🌟 Featured Art for November: Church in Desert Tapestry 🌟

Yesterday, I ventured down into a mine—something I never thought I’d do given my claustrophobia. If you know me, you know what a big deal that is! Thankfully, the mine was spacious, and the highlight was a stunning phosphorescent geode room that you can actually walk into. Here are a few images I captured while exploring! #overcomingfears

I’m beyond excited to share *Timeless Path to the Mission Sanctuary,* an image that captures a place with deep personal meaning—the San Francisco de Asís Catholic Mission Church in Taos, New Mexico. This iconic location holds a special place in my heart, as one of my favorite photographers, Ansel Adams, once photographed this very church. His artistry has profoundly shaped my approach, and this black-and-white infrared photograph stands as a tribute to his influence.

In this ethereal scene, the historic church is framed within an aged adobe archway, crowned by a prominent cross that feels like a beacon of faith. Two more crosses rise into the sky, adding to the solemn, sacred atmosphere. The textured adobe walls and winding path invite the viewer into a contemplative journey, balanced by soft foliage that introduces a sense of harmony.

The infrared medium adds a mystical glow, transforming the familiar architecture into something transcendent. The interplay of light, shadow, and symbolism captures more than just a moment—it communicates peace, reverence, and serenity in a way that lingers long after the gaze shifts.

This image isn't just about the place—it's about the emotional connection and inspiration that resonate within it.

While exploring the stunning trails of Sedona, Arizona, I captured this scene where nature’s raw beauty unfolds in perfect harmony. This image reveals a timeless dance between earth and sky, where a solitary tree stands proudly amidst the rugged desert terrain. Its twisted, weathered form—shaped by years of wind and weather—tells silent stories of resilience and grace, embodying the sculptural elegance only nature can create.

The vibrant green foliage contrasts against the earthy reds and browns of the rocky landscape, drawing the eye into a world where nature itself seems to marvel at its beauty. Above, wisps of cloud streak the bright blue sky, adding a fleeting touch to this eternal scene, as if the sky and earth are engaged in their own quiet symphony.

This moment was a powerful reminder of the harmony within nature’s chaos—a visual testament to the delicate balance we all seek in life.

**Veil of Peaceful Hues**

Step into a realm where reality and dream merge into one. This infrared creation reveals a serene Buddha, sitting with its back to the viewer, as if inviting you to follow it inward toward peace and reflection. Draped in robes that flow like liquid serenity, the statue rests in a landscape embraced by the whispers of autumn—a quiet sentinel of tranquility.

Above, the sky unfolds in a dance of colors, shifting from vibrant blues to soft whites, casting an ethereal glow over the scene. The interplay of light, foliage, and form creates a sanctuary of stillness, a place where the ordinary dissolves into the sacred.

This piece is more than just a photograph—it’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in a moment of reflection. The veil of peaceful hues is not only seen but felt, wrapping the soul in calm for anyone who dares to gaze beyond the surface.

✨ *Elevation of Timeless Symmetry* ✨

This infrared photograph weaves a tale where history and modernity merge into a monochromatic dreamscape, inviting you to explore the delicate dance between past and future. At the heart of the scene stands a dignified historical building, its steeple reaching skyward with solemn reverence, whispering secrets of bygone eras. Behind it, a towering modern structure rises like a guardian of progress, harmonizing lines and forms that bridge time itself.

The sky above, alive with textured clouds, casts shifting shadows that breathe life into the monochrome palette, transforming the familiar into the fantastical. This surreal interplay between old and new, tradition and innovation, blurs the boundaries of time—beckoning us to linger, ponder, and lose ourselves in contemplation of what was, what is, and what might yet be.

Infrared photography turns moments like these into portals, where the tangible meets the ethereal, and every glance reveals a new layer of mystery.

✨ *Reflections of a Rain-Kissed Road* ✨

Captured in a moment suspended between reality and reverie, this photograph draws you into a world where nature whispers the secrets of passing seasons. A winding road, freshly anointed by rain, gracefully leads the eye into the misty unknown, flanked by autumn's tender hues of yellows and oranges. 🍂 The glistening pavement mirrors the subdued light of a hidden sun, contrasting beautifully with the rugged textures of earth and foliage.

