Capturing with a painterly eye pulls from personal memory of visits to art museums, galleries, and art history books. The Impressionists are my favorite period and feel I just want to “eat it with a spoon” looking closely at luscious color and paint on canvas. On more than one occasion I’ve had some of my […]
Spring has finally arrived in the Northeast. A wonderful artist and former high school classmate provided some input on a Boston location with unusual imagery. Jane Wiley has always had an eye for the unusual (and oft time disconcerting). A gifted draftsman, she is using digital art to create new worlds. She gathers her inspiration […]
Prominent on the horizon going east on Highway 60 in Phoenix, Arizona looms the “Flat Iron” rising 1500 feet above the desert floor, located in Lost Dutchman Mine State Park. It is part of a group of jagged, volcanic peaks and ridges constituting the Superstition Mountains, the largest mountain range surrounding Phoenix with the highest […]

Once we were done with the seminar at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM, we headed north to take in some scenery. After visiting a bit of Santa Fe proper we headed to Taos in search of fall and perhaps a touch of snow. We took Highway 68 north and about 20 miles out of Santa […]
This blog input has nothing to do with camera accessories, sensor dust, shooting locations, or problems with cameras Today I want to indulge in some philosophy about photography and living life in today’s information saturated, highly distracted world. When I pick up a camera, place myself in an environment with images I want to capture, […]
Fuji S-2 Image from 2008 Window Rock Pow-wow Last year, I experienced my “first shot” at using a Fuji S-2 to capture what most of us can only imagine exists in the American Southwest… a Native American Pow Wow hosted by the Navajo Nation, Window Rock AZ.
