Grainy Elevator
One thing I’ve always disliked about digital cameras is pixel ‘noise’. It’s kind of like grain, but doesn’t have a lick of aesthetic value. In fact, if it’s in your photos it pretty much says you don’t know better or don’t care. With film, a higher ISO dictates the amount of grain in your shots [...]
Happy 4th of July
I’m a bit busy with the holiday, but wanted to get another post up. This is an unnamed reservoir in the Shields Valley on the way to the Martinsdale Reservoir. Happy 4th of July, everyone!
Field in Rows II
What’s a field without rows? This is the second in a series I started back in March and will likely continue for years to come. Being such a common theme, it’ll probably take that long to build a collection of such images that speak for themselves from within the crowd.

Sunday evening I went for a drive along one of my favorite roads in the Shields Valley. I’ve tried several times in the past to take this same shot, but was never able to get the height needed to reveal the field. Today I decided to climb up on top of my car and was [...]

This scene came about north of Livingston on a very stormy day in the Shields Valley. Taken on the same photo drive as Thursday’s image, we were actually chasing a small hole in a large storm that had settled over the region. We followed it for about 100 miles, always trailing behind and [...]
When Rain Doth Pour
So…it’s been a while since I’ve posted, yeah? I went from the front burner with my project work straight into the flames of a nasty computer virus that killed my system entirely. And now I’m rebuilding after several sleepless nights of trying to tie loose ends into pretty little bows, but I’m getting things [...]
