Road Trip: Dec 28 – A day to remember

I won’t spend any time detailing where, how, or when.  To me, these are some of the best shots I have ever taken. [imagebrowser id=30]

Road Trip – Dec 20 shortest day of the year.

[singlepic id=729 w=320 h=240 float=center]

Sunday was a fantastic day for shooting.  The weather was beautiful and I was anxious to get some good shots.  I went shooting Friday, but it was one of those days where absolutely nothing was in sync.  No new locations, boring sky, and very little motivation meant a long . . . → Read More: Road Trip – Dec 20 shortest day of the year.

2009 Favorite images – selection number three

Stucco Shack, Eastern Colorado

This is one a shot from one of my first trips to the plains, taken on Hwy 385 near Cheyenne Wells, Colorado.  I had no idea how many abandoned places there actually were and this find seemed particularly lucky.  Over the summer I would discover dozens of other places, . . . → Read More: 2009 Favorite images – selection number three

2009 Favorite Images – selection number two

A long way around.  Summer, 2009 Taken southeast of Limon, Colorado, at this location. This storm system eventually grew so large that I had to take a 150 mile detour to avoid getting nailed by it.  I didn’t get back to Denver until 1am.  The storm cells were powerful and fast, you . . . → Read More: 2009 Favorite Images – selection number two

Seattle – 2009

I had three great opportunities to shoot while in Seattle for an xmas party.  The weather was cold and clear, with dramatic skies each night. This is the first batch of edits, I like them best.

2009 Favorite images – selection number one

The idea of me rating my own photos and then explaining why they are great seems a little silly. This is an exercise in shameless self indulgence, and I feel fine.

The list of top shots will probably be less about the photos than it is about the experience of getting them. This . . . → Read More: 2009 Favorite images – selection number one

Road Trip: December 5 – Laramie and Brush

I am glad we will be spending the coldest part of the Colorado winter in Seattle. Saturday was very cold, very windy, and very brown. We deposited Eva at the grandparents house, and headed north. After a brief lunch stop in Ft. Collins, we continued north on HWY 287 towards Wyoming. Aside from a . . . → Read More: Road Trip: December 5 – Laramie and Brush

Road Trip: Nov 29 – Highway 59

Highway 59

There were days this summer where a 12 hour day of driving would yield zero great locations.  Yesterday was a different story.  The section of Hwy 59 between US 36 and HWY 34 in eastern Colorado was rich with photographic opportunities.  The first location was one of the best I have . . . → Read More: Road Trip: Nov 29 – Highway 59

In Focus: “Santa Fe Blue Door” by Rudy Lopez

Santa Fe Doors, originally uploaded by RudyLopez.

Ask anyone that has been to Santa Fe, and they will tell you it is wonderful. Ask them to define what is ‘wonderful’ about it, and they cannot. It is that intangible feeling that makes Santa Fe a special . . . → Read More: In Focus: “Santa Fe Blue Door” by Rudy Lopez
