I think that was his name. The warm light and sharp focus on the eyes combined with the backdrop that looks painted makes me very happy with this image. People who’ve seen it have complained that most of the horse is cut off, but I wanted to be right up in his face.

Bob, pretty boy
The late fall light was perfect, and Bob just stared me down and didn’t twitch except to try and make the fly you can see on his face move away. I’ve got this one on my wall.
Not a Bad Place to Rest
This great old truck is parked on some quiet property out in rural New Mexico- I’m sure it hasn’t gone anywhere for many years but I wouldn’t mind my last rest to be in these beautiful hills. It looks like maybe a ’60s era GMC but I’m not really sure. Any ideas?
Fall Flowers in New Mexico
Finally processing some fall images from a trip to NM- makes me look forward to spring! I love the colors, I have a few others with close ups of insects that I’ll have to post as well.
Pin-Up Take 1
Maybe I like shooting people as well…can’t really take a bad picture of this model though 😉
Dust Storm Rising – Deming, NM
The dust storm grew behind, metal rattling and voices howling. Before we turned tail against the angry stinging sand, a train rumbled by, the empty windows of this abandoned place staring desolate through the flashes of space between cars.
Nyx, Doggess of the Night
Miss gorgeous loves to pose- I named both of my dogs after gods since it’s so easily transposed. Nyx is the little-known Greek goddess of the night…a fitting name I’d say. I used a great Photoshop action for her eyes (from thepioneerwoman.com), a few tweaks to the raw files, and there we go.
Falling Light
It is pretty amazing how many photos it took before I figured out how to capture the lens flare AND keep the exposure light enough to see the leaves. I’d like to see it a little brighter still, but love the beautiful golden color + light. I’m a-lernin.
Chinese Shadow Painting in the Desert
Something about the layers of shadow drew me to our wall the other afternoon…the light was bouncing around from so many directions that it looks almost like a Chinese ink painting. I love this shot.
Route 66- The Years Flash By
Nature takes back what belongs to her. It doesn’t take as long as you might imagine. I amped up the saturation slightly on this one, but it really is this pink. See the sandstone in the background that brought the color to the asphalt?
