Friday, January 26th, 2024
My good friend, Dave Rudin, is in France at the moment and has located copies of the contest issue of French PHOTO. He has a winner in there too. Dave R was good enough to not only buy a couple copies to bring home to me, but also took snaps of my photo in the […]

Desolation
Saturday, December 11th, 2021
If you’ve been around this blog much in the past few years you are well aware that I’m a great admirer of Anne Brigman, a member of the Photo Secession and a pioneering photographer of the nude in nature. After seeing a retrospective of her work at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, I […]
Recent Wanderings
Monday, October 11th, 2021
I’ve recently returned from a trip out west. First I spent some time in the red rock desert doing some photos. The photo above is from a desert location north of Las Vegas. I call it “Rock Face.” I also did some shooting in Utah and Arizona. The photo above was taken at a somewhat […]
On the Road with Nevaehlleh
Monday, August 24th, 2020
Back in the spring of 2018 I had the opportunity to take a little California road trip with one of my favorite people, Nevaehlleh. She’s a great person and a beautiful and talented model. And she’s really, really nice. We started in southern California and drove north, stopping a few times for photos along the […]
Is It Hot Enough For You?
Wednesday, February 13th, 2019
Nevaeh Lleh and I visited some other spots out in the desert in addition to Joshua Tree. It was very hot all the time we were in the desert. Hot as in highs around 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures like that limited what we were able to do. We did nearly all our shooting in the early […]

Nevaeh Lleh at Joshua Tree
Thursday, January 31st, 2019
I’ve been saddened to hear about the damage done to Joshua Tree National Park during the government shutdown. It is a beautiful place and deserves our respect and protection. So I thought I’d share some photos from my last visit to this amazing place. I was fortunate to have one of my favorite models with […]
Point Lobos
Wednesday, May 16th, 2018
During my recent travels I was able to spend a little time at Point Lobos on the California coast. It’s an amazingly beautiful place. It was easy to see why Edward Weston loved it so much. These are a few of the snaps I took while I was there. Of course I shot these with […]

Near Salvation Mountain is a fairly strange community known as Slab City. And in Slab City is a fairly strange art community known as East Jesus. So, after visiting Salvation Mountain we headed on over to East Jesus and I couldn’t resist taking a few photos there.
