I intentionally took this photo with focus on the ancient ruins and blurring the background of the Milky Way. During this lucky shot, a meteorite streaked across the sky.

In October, I shot my first ever desert lightning bolts. Because it was at night, I really couldn't do much for the composition. It was still a really fun and unexpected capture.

Struggled editing this one; so this is what I'm going with for now. I was shooting in sub-optimal lighting conditions. Eventually, I'll need to return and give this another try.

Located in Stonewall Gap Colorado, sitting a few feet from the road and flanked by a tall spine of rock, this old Chevy Deluxe sits beside a house. Its brilliant blue made it an easy find and a great photo.

Near perfect setting for an abandoned truck; almost like it was left there and waiting just for me to find. I have worked several edits of this shot, but I think this more natural tone is my current favorite.

I was surprised to find someone was living here. As I approached for the shot, several dogs ran up in defense of the property. Though they were all friendly, a skinny, lengthy figure shouted apologies from a doorway. "Sorry Dude", said the man. (Continued ⬇️)

Landscape photography is definitely not my strongpoint, but I do enjoy it. Cloudy Fall afternoon in La Veta Colorado.

Happy Friday! I'll go into more detail about this shot in another week or two. Great story behind the owner!

I will always love minimalist style photography. Making the viewer and the subject seem like they are alone in the world.

Shot from Tuesday night. Even with the intense floodlights on an airport tarmac, the aurora was still visible!

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting photos from a recent trip to southern CO and UT. Lots of landscapes, abandoned buildings, old vehicles, ancient Puebloan structures, astrophotography, and a little lightning.

1 year ago today - the October 10th aurora. Been a while since I shot the aurora. Timing has just not been working out lately. I'll need to find some more creative foreground for the next show.

About a year ago, I planned one of the best non-storm photos I have ever taken. Now, we have another potentially visible comet! Making plans for another southwest trip in the next week or two, and hopefully, another comet shot!

Yesterday's chase was very grungy, but I was able to sneak in a few clear shots. Little structure north of Culbertson Nebraska.
