Sego Canyon Pictographs

This image shows another of my passions….Rock Art! This huge panel is in Sego Canyon, Utah and is made up of Pictographs which are painted on instead of being etched out as Petroglyphs are. Lucky for us the dyes last so long. I added contrast using Photoshop which makes the art more visible.

Awaiting pollinators

My back-up drives are nearly full but rather than buying more storage, I decided to start culling out worthless images…..something I’ve been thinking about for some time. Lightroom makes the process go relatively quickly and so far I’ve been able to recover a considerable amount of space.

Besides enjoying a trip down memory lane, I’m also finding images I have never processed like this Icelandic Poppy and Spider from June, 2003.

Spiders will wait for prey on flowers loaded with pollen.

Sunflower Hill

Here’s another of my favorite infrareds. The Sunflower Hill Bed and Breakfast in Moab, Utah is one of the most special places we’ve ever stayed and I felt infrared would show off its charm perfectly. This was taken in 2003 with my Minolta Dimage 7. Shortly after, they put in a hot tub on the side lawn which took away a lot of the charm in my opinion but it’s still a great place with fabulous breakfasts!

Turret Arch sunrise

In an effort to learn photography, but mainly as a way to see the West, I attended a lot of photography workshops when I moved to Arizona. As a result, I’ve captured many iconic scenes at sunrise such as this view of Turret Arch in Arches National Park (Oct 2001). I’m glad I attended those workshops back then or I wouldn’t have some most of my best sunrise shots!
