This image was taken with my smart phone. I did not set out to photograph with my smart phone it just happened that way. You see it was a beautiful day in New Mexico and I was wracking my brain for someplace to shoot outside that was not too far from home. I kept thinking… Continue reading Winter Leaf
Belated Roses
I apologize for being late with this weekly post but I suffered a hard drive failure last week and just got my computer back today. Happily no images were lost and that was sheer luck because I have been seriously negligent about backing up. Lesson learned! So I was playing with a bouquet of roses… Continue reading Belated Roses
Milk Abstract
It was another week of snarfy winter weather here in New Mexico so my plan to go to the Bosque del Apache was thwarted. My backup plan to go shoot inside the greenhouse at the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens was also twarted by snow or a threat of snow each day. And it was too cold… Continue reading Milk Abstract
Colors of New Mexico
When the weather interferes with my plans, as it did this week, I find myself trolling through the files looking for images that I might process differently based on new skills or new software. This one was shot at Ghost Ranch in Northern New Mexico back in November of 2006. Out of the camera the… Continue reading Colors of New Mexico
Mission San Diego de Alcala

I won’t show the before picture this week but the biggest thing I did to this image was to edit out… Continue reading Star of India
Cottonwood Tree
Before After I originally planned to post my favorite image from 2013 as the first image of the year but I am getting bored with best ofs and recaps and 2013 in general so I decided to move forward and start with something new. (If you really want to see my pick for best… Continue reading Cottonwood Tree
Christmas Lights
This week’s photography consisted of a couple of strolls around the neighborhood to photograph Christmas Lights. Once in awhile you just know as soon as you push the shutter release button that you’ve nailed it. So it was with this image. I did adjust the exposure slightly in levels and cropped off some distracting lights… Continue reading Christmas Lights
Japanese Kokeshi Dolls
Before After One of my retirement resolutions was that I would visit all the museums in Santa Fe. Nearly two years on I thought it was about time I got started. Plus, I needed somewhere more interesting than my neighborhood to test drive the new Canon EOS M. So when I learned the International… Continue reading Japanese Kokeshi Dolls
