Grand Canyon Perseverance No.4
A shot of the sheer drop-off. Trees clinging tenaciously to the top of the cliff, blanketed in snow – my least favorite of these shots, but I thought I’d put…

Grand Canyon Perseverance No.2
More Grand Canyon in the Snow. This is the view nearly straight down, by the outcropping yesterday. The way the canyon wall curves around the outcropping, with increased fog density…

Grand Canyon Perseverance No.1
One of my favorite things that happened on my recent trip to the Grand Canyon: snow! Near-total white out in the canyon itself led to some fairly unusual shots of…

Stargazers

MSS
It’s been a while since I posted an abstract. This one is from Santa Fe, NM. The cloud peering out from over the wall caught my attention. And as I…

Tall
I couldn’t resist the simple beauty of these tall trees in Bandelier National Park, NM. Especially with a 16mm lens.

Jewels
From the date, I think this was in Santa Fe, NM – a very cool window display. I couldn’t resist borrowing this piece of it…

Stick
Something about this stick, and the shadows behind it, grabbed me. This is a composite of three hand-held exposures, composited via photomatix pro.

I don’t remember if Jake was mad at me, or just demonstrating his deadly karate skills – either way, it made for some fun photography!

Radiant Cross
From Tempe, AZ: a photo I took as part of a The Mindful Eye community assignment. Hand-held at 135mm, this took a bit of doing to get a 1/25 second…

Balloon Man
This is “Balloon Man”, John Duke, from Santa Fe, NM. John is a stand-up comedian and apparently loves walking around Santa Fe making balloon animals for kids. Jake and I…

Bored
From Jim Thorpe’s 2009 St. Patty’s parade. I wish I could have worked this longer, but the parade started moving just after. The mirror isn’t lending to the shot at…

From the Sunday that Mark and I arrived in Savannah. If you needed proof that I walked up to strangers and asked to photograph them before the workshop, here it…
