Listening
Looking up at one of these radio towers at the VLA in New Mexico, gives you a deeply humbling perspective on just how small we are on this planet and in this universe.
Stellar Sentries
Night at the Very Large Array in New Mexico. This place is simply magical at night. I’d always been intrigued by this place and I’d wanted to visit it since I can remember. I finally got my chance and I took it. These towers are like nimble giants, constantly twitching and positioning and working tirelessly [...]
Stiles Courthouse
This old courthouse is all that remains of the ghost town of Stiles. I had driven down a narrow little dirt road to get here and then spent the night shooting the building for time-lapse material. As I sat in the dark, a loud rumbling sound came down the road and just out of my [...]
Forgotten Walls
The limestone walls of the Monument Rocks, also known as the Chalk Pyramids are located in the mode unlikely place: Kansas. Yes, that Kansas! Having spent a day and half here, admiring the beauty and tranquility of this place, I can safely say that I felt like “I wasn’t in Kansas anymore”.
Broken Dreams on Route 66
This is an abandoned motor lodge right on the old section of Route 66 near the Oklahoma/Texas border. This used to be quite the roadside attraction back in the day but now it sits as yet another ghostly reminder of the demise of the original Route 66 as the new Interstate 40 slowly replaced it.
Wahweap Hoodoos Under The Milky Way
After hiking nearly 5 miles down a semi-dry riverbed in the middle of the night, I finally emerged onto a scene that looked like it was from another planet. The Wahweap Hoodoos are just such a unique backdrop to the beautiful skies here.
Life On Mars
This was the reward for hiking nearly 5 miles down a horrible dry river bed to the Wahweap Hoodoos. The Hoodoos are lit in the background and there is another shot in this gallery of the hoodoos closeup, but I really like the scene from standing back aways too. This place felt like it was [...]
Stars Over Bomarton
This the abandoned church in the abandoned ghost town of Bomarton. It is a beautiful church that is almost nearly intact, only missing it’s pews. The altar and other sections of the church are all still in very good shape, as are the stained glass windows. On this night, the beauty of the church was [...]
Star Blossom
These are actually 25ft telephone poles believe it or not. These are all lined up as a weird piece of sculpture out in the middle of nowhere. The lighting on the poles was produced by a passing truck – which I noticed, but missed the first time it went by. I waited for another half [...]
Moab Glows
The glow of Moab works to create a nice interesting backlight behind Turret Arch in Arches National Park. It’s very dark here but I was pretty surprised by the amount of light pollution put off by the nearby town of Moab, UT. The milky way was rather impressive, rising over this beautiful location and kept [...]
