Canyon with Clouds

This is the back side of "El Morro" also known as "Inscription Rock." It is a wonderful photo location with almost 500 year old inscriptions. This effect is done with Topaz Black and White Effects.

snow of the century

This was taken last February. I wanted it in black and white. I was not happy with the conversion. I did it again today with the Topaz black and white. I am pleased with the tonality.

ray meets weston

This is a crocodile with a pepper. I think it is very retro and maybe dadist. The more I look at it, I am taken by the story it fails to tell.

One Red Rock


This was taken Saturday at a badland near Cuba NM called Cejita Blanca. I have showed it to several people. Other than me, no one seems to like it. I was taken by the rock when I first noticed it. It is about 3 inches long and maybe 1 inch high.

Playing with layers. It is interesting but I do not know whether I think it is good

Hatchita Church

This is the steeple of a very small little used catholic church in Hachita NM. An upcoming photoclub category is "Icons" and I am thinking of submitting this one. I am particularly pleased with the texture of the stucco.

Agave Rhythm

This is a century plant. They are rather large and the spines are very sharp. I did break one off in my hand getting this photo. I like the repetition and the contrast between real and shadow forms.

The Cows

This was in the Gila last summer. I like the expressions on the cows faces and particularly like the line of cows on the horizon ... like Indians in an old western. I have tried this in black and white but it seems to lose some of the appeal.

October Prairie

Near Burbank Ok. I have photographed this barn several times. I frequently find the first or second shot are the best and I do not seem to take better retakes.

Winds of Change

Winds of Change was taken near Woodwardward OK. These wind turbines are very large. This one tied for a second place in one of the monthly exhibitions in our local photography club.

I call this one "negative cow." It appears to be a very old sign. I have not been able to get the entire image vibrant. I do however like this one a lot from a compositional standpoint.

This is the best in a series of orchid photos
