Other Galleries
This Gallery is constantly updated so check back for new photos. Photographs can be matted and framed or just matted. The PhotoShop work here is limited to lightening, darkening, adjusting contrast and the removal of any dust spots or anything minor of that sort. Nothing has been implimented into the scene. My style ranges from natural views to the look of photoshopped imagery due to the lack the dynamic range of camera sensor. These photographs are the world as I see it with or with out my artistic touch.
Assignment photography available upon request.

The Scale of a Sand Storm
Death Valley, CA
Desert Gold in the Wind
It's a wonder why it is so hard for flowers in Death Valley to try and stay alive much past their peak. Beyond the heat of the day they also have to deal with constant wind and sand storms.
I really liked how the the hair on the stems was backlighting as the sun set behind a giant sand storm. It was a little tough to pull off with the dust, sand and rocks flying around.
One exposure and double RAW processed.
1/30 f22 iso 50
I picked a lot of movement for a 1/30 of second. I bracketed the scene and went with the underexposed file because I could pull enough detail out of it and still get the sun to come out not too overexposed.
Never Ending
Death Valley NP, California
Bracing the Elements
Mojave Desert
Sand storms aren't as bad as you think they would be if you're prepared. The winds were around 25 to 30 miles per hour with "GUSTS" of wind up to 50 mph. It was fun getting the back of my ears sand blasted because I was not prepared. I used my windbreaker for a camera blanket to keep the dust out of it so I was full of sand. I enjoyed getting dirty. I left it pretty much just raw except for a few minor things.
