Blowing its Top

Volcán de Fuego erupted in the distance just as I pressed the shutter while I rested during my climb to the top of Volcán de Pacaya. So many of my photos over the years have been just luck. Scanned slide ~2005

Lake Atitlan & Volcán San Pedro - Out Our Window
#photography #travel #volcano #SanPedro #Atitlan #Guatemala #Panajachel
On one trip to Panajachel the view out our window was so stunning I just left my camera on a tripod in place the entire day, taking photos as the light changed. This is one. ~2005

Throat of Fire - Volcán de Pacaya

A lava tube on top of Pacaya, an active volcano outside Guatemala City ~2005 from a scanned slide. More evidence that I was too close & in retrospect an idiot

At the top of the Pacaya volcano outside Guatemala City ~2005 from a scanned slide. Yes we got that close, yes in retrospect we were idiots, and much luckier than some a few years later.

Sculpture garden, Santa Fe, New Mexico August 2006
My first crack at long exposure night time photography shortly after I got my first DSLR, a Canon EOS 5D. Taken during a photography workshop learning Photoshop at the Santa Fe Workshops. I believe this is the Wiford Gallery

Split, Croatia October 2006
The Split Breawater Light House. This was taken in the first year I had my Canon EOS 5D, and it's photos like this that prompted me to move to a EOS 6D with integrated GPS. I end up spending a lot of time trying to figure out where I took specific photos from this era of my photogrpahy.

Gas Chamber in Penitentiary of New Mexico “Old Main”; Santa Fe, NM. Can't decide color or #ClassicMono? Taken Aug 2006
Taken while attending my first workshop at Santa Fe Workshops to learn Photoshop so that I could do better with my new at the time Canon EOS 5D. I had taken less than 800 photos with the camera and didn't have Photoshop prior to the workshop.
