Desert Sunset

Sunset over Stovepipe Wells. The only editing I did to this photo was a tiny
bit of darkening on the edges and I added the black frame. Amazing sunset!

Salt Not Snow

This spot is just off the Highway 190 between Salt Creek and Furnace Creek. The
water caught our eye.
We parked and walked out to have a look. In places the salt and mineral deposits
looked so much like snow it was unreal.
The quiet, sense of space and increasing heat added to the other worldliness of the place.

Morning Scene

Early morning on the Mesquite Flat  Sand Dunes. Shadows, shape and texture.
I used a panorama camera and black and white film to make these photos. I 
posted similar photos on Instagram made with an iPhone X.

Ubehebe Crater

While the rest of her party headed off to hike around the crater. She set up
her chair and umbrella, got out hers books and began to study. I posted an 
iPhone version of this photo on Instagram. This one was made with a 35mm
camera and Kodak Pro 100 color film.

Palms

Here’s three versions of four palms near Furnace Creek. 
This one was made with a 35mm camera and color film.
This version was made with an iPhoneX and edited using Snapseed.
This version was made with the Hipstamatic application and an iPhoneX.
The California Fan Palm is not native to Death Valley. They were planted
as ornamental trees. The palms crowd out native species and consume lots
of water. That said, I have a thing for palms. Very photogenic in a desert setting.

Road Trip

Alice and I just finished a two week road trip. Our first stop was Manzanar
Japanese internment camp in the Owens Valley. Origami Cranes in the visitors center. 
It was cold and very windy. Not many visitors chose to explore the outside
areas. Manzanar is a powerful reminder of a shameful period in US history.

Jackson Ranch

Found this one on an unfinished roll of Holga film. The photo
was made on the return from a winter trip to Yosemite,
California State Route 140, near Catheys Valley.
