* My next show will be under the auspices of the New Mexico Cancer Center. It is a benefit for the Center. The theme of this show is: Movers and Shakers – Works by Artists Who Teach, Lead and Inspire. This event is very well attended and sales can be brisk. There are usually around 400 pieces from 20 artists covering a wide range of media. Show dates are August 23-November 19, 2021. I'll have additional information as the Opening draws closer.

I will be featuring images from my landscape series, "Language of the Land" (image, below).

Are Photographers Still Debating JPEG vs RAW Image Format?

‘ll be honest with you… I actually thought this debate was over. I thought that enough time had passed… and that the argument had been hashed and rehashed to the point of ridiculousness. But apparently not. It seems that the JPEG vs RAW image format debate is still alive and well among nature photographer today.

The Pep Ventosa Technique

Pep Ventosa is the photographer who has made popular the technique of walking all around a subject taking photographs, and then combining all the shots in a multi-layered final image. He uses hundreds of shots to create his masterpieces, but you can get started using only 3 or 4 layers.

What’s In My Bag – 2021 Edition

It has been a while since I did one of these posts, but I recently added a couple of new lenses to my kit so I thought it would be a good time. In fact, I haven’t done one of these posts since I switched from Canon to Sony last year, so this will be a very different looking kit this time around.

I Just Let Go of Half My Gear and I Feel Great: 3 Reasons You Should Thin Out Your Collection

It’s been a long time coming for some of my gear. I hardly used it and it was worth more to someone else.

Like many film photographers, I have had an inordinate number of cameras in my collection over the years. So much gear in fact that I was hardly ever able to use most of it.
