Shaping The Landscape

The Great Sand Dunes Colorado

When I was going through the archives last week, I stumbled across this image. I always want to keep the content here fresh, so I knew I couldn’t post it last week. It would have conflicted with the other image I posted. Unless I’m doing one of my signature 5 part stories, I always try to hold up my end of the bargain by providing you a pleasant surprise. However, I couldn’t wait a month to share this one, I just liked it too much. I remember making this image. The wind was blowing fierce that day. It was as if we were in a sandblaster. The dunes were being shaped before our eyes. I decided I would try my best to capture, in a photograph, what that shaping process was like. This is what I came away with.

If you are new here, I wanted to let you know you can always click on the image to get a lager version to use as your daily computer desktop. See you tomorrow!

Camping Cars of France

The Camping Cars Of France

It is that time of year again, the pro cycling season is underway. To celebrate, I thought I would share a common scene you will find if you ever decide to make your way to the Tour de France. The mountain passes are lined with thousands of RVs. Or as my European friends call them, ‘camping cars’. Fans will flock from all around Europe in these camping cars to cheer on their favorite riders. They arrive days in advance to get a good spot. It is a big party that lasts for days, and if you’re a cyclist, they will cheer for you as your ride by. You don’t know how many times a German, Belgian, or French family saved me by offering me food and water while I was out on a long ride. They just love their cyclists….even if you are a slow rider touring the countryside.

Club Silver Dollar

Elko Nevada

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was pretty busy so this will be a quick post. Sorry about that. If you are a regular here you know I have a soft spot for Americana and a great place to explore the forgotten west is Nevada.

An Evening Of 4-Wheelin’

Jones Pass At Night

I shot this image last summer when a buddy of mine Rick Louie and I were up exploring the Rocky Mountains. We had hiked up to about 12,000 feet, shot the sunset, and were heading home when we decided to stop and make a few more images. I was well into the exposure when this car started by. At first I was frustrated by its appearance, but upon further review, it turned out to be my favorite image of the night. You just never know what’s going to happen.

Check back tomorrow for my newest movie, ‘Contrast’. This one is a bit experimental.

A Little Town Called Elko

A Little Town Called Elko

Elko Nevada is a place you might pull off to get some rest if you are on a long road trip, but not a place you would set out to visit. It is an old gambling town, with a few buffets and card games. What I didn’t know about it was that just a mile over the hill (you can’t see them from downtown) are the Ruby Mountains, and they are amazing. I will make sure to post some photos from the Rubies in the future. They actually call Ruby Canyon a mini Yosemite…and they aren’t lying!

Rodeo

My work on the story of the Rodeo Athlete continued tonight. Here is a quick iPhone pic from the chutes. In case you were wondering, he made 8!
