Magic Light

God Rays, Upper Antelope Canyon, Page, AZ

I am out in Arizona working on the details for a November PODAS workshop.  It will include the Monument Valley area and Slot Canyons of Page, AZ.  Today I spent some time in Upper Antelope canyon shooting and checking it out.  There are two canyons upper and lower and both are great places for photos.  On the workshop not only will we spend time in each of these but we also visit some canyons that you only can see if you know the right people.  The same goes for Monument Valley.  I’ll post information about this workshop when I have all the details.  This is just one cool image with sun rays shooting to the canyon floor.  I have a lot of keepers from today.

Pilgrims Bed

Pilgrims Bed, Mexico

On my recent trip to Mexico I had the opportunity to visit a church not too far from San Miguel where there was a pilgrimage of about 1000 men.  They come to this church for a week of worship.  They all sleep there and everyone sets up a sleeping area like you see above.  Pretty amazing place and some great images were made there.

Old Abandoned Hotel, San Miguel, Mexico

Here is another shot made at the abandoned hotel in San Miguel, Mexico.  This was such a fun place to shoot.  I embellished the image a bit to add to the mood and overall despair of this building.  Shot with a Phase One IQ180 this image has spectacular detail and allows me to hold the dynamic exposure range of highlights to shadows.

Mexican Hotel Room

Hotel Room - After a wild party, Mexcio

On my PODAS workshop trip in Mexico, we had the chance to shoot in an abandoned hotel,  This hotel was well on its way to being  luxury hotel until they figured out it was sitting under a dam and the dam just might someday break and wipe out the hotel and its guests.  Sounds like good planning to me.  This is a shot of one of the hotel rooms that never got finished. Shot with a Phase One IQ 180 and 28mm lens.

Doorways and Tree

Doorway, Doorway, Tree, near San Miguel, Mexico

While shooting at an old abandoned silver mine, I came across this doorway that lead to another doorway that framed a tree in an old room perfectly.  I love the colors and the whole two dimension, three dimension thing going on.  The image is sharp as a tai being taken with an IQ180 camera.  On a print you can see all the detail on the tree.

San Miguel Alley

Alley, San Miguel, Mexico

A month ago I lead a Phase One PODAS workshop to San Miguel Mexico.  We had a blast and photographed a lot differently than we do at usual PODAS workshops.  We did a lot of medium format street photography.  This is an image I found in an alley that was also an above ground burial vault area.  It was so very pretty and I could resist shooting and sharing this shot.

Truck In A Barn

Truck in a barn, Palouse, WA

One of my favorites spots in the US to shoot is an area called the Palouse.  It’s Located in SE Washington and consists for rolling farmland.  Yeah, I know farm land, sure how can that be so great?  The area is surreal, beautiful old barns, immense skies and all sorts of surprises.  The season in late May to early June is planting time.  This si where the fields are being plowed and planted.  The landscape if dynamic.  Then in late August the harvest takes place and it even more dramatic.  You can use the cloud tags below and click on Palouse to see more images.  This shot is of an old truck found in a barn there.  Abandoned near as I can tell in the late 1940’s.  Pristine condition, no vandalism and just waiting to be photographed.  From the ton of images I did there this one kind of tells the overall story.

Inside Mexican Church

Courtyard in Mexican church

On my recent trip to San Miguel, Mexico, we were given the chance to see behind the sciences at a large church not to far from San Miguel.  There was a pilgrimage going on at the time and this is a shot inside one of the courtyard inside this church.  I like the arches, and the way the people are positioned.  What are they doing?  What is this place.

Pilgrimage – Mexico

Hall in a church during a pilgrimage

While on my recent trip in Mexico we got a rare opportunity to visit a church in a small village.  Daniel Ortiz our local attendee with us knew the priest at this church and obtained permission for us to photograph in the back of the church where most people never go.  The church was holding a pilgrimage and there were a thousand men there for the week praying and being part of the event.  I have a lot of images that are really nice and will be sharing them here over time.  This image though I liked.  The detail in it blown up large is so sharp.  I used an IQ 180 camera to shoot it so it better bee with 80 mega pixels.  This was a hall that I stumbled upon by accident and it just blew me a way.  All these men bring a bed roll and a small chair and sleep in hals like this. Here they are shown relaxing after a lunch.  The time exposure of 10 seconds make it interesting as some people are moving and appear very ghost like and others are still.  The hallway while it looks nice and bright here was very dim and dull.
