He made many photographic trips, driving his pickup over the back roads and mountain passes of Colorado as well as the Southwest and then hiking, to find the composition he wanted -- then waiting for the right lighting before taking a photograph. Being a perfectionist, he not only developed his film, but printed, matted, and constructed frames for his photos as well. Among his other interests were wood working, landscape design, western ghost towns, and reading, especially American, British, and Russian history. He was a quiet man with a keen sense of humor. He strongly believed that all people should be treated equally. What Is The Crystal Mill?Located just outside the small town of Marble, Colorado, and about a 90-minute drive from Aspen, Crystal Mill was never a working mill, it turns out, but rather a powerhouse. Built in 1892, the “Sheep Mountain Power House” contained a turbine that was driven by the powerful waters of the Crystal River below. It powered pneumatic tools and provided air ventilation to nearby mines. When the Sheep Mountain mine closed up in 1917, the mill was abandoned. Sixty-eight years later, Colorado decreed the mill a landmark, and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
