Lake Powell Caves
Saturday, August 10th, 2019
Continuing with our first day of shooting at Lake Powell, Blueriverdream and Nevaehlleh wandered into some of the openings in the rock formations for a few photos. Recent news reports from out at the lake say that the lake level has risen more than 50 feet since we were there because of the snow melt and heavy rains this […]
NevaehLleh On The Rocks
Wednesday, July 24th, 2019
More photos from our rainy day shoot at South Coyote Buttes. This time it’s all NevaehLleh. It didn’t rain constantly while we were shooting, but the clouds stuck around and kept the light very nice for pretty much the whole day. After this fun and productive day we went back to our rented house in […]
More From South Coyote Buttes
Thursday, July 18th, 2019
More photos from the rainy day at South Coyote Buttes. Models Blueriverdream and Nevaehlleh are featured in this post, along with the incredible landscape of the red rock desert in the rain. Still more to come from this day.
South Coyote Buttes
Monday, July 8th, 2019
On the next day of our desert trip we headed to South Coyote Buttes. The morning before I had gone to the ranger station to get a permit. Each day they give out 12 permits for South Coyote Buttes and 12 for North Coyote Buttes. North Coyote Buttes is easier to get to, not requiring […]
Wandering in the Desert
Friday, June 21st, 2019
After visiting Goblin Valley Blueriverdream and I met up with another great model, NevaehLleh, and went exploring Wirepass Canyon and Buckskin Gulch. Wirepass Canyon above. Buckskin Gulch below. Some claim that Buckskin Gulch is the deepest and longest slot canyon in the world. I’m not sure how they figured that out, but it’s deep, long, and […]
One More Time for Blueriverdream at Goblin Valley
Monday, May 20th, 2019
I don’t think there’s any chance that I’ll ever get better photos from Goblin Valley. I was really fortunate to have such a wonderful model as Blueriverdream with me when I went there this time. Blue really made the most of this weird location. Toward the end of our time there the clouds started to […]
More From an Overcast Day at Goblin Valley
Sunday, May 12th, 2019
Some more photos from a great day at Goblin Valley with the wonderful, beautiful model, Blueriverdream. Blue is a master at finding poses that integrate her figure with the environment. And, as we said in the Air Force, Goblin Valley is a target-rich environment. The soft light was perfect for bringing out the forms and […]
A Good Day at Goblin Valley
Wednesday, May 8th, 2019
Goblin Valley is an amazing place. I’ve been there several times and have photographed there every time I visited. But it’s a somewhat difficult place to do photos. There is usually strong sunlight and the bright highlights and dark shadows make it hard to capture the real feel of the place. But this past October […]
Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2019
Monday, April 29th, 2019
Here are a couple pinhole photos that I shot yesterday on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. The one above is the one I uploaded to the pinhole day site. I shot these with my Panasonic GX8 and a Pinwide wide-angle commercially-made pinhole. Thanks to available usable high ISOs and the electronic viewfinder on my camera I […]
One More Time With Daisy
Thursday, April 25th, 2019
Daisy Von is a fine subject for portraits as well as figure photos, so I made a few of those too while we were shooting at the park. And we wandered around to some replica pioneer/Native American shelters. The lake in this park also offered a nice background. That’s it for this shoot with Daisy. Don’t […]
