Sundown No. 1, San Luis Valley, Colorado
Our new place is about 2 miles south of the sand dunes in the foothills of the Sangres facing Mt. Blanca. This is black bear country. There are pinon trees, deer antlers litter the woods, and the coyotes yip at dusk. This sounds like a pack of about a dozen within a couple hundred feet [...]
Abandoned Ford, San Luis Valley, Colorado
Made with a Zero45 pinhole camera at sunset in the San Luis Valley, Colorado. Hand held at f216 with a yellow filter. Exposure was about 4 seconds.
Truck and Wire, near Blanca, Colorado
”Truck and Wire” was made on Highway 150 a few miles south of the Great Sand Dunes. I used a yellow filter on a Zero45 set at f216/75mm. We’ve decided to rent a place in the San Luis Valley where we’ll stay for the winter. The photographic material here is abundant and the dunes are [...]
E. Church Street, San Luis, Colorado
Greetings from Las Vegas, New Mexico. I’ve seen some beautiful country this last week in the Chama Valley in New Mexico and lower San Luis Valley in Colorado. We’ve made a couple of ever-widening loops along the New Mexico-Colorado border and while we’ve seen lovely scenery we still haven’t found the place where we want [...]
Gallup, NM
We’ve settled in for the night in Gallup, NM. Tomorrow we head out down I-40 for a bit and then northeast to Cuba, NM. Hope to find a few things to pinhole there tomorrow. I’ve always wanted to go to the other Cuba but I’ll probably never make it there due to [...]
Rain in Sedona
Here we are in Sedona where we are spending the weekend before our next pinhole roadtrip to New Mexico and Colorado. We leave on Monday. The sale of my home in Jerome closed yesterday and we handed over the can of keys for the new owner. We packed too much gear for the trip so [...]
Five Days to Go…
“Rhyolite Bank” arrived home safely after a month in the big apple at the 440 Gallery. I was pleased to find a stack of announcement cards from the show in the box. This will be a nice momento to add to my scrap book. We leave this coming Friday for New Mexico and Colorado. [...]
Graveyard, Darwin California
We leave in 10 days and the storage unit that I rented in the valley is almost full. I’ll pinhole it tomorrow so you can see what I mean. It looks as though I’m leaving the darkroom gear in storage until we find a place to live. Since we’re down to one set of wheels, [...]
