A new diner shot

New Mexico has too few diners and you really need to look closely for the shot.

Color shots.

A friend here in Albuquerque shoots as well and calls his blog “What my camera sees”. Great title. Wish I had thought of it. I see odd things mostly. My stuff was once called bauhaus industrial photography. I like that better.
This shot was taken on the back deck of the USS Midway in San Diego. I like empty chairs. More emotional than people.

One more gaping maw

I seem to be shooting this type of image lately. Original is in color but then moved to Black and white infrared. Digital photography is too crisp and clean. The BWIR makes them more gritty.

This was shot in SWan Fransisco on the piers.

HP Show entry

Here is the juuried photo. It is a 20″X20″ framed piece. It is labelled as digital art printed on canvas. Price is $400. And it is the second piece in a run of two. Only these prints will be made. Original file will be watermarked. Number one in the series of two resides in Santa Fe.

Photo accepted to juried show

Was informed this morning that “Screamers” was juried into a new show at the Rio Rancho HP Pavillion. Really happy about this. Thanks to the juror.

Zia Arts and Crafts show

Realized today I am selling “digital” art in a show that requires non digital media. How is that meaningful?

Monty Python’s 40th Anniversary

The past two weeks have been terrific with the celebration of the troupe’s 40th anniversary of the television broadcast.  I remember seeing them for the first time in about 1972 on PBS in New Jersey.  Whatever sense of humor I have was seeded with those first broadcasts.  Sirius satellite radio dedicated one channel for two weeks to replays of the Python’s skits and movies.  It was terrific to listen in but made one want more of the visual comedy.  The current photo was taken in Santa Fe (NM).  Once I got it back to the monitor it screamed the title for me.

Old Sacramento Escape

A recent trip to Sacramento and San Francisco (CA) made for decent shooting.  I have discovered an interest in fire escapes in Chicago and the older structures in Old Sacramento had some great fire escapes.   The shadows and contrast from the metal of the escape with the brick is some great stuff.

Albuquerque Wine Festival

SunDog Photos will be at the Wine Festival at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Park on May 23-24-25, 2009. COme on out and visit us at the Fiesta and sample the local wines.

Chicago Images

A recent trip to Chicago yielded a couple of interesting images (at least to me).  The first is the gaping maw of the Chicago subway stairs.  There was something ominous about the black depths of the entry.

The second image is of a fire escape on a nearby apartment building.  This one was of interest because of the contrasting patterns, a throw back to some earlier themes of past works.
