Okay, I admit it. I might be a little obsessed with this road I found in Elgin, Arizona. Or maybe I’m obsessed with the clouds. Could be the combination of both. I love playing around with colors and how the tones change the feeling of the pictures. My newest book is available as an advancedContinue reading “Road Obsession”

An Ode to Trees
I recently took a lot of photos of trees because I’ll be using them as references for my next hobby: learning how to draw them. I used to draw a lot, but I haven’t picked up a pencil for nearly 10 years because I gave myself the daunting task of writing a book, which somehowContinue reading “An Ode to Trees”
A Lowell, AZ Photo Safari
Erie Street is the last surviving piece of commercial Lowell, Arizona, a former copper-mining town just outside Bisbee. Walking down the street feels strangely like stepping onto a movie set from the mid-twentieth century. Old cars and trucks line the road as if their owners simply never came back for them. Behind the storefront windowsContinue reading “A Lowell, AZ Photo Safari”
How Post-Processing Changes a Photo
I often take one photo and then play around with the lighting on my computer. Before long, I’ve got several versions and can’t decide which one I like best. It’s interesting how even the subtlest changes in the lighting make a huge difference: But then I sometimes go all out and change absolutely everything: Or….Continue reading “How Post-Processing Changes a Photo”
Dying Trees
The summers here have been hot. I often walk around my neighborhood and take photos of all the dying trees. This my “Dead Tree Project” which I started in 2023 when I started documenting the effects on local vegetation after 54 days above 115F (46.1C) degrees this summer in Phoenix, Arizona. Dystopian bus stop. ThisContinue reading “Dying Trees”
The Retreating Glacier
Photos from my retro photo album titled: Alaska, May 2013 Mendenhall Glacier started retreating in the mid-1700s following a period of glaciation that began 3,000 years ago. But in recent decades, Alaska has been warming twice as fast as the rest of the United States, helping to push the region’s glaciers into an especially steep decline.Continue reading “The Retreating Glacier”

That Time I Went Through a Gourd Carving Phase
I don’t even know why I went to the Wuertz Gourd Festival in 2013, but I did. It was there where I first encountered the Gourd Art of Bonnie Gibson and I decided that I wanted to learn how to do what she did. I joined the Arizona Gourd Society and took a few classes.Continue reading “That Time I Went Through a Gourd Carving Phase”
Native Americans
Geronimo. Everyone knows his name and the famous picture of him kneeling with a rifle. That photo is arguably one of the best images ever taken of any human being, and there’s no denying the indomitable fierceness staring out of his eyes. He was a man that was pissed off, and he was going toContinue reading “Native Americans”
Some Older European Photos
There were no digital cameras in the 90s. I have shoeboxes full of photos and I only scanned a few of my favorites as digital copies. I used to carry around two cameras. One was loaded with color film and the other was loaded with either sepia or black and white. Here is the lastContinue reading “Some Older European Photos”
