Summer Guardian

If you enjoy my photography, considering buying a print- The funds will go towards having my camera repaired.
Sunday night while on a photoshoot up in the mountains, my camera gave up the ghost. It would appear the shutter died completely. After having just spent nearly a full week very ill in the hospital, I don't have the money to get a new camera or even repair it (it's loooong out of warranty) They say when it rains it pours, I think I must be going through a flood. I'm quite sad by it all as photography is my relief from an otherwise completely crazy world, it offers me peace of mind which I don't find anywhere else. This year has been incredibly hard for me, from being sick where I am facing my own mortality (because being septic is fun! Not.) to finances from hospital bills to just keeping my sanity, I have always gone to my camera to find comfort. Not much I can do now though I guess. I'll be honest with you all, it's hard being on here seeing everyone's awesome photos knowing that you can't do a dang thing to enjoy the same thing. In fact, it is downright depressing. Literally. Maybe I'll find a winning lotto ticket on the street lol

Only a few weeks away and Sunflower season is here in Colorado! Finally! Last year was rather bad considering how bad the drought was and still is in some respects however this Spring has been quite wet so it should be an incredible season. This shot was captured just east of Denver International Airport as the sun was setting over the Rockies. I am hoping that this field is here again this year, last year it was dried up. It offered some amazing vast views in which the Sunflowers seemed to go on forever.
