Another photo from my January visit to Death Valley. I loved the look of these tufts of grass among the dunes, so I found a composition I liked at midday and then waited until after sunset to expose some film. Photographed on Fuji Provia 100f 8x10 film.

Few things in life are as satisfying as performing poor quality sleight of hand tricks to a dog.

This is my second photo from my fall visit to Zion. Photographed on Fuji Provia 100F 8x10 film with my Chamonix Alpinist X camera and Fujinon C 300mm lens.

I found this scene in deep shade near the entrance of a slot canyon. To me the leaf looked like a sailor lost at sea. The frothy foreground texture of rain drops in the sand adds to the feeling of turbulent seas. Photographed on Fuji Provia 100F 8x10 film.

This photo was also taken on last month’s visit to North Coyote buttes. I love the soft pastel color palette of Provia in subdued light. Photographed on Fuji Provia 100F 8x10 film with my Chamonix Alpinist X 8x10 camera and a Fujinon C 450mm lens.

It’s time to start working on this year’s zine. Preorders begin next month.

A fine goal in life is to live in a country without missile parades.

This is my final photo from my February visit to Death Valley. While hiking down an alluvia fan, I spotted this white rock cradled by a dead desert holly. Photographed on Fuji Provia 100f 8x10 film with my Chamonix Alpinist X and a Fujinon A 240mm lens.

Photographed on Fuji Provia 100f 8x10 film using my Chamonix Alpinist X with a Nikkor SW 150mm. I spotted this short-lived glow the day before, noted the time, then returned to this canyon a bit earlier the following day to photograph it.

Whenever I see the word “Flatiron”, I read it as “Falitron” — which sounds more like a Transformer.

A photo from my February visit to the desert. It was a dry and windy winter, and I loved how course sand was blown among the mud tiles. Photographed on Fuji Provia 100f 8x10 film with my Chamonix Alpinist X camera and a Fujinon C 300mm f/8.5 lens.

On a windy day in Death Valley, I hiked to a canyon that was sheltered from the wind and photographed this wonderful glow. Photographed on Fuji Provia 100f 8x10 film with my Chamonix Alpinist X camera and a Fujinon A 240mm lens.

Much like my post from yesterday, this too is a scene I’ve tried to photograph several times before finally getting it right. Photographed on Fuji Provia 100f 8x10 film with my Chamonix Alpinist X camera and a Fujinon C 300mm f/8.5 lens.
