Putting an image together…surprising what comes out compared to what goes in

Monday, August 23, 2010

Recently I’ve played with creating a few composite images.  It’s been a fun exercise, and I’ve been using Photoshop features that I just don’t regularly use.  Lots of fun!  Today I played with another composite idea.  It isn’t done, but it’s coming along.  Thought you might like to see what went in, and what’s come [...]

North Rim of the Grand Canyon….Or, “Getting to the Point”

Monday, August 9, 2010

Last week I set off to do something I haven’t done before.  Time on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Until last week I’d never been there.  But man, I’ve been closer to the North Rim then I thought.  Vermillion Cliffs?  Yeah, right around the corner folks. Needing to step away for a few [...]

The Off Road Airstreamer…..

Sometimes you need a getaway

Sunday, August 8, 2010

I’ve returned!  Most likely, you didn’t even know I was gone……   Well, a few blog posts missed over a few days might have been an indicator.  Or you might have thought I was burned out on blogging. Nah, not burned out on blogging.  Just burned out.  I needed to get out of “Dodge” as it [...]

What’s that landscape photographer doing in a studio?

Friday, June 25, 2010

Over the past few months I’m sure you’ve noticed a major change here at the Airstream Chronicles.  Normally you’d see landscape after landscape.  But lately people are sprinkled in.  It’s kind of adding a dash of salt to a dish you’re working on…… To the fans out there, don’t worry.  Landscapes still happen here.  HDR [...]

The Black Pine Turbo Tent put up with a lot!

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

A nod has to be given to the Turbo Tent that I added to the truck’s inventory last year. I got it on the cheap through Overstock.com when I started planning for workshops figuring it would be convenient for participants. Sure enough, it is. I’d learned about the Turbo Tent last year through Overland Journal.  [...]
