A farewell shot of Hawaii — this, from the Kekaha Kai State Park, just north of the Kona airport on Hawaii’s big island:
Thought the view would be a good fit for my crystal ball; my 7 year old should be credited with the name for the post.

One handy thing about being an “expatriate” New Mexican is that you can set up luminarias (or to be fussy, farolitos) almost anywhere. Courtesy of a snow storm a few days ago, this year [...]
One of the really nice extras of the holiday season from a photographer’s perspective is that a lot of places put on special shows for a few weeks…

I saw this and just was struck by the odd (if somewhat subtle) difference between the geometry of the railing and that of its shadow. I didn’t have to do much to this shot other than tweak the saturation a bit. The odd break in [...]
I’ve discovered that bins of beads can make for some interesting (and easy to find!) photo opportunities. Here’s a shot I took a while back in a trinket store in Albuquerque, New Mexico:
