I had had a few Tecates at this point, and was mostly hoping the big burly guys inside didn’t come out to see me messing around their bikes. Luckily you can’t see my inebriated, worried face in the reflection… or can you….

Daily Photo: Where the River Went
I had to stick my camera through some chain-link to get this unobstructed view- this was after a long day of shooting most of the day and my battery was dying, but couldn’t pass up this tower in the afternoon light. The guy that painted this mural has painted all of the Las Cruces city water tanks.
Can We Come In?
They are not allowed in the bedroom, but they like to peek around the corner. And before you tell me I’m cruel, they’re not exactly abused. They sleep in the house all day and get two walks a day.
Our house is dim, and we have old light fixtures that barely give off enough light to see. I had to crank up the ISO for this, and it got a little too grainy. It’s still cute, though.
Window to a Dirty Truth
Or roof. It’s the skylight in our house. It took me quite a few shots to get this right, I wanted a balance of total black in the shadows and enough clarity to see the texture of the wall. I got one flooded out shot that looks like the tunnel you are supposed to see when you die…I like this one, though, it’s got a depressing air about it, like being trapped in a mineshaft.
Melted Crayon Skies
This is what happened just seconds before that first sunset that I posted a few days ago.
A Sign of the Mothereffin’ Times
More Northern New Mexico awesome. I love these colors, the composition, everything about this shot. I would have liked a little more light but it was snowing so…
Rowdy and me. Somewhere in the desert, circa around 1988.
Special Little Snowflakes
I’ve been playing with fast shutter speeds to try to capture rain or snow. I think I’m finally starting to get it- using the telephoto lens to totally blur out the background, and fast shutter speeds.
They’re Here
And they hang out in deserted northern New Mexico. These stickered signs are strewn along the highway outside Taos.
Crayon Skies
New Mexico has one thing going for it- amazing light. I know why so many artists have settled here, there is something special in the desert and the colors.
