I was doing some product photography in my studio yesterday and when I walked outside to leave I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was raining. I wound up being quite delayed in getting to my truck because I can never resist shooting in the streets outside my studio when it’s raining. I was soaked through to the skin by the time I was finally ready to drive home but I was happy to have had the chance to do some creative work just for myself for a change.

One of the reasons I love spending time in the southwest with a camera is because I love to work with color and texture and these ingredients are found together there in abundance.

I decided to follow up on yesterday’s post with another black and white image of repetitive patterns.

I was photographing an event recently where people raced through a mud obstacle course. Of course I was just as interested in the abstract patterns in the mud as I was in the racing action.

This is from a portrait session in my studio this weekend. This is one of a few shots where I deviated from the portrait aspect of the shoot to get something more artistic in nature.

A nice spot for an autumn stroll along the Rio Grande.

I felt it wouldn’t be inappropriate to get “artistic” with this image that I took while I was outside the Salvador Dali Museum last week.

I decided I was in the mood to post a good old-fashioned black and white image today.

Bold colors and simple geometry are things that I truly enjoy combining in basic yet strong compositions. The end result may look very simple – and that’s exactly my intention, but it actually took some time and effort once I spotted the elements to make it work. Anyone watching me changing lenses and crawling around on the ground to find the right position and angle might have thought I was slightly nuts but this type of image really agrees with my personal artistic sensibilities. So for me it was worth the work and I really don’t mind what anyone who saw me lying in the dirt might have thought.

A bit of visual proof that those sacks are filled with something delicious.

Warm color vs. cool, sharp vs. soft, light vs. dark, man-made vs. natural, hard vs. soft, heavy vs. lightweight, repetition vs. singular…you get the idea.

The late afternoon light was soft and warm through the window of this little shrine, gently illuminating a touching scene.

I’m glad no one had time to do any spring cleaning before I walked by this storefront with my camera.

I was making a print of this image for someone and realized that even though I posted it here on my photo journal once before that was at least 8 years ago. I figured since I had the file in front of me I would go ahead and rerun it because by now it will be new to most people who look at my journal these days.

The direction of light on this tree and it’s placement with respect to the adobe wall made me stop in my tracks as I was walking by. Using adobe as a background in compositions is one of my favorite things to do.

I have an undenial penchant for very simple geometric compositions. This fresh paint in an alley near my studio caught my eye the other day and made me happy.
