The Textures of Santorini

As a photographer, much of the fun of visiting Santorini is wandering the narrow alleys and stumbling upon wonderful little architectural features like this door.

Sweetwater March

This past winter in Tucson was disappointingly mild. Certainly every winter in Tucson is mild by most measures, and not a winter at all for Minnesotans. But usually there are some respectable hard freezes and last winter it even snowed. … Continue readingSweetwater March

Oxnard in Artificial Light

My first of three trips to Oxnard last year was only a few weeks after I received my new Nikon Z7. I really hadn’t had much time to use it yet, so I spent an evening after dark walking around the hotel grounds taking pictures of whatever looked interesting.

Summer Drive over Redington Pass

Earlier this year I purchased a Chevy Colorado ZR2. It’s an off-road beast, but I am a novice at that sort of thing. So I have been driving some dirt roads just to get a feel for it. This morning I drove over Redington Pass … Continue readingSummer Drive over Redington Pass

Photo Adventure—Ragged Top in Ironwood Forest National Monument, Arizona

A number of years ago, while driving east on I-10 towards Tucson, Arizona, I noticed a very interesting mountain off to the south and had no idea what it was or how to get there, but I thought it would make a nice photography subject. … Continue readingPhoto Adventure—Ragged Top in Ironwood Forest National Monument, Arizona

Isolation with the Lensbaby Sweet 50

The Lensbaby Sweet 50 is a manually-focused 50mm f/2.5 lens with the interesting ability to restrict the sharpness in an image to a localized portion of the frame. Most lenses are designed to have good sharpness from the center out to the edges and corners of the … Continue readingIsolation with the Lensbaby Sweet 50
