Here is a series of interpretations of the one photo I took on a trip to the State of Sonora, Mexico at Chirstmas time 2002.

While driving the toll road down the state early in the morning the sun was just coming up. The mountain in the foreground was beautifully silhouetted and the clouds were full of energy and drama. I had to stop the car and take a photo.

In this series I have made various interpretations of the photo ranging from startling color, through sepia, to black and white. I hope you find something that appeals to your taste.

Ollie Grandpa Stepping into the freedom of retirement after a long, 45-year career completely shifts your perspective.

Finding Warmth in the Wild: A Western Gay Romance Story

Posted
Gay Cowboys Reading Under the Mountain Sky There is a specific kind of silence out in the wilderness, far from city lights — a quiet that draws people together. With my latest digital artwork, "Under the Mountain Sky," I wanted to capture that feeling of finding your own private world in the middle of a vast landscape. A Story by Firelight This romantic image features a gay cowboy couple sharing a quiet evening, settling in against a tree to read by the light of a campfire. It's a simple moment, but it speaks volumes about comfort, safety, and deep affection. I focused heavily on the lighting contrast to tell this story. The warm, dancing oranges and yellows of the fire represent that safe, shared space of connection. Outside of that glow, the cool purples and deep blues of the twilight mountain range stretch out, emphasizing that all they need is right there in that circ...

Capturing Serenity: Dive into the Mystical World of the Pale Blue Iris

"Ethereal Iris" — the finished artwork. © John Corney The bearded iris is one of the most rewarding flowers to photograph, and one of the most difficult to photograph well . Its ruffled, almost impossibly intricate petals catch light beautifully — but they also sit in busy garden beds, surrounded by foliage and distractions that pull the eye away. This post is the story of one iris, and how it travelled from a quick phone snapshot to the finished artwork I've called Ethereal Iris . The Garden I Always Meant to Visit I first heard of Descanso Gardens many years ago, when it was featured on one of Huell Howser's shows on PBS . Like a lot of viewers, I watched, thought "what a lovely place — I really must go there someday," and then somehow never did. The years went by and Descanso stayed on the someday list. What finally got me there was my photography friend Denise, who sugge...
