bright clouds at sunrise

In the sky last week: a bright wave above the treetops.

I loved the tiny, thin line of cloud stretched out beside lions head. Named it, “lions breath”.

I can’t get away from the moon.
I’ve got the moon in my head. I listened to an old song with a line about the moon and the line played [...]

still going for the moon

Why not go for the moon? This early morning moon set got me out of bed to photograph.
I’m still working my way through all the materials and files going back into my studio. Piles of homeless stuff litter the rooms waiting for a place in the studio, a donation trip, or the dumpster. Anyone need [...]

February moon

Everything’s been moved out of my studio in preparation for installing a new floor. My living room looks like one of the homes you hear about where the people never throw anything away and can only move about the house through narrow passages.

by the light of the moon

This was Jan. 10 at 5am, the morning before the full moon.

Setting Moon over the Forbidden Park

Shooting the moon again. This was a couple of days ago, the 24th, just after sunrise. Capture at 1/50 second, f/29, ISO 400, focal length 100mm. The rocky hilltop in this image is part of a future state park, still in the planning phase, not yet open to the public. Forbidden, while I grow old. [...]

Chalk Cliffs, Moon, Mt. Princeton

This wide angle image was captured in early morning sub-zero weather from just outside our room at the hot springs the last week of December. You see part of Mt. Princeton on the right and Mt. Antero on the far left with the chalk cliffs of Mt. Princeton at the center and the moon above. [...]
