I lived at 8,300 feet, above Conifer, Colorado for years. I got tired of grabbing my boogie bag [ pictures, legal documents, clothes, ect...] every summer, when surrounding fires threatened me and my belongings. Staying with family, glued to the news, and hoping your place will be there when the fire finally is out. Which can take weeks.
I moved down to the plains.
I miss the peace and quiet of the mountains. The stars.
I don't miss the snow, and the long winters. The 45 minute drive to the store. Living with a well. I really don't miss, watching lighting storms in the summer and wondering where the next fire will be.
From now on I can grab my camera, jump in the car head west, and before I know it, I am breathing mountain air without the worries.

I was a Union Pipefitter and worked in Rock Springs for a while. Back in the day [1980's] that's were all the hookers and hustlers were
I got to see some wild horses and friend took me to a buffalo run. It is wild country.
I retierd and in between Denver and Ft Collins. I would be lost without mountains.

These were taken with the Tamron G2 Tamron 90 mm. All but the flowers were taken about 25 to 30 feat away. That one I stood over.

I don't know about a 90 or 100 being to short. The sharpness of the G2, leads to the ability to crop pretty heavily. I know, I have been there done that.

It wasn't posed at all. She was one row down from me, inside the Denver Coliseum, during the Annual Denver Pow Wow.

Either the Canon 100 mm L Macro, or the Tamron G2 90 mm macro. I have the Tamron it is a great lens. The VC, vibration control is awesome. The price ain't bad also.

Indoor, hand held, Canon 1D mark 3, Tamron G2 45mm

I was wondering the same. Then I thought why stop at 400mm, after all reach is what I am looking for, so why not a sigma 150-600 C

I knew a guy, who knew another guy, that left a battery in his Canon 1D Mark 3 for over a year.
It is now a nice doorstop. It died.
After each outing, I recharge my batteries and put them In the drawer. Why take a chance with your camera?

Way back, when I used to frequent this site more often, and one of the reason I left for awhile. Is, I got into a pissing contest on what is street and what is not. I posted some pretty cool shots of a guy standing on top of a bass guitar, rocking out with 2 other musicians. Hell, I even turned them into Black and white. According to some self styled experts...musicians, buskers, and events were not considered street. After googling the definition of street photography. I begged to differ.
Apaflo,I do prefer your definition.
That is where my statement of pigeonholing originated. It seemed to me, that if you didn't conform to their preconceived ideals, you were not street. If I am anything, I am a non-conformist. I haver never been a follower. I read, I study, [google] I think for myself. I read every word, review, printed on the net, before I bought the 3 cameras and 6 lenses I now own, I choose to make my own mistakes, and form my own opinions based on the experiences, I have lived through.
Not what someone else thinks, are the rules, guidelines, and, this is no shit, it's set in stone, I ain't joking, way it has to be, to be any genre of photography, or really life in general.
For me, that kind of attitude and mindset, is completely tiresome.
That will never change.
I am not, a complete drooling idiot, I realize there are different styles of photography. Portrait, Landscape, Marco, and there are guidelines, in each that define the category. And that's fine. All I am saying, is be open to a new outlook, new ideas, a new view on a old subject.
Live, experiment have fun. If taking a picture, has to define some preconceived idea, that's not spontaneous. For me, that would be tedious, joyless, and mechanical. Where is the art, the very soul in that?
And honestly, does it really matter what category it falls into? Or, if it can be categorized at all?
I do want to thank everyone, who has taken their time to respond to my post. It has been semi enlightening.
It is nice to see passion in any form, and I have felt it in these posts. So again, thank you.
