Sonoran Desert Sunrise Pt 2. 180 degrees from the last shot.

Sonoran Desert Sunrise

Has he never heard the term “going postal?”

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

An oasis in the desert... what I would give for this feeling of relief in our world right now...

Um, yeah… I think I’m done flying til we can go a good while without a plane crash again.

I have no idea if this is the final edit, but this was the coolest thing to witness in Sedona. There was a little fog when I arrived, but it moved in & blanketed the entire area super quickly, just as it felt like the sunrise was really about to pop.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

When we took our mini vacation to Theodore Roosevelt National Park this summer, the ranger at the gate volunteered her favorite spots in the park for sunrise and sunset. I don’t know is she saw my photography equipment, or whether she gives that info to everyone who comes through.

As I keep making my way through the AZ photos, I'm finding myself drawn to the darker images that I made on the cloudy/rainy/snowy/foggy days of the trip. For this one, the late day sun kept trying to break out and for a few brief seconds it lit up the peak in the background in gold & I got lucky.

Happy Flag Day to all you Canadians! We hate him too.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Happy 113th birthday, AZ I needed to kill some time before heading to the airport so I looked up breweries nearby. There were several, but Arizona Wilderness Brewing stuck out to me as I was looking them up.

New edit/old shot: There is a flood of negativity out there if you're paying any attention to what's going on in the world. A reminder that there is a lot of beauty and love out there as well. Please take breaks as needed to take care of yourself. This is as much a reminder to myself as anything.

Yep, it's bad, but we knew it was going to be bad. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. Step back and take a deep breath and do what you can do. That might involve putting down your device and clearing your head. Don't get caught up in the online spiral of doom.

Dear Canada: you own a bunch of our debt. Might as well call & tell him to pay up or sell it to China.

Next Thursday come down to the Icehouse in MPLS for Satsang solo acoustic! I’ll be there, you should too. If you’re unfamiliar, here’s a solo session from awhile back: youtu.be/5kFsveO4zNI?...

Snow in the higher elevations of AZ really made for some cool shots, like this one along a hiking trail near Payson.

The leader we need right now. Too bad he isn't ours.

Yelling "what the fuck" after getting suckerpunched in the back of the head

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

They told me that desert sunsets hit different. Now I have the images to prove it. #LandscapePhotography #Arizona

Arizona 2025 The thought behind the intentional motion was make the photo feel disorienting. The black and white seemed to accent that feeling of being in a beautiful place while the firehose of "news" and information is turned up to maximum. It's exactly what those doing it intend.
