This image was made in Monument Valley in Magic Valley at an indian ruin. I saw this stick and liked how it contrasted with the wall. Simple and a bit different. Changing it to BW made all the difference.

Lonely Penguin
I love penguins, who doesn’t? This image was made in Antarctica on an island. There was just this one lost should penguin taking a walk. Kind of gives a feel for the loneliness of the place and the beauty.
It’s Ice Time
For the next few days I’ll be posting images from my previous three trips to Antarctica. It’s the ultimate adventure and I will be making a trip there in 2013 and 2014. People ask if there is one place I like the most in all my travels where would it be. Simple answer – Antarctica. There is truly no place like it anywhere. The images I have taken there and sites I have seen will be with me to the day I die. Truly an amazing place to visit. This shot was made in the Gullet. Usually Ice choked we were able to navigate it on one of the most incredible bright days and still days ever. The water was as smooth as a mirror. The sky a deep blue that was astonishing. And the ice and reflections were so fantastic. I will post more from the Gullet and elsewhere. Hope you enjoy this.
Time For Catch Up
I am home until the day after Thanksgiving them off to Philadelphia area for a 40th reunion. The years are stacking up. I am home for a day after that then catch a flight to New Zealand. The trip to NZ is along. But I have methods to deal with 28 hours of flying. Hope my iPad can make it. I can charge it on the plane. This image is one of many from Scotland. Castle Stalker done with some artistic flare.
Clint’s Secret Spot
As you can tell from previous posts I was leading a PODAS workshop in Monument Valley and the Slot Canyons last wee. We had a great time and great images. To do photography in remote areas we needed to use Indian guides. We had 4 really great guides in Monument Valley. The guide who was driving the 4WD drive I was in had many of his own secret spots. Seems all the Indian guides have locations that they consider theirs. This was one of those spots. Very nice at sunrise.
Hunts Mesa Pano
I previously posted a smaller version of this image. This shot was stitched together from Phase One IQ files to make this Pano. It shows the immense scene we could see from a top of this Mesa. It doesn’t replace being there or even the trip to get there. What a day.
Lower Antelope Canyon
Another great day of photography this past Thursday. We visited Lower Antelope Canyon and had great light and I managed to take a ton of pictures. This is just one I made. I have enough images from this trip to post for months and I haven’t even started to edit yet.
Monument Valley
It’s been very hard posting the last few weeks. I have been leading PODAS Photography workshops in Scotland and now in Monument Valley and also did some family things in between. For now I am going full speed at the PODAS Monument Valley workshop and oh what a workshop it has been. Amazing photography. I have a lot of images to post here in the weeks to come. For now you’ll have to settle for this shot from Hunts Messa.
Green Island Cemetary
One of the places w visited in Scotland was one of the oldest known cemeteries. We spent nearly two hours here after an 1.5 hour boat ride. Only way to visit this place is by boat. To say the place was surreal would be an understatement. It deserved the BW treatment. I’ll post some more interesting image from here in the near future.
Train In The Valley
The Scotland trip continues. Today is the last day of shooting followed by closing ceremonies tonight. This has been an excellent PODAS workshop as we have photographed so many great places, made new friends and had a few laughs. Makes photography a lot of fun. The attendees from the workshop are from all over the world and it’s great to see how a passion of photography is common everywhere. This shot made with the Phase One IQ180 is of the Glenfinnan Viaduct. This was the last run for this train until net spring.
