If you like my photography, please considering purchasing a print, the sales will go towards repairing my camera- After having medical bills from being very sick, I don't have the cash to repair it so I am trying to drum up print sales so I may continue to do what I love; photography. 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 About the photograph- While freezing my keester off photographing the sunrise at Cherry Creek State Park here in Colorado, I noticed the Deer tracks in the snow. I can't even begin to tell you all how bitterly cold it was with a breeze coming off the lake but I was really hugging my hot coffee I tell ya. I wanted to try and incorporate the tracks into the scene somehow and add something to it that would be different than a typical sunrise image. It made me think though and wonder how many times I have been photographing landscapes that wildlife was close by, watching me while I was totally unaware. It was a cold morning but wow, it was beautiful with the sky and clouds and yes, that is Pikes Peak in the distance.

wonderful photo! i wish i could purchase a print. i absolutely love your work! unfortunately i'm unemployed and have to dramatically cut back on my animal rescue - if not completely close it down for a while. a month and a half after becoming my own official rescue, my fiance's boss and so called friend screwed us and some others royally by doing illegal things in his business, which screwed everyone else - even those who had no idea what was going on, while he basically just lost the business - but of course kept his thousands and thousands of dollars... anyways, i know how ya feel. its been a while since that event happened and i kept my rescue going despite losing my home and moving in with my parents but they're struggling too now after my dad was out of work for almost a full year, then again for four months. anyways, not trying to rant here or make my situation seem worse than your own as we all have horrible situations to deal with, which may seem small to others but be massive to our own selves. i was just saying i know how you feel. it's tough not being able to do what you love because of money. i'm trying to raise money through donations as well as making custom collars, leashes and pet jewelry (the jewelry just means a hemp necklace for the animal, so no clips and ID tag ring like a collar would have haha i'm not some nut case who makes earrings and stuff like that for animals 
) so hopefully your situation works out for you and mine too! just have to keep our heads up and keeping trying. after all, that's really all we can do.
best of luck and again, you have wonderful skills!
