Exploring Plaza Blanca

Back in March, we spent some time in Abiquiu, New Mexico and one afternoon went out to explore a nearby spot known as the White Place, or Plaza Blanca.  It's famous for being the favorite local spot and frequent inspiration of famed artist Georgia O'Keeffe, and it's pretty magnificent.  Today's post is a collection of 23 photos I captured while hiking around there one afternoon.  It's almost a lunar landscape, and I think you will enjoy this.  Have a look!

Driving Highway 1

Not your typical Nashville photos

Today's post is a collection of random pics from my recent travels to Nashville.  It's a beautiful city, but one day I focused on shooting the offbeat and overlooked stuff, instead of the traditionally beautiful spots there.  I like what I came away with.  Shooting things that are usually overlooked is a great exercise for expanding your creative vision.  Have a look!

An unbelievable sunset in Bandon, Oregon

As photographers, we are ever hopeful and optimistic about the light.  We hope and pray for good things to happen in the atmosphere, so we can capture it and share it.  Usually it ends up being ok, but now and then you get a really amazing display of Earth's beauty.  I was lucky enough to have that happen to me recently while in Bandon, Oregon.  Here are 14 pics that show you just how awesome this sunset really was!

Sedona seduces

We spent a few days in lovely and enticing Sedona recently, and it was fabulous.  I can see why people are drawn there.  Even with temps soaring into the 100's, I was able to get out and shoot (without melting!) and even got some great skies while doing so.  Have a look at these 14 pics and enjoy!

Golden hour on the Brooklyn Bridge

How awesome is the Brooklyn Bridge?  Pretty awesome!  Here's a collection of shots from a photo outing I had there one evening last year.  It started around sunset and kept on going into blue hour.  Hopefully I can return to NYC later this year and shoot it again - there's a lot of things to aim the camera at there!  (Hey Jim, that's pretty obvious! LOL)

iPhone fun in San Francisco

I spent last week in San Francisco, and despite being really busy at work, I still got out and fired away quite a bit!  I came home with around 1100 photos, which is a pretty good haul when my time is limited.  I shot all over town, too, and hit some new spots. It was great.  Today's post is a bit of a teaser though, as these are all iPhone pics from the trip, since I haven't had time to process anything yet.  More on that later.  For now, enjoy the beauty of the City by the Bay!

Highlights from a week in Paris

Have you ever heard that Paris is beautiful?  No?  I didn't think so.  :-)  I spent a week there last Fall, and captured so many photos that I still have plenty to process.  But although I shared these in some spots, I never got around to writing up this summary post about the trip and sharing the photographic highlights - until now!  So dive in and enjoy these 23 photos from the fabulously beautiful City of Light!

Sunset in Atlanta

I love sunset, and when you get a stellar one it's even more fun!  I caught this one way back in 2012, but never got around to processing or sharing any of the pics until now.  Read my thoughts on being so far behind, why I am ok with it, and see some pretty pics too!

A big bunch of Dublin stuff!

There is just so much to shoot in Dublin, and so much to love about it.  I really enjoy my visits there, and always come home happy (and with a few memory cards that are bursting at the seams!).  Today I share 22 photos from my most recent trip to Dublin.  Lots of street scenes and pubs in this one, so beware...you might want to hop on a plane after this!

The Eiffel Tower from Trocadero

There is just so much awesomeness in Paris - starting with that iconic symbol of the city, the Eiffel Tower.  On my last trip there, I shot it a LOT, starting with today's photos which are from The Trocadero.  It's across the River Seine from the Eiffel Tower and as you can clearly see, offers up a pretty incredible view!  Have a look and enjoy!
