The New Mexico Penitentiary, damn, what an amazing place! Joe has shot at this locale a ton, you can see his amazing images from here in both his great books. Well, we had it for a subject and backdrop for a great day of photography. The site of the worst prison riot in US history was an incredibly photographic rich locale. This photo of one of the cell blocks had bigtime dramatic light.

Simple Click – NM Light

Ah, back to the comfort zone and a DLWS specialty, killer light. In this case, the pending storm made the light dance providing me two cool versions of the same scene. The contrasty light made for a snappy B&W. No-brainer! [swf]http://www.moosepeterson.com/swf_imgs/_bmp1753.swf, 585, 444 [/swf] The softer light made for the killer color image. Why do I think this? I like the snappy whites in my B&Ws and in this case, the church is pretty snappy taking the up through the frame. In the color, the subtle colors of the light, foreground, middleground and background blended so going to shades of gray wasn't ...

ISAP – Nellis AFB

For the last few days, I've been having the time of my life with all the folks at ISAP. On Friday, we had a field trip to Nellis AFB for an amazing day of photography. Now I realize that aviation photography isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you are a photographer, then you are a worshiper of light and in that pursuit, you can make a click anywhere! [swf]http://www.moosepeterson.com/swf_imgs/_BMP9372.swf, 585, 444 [/swf] The main event of the day for us was standing between the runways at Nellis during take offs and landings. Ear protection is a must but feeling the thrust ...

Simple Click – Errands

I'm about to be on the road for a month, literally, will only see the house 4 days in March. And yeah, I miss it when I'm not there. The Sierra is a special place, where the folks and the land welcome you like few other places on the planet. I'm leaving with about 12' of snow in the front yard, not a great year but not a bad one either. As you might imagine, there are a number of basic household chores that have to be done prior to taking off and in snow country, there are a few ...

Simple Click – Not Really

Say hi to a Light-footed Clapper Rail. While this is a simple click, straight out of the camera, actually getting the photo is anything but simple. The Light-footed Clapper Rail is a very endangered species.... [Read more of this Post]

I Love Limpkins!

I don’t know why, but these unique and crazy birds are just cool to me. With that said, I’ve not photographed them for a decade. Not for the lack of trying, they just aren’t common until... [Read more of this Post]
