A Look Back—Yosemite Color

Photograph of a trees in Fall colors lining a road in Yosemite ValleyOctober of 2005 was the first time I visited Yosemite during the fall season. The bright yellows contrasted with the rugged granite walls and the evergreen trees. I found the curve of this road appealing.

A Look Back—Sunflowers

Photograph of sunflowers near Anzar Road, San Juan Bautista, CaliforniaRevisiting older shots reminds me of numerous expeditions looking for interesting subjects. It has also reminded me of the qualities of certain lenses that I seldom use these days. I used the Nikon 24-120mm for a long time but I used it less after I bought “Professional” lenses. However, many of the shots I like from that time period were taken with that lens. Maybe I need to revisit that lens again. This was taken near Anzar Road, north of San Juan Bautista, California.

New Mexico—State Road 14

Photograph of New Mexico State Road 14 looking back toward the Sandia Mountains.State Road 14 connects Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is part of a National Scenic Byway called the Turquoise Trail. In this photograph, I liked the textured layers of the mountains in the background as well as the sense of spaciousness created by the road leading away into the distance.
