This is Lil Girl. She has a previously broken elbow/shoulder that without medical treatment healed improperly. She came into the shelter as a stray. The prognosis is excellent if we act quickly. At 3 months old she is having one of the biggest growth spurts of her young life. The Dr. says that even 5-10 extra pounds on the leg will render it useless and only amputateable not redeemable. It aint cheap! Probably about $1200. We have a scheduled surgery for her, next week (8-20-08) the Dr. said that if it’s doable, it should be done ASAP or she most likely w...
This is Johnny. Is BSL BS? by dedawgbrawd

He was adopted by a very nice breed savvy young man. BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) is a topic in the news yet again. At least here in Utah they don’t have that snarling Pit Bull icon to add fuel to the fire. BSL is a bit like that age old “which came first the chicken or the egg?” debate. No real answer. But do they work? Are breed bans effective? In England, the banning of bully or “bully type dogs” improved the breeding programs of other breeds. Doberman and Rottweiller breeders started temperament testing their lines and adv...

I’ve really no excuse for the time lag between my last blog and this one except that I’ve been a good boy and I’ve been spending time with my son who is home from college and doing a lot of shooting. As I’ve mentioned in previous blogs, digital photography has been a fantastic inspiration to me, and at this stage in most people’s lives, when ending work seems to take center stage (at least it has for many of my friends), digital photography has had the opposite effect on me. I can’t wait to get in the field and work. The added...

Welcome to the first of a continuing series of blogs on photography and the Canyonlands. I was flattered that the Times has asked me to be involved with the paper in this way, since the T-I has been a part of life for almost forty years. At that time long ago, I was an Iowa college student attending classes and playing in rock bands, but returning every night to a apartment covered with maps of Canyonlands and Arches on the walls and with a horde of backpacking and camera equipment in the closet. What a long, wonderful trip it’s been. Even as Moab gets busi...

I’m sorry for the delay since my last posting. As you can imagine, the last month has been prime time in the desert for image-making. Now that temperatures have soared, I’m back in my office for a few days. Twenty-six years ago I was hired to do a book on Canyonlands National Park. This was my first such assignment, and since I was barely 30 years old, I approached it with all the zeal I could muster, and it was a dream come true for me in the early stages of my career. In those day, the park was practically deserted, no one had ever done a book on Canyonland...

Four by five photography and the large image produced by that wonderful camera system has been been the guiding thread in my photo career. Most of my professional colleagues have used a 4×5, and I started with one in 1977. My files now contain 70,000 4×5’s from all fifty states and from about sixty countries. As early as eight years ago, I saw the writing on the wall and realized that to stay competitive, or even survive as a professional landscape photographer that I would have to start scanning my transparencies. At that time I purchased an Imacon...
Cataract high water by moab

We had known that the water would be high this Spring, but didn’t know when the peak would happen until just a few days ago. Looks like Saturday the 24th will be a big spike, with cold temperatures bringing the level back down into the terrible 50 through the week. Park Service boats and crew are underway with their catch and release program, plucking out swimmers as needed at The Big Drops. I’ll try to get some pics and video posted on Monday.

I just returned from India, a place that assaults the senses (not always in a good way), and is the most colorful place I’ve ever seen. Indians live and breathe color, and for a color photographer it’s quite a mother lode. This was also my first big trip anywhere without my 4×5 camera. I knew in advance that I would not be able to use a tripod (people always ask why tripods are not allowed in many sites around the world, and I have no idea), so I knew my only hope was the high ISO of my new Canon camera and my Image Stabilization lenses. Right off the ...
