Hiking Palo Duro Canyon State Park


I apologize for being so quiet lately but I’m neck deep in the final edits for my new book “Landscapes of the Texas Plains and Canyons” which will (hopefully) definitely be available before Christmas.



Here’s another image taken with my Canon PowerShot G10 a few weeks ago and finished in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3. For a landscape photographer, hiking through Palo Duro Canyon State Park is a bit like driving in Houston’s rush hour traffic (without the guns). Stop-Shoot-Start. Stop-Shoot-Start. Stop-Shoot-Start.



There are way too many photographic opportunities to choose from and not nearly enough time before sunset. I guess that why many Texas photographers return to the canyons year after year!

That Highway 207 Glide


Someday I’m gonna get myself killed taking a photograph from a spot like this, but I just can’t resist shooting down a long stretch of winding road. Those converging lines are mesmerizing and just seem to grab me by the arm and drag me out of my car and into the middle of the road.



It’s also fun to see the look on Jack’s face when I ask him to “watch my back for any large trucks coming around the corner”. I can almost hear his thoughts. “Oh shoot! I should have gotten the car keys from him before he set up that stupid tripod. Gonna be a damn long walk back to the hotel.”
