Alamos, Sonora, Mexico

AlamosWell after a month of effort, here is the final gallery of "watercolor" photos from my trip to the state of Sonora, Mexico in December 2002. Working on these photos has brought back some very fond memories of the trip. It is an incredibly delightful town to visit, and as you can see from all these photos I have shared with you, there are many interesting sights to see.

As mentioned in a previous post, I currently have all the digital artworks in these galleries at 40% off my usual prices, and will leave them on discount until Sunday, September 13th. Keep in mind that if you order before midnight tomorrow (U.S. Pacific time), Imagekind is currently running a free shipping offer. (See this post for details). Also don't forget that anyone who purchases one or more prints of any of the works in the Alamos collection will receive a free DVD of all the videos associated with the series.

Young at Heart: The Active Seniors Collection + Massive Redbubble Sale!

Ollie Grandpa Stepping into the freedom of retirement after a long, 45-year career completely shifts your perspective. You finally have the time to let loose, hit the road, and truly embrace the fun side of life! That joyful, unrestrained energy is exactly what I wanted to capture in my newest Redbubble collection. I'm so excited to introduce my new " Active Seniors " series, featuring designs that perfectly embody the "young at heart" spirit. The series features a vibrant, adventurous little old lady tearing it up, and a matching active grandpa catching some serious air on a skateboard or cruising on a bright orange motor scooter. Complete with flower-adorned helmets, flying striped scarves, and big, beaming smiles, these characters are a tribute to everyone who refuses to slow down. These make fantastic graphic tees, travel mugs, or stickers for your own "Fa...

Finding Warmth in the Wild: A Western Gay Romance Story

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.

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...
