Cool stuff Kirk.

I really like the first one!

Thanks. I had to deliver some images 30 days from when the residency ended. That image needs some more work on the sky, but I didn't want to put too much effort into it till I had a good drum scan to work on.

Very nice, Kirk. Looking forward to the gathering.
Yes I did some research for that. Need to do it about the time I was there in Mid May-before it gets too hot. I think we should stay at Hovenweep campground. It has 30+ campsites and according to the ranger, never ever fills. But it is far from anything like gas or food supplies.

Nice! Those two images look like a strong beginning.

Just got an email from the head of the BLM National Landscape Conservation System (which manages all the BLM "National Monuments") congratulating me on the results and thanking me for my efforts. Cool.

I've been to Hovenweep several times and have a nice collection of 4x5 negatives and transparencies. It's well worth packing a large format camera and tripod on the loop hike. Lots of don't miss opportunities. Once my wife and I were the sole visitors and had the campground all to ourselves. A Hovenweep photo from that trip is on my wife's latest music CD cover.
