Rocks and Cacti
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007
Another from our wandering off the trail on the way up a mountain at Big Bend. I loved the dark color of the rocks in this area and was looking for a spot to contrast them against a skin tone. Had to find a spot where the sun was not directly on the rocks or […]
One Week to Pinhole Day

Next Sunday, one week from today, is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day.

I’ll be participating, with the help of several models. I’ll keep my submission to the Worldwide site PG-13 […]
In the bush
Saturday, April 21st, 2007
On our third day at Big Bend we did some real hiking, climbing a small mountain to visit some interesting rock formations. Soon after we started off on the hike we decided to leave the trail and explore some rocks nearby that looked interesting. We found some good spots to shoot. It’s often the case […]
In Ruins
Thursday, April 19th, 2007
On our second day of shooting at Big Bend we stopped at an old abandoned mercury mine. We stayed away from the mine itself, but explored the many ruined buildings in the area. This is the doorway of what may have been a home when the mine was active.
Rocky

Have I mentioned the sun at Big Bend. The searing, brutal, relentless, glaring hot sun? I thought I had. Challenging light. From the moment the sun rose above the horizon until the moment it sank below it, it blasted us. It cooked us. It created lens flair. Hot highlights and dark shadows. Never a break. […]
At the movies
Sunday, April 15th, 2007
There’s an old movie set in the Big Bend area. It looked real familiar when we stopped there. I’m sure I’ve seen it in some westerns. It made for some good backgrounds. Here’s Niecy in front of the “church.” This is the last of the photos I’m going to post, at least for now, from […]
Niecy in Closed Canyon
Friday, April 13th, 2007
Here’s another photo of Niecy in the slot canyon we hiked on our first day at Big Bend. It was one of the very few places in the area where we were at least partially out of the sun while outdoors. But the canyon wasn’t as deep, as narrow or as colorful as slot canyons […]
Niecy inside
Thursday, April 12th, 2007
Getting away from that hot Big Bend sun. I’m only about half way through looking at my photos from Big Bend. I’ve been posting just shots from the first day of shooting for several days now. Many more to come. It was a very productive shoot, despite the harsh conditions. And there are still lots […]
Big Bend Panorama
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007
Here’s a view of morning in Big Bend. This was shot from near the old cemetery in Terlingua Ghost Town. The ghost town is not so ghostly these days with a gift shop and a number of restaurants along with many residents. I think they are really going to have to give up calling it […]
Niecy in a doorway
Monday, April 9th, 2007
Here’s Niecy Moss hiding from the sun in the doorway of an abandoned building in the Big Bend area. I’m just starting to edit the work from Big Bend and will be posting more as I work my way through. Thanks, Niecy, for dealing with that sun and heat and doing a great job of […]