Towering cliffs rise in the background like silent sentinels, guarding the way with their ancient, weathered faces. The interplay of vivid colors and muted greens evokes a quiet nostalgia, as if memories linger just beyond reach, waiting to be discovered with each step down this serene path.

This scene is more than a landscape—it’s an invitation to journey into a dreamscape where reflections and light tell hidden stories. 🌧️✨ It’s a reminder of the beauty found in fleeting moments and the magic within the familiar. Step into this rain-kissed world, and let your soul wander down the road of mystery and tranquility.

Captured at the stunning Church of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona, this infrared black-and-white photograph, titled *Sacred Lines in Rocky Silence*, reflects the harmony between earth and spirit. The sharp, angular architecture of the church rises against Sedona’s ancient cliffs, standing as a silent sentinel beneath the vast sky.

In this scene, light and shadow engage in an ethereal dance, revealing subtle nuances that connect human design with nature’s raw beauty. I’m drawn to the contrasts—the intentional precision of the church alongside the rugged textures of the rocks, both timeless and fleeting. This photograph invites quiet contemplation, uncovering the sacred lines where stone, sky, and spirit meet.

"Monumental Shadows in Time" captures the timeless beauty of the San Francisco de Asís Catholic Mission Church in Taos, New Mexico. This black-and-white photograph highlights the adobe structure’s smooth, curving walls, where light and shadow form a living canvas of history. Inspired by Ansel Adams’ iconic portrayal, this series holds deep personal meaning, blending admiration with the thrill of crafting my own perspective on this architectural masterpiece. Discover its enduring story.

While Tracey and I were strolling around the Santa Fe Plaza, something immediately caught my eye—a street clock that stood out like an old pocket watch against the historical backdrop. Since I love capturing town clocks, this one was a must. In this black-and-white photograph, the clock stands proudly on a cobblestone sidewalk, its round face and ornate post radiating an antique charm. 

Behind this timeless sentinel, a striking contrast unfolds. The smooth curves and stucco facade of an adobe-style building, embodying the quintessential Southwestern architecture, stand in stark contrast to the elegant clock. Light and shadow play across the building's surface, weaving a tapestry of contrast and texture, highlighting both the adobe's organic feel and the clock's elegance. 

This photograph becomes a journey into the past through the monochrome lens—a harmony of history and modernity. Each shadow, each glint of light, seems to whisper a story from long ago, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the passage of time. The blend of the ageless clock and graceful architecture captures a timeless and nostalgic moment, leaving a lasting impression of Santa Fe's unique beauty.

**Ethereal Tension**
Step into a realm where nature’s dichotomy is unveiled in haunting elegance. This photo captures a dance between shadow and light. Rugged, shadowed mountains rise with textured mystery, while fluffy clouds float above, creating a striking contrast. The intense black sky deepens the visual tension, balancing the grounded and the celestial. A composition that invites introspection, revealing the balance between the tangible and the ethereal—a scene brimming with enchantment.

Contrasts in Woodland Quiet - captures the serene beauty of a birch forest. Slender trunks, textured bark, and delicate branches create a sense of mystery and grace. A shallow depth of field draws focus to the trees, inviting harmony and pause within nature’s whispers.

Which of these three is your favorite version? Tracey and I had to make a quick run to the post office tonight, and the sunset coming back was amazing. We found this small church in San Cristobal, NM. Which is your favorite: 1—the more open one, 2—the one with the barbwire, or 3—the one with more grass? #sunset #sunsetphotography #rurallife #smalltownchurch

I don't often do high-key photography, but I really liked how this one turned out. Nestled in the scenic landscapes of Custer, South Dakota, Custer State Park and Bismarck Lake served as the perfect backdrop for some unforgettable moments. 

With towering trees, majestic wildlife, and tranquil waters, the natural beauty enveloped us and inspired some creative shots. As we ventured through the park, we captured four distinct images that showcase the serenity and splendor of this breathtaking region. 

Sometimes, stepping out of your comfort zone in photography reveals something special. 🌲✨
