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.

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.
