I’ve had my eye on this spot for a while and I’ll probably return here again. I was waiting for either an overcast day or a perfect sunset to go and make a photo. I need to make an image here to hang in someone’s home. My vision for the photo they want is with the pond, the row of …
Borobudur Temple
I visited Borobudur Temple early in the morning hoping to get some epic sunrise photos. Don’t try to go in before sunrise even if there is a side gate open. That’s a long story not worth re-telling. I recommend that you just go to the main entrance and buy a ticket like everybody else. Well, the weather didn’t cooperate and …
Ice or Surf Ambiguous Photography
Is it Ice or is it Surf? I like photos that make you look twice to figure out what you’re looking at. I’m not sure if this image fully accomplishes that, but that’s what I was going for at the time. There was a period where I only took these kind of photos. I was stuck in a rut only …
Moonrise
This moonrise over Mount Sopris is a rare sight in Colorado. Yes, the moon does rise every day. We are on planet earth and all those cycles are consistent here. We rarely see a sunset and moonrise cycle with a completely cloudless sky. That’s especially true in the mountains of Colorado. This is one of our location stops on the …
What is Known

I enjoy a lot of tv shows and movies that are heavy on imagination, sci-fi and even fantasy. She likes narratives that are rooted in the real world. We’re different that way and that’s a …
Devil’s Water Painting
Water painting in the swamps. Well that’s what it looked like to me anyway. I’ve been working through some old images, and applying creative editing when looking at them because frankly sometimes the image just wasn’t that interesting to begin with. Learning which photos are worth spending time on is a learning curve that I’m still working on. My post …
A Monotone Day at the Coast
A monotone photography day happens when black and white is your best option. That great light is just not happening so go monotone. Just do it. I used to be so committed to getting the great sunset shot when the sky goes off and there are deep colors all over the place. Yes, of course that’s awesome but I decided …
First Visit to China’s Great Wall
This was my first visit to the Great Wall of China. I was there with a few thousand Chinese who were on vacation. What would you do on vacation? Go and see the national monuments of course. I crammed into a corner at the top of a tower and took this shot with a small point and shoot camera. I’m …
