Thanks to the TT Roadhouse, Erik, and Deadbolt. That was a great show.
I heard about the the Moab Photowalk the night before it happened, and I signed up for it the morning of the event. “Event” probably makes it sound larger than it actually was. I met Nancy and Deirdre, and the three of us wandered around for a little while in the downtown area. It was an enjoyable way to spend the morning. Here’s some of the photos I shot that day, and I’ve added my new friends Deirdre and Nancy to the Cameras of Canyonlands page, even though we weren’t able to enter any nearby federal land…
While it’s always fun to meet new people, I was actually quite pleased to meet two people with whom I had so much in common – in my circle of friends I don’t recall the last time someone asked my about my digital workflow preference. Nancy and Deirdre both asked what I liked shooting – and I was stumped good on that one. I don’t have a favorite single thing really, so it got me thinking…
Of the images I made on the photowalk, this one through the fence at the pool is my favorite. In light of that and a little thinking I’ve done over the last few days, I think what I like to shoot is abstract… but not too abstract. I’m kind of drawn to shapes. I’m also drawn to garbage. Can you call this abstract? I should think about this a little more…
Thanks to Deirdre and Nancy for the pleasant morning – feel free to contact me anytime. And if you’re in Moab and didn’t attend this photowalk – think about it next time…
Thanks for looking.
We drove over to Durango, Colorado a few weeks ago and took in some early fall colors. It was a great drive, and a great first snow of the fall season.
All shots here taken with my Lomography Diana 20mm Fisheye Lens

Silverton Colorado Photographs
Super cool thrift store in Silverton, Colorado. The Jailhouse Thrift Store. A collection as eclectic and funky as the town itself. Really a pleasure to shop here and wander around for a few minutes – even if was freezing cold.
Thanks for looking!
Autumn in Arches; Sunsets and Full Moons
We’ve been spending the evenings in Arches lately – there’s no place better to be in the fall in Utah…
Thanks for looking – enjoy the images. More photos of Arches National Park from earlier in the week here.

We went to Arches National Park the other evening – like we do at least once a week – and this time I brought my (in digital terms) ancient Canon EOS 20D
There’s been a lot of talk and interest in some sort of “digital holga” on the internet for some time – and while this digital Holga design exercise is awesome, it’s never come to fruition that I know of. Short of something like that happening – a plastic lens on an old SLR is about as close as you’re going to come to the real Holga experience without the hassle and cost of actually reverting to film.
Late in the evening at Balanced Rock I met Kazu from Tokyo, who was kind enough to let me take his photo and add him to my Cameras of Canyonlands collection. He was traveling with a very nice Leica M9
Thanks for looking.
Camera booms don’t get more modern than this:
This is not quite, but almost, officially my next obsession… I’ll need to work into it slowly – these cats claimed they were 20K into this setup. I’ll have to start with the flying GoPro…
Rainy Day at Arches
We spent the afternoon at Arches National Park after a thundershower. I wandered around with my wide-angle lens and got these shots.
At Balanced Rock I met Eric from Wisconsin. He was traveling light and fast with a Ricoh GRD III. A great little camera for doing just that, especially when coupled with the Ultrapod II mini tripod. I’ve added him to the Cameras of Canyonlands page. It was a great day in the park.

Very cool Ricoh GRDIII on the Ultrapod II
Thanks for looking.
