Um wow. Hi. This is nuts but exactly one year ago today is the day I made the post below and came out to the world as trans. https://mobile.twitter.com/RaychelSnr/status/1027188755583721473 I made that post with complete fear, not knowing what was going to happen next. If I knew what I know now I wouldn’t have hesitated […]
It’s never been a typical occurence for me to not be feeling well at the same time storms are happening. As with most people, the spring and summer months are a time when I’m not usually dealing with sickness in any way and that means I’m usually feeling great unless I’m just incredibly fatigued from […]
Wow! Some weekends just stand apart from the others when it comes to a successful outing with the camera. This past weekend was no different as I scored numerous bolts and really amazing scenes. I’ve got too much material to pour through and honestly, the volume is beginning to get to me in a daunting […]
Let’s keep this one quick and simple: there’s been a pretty fruitful period of lightning in the region! I’ve had a few good days in a row in New Mexico and I’m gearing up for yet another today. As I wrote in “Lessons Learned” I have been learning A LOT about this pattern and how […]
Everyone who knows me knows I love black and white photography. I’ll also admit to the tropes that a lot of the greats like Ansel Adams have inspired my photography and style. I know, soooooo cliche. But it is true. On my camera, the C2 custom function button is set to a monochrome live view […]
The monsoon has been a joy to photograph thus far this year, and my running joke continues to be that I will continue to mess up a lot this summer. While I had previous years where I spent a week or so in the southwest pursuing monsoon storms, this remains a new pattern for me […]
Well we’re in the thick of it now aren’t we? This weekend I spent quite a bit of time on the road pursuing monsoon storms across the state. I had some limited success getting some bolts Saturday but less so today. It’s hard to believe that the season is really only just beginning as I’ve […]
I wrote on Twitter earlier this week that I’d just really like to be pinched because the skies of New Mexico during the summer really are unbelievable. Finally, as we moved into July I got a chance to hit the road and do some photography of monsoon storms around the state. There’s still A LOT […]
To celebrate Independence Day, myself and Sara decided to go to the Jemez/Valles Caldera area in New Mexico to get a hike in. We hiked this trail back in the winter when it was completely snow packed, and we both wanted to come back in the summer to see how it compared. Pro tip: hiking […]
