A little more detail on the latest Route 66 trip, and a few photos I like

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

Now that the whirlwind of activity has passed since Sunday’s Route 66 trip I’ve finally been able to sit down, sort photos, and collect my thoughts on the latest excursion along the famous road.  Whew, that was a super long sentence!
Sunday Josh and I took a ride up to Winslow, Arizona to have a little [...]

Life without post processing

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Interestingly enough, last night and this morning I received multiple e-mails regarding Sunday’s photos.  Questions on processing, things folks didn’t like (some haloing), stuff folks did like (the results with Topaz) and a few other comments to boot.  To my surprise, the post generated more than 10 direct e-mail questions.  That’s a lot of questions [...]

It always takes more than one trip

Sunday, August 23, 2009

Each time I find a new location that I want to photograph I find myself returning more than once.  First trip, finding out what you’re interested in.  Thinking about lighting, where you want to shoot, etc.  Second trip, really getting into what you want to shoot.
So today, like last Sunday, I found myself driving to [...]

Sunday’s Whirlwind Tour

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

Last week there was a plan for Sunday.  Another day trip to the Grand Canyon, just because.  But the Canyon trip got overridden for a simple reason…..the President was in town.  The worry, road blocks, motorcades, and the rest of the things that go with Presidential visits!  So a new plan was hatched.
For a while [...]

Reminiscent of Dot’s Diner….but then again, maybe not

Monday, August 17, 2009

At the start of this year I was fortunate enough to pay a visit to Bisbee, AZ.  What a unique town.  It’s so unique that it reminds everyone of Jerome, and Jerome reminds everyone of Bisbee.  Oh, wait, that’s not unique……
In all honesty, Bisbee is a unique town.  Wonderful buildings, great people, and a fantastic [...]

Catching up from the vacation week….

Monday, October 13, 2008

Well, I’m off to work again today.  No more vacation time for me.  It went fast, way too fast.  What a bummer to see it end!  Ah well, I had fun, and I think my family did too!
So, what were the major events last week?

Sunday the 5th:  A visit in town with my family.  They’d [...]

A few random pieces of news from the Airstream

Monday, August 18, 2008

The ride back from Oatman to Seligman via Route 66 is a pretty scenic one. Along the way you pass through a small Reservation near Peach Springs. A few neat buildings, and a pretty quiet scene.
In the distance you can make out the Grand Canyon. Boy, that thing is big! You’re [...]

12 Miles to Oatman

Sunday, August 17, 2008

As we made our way out to Oatman this morning the GPS ticked off the mileage. A 3 hour drive just to see an old mining town along Route 66. One of the folks at Point of Rocks mentioned the place to me a few months ago, and that was enough to get [...]
