Hey, so I’ve been getting lots of great feedback from people who’ve seen my current exhibit, “Of Fairytale Kingdoms,” at the Arlington Public Library, Central Branch in Virginia.  This weekend is the last weekend of the show, so do stop by if you have a chance, and leave me a message on this blog if [...]

May 2010 Wallpaper: Hoodoo Nation I

View of the hoodoos from Inspiration Point at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. Thin, protruding spires of rock, hoodoos have been formed over thousands of years by water, wind, ice, and gravity. The northern section of Bryce Canyon National Park boasts the largest concentration of hoodoos in the world.

Here’s my May 2010 [...]

Prepping for My Next Next Exhibit: Of Fairytale Kingdoms

Last weekend, I was prepping for my next next exhibit, picking out the 10 images, figuring out what sizes I’ll print them in, and drawing out the schematic of their placement.  My next next exhibit will be at the Arlington Public Library, Central Library Branch in Virginia, and I’m calling it, “Of Fairytale Kingdoms.”  Since I just [...]

More from the American Southwest: Utah

I’ve finally finished processing all my photos from my two-week Christmas-New Year’s road trip through the national and state parks of Southern Utah.  You might notice I’ve also been playing around with textures in some of the photos.  Fun!!!  My next fine art exhibits will be in April (Art League of Germantown’s “Shades of Spring” show) [...]

Utah Parks Road Trip, Day 13: Arches National Park, End-of-the-Road

Alas, this is our last morning in Utah before heading home to Washington, DC, so we definitely had to get up for the sunrise.  Of all the places we’ve seen around Moab, I must say that Turret Arch by the North and South Windows is my hands down favorite.  It’s where we started on Day [...]

Playing around in Photoshop: Day for Night

I was playing around with OnOne Plug-In Suite 5 on my Utah Parks Road Trip Day 12 photo of Landscape Arch in Arches National Park, Utah.  Check out this look.  It’s called “Day for Night.”  I like it…

Utah Parks Road Trip, Day 10: Capitol Reef, Goblin Valley State Park, Dead Horse Point State Park, and Canyonlands National Park

Today was a hell of a day – we hit two national parks and two state parks.  First, we got up for the sunrise at Capitol Reef National Park.  We were told that Notom Road, which runs north-south on the other side of the rocks of Capitol Reef, is a good place to catch the [...]

Utah Road Trips, Day 8: Zion National Park and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

 

Virgin River, snow-covered mountains in the background, Zion National Park, Utah

With yesterday’s AWESOME fiery Zion sunset, we were totally motivated to get up early this morning, hopeful for an incredible sunrise.  Alas, it was not to be.  It was already snowing when the alarm sounded at 6 AM.  We still rushed  to get ready and [...]

Utah Parks Road Trip, Day 7: Zion National Park

This has got to be my best photography day yet on this trip.  Remember I said a few days ago that I couldn’t imagine Zion being more spectacular than Bryce?  Well, today was absolutely incredible.  We went up the Weeping Rock trail, which was pretty icy.  At one point there was an ice landslide covering [...]

Utah Parks Road Trip, Day 5: Bryce Canyon

This is our last day in Bryce Canyon.  Four nights is probably more than what most people spend, and tomorrow, we head over to Zion.  Everyone talks about how wonderful Zion is, but I just can’t imagine it being more spectacular than Bryce.  It’s too bad that a lot of the trails weren’t tracked what [...]
