Longs Peak is the highest mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is one of the fifty-four 14,000-foot peaks of Colorado. It is a prized playground for the budding hiker or mountaineer, the intermediate to advanced rock climber, the intermediate to advanced ice climber, the middle-altitude big wall aid climber; and it even sports a few high-end rock routes.

I owned and operated a professional studio in central Kansas for 20 years and moved to Colorado in 1994. Part of the studio's early success came from creating outdoor portraiture using controlled lighting...
