San Antonio, Texas. The Missions.

Just outside LAX.

So I realized that I never posted photos from my trip last year. Here they are…

That was the medium format film. Digital pictures on the way…

Opus 40 created by a single man.

The work is an immense composition of finely fitted stone, rising in ramps and swirling terraces around pools and trees and fountains out of the rock bed of an abandoned bluestone quarry. It spreads out over more than six acres.

It is the product of more than thirty-seven years of a man’s life. His name was Harvey Fite. He worked alone, using his hands and traditional quarryman’s tools, to build his masterpiece: Opus 40.

I went to California last month for a friend’s wedding and took a few extra days to go camping in Big Sur. Result: epic pictures.

A couple of weekends ago I was in Las Vegas for a shoot. We had a handful of free time so we drove around downtown Vegas in search of some fun and cool things to photograph. I’m really attracted to the old style signs and lettering. This may become a new off-shoot of my “landscape” photography.
