Rio Seco

This wide, dry river twists through the Pojoaque Pueblo about 20 miles north of Santa Fe. In the background looms Truchas Peak and a monumental sky for which New Mexico is justly famous.

Totem

Some enterprising soul created this monument to manual labor in rural New Mexico. We can't know the impetus but it's skyward aim is compelling.

Ferrous Abstraction

One day in northern New Hampshire I chanced upon a graveyard of heavy equipment. As happens from time to time this was one of those places and moments when the photography gods were smiling.

Statuesque

Her back is quite powerful and beautiful at the same time.

Bunker Mentality

Battery Godfrey in San Francisco's Presidio is the gift that keeps on giving. Just couldn't take a bad shot in the place. As the fog moved through the WW1 battlement took on an eerie quality.

Lace

The delicate lines of this fence against the snowy white backdrop are particularly lyrical.

Taos Tipis

In the nineteenth century tipis (the right spelling) were made from hides but these 2010 versions are fabricated with heavy duty canvas. I'd been waiting for fresh snow and overcast skies to capture these imposing tents braced against the wind and single digit temperatures.
