For some of us, the shift from analog to digital happened within our adult lifetimes, and many of our memories are still on old VHS tapes, camcorder cassettes, and film reels. Weddings, new babies, family reunions, and summer vacations were saved on tape, but are now unwatchable for people without the corresponding outdated machines. This…

Does it matter if I paint with a physical paintbrush and real paint, or a digital paintbrush and a computer? Digital Painting Versus “Real” Painting Author Malcom Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert at something. At 20 hours a week, that’s 10 years. I have spent many years learning…
Photo Painting This expressionistic image started with a very plain and realistic high desert photo I shot in Montana. The composition was good, but it needed something more. So as I worked on it, the picture evolved into a wild waterfall behind some crazy trees. From just rocks and a mountain to a waterfall, yes, it…

The hill, or thrust, on which this picture was taken is a unique geologic feature because the rocks on top are older than those on the bottom. We enjoyed the peaceful morning waiting for the sunrise. Because this image is a full 360 degree view, it is also part of our Red Rock National Conservation Area…
I stood in this field for more than an hour as the sun moved behind the trees and then behind the mountain. I enjoyed watching the light change, moving from sharp back lighting to intensely deep blues and pinks as the sun completely disappeared. I took many panoramic shots as the light changed. This 180…
I shot this in July, 2014 along Lee Canyon Road, Nevada on the way to Mt. Charleston. I didn’t get around to post-processing it until April, 2015. This is a 180 degree panorama. These are some of the most intense and colorful clouds I’ve ever seen, and I’m very pleased I was there to get…
We backpacked behind Red Rock National Conservation Area and spent the night at the top of Pine Creek. This was our greeting in the morning, a calm, orange sunrise as the swallows whizzed past our heads with the sounds of tiny jets. This portion of the cliff is approximately 2,000 feet above Pine Creek. This…
With the knowledge that the auction record for a photograph is $4.3 million (see my blog $4.3 Million for a Photograph?) a discussion about art and photography is appropriate, but more generally, a discussion about what art is. I’ve called myself a photographer since the 80s, but I didn’t think about whether or not I…
This panorama shows an approximately 200 degree view and is made with 13 images to reveal the sharpness and detail from foreground to background in Red Rock National Conservation Area. The tallest section is Mt. Wilson. The rain during the night left the desert looking clean and colorful. I waited for the right moment, just…
