NEW GHOST RANCH IMAGES

I shot as much as I could this January while at Ghost Ranch. With four film cameras at my disposal, and the amazing environment at the ranch, I went through a bit of film. Click on one of the Ghost Ranch links or images to start browsing. Some of the highlights of this years photos are the heavy snows and the cattle drive (pictures of that are coming soon).

PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS AT GHOST RANCH, 2008

Friend and mentor, Kent Bowser, taught his thirteenth consecutive Jan term class this year at Ghost Ranch, and your favorite artist was the assistant this year, in 2008. The class can be taken for college credit, and we had eleven students this year, two of whom were non-college students. This years Jan term at Ghost Ranch was marked by record cold temperatures and freezing water pipes. Still the snow and cold couldn't keep the class from having a good time and making some great images. There was always snow and ice on the ground and both feature prominently in most all of the photos from this year...continued and more pictures

Kent Bowser continues to teach black and white landscape photography at famed Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu as he has for fifteen years now. Classes for 2008 are continuing, all at Ghost Ranch's upgraded and well maintained darkroom facilities. One of the more interesting sounding classes is called: Black and White Photography: A Celtic Perspective. For a calendar of Kent's classes in 2008, and more of Kent Bowser's photography see Bowser's updated guest pages. Kent also printed the William Parker Little images seen on this site.

 pedicab driver on the santa fe plazaMay, 2008, myself and some of the other drivers have been out on the pedicabs often these last few weeks of wind and warm weather. I've been driving a pedicab part time in Santa Fe to make extra money and stay in shape for my next big photography adventure - whatever that may be. Here is a new page that shows if am working today on the pedicab along with some pedicab FAQs. So come and take a ride with your favorite artist (ha ha) when you are in downtown Santa Fe.
