A few years ago, I photographed these vibrant, algae-covered rocks at Otter Crest Beach on the Oregon Coast. The spot only appears at low tide and is crazy slippery. On my last visit, the rocks were buried under sand, so I’m glad I captured this scene when I had the chance.

“Desert Vespers” recently was awarded gold at a National BMW show here in Colorado. This is one of my favorite images, taken at dawn in the desert. See alt text #scape #classicmono #ir #infrared #EastCoastKin #bnw
Rock formations, cloudy skies in the desert at dawn. 

"I believe that spiritual resistance -- the ability to stand firm at the center of our convictions when everything around us asks us to concede, that our capacity to face the harsh measures of a life, comes from the deep quiet of listening to the land, the river, the rocks. There is a resonance of humility that has evolved with the earth. It is the best retrieved in solitude amidst the stillness of days in the desert.”

Each year, these charming little Forget-Me-Nots establish themselves along the edges of the lake, infusing the area with a lovely shade of blue. I suspect they are Water Forget-Me-Nots, scientifically known as Myosotis scorpioides, though I'm open to correction as I'm not an expert.

Many photographers believe that wide-angle lenses exaggerate distances and make objects appear farther apart, while telephoto lenses compress space and bring the background closer to the foreground. But is this really true? #landscapephotography #naturephotography #focallength #cameralens
