Image
So I need to continue to use this blog, if for nothing but for a visual diary for myself. This page used to be important to me. It really isn't now. My youngest son moved to New Mexico with me in February. I'm happy he's here and decided to go... Continue reading

So

I needed to gather some pictures from this blog, which I created before social media had totally taken over society. I wanted to see some images from almost a decade ago. I know who the audience was when I began the blog. I was writing for one person, one person... Continue reading

Things can only get better! Yesterday we went on a little hike to El Malpais. The last couple of weeks have been crazy with the beginning school and managing to get a bad cold on top of that not to mention two amazing weekends in my new home state of... Continue reading

Oklahoma Nights
Image
I did a little night shooting while I was in Oklahoma. I did a lot of front porch sitting in Oklahoma this summer. I got divorced this spring, so I spent the summer at the farm with my parents and my sister. It was good. I need to spend time... Continue reading

I've Decided
Image
That it's time to work on this blog. A few weeks ago I went to El Malpais and wanted to do some night photography. This wasn't a good evening. I was homesick for Oklahoma. I just wanted something normal. Driving around in the desert to shoot the stars. My divorce... Continue reading

A Dead Blog
Image
My blog is nearing the state of one of the lost ones. Seven years I've worked on "Expedition Oklahoma" but this last year and a half have been the hardest to maintain interest and stay motivated. I have also spent the last six months in technological limbo; a failed internet... Continue reading

When my youngest son was two and we lived in the shadow of this mesa he called it "Home, home Zuni." My first full year teaching was in this ancient pueblo. I didn't know a lot about the southwest until I moved to Zuni. It was a learning experience, personal... Continue reading

Insert Inspirational Quote Here.... There might be a few that inspire me below... I don't need inspiration transposed on my images. I don't need peaceful nature when I share these images.

Life With Dogs

Photography when done for my own happiness is a form of mindfulness. It's a meditation. But, often when I'm shooting for others it is stress, anxiety and the desire to perform and please people. The days I want to escape the most are the days when the puffy cumulous clouds... Continue reading
