So you thought pot holes in the US were bad. Look at these bubbling hot pot holes in Iceland. Actually this one of many geo-thermal fields scattered around Iceland. What you miss is the smell. Very stinky and very beautiful.

Fall Colors
Well it’s been a few weeks since my surgery and I just had to get out of the house. Not being able to lift a camera has been driving me crazy too. I will recover and get my strength in my shoulder back, but there comes a time where you just have to take some steps. On Sunday I ventured out with my friend Debra and we took a journey south and found some fall colors and waterfalls. The day was just perfect and the colors were just hitting peak. I ended up shooting the iPhone left handed. Yeah, pretty pathetic considering I wanted to shoot the big boy IQ180 the whole time. In any case I was able to get some nice images. Here is one. And as a bonus, I got to visit with my youngest son Scott in Bloomington. He’s looking good!
Seeing Different
I am still recovering from the rotator cuff injury and the most frustrating thing is I can’t lift a camera. I am going out for a drive today to shoot and I will use my iPhone. The picture above was shot with an iPhone and then jazzed up a bit on my iPad. It’s of a statue ( community art) in my town Carmel, IN. It’s just a fun shot showing how with cropping and some playing with camera angle you can come up with an unusual shot.
Man – San Miguel
I have been looking at this image for a long time and it just keeps hitting me as a strong shot. Taken in San Miguel, Mexico while strolling the streets doing some street photography. The expression, clothing, color and light works well.
Subtle Antelope
Antelope Canyon, is a magical place. I have published other Antelope images on the forum here before. Today’s shot I like because it is more subtle, not as contrasty. You could spend days in the slot canyons and not catch every possible angle. Seeing the right shot can be difficult though. Put this place on your must see place.
Miami Beach
I have said many times when I visit a city, I like to see it and shoot it. Miami is no exception. I got up prior to dawn and strolled the Miami Beach area. Interesting place that early in the morning. All sorts of interesting and sometimes scary people out there. I took this shot as I liked the colors and geometry f the image. Done with a P45+ and a 350mm lens on a Contax.
Antarctica Sunset
It seems that when you visit Antarctica you can point your camera in almost any direction and take a great photo. It is an overwhelming landscape. This shot was taken during one of the three hour sunsets and encompasses much of what i know Antarctica to be. Water, ice, icebergs and exceptional light.
Made You Look
It’s fun to make images that make you stop and look twice. Something to exercise the mind as it searches for a definition of what it is seeing. This image is kind of like that. What is it? What do you see? The answer- it’s shot from the top floor balcony of Water Tower Place in Chicago looking down an an atrium like setting. Kind of cool isn’t it?
Peeling Paint
I needed a dose of peeling paint. Everyone knows I love peeling paint and rust. This is a peeling paint shot made with a Phase One P65+ inside a railroad car. Random and colorful. I will do a book someday on all the peeling paint shots I have.
Anchor
Make an anchor look good. I love objects that are peer of other, and I have been drawn to anchors after shooting some cool rusty ones in Argentina. I didn’t have to go far to shoot this image though. It was made in Saugutuck Michigan at and old lake passenger ship museum. Lots of very graphic elements at this ship. More to come soon.
