The Pikes Peak Guy

I'm an ordinary guy who set out to create something extraordinary: capturing the beauty of Pikes Peak in photographs every single day for an entire year... and sharing that with the world.

One hundred years after Katherine Lee Bates’ words were put to music in “America the Beautiful,” I set out on a year long journey to capture the beauty she wrote about, in photographs. The 365 photographs I took capture the “purple mountain majesties” of this spectacular mountain region over the course of a year, and this project captured the heart of a community and a nation in a most extraordinary way.

I am a Colorado-based photographer and author and am simply know only as “The Pikes Peak Guy”. I chose to use a pen name because this work really isn't about me, it is about my mountain, Pikes Peak.
