Photography, Technology, and More
Going through my archives, I ran across this wonderful Milky Way photo that I previously shared on Flickr but not here. I took this in July 2014 on a trip to visit family in Pagosa Springs, Colorado at a spot I’ve returned to several times. On this particular night, I got incredibly lucky with finding […] The post Barn and Stars, Pagosa Springs, Colorado appeared first on Stanton Champion .
I love going back through my photo archives and finding things I haven’t shared on this website before, including this photo from a trip to Disney World in 2012. My wife and her family were Disney Vacation Club members, so we got to stay in a lot of great places near the parks when we […] The post Disney Lighthouse and Boardwalk, Disney World, Florida appeared first on Stanton Champion .
In 2022, I took a short overnight backpacking trip to the Highland Mary Lakes in the Weminuche Wilderness near Silverton, Colorado. I didn’t have a lot of time, so I did a shorter loop with just a single night in the wilderness before hiking back out. But in that short trip, I was hit by […] The post Highland Mary Lakes, Weminuche Wilderness, Colorado appeared first on Stanton Champion .
Hello friends, it’s me, the human writer who technically owns this site and theoretically writes material for it. We all know AIs are now doing a lot of the writing in this world, and I have certainly been using AI a lot to do chores like “write me a blog post” and “build me a […] The post Is It Still Photography?

Like a lot of folks, I’ve been using AI to speed up everyday tasks at work and at home, but I’ve been looking for a good excuse to sit down, vibe code, and deploy a full interactive app entirely from scratch. Recently, I read a fascinating Quanta Magazine article about the Busy Beaver problem—a theoretical […] The post Vibe-Coding the End of Math: Busy Beaver appeared first on Stanton Champion .
I have a backlog of unpublished photos, including this gem from a prolific trip I took to Europe in 2018. On this same trip, I took a lot of favorites including several from Paris and a panorama of Stockholm. However, a folder of images remained untouched. Finally, I revisited them, and this one stood out. […] The post Dock at Sunset, Ramsvik, Sweden appeared first on Stanton Champion .
In 2019, I took a couple of wonderful sunset photos of Seattle’s West Point Lighthouse while on a business trip. I wrote about one of them in 2020, including details about how and why I ended up in this location. But I’ve long had this second version of the photo in my archives, and I’m […] The post West Point Lighthouse Twilight, Seattle, Washington appeared first on Stanton Champion .
In the northern reaches of Gloucester, Massachusetts on Cape Ann, where the Annisquam River meets the Atlantic, lies a hidden gem – a secluded stretch of coastline that offers a unique perspective on the setting sun. Unlike most Massachusetts beaches, which face eastward, this western-facing shore provides a rare opportunity to witness the sun’s descent […] The post Shoreline at Sunset,…
While exploring Kona’s Hapuna Beach in 2019, I was looking for a scene that really inspired me. It wasn’t until I reached the end of the beach, and found this spot where it transitioned back to natural rock and trees, that I found what I was looking for. I loved the meeting of sand, rock, […] The post Beach Moonset, Kona, Hawaii appeared first on Stanton Champion .
Sometimes you find a great photo you didn’t expect in a wonderful location. While visiting family in Pagosa Springs in 2015, I had an idea to take sunset photos on Piedra Road north of town. On one evening in particular, I raced out after the conclusion of a family event and arrived just in time […] The post Road Through the Hills, Pagosa Springs, Colorado appeared first on Stanton Champion .
