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 [...]

Shooting around town….yes, I still do that

Wednesday, August 18, 2010

Monday, in between slogging cameras and tripods around the Dells and Granite Basin, and before the “death slide” down a rock face in Granite Basin, I took the time to wander around town a bit with the cameras.  I haven’t played much with photography in downtown Prescott lately.  Too many other distractions…… Like sliding down [...]

Sometimes I forget what living in Arizona means…..

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Every time I forget that Arizona is more than beautiful skies, amazing sunsets, wild rock formations, and groves of Aspens, something reaches out and smacks me back into reality.  For instance…..this very large tarantula that was crossing the path over at Willow Lake.  I went out to shoot for the evening, and while wandering the [...]

Roosevelt Point, Grand Canyon North Rim

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Along the way to Cape Royal, one of those “must see” spots when visiting the North Rim, is a small pull off for Roosevelt Point.  It’s not the most visited or photographed point along the rim, but I decided to stop for a while and see what I could see. The walk out is a [...]

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…..

Monday, August 9, 2010

Over the course of the past year I keep seeing a funny set of search terms on my blog used together.  “Off Road Airstream.” Google and the rest have been sending me more and more referrals based on that search criteria.  Folks are figuring out whether or not they can off road with an Airstream?  [...]

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 [...]
