Ruins, Atotonilco, Mexico

A short drive outside of San Miguel, Mexico is a small town with a big church, Atotonilco, Mexico.  There is like in all parts of the area a lot to shoot.  The church  interior itself is a site to behold.  I’ll most likely post an image of the church in the not so distant future.  This image was made a block away from the church looking towards  the church over some ruins.  There seems to be a lot of ruins around Mexico and they always make for some great images.  This one I thought looked kind of apocalyptic.

Bull Ring Water Cart

I was visiting my good friend Micahel Reichmann in San Miguel Mexico and across the street from him is a bull fighting ring.  It’s kind of funny as it sits in the middle of a neighborhood.  This is a shot of a cool looking water cart they drag around the bull ring to keep the dust down.

Lady In Doorway

There is an oasis in the middle of Mexico known as San Miguel Allende.  This a town that is hard to describe except that it has a charm that you don’t expect. It’s a great place for street photography as well as landscape photography.  This is a shot made on the street of a doorway and a woman sitting in it.

iPhone Is A Camera Too

Sometimes when traveling I just want to have fun taking photos.  A year ago I was n Copenhagen on business and I took an early morning walk.  How could I resist as it was very foggy and that makes for some interesting images.  While I had my big boy camera with me, I thought I would try some shots with Hipstamatic and the iPhone.  How cool!  This is one of those images of a woman walking through the square where the royal family lives.  her red hair, the fog and the design in the bricks makes this shot work.

Live From Decay

20061020_trains_-0154 wcrNature has a way of claiming what is hers.  So many times in my travels I see nature taking back what was hers.  This was very evident in this shot.  I stumbled upon an old box car and it was rusting away.  Out of the rust was the beginnings of a new plant.  Maybe in 50 years there won’t be anything but a pile of rust and dirt and a lot of new plants.  Made with an IQ180 camera from Phase One.

So Many Times

Waterfall In Iceland
Waterfall In Iceland

This is a location I have photographed many times in Iceland.  On each visit I shoot at this wonderful place.  It’s right by the road and has an easy pull off.  I shoot with different lenses and from different angles.  Combine this with different light and every time I leave this great place I walk away with a great image.  Here is one version from a year ago.  I’ll be visiting Iceland again in a few weeks and I am sure going to shoot here again.

Stalker Castle

I shot most of my images with the Phase One camera and digital back.  However, I do have a few other cameras that I carry with me not to mention my trusty iPhone.  This image was made on the Olympus OMD 5 using the dramatic art effect.  I really liked it so I thought it would be fun to share.  This is shot in Scotland at Castle Stalker.

New Zealand Ice

Let’s move to another part of the world.  I was looking for blog candidate images the other day from my inventory of images and this image jumped out.  This image was made in New Zealand at Mt. Cook.  I took a Zodiac ride into the lake filled with these mini Icebergs broken off from a near by glacier.  The skies turned dark and the color popped and I clicked.  Hope you enjoy this image.

Wide Angle Sand Arch

Another image from an absolutely amazing trip to the Moab area.  This shot was made at Sand Arch in Arches National Park.  I used a Phase One IQ 180 camera and a new 28mm LS to create it.  Using depth of field and selective focus I was able to keep everything sharp fro the foreground to the background.  Add great light and it was not hard to get a good image.  I used Capture One to add drama to the image and adjust the brightness of the tree trunk.

The Last Shot Of The Day and Week

Fiery Furnace, Arches National Park
Fiery Furnace, Arches National Park

It’s been a good week in Moab.  I was tagging along on workshops by workshops by Andy Biggs.  We have been centered in Moab making excursions into Canyonlands and Arches National Parks.  Both are amazing  with spectacular overlooks and made for photographers.  This shot was made an area called Fiery Furnace.  I used a Phase One IQ180 and a 150mm lens to capture this shot. I ahve a few more images that will appear in coming days.  This was just one of those moments where the right light and clouds just come together.
