I was so excited when I drew Amy’s name as the winner of my first Facebook drawing. I’ve known Amy since she was 12 or so when she and my sister became friends in middle school. Shannon and Amy worked at Vail for a winter together, and when Shannon left for NC, Amy stayed to live the ski town life. Good thing, because she met her husband Eric at a date auction (a date auction!!) a couple of years later. Like us, they are settled in suburban Denver with their pup Lily, escaping to the mountains whenever possible. We met up at Chautauqua Park in Boulder last month right before sunset to snap some family pictures. One of the photography skills I’m working on is working high ISOs… It was getting dark fast for this session, and I had to crank my ISO to keep my shutter speed fast enough for Lily! I absolutely love how the higher ISOs give a grain and richness to the photograph. May be finding myself in low light more often on purpose:) Thanks you two!! Looking forward to hut trips and beers with you in the near future!
