I was honored to hear that my photo of fern and aspen at the Arizona Trail near Flagstaff after a fall snowfall was chosen for first place overall in the 2024 annual photo contest hosted by Arizona Highways Magazine
Given the thousands of great entries, I'm thrilled and can't wait to see it in the September issue.
I found the perfect place for a new photography gallery--right in the heart of the Manitou Springs shopping district. Just a short drive from Garden of the Gods, one of the top tourist destinations in the country!
I am now open 6 days a week, closed Tuesday, located at 906 Manitou Avenue, suite 101. I am focusing my new gallery on the landscape and wildlife of Colorado, especially the Pikes Peak region and Garden of the Gods, but also the National Parks and mountains of Colorado. Hope you can stop by to see my new space!
Essential Sedona, a publication of Essential Magazines, used my photo "Schnebly View," which I took at sunset from the top of Schenebly Hill, as the cover for their Spring-Summer 2023 edition. I also took some of the photos in the magazine in an article about the Sedona real estate market. You can see the magazine at Essential Sedona
I recently was awarded first prize in the Landscape Division of the "Share the View" nature photography competition, a prestigious international contest. My winning photo was shot in early October, 2022 at Hart Prairie along the Arizona Trail in northern Arizona. I don't enter many contests, but I particularly like this one for its commitment to nature conservation and protection. My winning image and others can be seen at their website at:
I generally sell my calendars through my gallery, but in response to several requests I have now made them available here on my website:
I've had a couple of my photographs make the cover of a magazine, but this is the first cover I photographed specifically for the publication. This is the cover of the new edition of "Sedona Food & Wine"--the premiere culinary guide to Sedona. I shot this at Soundbites Grill in Sedona a few weeks ago, at sunset. Fortunately the clouds cooperated. I used my new wade angle macro from Laowa which gave me a unique perspective of the scene. This is pretty much as I shot the scene, except the editor enlarged what was a tiny moon in the sky. It came out pretty much as I envisioned!
I'm pleased and honored that my photo "I'll Give you the Moon" was chosen to be the cover image for the official guide to Sedona for 2020-2021. Hopefully, tourism will recover and people will be able to use the guide!
The visitor guide can be downloaded or ordered from the Chamber of Commerce website, here:
Real estate giant featured this home decorating trip by me in their blog today. It discusses the use of light boxes, which I also display at my Sedona gallery. You can find it here:
I was interviewed by Fox News Channel 10 in Phoenix a couple weeks ago about a photograph I took of a couple standing on top of Bell Rock in Sedona, with the full moon rising behind them. Never did track down the couple, unfortunately...
My printer, ArtisanHD, a world-class service located in Scottsdale, Arizona, recently published a blog article on my Sedona Gallery on their website. They also include an interview with me on my background and gallery development. Check it out here: ArtisanHD blog on Stan Rose Images Sedona gallery.
My gallery in Sedona is now open! Come see my work in one of the most beautiful locations in the country!
Since I mentioned it on Facebook, might as well announce it here as well--I will be opening a gallery in Sedona, Arizona, in the Hillside Shopping center on the south side of town. I hope to be opening in March. It's the fulfillment of a lifetime dream of presenting my art to the world. Hope you can stop by in person to see it! Stay tuned for the latest news on this venture...
My photo of Pikes Peak, taken from near Wetmore, CO, was chosen for the cover of the Jan/Feb 2018 edition of Colorado Life Magazine--available at most newsstands/bookstores. Terrific magazine if you are interested in anything Colorado-related. Check it out!
At least four of my photos can be seen in the "Triumph" series of calendars, in the 2018 "Forces of Nature" (shown here) calendar, and the 2018 National Parks calendar. Found wherever calendars at sold, and at bicgraphic.com
Pleased that my images are there along with some of the top names in landscape photography.
After 14 years of working as a staff meteorologist and weather forecaster for NOAA's National Weather Service, time was right so I have resigned and will work full time as a photographer and artist.
Almot forgot to mention; Norwood; http://www.norwood.com has several of my images in their 2015 calendar series (they're spread around so I can't link directly) Look for them in their "Beautiful America", "Religious Inspirations" and "Rocky Mountains" calendars. A lot of big names in these calendars, including my friends Guy Schmickle and Kevin McNeal, and folks like David Muench. Good stuff...
EKS&H, the largest accounting firm in Colorado, recently purchased a dozen of my prints to decorate their new office space. I got a chance to check out the final display--it looks terrific! Hopefully my business will grow big enough to use their services! :)
For information on my new EBook, follow the menu link on the top of the page to the Ebook.
I'd put the link here, but if you can't follow that simple instruction, you probably won't understand the book.
I am proud and pleased to announce that my new book, "Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve" has recently been released!
It was published by Skyline Press www.skylinepress.com/books.htm
The book has been 8 years in the making, and I'm glad I didn't have to choose the photos to include in the book. It's available through the publisher's website, or you can email me to order directly. It's also available at the Sand Dunes Visitor Center, and hopefully many other bookstores in the near future. Special thanks to my friends at RMNP (Nature Photographers.net) and the National Park employees who made this a successful venture.

A long time coming, I finally got my act together and rebuilt and redesigned my website with the help of two great NPN photographers and friends, Jack Brauer and Scott Borger.
Jack is the best in the business and it was a no-brainer going with his services. Scott is an-up-and-coming designer and I'm very grateful for the work that these two class acts put into my new site--thanks, guys! Next on the list...the book!
