Airship hangars on the Aviation field of Briot, Picardy region of France

a day on the north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison

These images and those in the subsequent post were taken in 2010. This was my first solo photo op to try to apply some book learning I had acquired. It is so much easier to read about art and photography than to develop one’s skills and practice it. But I knew I had a lot of work to do.

There are several artistic and technical aspects that I would like to bring up. 1. Always shoot in RAW format.…

June 2017 print of the month

fall in the San Juan Wilderness

This month’s print of the month is a divergence from the Southwest’s arid and rocky forms and colors.

I have always liked leading lines when I compose an image, as they lead the viewer into the image. I have loved photographing trails for the simple reason that they are leading lines.

It may be a location or subject, but the project is tied together by its uniformity of presentation. In Alain’s teaching paradigm, projects lead to a personal style. In my opinion Alain’s brilliance among all other educators is his…

Upper Antelope Canyon light shaft
