lava in the rain
This was filmed on the edge of a fresh lava flow. The sound you hear is the rain pelting down on an umbrella.

abandoned tracks at sunrise
The second image was a real grab shot. I was trying to set up using the trees on the left as a foil for the sun when these two deer appeared. Hand-held, not much is sharp. I like the bird in flight in the middle left of the frame.
bald and blue
No, that is not me. Though there is not much hair left, I am as happy as a clam. It is the Texas sky. Conditions are rarely “right”. Right now, I could use some light overcast with no wind. Instead we have crisp weather, bright blue sky and about a 10mph breeze. Nevertheless, I’d rather [...]
a bunch of inventory!!
This is what is wrong with our industry today. At dawn, I was waiting for the light to get nice at a spot I know in the Texas Hill Country, when another photographer turns up. I had seen him here before and he had indicated that he was going to do a “study” of the [...]
home again
I just spent two weeks on the road around the American south east. It was quite a slog and by the end of the day the last thing I found time for was updating my blog – that’s even if I did have internet – and most of the time I didn’t. Doesn’t is really [...]
hdr – tool or toy?
Since discovering hdr I have begun using the process as a tool to help me produce images with a dynamic range (tonal range) that I originally thought I saw when I took the picture. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of images out there doing the rounds of the social networking sites like Flickr which [...]
the men who don’t fit in
The men that don’t fit in Robert Service There’s a race of men that don’t fit in, A race that can’t stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain’s crest; Theirs [...]
urban pollution
When you are out there photographing, don’t you just hate those pesky wires. Recently I was at a “chocolate box” gas station and it was surrounded by wires in all directions. I tool about 45 minutes and an hdr conversion to get the final result. I love Photoshop and Photomatix Pro. OK here is a [...]
caught in the act
These few images of me “working” were taken by Dennis Fritsche during our Route 66 tour. What we as photographers do to get the images we want – helps to have a ladder too! I was pretty frugal with the clean tee shirts – hey a couple of guys on the road – not an [...]
acoma pueblo to decatur
DAY 3 acoma pueblo, nm to decatur, tx Waking up early hoping to get shots of Acoma Pueblo, I was again disappointed to find that it was really blustery and the clouds were pretty thick – strike three. I will have to come back here another time. I now have 650 miles to drive to [...]
phoenix to sky city
DAY 3 phoenix, az to sky city, nm I spent the early morning photographing in and around downtown Phoenix. I started off at the previous evening’s location and got a couple of pretty nice images as the sun started to rise. After that a bank of clouds rolled in and the sun played hide and [...]
las vegas to phoenix
DAY 2 – las vegas, nv – phoenix, az After spending the evening with Rick here in Vegas I am now high-tailing it down to Phoenix to try and get some worthy images. I got to Kingman mid-morning after spending some time at Hoover Dam. WOW, the water level of Lake Mead is REALLY down. [...]
san diego to las vegas
DAY 1 – san diego, ca to las vegas, nv I will be leaving San Diego today on my way back to Texas. I am going to head NE to Las Vegas to get some fresh shots of the strip at sunset. Hopefully tonight I will meet up with RBL, CEO of Blend Images, the coolest [...]
more route 66 images
As I get ready for my return to Texas next Wednesday I will post a few more of my favorite images from my trip out to California. The following image is a pseudo hdr image made from a single frame. The original raw file was made shooting into the shaded facade of the pub with [...]
route 66, flagstaff to needles
Today we met this cool guy, Angel Delgadillo – he accosted me in the middle of the road as I was photographing his store. He told me that up until now no one has been killed while photographing in the middle of the street, and if I was I would have the distinction of being [...]
route 66 road trip, albuquerque to flagstaff
Today we drove from Albuquerque to Flagstaff. It was a pretty cloudy day so we were not as productive as yesterday but the conditions were great for the Painted Desert. Dennis discovered that because he is 62 he can get lifetime membership to the National Parks for just ten bucks! What a great deal for [...]
route 66, albuquerque, new mexico
It has been a 17 hour day and I am beat. I have processed one file and that was one our last shots from tonight, the Route 66 Diner here in Albuquerque. It is an hdr and was made from a single RAW file as the clouds were moving too fast in the set of [...]
