Nashville where our family lived. Not knowing what I would do next. One day some friends saw a few of my mountain pictures in our home and they said……”this stuff is good……people would buy these”. I didn’t believe them at first but I kept hearing it from other friends. One day while on vacation in Breckenridge, Co. with zero confidence, I took a few of my canvas pictures to town. To my amazement the first store said “Yes, these are good….our customers will love these”. They ordered 6 pictures which totaled less than $400, but to me it was like I hit the jackpot. I was so excited which is a little funny because in my radio career I managed 8 figure budgets. I was on top of the world and a new career was born. Today my landscape pictures are carried throughout the country. I find great satisfaction in capturing beautiful places on earth.
