Transitions: Anchor (1 of 15)

Arrival, layover, transitions, delay, departure. The inescapable quandaries of daily life. What do I have to do today? Tomorrow? Next week? Year? Ten years? What did I eat for breakfast? Where do I have to be this evening? How am I going to get there? Where was I yesterday at 2:30 in the afternoon? What am I going to say? What will then think? What will I be when I grow up?

No matter where one is, there they are. Do you know where that is? Do you sense it? Does it escape you while you become somewhere else?

In these frozen moments and in an environment designed for lives coming and going, the present is there but were the lives? Where were they in their life at that moment?

Did they notice the space? Did they notice the moment surrounding them? Light, shadow, sound, voices reflections, movement. Thought and people all coming and going. Did they notice?

Quandaries.

New West and the Outdoors

When one looks through the photos that have been submitted to New West over time, either directly or through our robust Flickr pool of enormously talented contributors, it is clear that the landscape inspires creative genius.  To date, our 835 Flickr group members have uploaded nearly 27,000 photos, and many of them are jaw-dropping-ly gorgeous.

In reader survey after reader survey, the New West audience continues to peg outdoor recreation as their favorite topic of interest, and with the stunning Rocky Mountain backdrop, the (recreation and photo) possibilities are endless.

When we match the two – reader interest and beautiful photos – we come up with a new editorial home which also serves as a great place to show off the robust Rocky Mountain photo talent:  Adventure Rockies.

The writers for Adventure Rockies have diverse interests and styles, and they write about river guiding, running, hiking, rafting, and a whole host of other outdoor recreation.  The stories are anchored by a changing set of photos, so please visit and then promptly…..send us your best shot(s)!  We will run as many of them as time and space permits, and then we will run them again here to give your work the widest exposure possible.  It’s a win/win.
