Our family (Janae, Jim III, Jared, Melissa, Jim Jr) on the trail up Flattop Mountain. Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Saturday, July 22, 1989. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is far and away one of my most favorite images and my most favorite photo for this date. Melissa and I and our three children were hiking up the trail from Bear Lake to Flattop Mountain. Not only is that a special memory, Melissa and I and my brother John were hiking the same trail August 13, 1969. Melissa and I were engaged at the time. I have a photo of Melissa and my brother at the same exact spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

20 years apart. The trail up Flattop Mountain. Rocky Mountain National Park. 1969 – 1989.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For comparison, here are both images. The tree just barely showing above my brother’s head in the 1969 photo has grown a lot in 20 years, as have the other trees. In the 1969 photo my brother has his foot on a rock that has an elongated triangular shaped shadow. In the 1989 photo our daughter has her foot on the same exact rock with the same triangular shaped shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So both of these photos are very special to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we went on a field trip to a nature preserve during the day. All three photos are special reminders of the first of 7 years worth of photography workshops for OSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
