The Open Plains of NM in Black and White (7/2019)

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 […]

Lessons learned…

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 […]

A Weekend of the Monsoon (ABQ Shots)

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 […]

A Pretty Start to Monsoon Season (July 5-6, 2019)

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 […]

That Sunset Though…

Last night as outflow from storms in eastern New Mexico raced west — we saw dry showers and thunderstorms try to develop over the city of Albuquerque. Eventually, the lower atmosphere wet enough and we had some light rain in parts of the metro. But weather wise, yesterday was just a run of the mill […]

Variable Adventures of the Week

I had a lot of different experiences this past week, many of them revolved around cool hikes or monsoon activity in New Mexico. Here’s some pics from this past week.

Monsoon Shoot, Day 1 (June 22, 2019)

Back in November, I visited northwest New Mexico and thought immediately I had to absolutely return to shoot in the summer. I didn’t know it, but that was exactly where my first full purposeful day of monsoon shooting in 2019 would lead me. The San Juan Basin is generally wide open with incredible rock formations […]

Supercell Thunderstorm W of Roswell! (June 1, 2019)

Yesterday I had an encounter with a supercell thunderstorm in SE New Mexico west of Roswell. This Supercell formed in a pretty meager environment, but it really got its act together as it moved out onto the Plains. A left-split interacted with this supercell, resulting in a short-term favorable storm interaction and a possible tornado. […]
