Never really thought of Lake Lowell as to photogenic. These ware taken after the Celebration of Chris McClaskey's last flight. Smokey skies at dusk. Add in interesting Duck wakes and you may have the 1st image of the 2014 Idaho Calendar.

2013 Idaho Calendar!
OK, here is the info on the KickStarter project for the 2013 Idaho Calendar!What's a Kick Starter Campaign? It is "crowdfunding", doesn't help? Crowdfunding is a combination of the old "ask everyone you know" way of creating a project and the internet. Using an independent 3rd party to collect and distribute the funds gives projects more reach and respect. Click on the Basque wagon pic to take a look at my video and feel free to comment, ask questions, or become a supporter. I am going to make a killer calendar(many of the shots have already been featured here.)
Idaho
This one pic, says so much about why I love it here in the Gem state!
Tech specs.-Iphone, lightroom and Pixel Bender.
Bridge-Photo Friday
Is this one calendar worthy?
Yosemite-Photo Friday
I am headed to Yosemite in a October to learn from Keith Walklett and Mike Osborne. Thought I would take a look at the images I got the 1st time. This one is a favorite. Think I will also use in a collaborative piece I am working on for the 1st Thursday show with Jerry Hendershot. The water and texture of this one should work well/

coffee dream-photo friday
Taken on an early morning coffee run with Lissa in Minneapolis. Techicacall I Slowed the shutter speed which alows the beans to blur and creates the feeling of movement. Selective blurring and darkening at the edges give this a dreamy early morning feel.
Hay Wagon-Photo Friday
Headed to the Clearwater Club? "Might as Well!"
Red sky at night
Taken Tuesday July 10th, a sleepy Snake river slowly flows below the Guffey Bridge at Celebration Park. As the sun sets the smokey landscape erupts in red, umbers, and a subtle undertone of blue. With wild fires throughout Idaho's high desert, I drove from Boise looking for a place that would reflect the mood of a smoke fill sunset. Think I got it!
Technically this is a very straight image. Slight tweaking in Photoshop, including a vignette and a minor color shift to reflect the actual redness of the sky. Also nudged out the powerlines.
Street Shooter-Photo Friday
Way back in the olden times, I made many photos of signs. Here is one the old Street Shooter Style!
Matador Rose
Poppy in three-Photo Friday
This spring was a good one for the Poppy's at the depot. Taken in June, above the pond. Just a touch of Photo Impressionism to bring up the color.
Chicken Jim's-Photo Friday
The clouds have been glorious this early summer. Wednesday afternoon found me standing in the road looking at "Rudy" the retro plastic Chicken above Jim's cafe on Hays. Across from the Co-op, not the coop. Taken with my telephoto to bring up he clouds and then placed 4-up and printed on galvanized steel using the Metaluxia™ process.
It will be on display this weekend. 12x12 on a simple wood frame. $125/sign & numbered.
Home alone
High on the southern Oregon Desert, this old home sits waiting for the kids to come back home.
Jump Creek-Photo Friday
The creek that creates Jump Creek Falls, rolls into a tight canyon that reminds me Moab. Taken a couple of weeks ago, the glory of a Owyhee canyon lands shows.
The tech stuff, a couple of Topaz filter tweeks, some shading and a tablet applied PhotoShop Pixel Bender layer. Oh, and a little dodging in the shadows deep in the canyon.
May try this one as a trypdytch.
