Little Wild Horse Canyon
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011
“All we have, it seems to me, is the beauty of art and nature and life, and the love which that beauty inspires.” –Edward Abbey After our pause at the twin trees we headed on down into Little Wild Horse Canyon. This was my first time in this canyon, so I wasn’t […]
Moving On
Monday, December 5th, 2011
Getting back to the account of our trip out west…After spending some time at Goblin Valley, we moved on to Little Wild Horse Canyon, a nearby slot canyon. We had planned to dedicate a day to each of these locations, but thanks to the deer in Nebraska we were reduced to just one day for […]
Corel…hmmmm…
Saturday, December 3rd, 2011
I downloaded a trial of Corel PaintShop Pro today and gave it a try. I’m impressed. Not exactly the same as PhotoShop, of course, but a very useful, versatile program that looks like it could do everything I need at a very reasonable cost and no issues with upgrades or RAW processing for new cameras. […]
Goblin Valley
Friday, December 2nd, 2011
We return now to the days of Yestermonth. Our heros are finally freed from their Bambi-imposed stranding in less-than-scintilating town of Alliance, Nebraska. The truck is repaired and they set out again on their search of the southwest for beauty and art. After a breathtaking drive through Denver and over the Rockies at sunset they […]
All Wet In Denver
Friday, October 21st, 2011
On the drive back home from out west I had a wonderful opportunity to hang out with a couple great photographers, thanks to Brooke. We made a small detour on the way back east for a stop in Denver where Brooke was scheduled to work with Mark Sink and Kristen Hatgi. So I spent a […]
Home Again
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011
I’m back home. No incidents with the truck or deer or anything like that on the drive back from LA. In fact, I’m so pleased with the overall performance of my 2002 truck, despite all the issues caused by hitting the deer, that I’ve decided to see if I can keep driving it for at […]
Collaboration
Wednesday, October 12th, 2011
I consider my models to be co-creators of the work we do together. I honestly don’t understand why my view on this is so much a minority point of view. I often say that the models do all the hard work and I just take photos of them while they do it. I’m serious about […]
I’ve Never Been Lost In The Wilderness…
Thursday, October 6th, 2011
That’s Kat and Brooke at South Coyote Buttes…a place that is about as truly wilderness as anyplace left in this country. It’s every bit as beautiful as the famous Wave, which is in North Coyote Buttes. But the Wave is much more easy to get to, and so popular now that permits to visit it […]
Road Trip Travails
Monday, October 3rd, 2011
As my readers know, this trip has not been the smoothest. After the deer damage was repaired problems continued in the form of, shall we say, less than wonderful motel rooms. But the trade-off for all that was in the places we went. I have a ton of new photos to share, but I’m just […]
Why Am I Here?
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011
Now on our third day stranded in Alliance. Why would anyone ever come to Alliance, you might ask? Well, there’s only one reason…Carhenge. I first visited Carhenge shortly after it was created in 1987. I was on a motorcycle trip with my best friend, Ken. We stopped and spent the night in a tent right […]
