Of course I wanted to cast a vote for all of them, but I did manage to limit myself to a reasonable number -- which turned out to be 5 :) The final two I voted for, though, I would really be excited to see a slightly different touch applied. On the Saguaro cactus, it may make for an interesting vertical landscape. And on the Finishing Post, I would love to see a second panaroma with even more horses filling the frame. But definitely this was a tough vote since there's so many great shots to choose from :)

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.

These make fantastic graphic tees, travel mugs, or stickers for your own "Fa...

Step Into an Alien Landscape: The Huntington Library Desert Garden

Huntington Library Desert Garden — Golden Barrel Cactus Landscape There are gardens that feel gentle and manicured, and then there are gardens that feel like you've stepped onto another planet. The Desert Garden at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, is decidedly the latter. Spanning more than ten acres and home to over 5,000 species of cacti and succulents, it's one of the oldest and largest collections of mature desert plants in the world — and walking through it is an exercise in awe. Capturing the Drama The sheer density of life there is overwhelming. It's not just a few potted succulents — it's a towering, sprawling landscape of architectural shapes and incredibly sharp textures. In taking this photograph, I wanted to capture that sense of dramatic scale. My eye was immediately drawn to the massive clusters of Golden...

Book Recommendation for Digital SLR Cameras

Note: This post was originally published in 2011, when digital SLRs were still relatively new for most amateur photographers and the question of how to learn them was genuinely fresh. The book recommendation below dates from that era. The post is preserved here as a record of a small, lovely coincidence — two friends asking the same question in the same week. Mallard duck. Photo by Chantal Manseau, taken at her local lake with her new digital SLR. An interesting coincidence happened this weekend: two friends had recently upgraded to digital SLR cameras, and both asked me — within days of each other — for recommendations on books or resources for learning how to use the features on their new cameras. Chantal's Email My friend Chantal emailed me first: I wanted to ask you about photography... How did you learn? Do you have a good book to recommend? I'm reading through the camera's manual...
