A Loser at the Top of His Game Las Vegas, Nevada 2012

Everyone’s got to have a gimmick in Las Vegas, at least those soliciting money on the streets seem to. This Winnie the Pooh character and the corresponding Mickie and Minnie Mouse characters down the street were some of the funnier ones.]]>

Falls at Emerald Pool Zion National Park, Utah 2012

One last shot from Zion, this one with sort of an antique toning effect. Tomorrow, we’re going to Vegas baby!]]>

Finding Your Niche Zion National Park, Utah 2012

Compared to the amount of bare rock, there’s much much soil to grow in in Zion. But every little nook, cranny, and crack in the sandstone that can collect bits of matter and moisture seems to eventually serve as a home for some form of plant life.]]>

Shroom Rock Zion National Park, Utah 2012

I thought this rock looked like a gigantic puffball mushroom, with the black and white drips at the base serving as its stem.]]>

If you live in the Bozeman area, there are two opportunities coming up this week to see some of my photographs on display in downtown Bozeman. This morning I am hanging my Opus Corvus exhibit at the Ecce Fine Art Gallery in the Emerson Center for the Arts and Culture. There will be an opening reception Friday, April 13 from 5-8p.m. during the Emerson’s art walk. Also beginning Friday the 13th, an eclectic trio of some of my favorite photographs will be on view in the reception area at Touch of Sense Massage Therapy at 7 W. Main St. (second floor). There will be reception there on Friday 4-7p.m. as well, celebrating their grand opening.]]>

Twisted Zion National Park, Utah 2012

The rocks don’t have it any better than the tree roots in Zion’s canyons–it’s a hard life either way.]]>

Good to the Last Drop Zion National Park, Utah 2012

I’ve never lived anywhere where it rained so much I got tired of it. I could see it happening though because I have lived in places where it was cloudy so much I got tired of it. But not in the desert where it’s such a unique experience to get caught out in the rain that it’s actually quite pleasurable.]]>

Zion Rockscape #3 Zion National Park, Utah 2012

Like the previous two images, this rock scene seems to be overlaid with a wood-grain pattern.]]>

Zion Rockscape #2 Zion National Park, Utah 2012

I don’t know about you, but I see the sun rising over some foggy mountains in this one, sort of a sandstone version of one of J.M.W. Turner’s more abstract storm paintings, for example this one:

The Arrival of Louis-Philippe at Portsmouth J.M.W. Turner 1844
