Vanishing Point
Another image from March of 2006, I tried my hand at the classic Utah road shot. There are a number of stretches that have become traditional locations for the photo…I don’t think this was one of them. The effect works pretty well here, but the foreground is really ‘heavy’ because of the wide [...]
Goblin Valley Pano
One of the neatest places I visited during my March 2006 trip to Utah was Goblin Valley State Park. I’ve posted a few images before, but I’m not sure any of them really capture the feel of this place. It’s not the type of geography that ‘wows’ you with its scale and immensity, [...]
Faultline View, II
I’m cheating a bit with this evening’s post. I was going back through the images from my recent drive to Tom Minor Basin and came across another composition that I really like. This is essentially the same exact scene as from yesterday’s post, but taken at a much wider angle to include the [...]
Faultline View
This view of Emigrant Peak is from along an old access road that is currently being used to divert primary “traffic” after someone crashed into a bridge on the main road and rendered it unstable. Near its beginning, the dirt track winds up onto a hill at an impressive outcropping called Point of Rocks. [...]
Basin Front
I decided to take yesterday off from posting and enjoy the evening having dinner and playing guitars with a friend - good times. This morning I drove south toward Tom Minor Basin where a storm front was moving in. The light was pretty amazing and the mountains gave way to yet another scene [...]
Field in Winter
Just a quick post this evening, I’m buried under a number of projects and up against deadlines. This image was taken north of my home near Clyde Park, MT, a dusty town of about 350 residents in the Shields Valley. The home primarily to ranchers and a few shopkeepers, the little outpost hasn’t [...]
Locals Only
This sign stands at the edge of Ringling, MT, and pretty much means what it says…bullet holes included. Ringling was named after the famous John Ringling of Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey circus fame and is now home to only 55 residents in a county called Meagher. Once a stop along “the Milwaukee Road” [...]
