love for photography was borne out of my passion for travel and seeing the world. \u00a0Every once in a while, I run into somebody that has that same passion. \u00a0I was in Denver for a business trip

through the Garden of the Gods. \u00a0We then began your climb 14k ft up to Pikes Peak, interrupted along with way with many photo opps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we crossed the Colorado-Utah border I saw God in the sky in the form of huge gold sunburning clouds above the desert that seemed to point a finger at me and say, &#8220;Pass here and go on, you&#8217;re on the road to heaven.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2015
