I haven't been here in a long, long time, so I thought I would stop by and say hello to anyone who might remember me and to everyone else also.

I am glad to see the large number of posts here, and have to say I am impressed with the overall quality of work I see. There is a lot of fine images being shown and all of you should feel a great sense of pride in what you are doing in your own work, and with helping others grow in their art.

I am currenty living in the desert in Southern California. For the past six months I have been learning about the environment here while exploring the region and working on a series of images called A Desert Soujourn. My plan is to sell a limited edition series of signed and numbered prints along with a collection of notecards and small duplications of the main images. This coming week I will begin the process of marketing them and if our creator is willing I will make enough to go onto the my next project.

The images I am posting below are not part of the series I am just finishing. They are from my first trip to the Imperial Dunes a few weeks back. I have been trying to squeeze in another morning to get back there, but haven't managed to yet.

I hope you enjoy them, and I appreciate any constructive criticism.

Every day I wake up and want to see the world as I did when I was a child. Some days it really works.

Hi, and yes, I remember you good to hear/see you in here again. Stunning work and of the three I would purchase the second. The light, colour, shadow, texture and composition is spot on! For the other two as well but it is number two that hits me between the eyes.

Hi Alpha! I was just thinking about you the other day and the way you lit and photographed some grapes that you posted in the forum a few years ago and I was going to do the same with some raspberries. #1 Nice #2 Is just amazing #3 Shame that you have lens flare in the bottom left of photo, as I like the way the diagonals lines lead to the middle of the photo Glad you dropped in

Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

NOOOOOOO WAY!!! How god damn COOL (or hot rather) are these!!! WOOOOOW!!! If these cant sell, no shots can. Most impressive work indeed. HIYA BY THE WAY!!! #:O) ...Andreas

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Welcome back and wonderful to see this amazing work. The second is my favorite of the 3, echoing the sensuous curves of the human body. I hope to see some more and wish you all the best of luck selling your series. The quote with your 3rd photo is terrific! =]

Deserts are always special when it comes to photography. Like visiting another planet. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely gorgeous shots!!! I'm still quite new, since I've maybe been here a month, but I doubt it's even been that long, but it's great to meet you! :-)

Glad to meet you. Your desert project must be a good one to work. If the results are something like the images here it should be a real winner.
