WEIRD NATURE PHOTOS

It can be really dangerous sometimes in the deserts of New Mexico. You can never be certain of what you might encounter. Snakes, scorpions, lizards and tarantulas are not so uncommon. But, every now and then you run across something that defies description. These are just a few of the creatures I've run into (or run from) while taking walks or on hikes in the deserts of New Mexico.

MYSTIC LANDSCAPES

The Mystic Landscapes images come from that feeling, that inkling, you get sometime that there just might be something hidden behind what our eyes can see. What looks like an old abandon building or a mountain range may also hold another dimension.

DAY OF THE DEAD, SACRED HEARTS AND SPIRITUAL DESIGNS

I grew up in an area where there is a lot of religious art. You can see it in the churches and the retablos. Many of the shops and art show and galleries feature religious works of art. I also spent some time in Russia where I saw some of the most beautiful churches and icon art I've ever seen. So when a gallery in the area had a Gods and Goddesses themed show I jumped at the chance to create some of my own icons. Which spun off to Sacred Hearts and the Day of the Dead.

RUST AND WOOD

Photos of rusty old farm equipment layered over photos of an old tree stump. All the photos for this series are filtered through this old piece of wood. I like how these images have an other worldly feel to them. Kind of like the Mystic Landscape designs.
