One of the garden spots for great landscapes in the US is a little know area called the Palouse. I’ll be leading a Photography Workshop there this fall with a well know shooter. The area is rolling hill, fields, open skies and landscapes that reach to the horizon. Stay tuned for more information.

Purple Ice
This has been a weird few days of weather here in Indianapolis. We had 70 degree weather and 24 hours later we had snow and ice. While not significant it got me thinking cold again. So, today I present purple ice. This is an iceberg shot in Antarctica. The sun didn’t really set when I was there, it just kind of change to this magnificent purple – orange glow and lasted for a few hours. A totally incredible things to witness. Hope you enjoy this shot. You can see more of my Antarctica images by CLICKING HERE.
Performing Art Center With A Bit Of Fun
Today was one of those dramatic days in Indianapolis. We just had a tornado warning. Fun – fun! Anyway I was driving back from doing some errands this afternoon and saw the dramatic sky behind the Performing Arts Center. So I stopped and took out my iPhone and did a 30 image pano with stitch. I then over dinner worked some iPhone fun on the image. So here it is. All in all it was fun and isn’t that what taking pictures all about.
More Peeling Paint
You gotta love it….peeling paint in another train car. I was having a great day! Might be fun to iPhone work this one.
Paint Peeling
Haven’t posted peeling paint or rusty image for a while. So, here you go peeling paint. I am always amazed at ow beautiful decaying things can look. This was done in a set of abandoned train cars in Noblesville, IN.
Zion
A beautiful National Park not too far from Las Vegas – Zion. This is a relatively small park but it has so much to offer. This is one of many images I have from the park. Shot with the P65+ and a long lens. This is one of the valley cliff walls. Color is amazing and the scene is very striking under the right light.
Scary Head
My favorite Antique, junk yard – Sunset Junque in Michigan is a photographer’s paradise. This image was of a paper mache character there. I love the blue eyes. I took the image shot with a Canon 5D11 and then ran it through the iPad adding some effects. I think I have made this image creepy enough. I posted another image I made here a few days ago. Look for more I have a lot of fun and great images from this place.
The Stairs
Continuing with Mexico shots I present another image from the abandoned hotel. This is a set of stairs basically going no where. It was made with 5 exposures and brought together in Photomatix and then post processed on the iPad. Amazing what you can do with your photographs these days. I really liked the feel and the way this flows. Let me know what you think.
The Room
While in San Manguel Mexico my friend Michael Reichmann and I explored an abandoned hotel. Apparently they were building this nice hotel only to discover it was too close to a dam and if the dam burt the hotel would be gone. So, they just stopped building it. I shot this with the GH2 in HDR mode. Then took the image into a few iPhone apps then output finished a few things in PhotoShop and here you have the final image. This was a room off to the side and it just caught my eye. Read into it what you may.
Creepy
There is this cool place I visit every year called Sunset Junk just outside of Saugatuck, Michigan. This a photographers’ paradise and you will see more images from this great place over time. This was shot of two mannequins sitting under old hair dryers with weeds growing around them. Shot on a Canon 5DII and then worked on in the iPhone.
