It’s been 2 months!

I nearly forgot that I have a blog. Here’s a quick update of what I’ve been up to and what is going on.

I spent a good part of late winter and early spring writing the content for the upcoming iFotoGuide – Grand Canyon app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Look for this app to be released very soon. I’ll have more information here on AcrosstheSouthwest.net and on my Facebook Fan Page, as well as at www.iFotoGuide.com.

This past March I made another trip to the Grand Canyon to hand-deliver my print for their museum collection. This photo depicts sunrise over the canyon from Yaki Point on the South Rim. If you are visiting the park, please stop by Park Headquarters to see the photo on display. I also have an image being used at the Desert View Visitor’s Center in the near future.

In more local happenings, I had nearly a dozen images used in the 2010 Tourism Guide for the State of New Mexico…woohoo! I was also interviewed for an article about me and my photography which appeared in the Spring 2010 edition of  ‘Land & Home’.

If you are a photographer yourself, you’ll understand the desire to achieve the ultimate in image quality. This has lead me to (partially) switch to the dark side. That’s right…I’ve gone to Nikon. I recently purchased a Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens to use on my Canon EOS 5D Mark II via a 16-9.net adapter. I love this lens! It offers an amazing field-of-view, a bright viewfinder (nice when setting up in the dark), and it’s sharp. I look forward to offering a complete review after I get back from my next trip and complete my June workshop.

Did I mention workshops? There are still two spots left for the ‘Adobe & Light’ workshop on June 11th and 12th. Tuition is only $275.00. Checkout www.CanyonPhotoWorkshops.com for more information.

I’ve also kept busy lately leading several private workshops. I’ve had a blast working with clients from all over the United States as well as the world. Together we’ve photographed nearly every historic church in northern New Mexico and numerous locations along and above the Rio Grande.

Last but not least, I have a large print going to Washington D.C. where in a couple of weeks it will be presented to a dignitary for display in his office. I’ll share more information once the photo has been presented.

I apologize for the shameless self promotion, but I do it for my mom.
