Often when I travel to a location I have some idea of what I will see and at least rough image concepts in mind. Recently, I traveled to Nevada to attend a trade show in Las Vegas. I was not expecting to have a lot of time to explore and create photographs. As a result I didn’t spend much time planning out a photographic safari. After I arrived in Vegas and had my schedule for the week, I realized I could probably squeeze in a couple of hours of photography each day. I photographed quite a few different subjects in the desert but somehow the multicolored rocks I found in the Valley of Fire State Park captured my imagination. Creating these fine art abstract images was especially exciting because I went with no preconceived ideas of what I was looking for.The light, the interesting rock formations and my whims were the guide.
Maybe having no creative plan can be a plan. I went into the desert with an open mind and heart and let whatever caught my eye begin the creative process. Over the next few weeks I will share a number of the images I created on this trip. This is the first one.

I spent several mornings this summer photographing in a field of sunflowers. I arrived at sunrise and wandered among them looking for different compositions. After spending an hour or so going for the obvious images, I would begin to seek out images that challenged my thinking and revealed aspects of the flowers that was a bit different.

I have mentioned before, I am drawn to photograph water lotus and water lilies flowers and leaves. In preparing some lotus images for a client I decided to do a little research on the water lotus and discovered some interesting facts:
The plant is an aquatic perennial. Under favorable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from that of seeds 1300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in northeastern China. It is often mistaken for a water lily. The lotus is a completely different plant unrelated to the water lily.
In has many uses for food. In Asian cultures the roots, leaves, and flowers are used in many recipes as garnishes, teas, medicines and soups, just to name a few.
From ancient times the lotus flower has been a divine symbol in many Asian traditions.
