Santo Nino Cemetery in Carnuel, New Mexico

Santo Nino Cemetery in Carnuel, New Mexico

A Wind In The Hills

     On this day it was soooo windy. Wind that rips the car door out of your hand and chokes you when you open your mouth to speak. Wind that makes your eyes crusty. You know... New Mexico wind.
     Santo Nino Cemetery in Carnuel, is located off I-40 (Route 66) in the canyon that separates Albuquerque from the east mountains. It includes 259 grave sites, some dating back to the 1800's. I don't believe this cemetery is still in use but it is certainly still watched over by the local residents of Carnuel.
     Should you decide to visit Santo Nino Cemetery, arrive quietly, tread lightly, take your photos (and nothing else) and head on down the hill to get some pizza.
     As a matter of practicality, do spirits get blown around by the wind?

In 2005 I was commissioned to photograph a big game hunt in South Africa. These are are my stories.

International A$$

South Africa is the queen mother of all brothels.

When you talk to a man with soft hands who claims to have killed an elephant, you have to wonder what reason a man with soft hands has for doing such a thing. Unlike Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes, elephants are not high on the 1st world list of threats to humanity.

Abandoned Trading Post in the Ojito Wilderness

The Ojito Wilderness

     The Ojito Wilderness in New Mexico is an 11,000 acre site located north of Bernalillo, around the vicinity of San Ysidro. It is a BLM owned public open space full of desert jewels such as petrified wood, rare plant species, dry river beds, ancient petroglyphs, hoodoos and a generally alien landscape. 
     Some things to be aware of when visiting Ojito is that it is closed to motorized vehicles. I don't recall there being any proper parking lots and it is in no way ADA accessible. There are no bathrooms, water fountains, tour guides or snack bars. What there is is wind and lots of it. If you come here, be prepared to pack in anything you might need and carry it all out too. The desert doesn't want baby wipes and beer bottles so, as always, leave only footprints and take only photographs.

Tales From The Dark Continent Part 2: Baboons

In October of 2005, I was commissioned to photograph a big game hunt in South Africa. These are my stories.

Baboons

The dark hills of South Africa are filled with baboons. They hide in trees, scanning the landscape with human eyes, barking monkey messages to their monkey brethren and smiling broadly so the sun glints off their razor sharp lion teeth. To hunt a baboon is both murderous and futile. While a human predator camps out in the bush, waiting for an unsuspecting beast to wander in front of his gun, baboons are stripping his truck and using the parts to build a spaceship.

What is the best camera for photographing Hummingbirds? 
Canon DSLR vs. PowerShot Elph

     Hummingbirds are arguably one of the most difficult subjects to photograph. Their tiny size and incredible speed present a unique challenge to any photographer and any camera system. The issue, of course, is how to get an image that is both close-up and in-focus.
     As the old saying saying goes, "there's more than one way to skin a pig" and this summer I tested a couple of methods using different camera systems to see which would render the best results.
