I personally love this one!!! This is a hand built piece from a shot of some moss at Zion National Park in Utah. Once all the pieces were in place I adjusted the coloring to make the design the way it is now.

Another shot from Morocco – I do have photos from other places and will get around to uploading eventualy :) Marrakech, Morocco (December 2007)

back in the day, it seemed like everyone had a father, uncle or grandfather that had a car like this…you would be swallowed up by the back seat, taking trips to exotic locations that, while we always muttered “are we there yet,” would one day wish we could go back in time to savor every one of those lost moments…

I hardly ever donate to anything but this got my credit card out today. if you feel so inclined please do the same. The burmese government not only didn’t warn their people or evacuate them from the path of the cyclone, but they’re slowing down (and possibly squandering) international aid flowing into the country. The burmese monks, local heroes that they are, are organising at a grassroots level and here is where you can send them something to help. The email Avaaz sent me follows. Or go straight to the donation page. If the link doesn’t work, paste this into your browser: / https://secure.avaaz.org/en/burma_cyclone/50.php Dear friends, Staggering new estimates suggest that 100,000 people may have died in Burma’s terrible cyclone. Incredibly, the corrupt and brutal Burmese government has stopped most international aid at the borders and is impeding the relief effort. In under 24 hours, Avaaz members have donated over 690,000 Euros (over US$1 million – more than many governments!) to help Burma’s monks provide the emergency relief, through their own networks and monasteries, that the government will not. Scroll down to see the email sent yesterday with all the details of how we can help, or click below to help us get over 1 million Euros (US$1.54m) today: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/burma_cyclone/15.php / ___________ Dear friends, In the wake of a massive cyclone, a shocking 100,000 Burmese may be dead. More are missing. A million are homeless. But what’s happening in Burma is not just a natural disaster—it’s also a catastrophe of bad leadership. Burma’s brutal and corrupt military junta failed to warn the people, failed to evacuate any areas, and suppressed freedom of communication so that Burmese people didn’t know the storm was coming when the rest of the world did. Now the government is failing to respond to the disaster and obstructing international aid organizations. Humanitarian relief is urgently needed, but Burma’s government could easily delay, divert or misuse any aid. Yesterday the International Burmese Monks Organization, including many leaders of the democracy protests last fall, launched a new effort to provide relief through Burma’s powerful grass roots network of monasteries—the most trusted institutions in the country and currently the only source of housing and support in many devastated communities. Click below to help the Burmese people with a donation and see a video appeal to Avaaz from a leader of the monks: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/burma_cyclone/15.php Giving to the monks is a smart, fast way to get aid directly to Burma’s people. Governments and international aid organizations are important, but face challenges-they may not be allowed into Burma, or they may be forced to provide aid according to the junta’s rules. And most will have to spend large amounts of money just setting up operations in the country. The monks are already on the front lines of the aid effort-housing, feeding, and supporting the victims of the cyclone since the day it struck. The International Burmese Monks Organization will send money directly to each monastery through their own networks, bypassing regime controls. Last year, more than 800,000 of us around the world stood with the Burmese people as they rose up against the military dictatorship. The government lost no time then in dispatching its armies to ruthlessly crush the non-violent democracy movement—but now, as tens of thousands die, the junta’s response is slow and threatens to divert precious aid into the corrupt regime’s pockets. The monks are unlikely to receive aid from governments or large humanitarian organizations, but they have a stronger presence and trust among the Burmese people than both. If we all chip in a little bit, we can help them to make a big difference.

This photo was taken on top of the Hoover Dam (Nevada/Arizona border, USA) looking out towards the Bypass Project at Black Canyon. Hoover Dam Bypass refers to the construction of the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge and connecting roads for a new route across the Colorado River for U.S. Route 93. The project links the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona by spanning the Colorado River 1,500 feet downstream from the Hoover Dam. The entire project is expected to be completed by September 2009.[1] Its cost has been estimated to be about $240 million. The bridge and the new sections of U.S. Highway 93 will be four lanes wide. Total length of the bridge is 1,900 feet (579 m) with a 1,080-foot (329 m) main span. The roadway will be 840 feet (256 m) above the river. When completed, it will be the first concrete-steel composite arch bridge built in the United States.

classic chevy spotted on route 66 on my way out of tulsa…

classic cars along old route 66 are a familiar sight…there is nothing like hitting the open road on a quest to go back in time, and there is no better way than driving the cars of a past generation to truly get there…of course they didn’t have all the modern conveniences of the cars of today, but then, that would take some of the fun out of it, wouldn’t it…
-
traveling historic route 66 is a great experience…here cars from the fifties are a frequent sight…they stick out like a neon sign in the dark night along a lonely stretch of road…you have to stop, get out and take a closer look…they are a part of the past that intrigues us, temps us and makes our thoughts wander to days long gone…

Outside of Bloomingdale, Indiana, this old farm house appears as though time and the road has passed it by.

I took a retro approach on this. It is naturally, a macro shot of a Dandelion. This is a continuation from a 09/29/08 shoot. The look is a multi film process simulation of bleach bypassing, three stripping, and overlaying. The name: It is getting very cold in Ohio, and this was the only Dandelion I saw. It must have been a late bloomer, so I thought about the struggle it would have had, in lower light, to create enough energy to survive.

just outside of amarillo, tx, lies “cadillac ranch,” an ode to the highway culture…stanley march III commissioned this sculptural work which sits quite a distance off old route 66, out in one of his fields…as you can see, bringing a can of spray paint and leaving your mark is encouraged…

spotted this classic along old route 66 in eastern oklahoma in the parking lot of waylan’s ku ku (a classic hamburger joint) located just outside miami (pronounced “my am ah”)...check out http://www.visitmiamiok.com/ for more about this great stop along the historic route

seligman, arizona is a must stop on one of the best existing stretches of old route 66…far from the interstate, you can get the best look and feel for what travelers in the early days must have encountered…from the look of things, this truck has traveled more than just a few local back roads…
-
route 66 has many unusual attractions…”here it is,” located at jack rabbit junction in arizona, is one such place…signs once littered the length of the old route that simply said, “here it is” with an illustration of a rabbit and an indication of how far you would have to travel down the road, to discover what “here it is” is…there may be fewer signs today, but “here it is” is still trying to lure passerbys to stop in and see what it’s all about…
