Wildflowers at Dusk

2008-05-15T10:03:00.007-07:00

Though the sun had just disappeared beneath the horizon, a distant light suggests the sun has yet to set. Focusing on the wildflowers in the foreground helps to create this illusion. DLW - Click image to enlarge.

Madroño Machinations

2008-05-08T13:30:00.005-07:00

In this part of Oregon, finding Madrones is not as much a challenge as isolating them so that their personalities shine through. I came across this small cluster of Madrones in the mountains above Talent. DLW - Click image to enlarge.

Valley View Buds

After photographing "Valley View Buds" at Valley View Nursery near Ashland, temperatures took a few dramatic turns in SW Oregon, 80 degrees one day and snow the next, then back and forth. DLW-- Click image to enlarge.

Two Stamp Mill

2008-04-24T19:32:00.009-07:00

During the height of the gold rush in the mid-1800's, gold stamp mills were common. They smashed large pieces of rock, releasing the gold from the quartz. "Two Stamp Mill," said to be the only mill of its kind in the US, is located in Virginia City, Nevada. .. DLW - Click image to enlarge.

2008-04-17T15:33:00.012-07:00

I spent most of last week based in Reno, Nevada with my partner, Joan Franklin, who was attending a convention. "Virginia City Pin-ups" was taken in nearby Virginia City, a gold mining town at its height in the 1860's and now a tourist attraction. DLW - Click image to enlarge.

2008-03-26T10:38:00.016-07:00

"Fogged Mountainside" was taken along Tolman Creek Road above Ashland. Ever since moving to Oregon in October 2004, I've been mesmerized by the interplay of fog and mountains. DLW - Click image to enlarge.

Hyatt Lake Mirror

"Hyatt Lake Mirror" is this season's last image with snow, unless an irresistible storm suddenly develops. But, after a colder than usual winter in Southern Oregon, I welcome the thought of warmer days. DLW - Click image to enlarge.

Early Morning Calm

2008-02-28T17:25:00.012-08:00

This week's image may look familiar. It was first posted March 8, 2007 on The Winston Weekly. I'm very pleased to say that "Early Morning Calm," taken in Ashland, was recently published as a 24"x30" poster by Bruce McGaw Graphics and is available for purchase on my website. Click image to enlarge.

At this time of year, Ashlanders are often treated to panoramas of the Cascades interacting with unpredictable cloud patterns. Click image to enlarge.

Small Falls @ 1/15 second

2008-02-13T23:36:00.006-08:00

For many years I didn't photograph waterfalls. I simply didn't like to use tripods, even though the best images of falls I had seen were taken with tripods and very slow shutter speeds in order to capture the water as a smoothly flowing, often ethereal stream. Since moving to SW Oregon, where many falls surround us, I've come to realize the tripod is a great tool, especially when it comes to moving water. The waterfall images above and below were taken from the same vantage point, one taken at 1/4 second and the other at 1/15. I particularly like the frenetic quality of the water at 1/15 second (above). In a way its more painterly than the smoother rendition taken at 1/4 second (below). Click image to enlarge.

Full Circle

2008-02-07T09:41:00.000-08:00

During the rainy season at Emigrant Lake near Ashland, many rock formations are underwater. The lake works its magic during this time. When it recedes, new patterns, such as this delicate circle, emerge. This image was originally posted on Winston Unleashed April 14, 2007. Click image to enlarge.

Serene Mallard

This week I've posted two images from Ashland's Upper Duck Pond in Lithia Park. While the first image is calm and the second, animated, both were experiments using slower shutter speeds to help create a soft, almost impressionistic sense. Click image to enlarge.

Ethan's Pals

2008-01-23T22:02:00.000-08:00

This week's image, "Ethan's Pals" was taken several years ago on a Mennonite chicken farm near Adamstown, PA. At the time I was working on the photography for a series of chidren's books based on farm life. There are nine books in this series which was published by Lerner Publishing in Minneapolis between 1998 and 2004. Click image to enlarge.

Red Barn and Teazle

"Red Barn and Teazle" was taken in the same nature preserve as "Frosted Landscape," posted 12/23/06 on The Winston Weekly Blog. The angle is nearly the same, yet the feeling is quite different, an example of how weather affects what is seen and felt. Click image to enlarge.

Burro Buddies

2008-01-10T14:26:00.000-08:00

Having lived in Philadelphia and its suburbs for most of my life, I'm continually thrilled to see farms so close to home. These burros live one block from our house in Ashland. Since their arrival a few months ago, I get to see them almost every day. Click image to enlarge.

The Quiet of Winter

2008-01-03T12:20:00.000-08:00

In the Spring, Summer and Fall, this area of Emigrant Lake is bustling with tourists traveling in large motor homes and trailers. Closed for the winter, it takes on a quietude and spaciousness that I find appealing. Click image to enlarge.

Meandering water in the foreground is one of the first signs that the rainy season is taking hold on the dry bed of Emigrant Lake near Ashland. By late spring the Lake is usually full. Click image to enlarge.
