I covet just about everything in Thomas D. Mangelsen's Brekcenridge, CO gallery. Can't afford any…read moreof it, though. So, I keep an eye out for talented and cheaper photographers. Today I decided to head a little ways into the mountains to check out supposedly Victorian Georgetown just off I70. The historic district, while small, does have charm. It's worth the detour. After scoping out the shops I was immediately drawn to Grizzly Creek Gallery. To my surprise, the guy helping the people already in the shop was the owner/photographer Gary Haines. (Good luck running into Mangelsen at one of his galleries.) He's warm and friendly, has some great work and (best of all) he's got some reasonable prices. He's also a local. Support Colorado artists! After selecting a print it turned out he's also an expert framer. Ever been to Fast Frame? Wow, expensive! Even Hobby Lobby adds up quick. Gary framed the print in a gorgeous barn wood frame (he gets them from a friend in South Dakota) for less than Hobby Lobby's ordinary boring stuff. Thanks, Gary! Will be back on a regular basis to check out your new work.

When…read moreI stepped into the Stonehenge shop an older, robust, man behind the counter, frowned at my Husband and I. No smile. No welcome. When I approached him. He literally snarled and turned his head away from me. I seriously wondered if ALL the Historic Georgetown shops treated minorities this way. I found something I like upon entry. I would NEVER support the ignorant indignities of this shop . . . especially after reading a post from another minority. Luckily "My Lovely Company LLC" quickly restored my faith in the Historical shops of Georgetown. Maria Henchan was awesome and her products are Outstanding! I wish giving NO STARS was an option. That's what this place really deserves.
