Ahhh, this photograph brings me back, once again, to one of the most epic photographic experiences of my life, that one time in the Namib Desert when I chartered a tiny Cessna and flew for two hours over some of the most beautiful, barren, poetic landscape I have ever had the pleasure of staring wide-eyed …
A zoomed out version of the earlier photo, The Color Purple. I like this one better. Two trees at Deadvlei, dancing to the sun. Magic 179/365, Two in the Pan, Namibia, December 31, 2017
Sounds like the title of some really profound Sufi poem, but it’s not. It’s just the only thing my tired mind could think of. I am officially caught up on my blog now. I am still in the race and heading for the half-way mark and then on to the finish line. And with this last …
This goal of mine, to post a photo a day for a year, is kind of like running a marathon. I have never actually run a marathon, but I ran a half marathon, and I did an Olympic distance triathlon. Endurance training taught me A LOT about life, or should I say, about how to LIVE …
I had been doing really well keeping up with my blog while raising a newborn and I felt like I had a really good rhythm going. Then I found out about this cool grant that I wanted to apply for. And I missed a day. And then my container from Congo came and my partner …
I am spending the next few days working through the photos of the dunes in Namib-Naukluft park. I LOVED photographing in this park. The stark contrast the sun created when it rose over the dunes made for beautiful imagery. Magic 175/365, Dune in the Morning, Namib-Naukluft Park, December 31, 2017
This is an HDR panoramic I did of Deadvlei in Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. It was only 9am but already the light was so bright, but I love the colors the light brought out in the dunes. Magic 174/365, Deadvlei Panoramic, Namibia
Purple is not a color you see much in nature, especially in the desert. That’s why I find it so surprising to be coming through loud and clear in many of my HDR photos of Deadvlei in Namib-Naukluft park in Namibia. Magic 173/365, The Color Purple, Deadvlei, Namibia, January 2018
No better words can describe the magic of the sun than Rumi. So in honor of the Northern Hemisphere’s summer solstice here is a little bit of Rumi to reflect on and bring the magic into your light. May your longest day be full of beauty and wonder! Sunlight washes a dark face. The flower …
This is a fun HDR shot I took on the walk into Deadvlei in Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. Usually, I stay more on the documentary side of processing but sometimes these HDR photos take on a life of their own. I loaded these brackets into Auror HDR and immediately the colors became electric. So I went with …
