Large Format Landscapes

BetterSense and Austin, thanks. Vaughn, thanks again.

Austin, I grew up in west Marin, where I know you've spent some time. Sometimes I long for home now that I live in the east bay, but I feel lucky to at least have Briones right here.

David & Luc, thanks, its definitely a mesmerizing place.

Luc I actually do print on a natural cotton rag paper that is slightly warm tone, so if you are ever in the KC area drop me an e-mail and I'll show it to you.

And Austin its only a shoooooooooooooort drive from Portland and I think there's a couple interesting things on the way. lol Don't forget to stop at Wall Drug.

Here are a couple more images from the Badlands in South Dakota








This grassy area is just a short distance to the west, maybe 5 to 10 miles from the first one I posted.
The scale of this place is immense and beautiful. Its one of those places that will remind you what a big thing we are part of.

I haven't shot large format in two years (and not much before that) but I'm trying to get back into it. It's like learning everything anew.*

Badlands on some BLM land used for overflow camping at Chaco Culture National Historic Park.
This place was incredible we camped there for a week and saw no other people. These formation
cannot be seen from the road at all and you would think driving through is was all sage brush cow pasture.
When we turned off the gravel road onto the dirt path at the tiny little marker sign the ranger told us about
and we drove right up to the edge of this and about crapped our drawers. We thought we were going to be in
the middle of a cow pasture. Needless to say we spent most of trip right here barely made it back down to the
historic park.

Looks like an awesome location. Hope to visit Chaco this June.
