Niecy on the rocks
Saturday, April 7th, 2007
Here’s Niecy Moss on some rocks in the Big Bend area. I’ll be posting lots more from Big Bend over the next few weeks. It was a great shoot, despite the harshness of the place.
Why I use digital cameras
Friday, April 6th, 2007
It occurred to me that the photo in my last post is a good example of why I chose to use digital tools to make my photos. There are all sorts of cameras available and all sorts of reasons for choosing one over another. Some photographers like a challenge and chose equipment that requires much […]
In the Shade
Thursday, April 5th, 2007
When I didn’t use the intense sun to form compositions I looked for shade where the beauty of the rocks and the models’ bodies could be brought out. The sun in Big Bend is so hot and overwhelming that it tends to wash out all the detail and color that is there. It’s hard to […]
About Big Bend
Thursday, April 5th, 2007
I’m on my way home from Big Bend. Sitting in a Flying J in Joplin, MO, having breakfast. Ran the furnace in the camper because it may got pretty cold here last night. It’s snowing in Ohio. Big adjustment from almost 100F yesterday in the desert. Before I left for Big Bend my friend and […]
Balance
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007
I try to do my figure photos in nature in places where there is no one else around. I have no desire to push nudity at anyone who doesn’t want to see it. But sometimes the places I want to shoot are fairly popular. That was the case with this unique rock formation at Big […]
Desert Moon
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007
I noticed that a full moon was about to occur and checked the charts to see when would be best to shoot it. Found the right day, but couldn’t find just the right place. Where we are the moon came up behind some mountains, which meant it was higher in the sky than I would […]
The Desert Blooms
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007
The desert in Big Bend is very harsh. But when a little moisture arrives, amazing things happen. This area of the desert was covered in yellow flowers. There seems to be some sort of natural tendency toward monochrome. All the flowers are yellow in this area. But there are different colored flowers in other places. […]
Niecy in a slot canyon
Sunday, April 1st, 2007
Here is beautiful Niecy Moss in a slot canyon here in the Big Bend area. I shot this yesterday. We did another very full day of shooting today with both Niecy and Rose, who drove down yesterday from Albuquerque to work with me. I haven’t had time to even look at all we have shot, […]
Niecy in the bayou
Saturday, March 31st, 2007
Here’s Niecy in the bayou outside Houston earlier this week. This is the last photo from the Houston shoots that I’m going to post for a while. We had a great day of shooting in the Big Bend desert today. Rose arrived this evening and we have a full day planned for tomorrow. Plenty of […]
Kimberly and Niecy
Saturday, March 31st, 2007
What is better than shooting a beautiful nude model in a beautiful location? Shooting two beautiful nude models at the same time, of course. Here are Niecy and Kimberly in the Texas woodlands. They both did a great job. I’ll have more to post. I’m sitting in my camper in Study Butte. Dan and Niecy […]
