This week’s 365 project theme of “dark” isn’t going as well as I’d hoped, due to a whole lot of snow (white) and cloudy nights with no stars. The weather seems to be turning, so until I get some shots I want to share I thought I’d...

This week’s theme of “white” for my 365 photo project was fun and relatively easy. As you can imagine, early January in Taos gave me a lot of options. What’s the theme for this week? Dark. Not only will it be a good contrast to this week, but I...

Is it just me, or does 2015 seem ridiculously futuristic? Like jetpacks, housecleaning robots, and psychopathic computers named Hal? Despite the lack of all that (so far), I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready for the new year. I quit making...

My friend Susan picks a word to use as a touchstone for the year, and I liked the idea so much I’m giving it a shot for 2015. My word is emergence. I’ve had a good run with my work this year, and it feels like I’m on the cusp of a big leap forward. I...

I’m not a morning person. I mean, I love them, I’m just not great at having coherent conversations or making sure the coffee filter is sitting on top of the mug before pouring the boiling water. (I’ve actually done this.) But I’d never been to...

You asked for it and I delivered, just in time for Christmas, Chanukah, or Solstice shopping. (Not sure if shopping for Winter Solstice gifts is a thing, but let’s go with it.) My best work is now available for purchase here on the blog by clicking the...

Maybe it’s because I didn’t have the map. I really, really wanted to sense the multiple energy vortexes that apparently litter the tiny town of Sedona, Arizona like so many steaming mugs of Chai tea. But alas, I didn’t feel a vortex at all. What I...

I’ve been putting off writing this post, because what can you possibly say about the Grand Canyon (AZ) that hasn’t already been said? I’ve seen it now a few times – the first when I was five – and every single time it takes my breath...

I didn’t have much time at El Malpais National Monument (NM), so I only have photos and no fun stories to share. I didn’t check out the lava tube caves, for example, but since I’m claustrophobic there certainly would have been some fun stories there....

On the last New Mexico Scampabout I visited Shiprock, a town on the Navajo reservation in Northwest New Mexico. It’s home to a community college and medical center, as well as this formation that looks just like how you’d expect it to: Why is it I’m...
