Well, Liz flew all the way out her for her senior pictures. I had to get a cactus in the picture, and, of course, I strobed it. Photoshopped for illustrative effect.
Don't worry, I took some "normal" pictures too...
Strobist: Starting to set sun that she is looking at. Bare sunpack camera left. Would have been great with a beauty dish but Ray forgot to take it on the hike. Double sunpaks in front of the cactus to light it on full, one pointed up and the other straight. I cloned the lightstand out. You can see the shadow on the cactus.
Assistant: Raymond Prax, Mini Fab.
Location: South Mountain Park, Phoenix.

Strobist details: A Godox TT600 with a CTO gel to the left, in high-speed-sync mode so I could keep the aperture at f/2.8, triggered by the XProO in my hotshoe.
... on what I should do first. Lose weight or wash the bike.

I love voyaging forth into nature to contemplate poetry, physics, the golden ratio, and the Tao te Ching! What's your favorite epic poetry reflecting epic landscapes? I recently finished a book titled Epic Poetry for Epic Landscape Photographers:

Did you know that John Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson all loved epic poetry and poets including Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, and Robert Burns?
I recently finished my fourth book on Light Time Dimension Theory, much of which was inspired by an autumn trip to Zion!
www.facebook.com/lightimedimensiontheory/
Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

Wall-e ran across my rosary today and asked what it was for, and what was the meaning behind it. I tried to describe it to him the best way I could.
Taken at the Coastal Bay Myrtel Beach, South Carolina summer of July 2007.
Altogether now, altogether now
Lets go down to the beach today
And have a bloody war
Lets go down to the beach today
And play war games in the sand
Altogether now, altogether now
Lets go down to the beach today
And bloody all the sand
Lets go down to the beach today
Fire rockets in the air
Altogether now, altogether now
War is a whore, war is a whore
War is a whore, War is a Whore
Altogether now, altogether now
War is a whore, War is a whore
Lets go down to the beach today
Play in the bloody sand
Altogether now, War is a Whore
Altogether now, War is a whore

This is one of the best places I know to unwind and let the cares of the day wash away, especially at sunset when the warm sunlight makes the whole thing glow and the birds sing in the trees. It's also very good when you have man-flu(as I do at the moment) for clearing the head of snot. One of these images is considerably more romantic than the other, granted.
ODC - A nice place to sit.
Post-apocalyptic photo shoot with models - captured at an abandoned campground in Toms River, NJ.

A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.
