On the way home

On the way home form the desert. This mirror needs to be cleaned.

I was balancing the camera on the window frame with one hand. Now I'm thinking about all those new interesting perspectives one could get by installing the camera on the car and doing long time exposures while driving through the night. I know there is all kinds of equipment out there to get a camera mounted onto a car. Filmmakers use stuff like that, right? Would that be too much over the top? Maybe I get something small to get me started. However, the thought of the camera falling off while driving is a real nightmare.

Salton Sea Lake

From last Sunday's trip into the desert. Arriving at this lake was a very weird experience. You will understand as I post more pictures.

After a longer break, I'm now starting to post prison portraits again. Soon I will have posted everything, and the series will be complete. As usual, here the link with more background information about the project.

Joshua Tree Park Rocks

I think the larger version is nicer to look at - just give it a click. This one is from last weekend, I can't wait to get back there to play in those amazing rocks.

The 7D is a great model - and Steffi too.
