The Amazing Joe!

The horse far right is Joe, and has the amazing ability to know when to stop for taking photos. Joe knows a good view when he sees one. Photography assistants are hard to find, especially when they are a horse. He has been my horse on previous visits to the Circle Z Ranch in Patagonia, Arizona, where this photo was taken.

Nikon D200 with Nikkor 28mm lens.

Shanty Town

Tilt-shift is a technique that I have used with 4 x 5 and 8 x 10 cameras. Now you can do it digitally, which is the effect in this photo of some old disused orange packing houses.

Call of the Wild

While I was working inside the house, I heard the call of a hawk close by, so I grabbed my camera and ran outside to see the hawk circling right above me. This photo was taken with a Nikon D200 and a 70-200mm lens.
