Dark Cloud and Abandoned House


This abandoned house in southwestern Colorado was not by itself remarkable, but the early morning sun and looming storm gave it new life.
I see two ways of interpreting this image. My first instinct is that the storm is leaving and that the light is bring new hope and possibilities, but that might be based on my actual experience of being there, more then the photo. The second is of two forms of destruction. The house is abandoned and no longer cared for and the dark clouds of the storm just add to the feeling of loss of hope and love.
I'd love to know what you think. How it makes you feel?

Clearance Sale - Select Fine Art Photographs on Sale for a Limited Time

I really try not to have sales of my work, but I've found that I have over ordered some prints and thought I would offer these prints at a special price. With the holidays coming up and everyone looking for deal this seemed like a great time to clear inventory.



So if your looking for something for your mother or wife, I have some beautiful flowers on sale, maybe even her favorite flower. Or for him maybe a classic Route 66 photo, or beautiful landscape.



The sale is in both my LJDesignPhoto Fine Art Photography Etsy Shop and my LJDesignPhoto Fine Art Photography 1000 Markets Shop. Check out both shops, because they both have different images and sizes listed. All prints on sale have SALE in the titles and are limited to items in stock, so once they are gone they are gone.

The sale end when inventory sells out or on November 14, 2009, which ever comes first.

A Morning of Autumn Now Available


A Beautiful Autumn Scene Now Available in my LJDesignphoto 1000 Markets shop. This beautiful photo was taken on my most recent trip to Utah. The first night of the trip was spent in Southwestern Colorado and an abandoned house caught my eye. We had gotten up early and with the morning sun and mix of storm clouds the lighting was perfect. While I really like the photos of the house, I love this photo. I hope you love it too.

Just trying out a little HDR Photography

I've been wanting to try this new digital photography tool out for a while, but I really haven't had much time lately to sit down and figure it out. I also wasn't sure it was a good fit for me. So many of the images I see are beyond reality and I like my photos to capture the true beauty I see around me. There are times I go farther with images into more of a digital art, and there is nothing wrong with that, but I wanted to use it for the right reason for me and my work/art. I've also found that I still have a lot to learn about it (which is fine, because I try to learn something new each day) and can't wait to have more time to take it farther.


This abandon house caught my eye as we were driving out of our Forest campground in Southwestern Colorado. The morning light was beautiful and abandoned buildings are one of my favorite subjects. Just meant to be. My husband pulled the RV over and let me out, but then got concerned when it was 15 minutes later before I got back. Oh, but the photos were worth it and I would have stayed longer if I was alone.

This is Hamburger Rock Campground in Southern Utah. This place is BLM and beautiful. It is just outside of the Needles area of Canyonland National Park. The campground is fairly primitive and the road in a little rough, but it was so worth it. This is a view from on top of the rock looking down at our campsite.

These were taken from our campsite, it was a beautiful sunset.



Hope you have enjoyed!
