This photograph was made during a back country hike near Deckers, Colorado. The late afternoon light emphasizes the stark shapes of the rocks and rugged beauty of the area. This area was the scene of a large fire a few years before the image was made and the results of the fire, the bare mountain sides and the bare tree trunks show the damage of the fire, but new growth...

The photograph was made with 6×7 Fuji Velvia on a very hot summer day. The canyon is a Texas state park near Amarillo in the Texas panhandle. It’s the second largest...

Sunset on Mt. Scott I had photographed these two Juniper trees on top of Mt. Scott before. On this occasion I used a Pentax 67 and a 105mm lens. The lens is shorter than the one used before so the sun is not as large as my previous photograph. The large 6×7 Velvia chrome provides much better image quality than the 35mm Kodachrome of the first one and the camera is...
