After an early morning photowalk around town and a nice breakfast with Momma, I pulled out of Marfa around 9am and drove north to Balmorhea (and the wildly underwhelming Balmorhea State Park, with its artesian spring-fed swimming pool that was ‘closed until further notice’ and RV-friendly campsites), then back south through Fort Davis and the …

365.102 Easter Morning in Marfa
I would likely have something more interesting than what is pretty much nothing more than a lens flare test shot to share, but I spent the day touring the Chinati Foundation, and after a whole day of minimalist art, and after a whole day spent running on minimalist sleep, not to mention the it’s-my-birthday-so-I’m-doing-some-self-criticism-and-have-lots-to-criticize, I’m …
365.101 Somewhere North of Alpine, TX
Well, I spent the day driving to Marfa, TX, with momma where we’ll spend the next 4 days wandering and shooting around town and various parts of The Big Bend. It had just finished raining—a decidedly rare event for this part of the country, where average yearly rainfall is in the 5″ range—and the windshield …
365.100 Self-Portrait in Macro Mode
In my packing excitement, I almost forgot about shooting a 365! Silly me! So out came the Zomb-E Series and I set something up that I tried a few times but was previously unsuccessful at… I shot the my reflection, macro, in the front element(s) of an old mamiya/sekor 50mm f/2 (mounted on the sadly-destroyed-due-to-battery-acid-long-before-I-acquired-it-but-still-functional-without-any-metering …
365.99 This Tree is not a Toy
Well, I know I promised to shoot only the Zomb-E this week, but after 4 days, I realized that it’s not a total loss, or even a partial loss, really. The Zomb-E remains a strong performer, and a lens that will remain in my collection (and in use) for many years. Plus, the two cheap …
365.98 Attack of the Zomb-E Series IV
Went on a bit of a Zomb-E walk today… thought I nailed the shot, but failed and the light was gone by the time I figured it out. Oh well. This one is a bit interesting, maybe, and it almost comes close to illustrating nicely the depth of field and distance relationship. D7000. Zomb-E Series. ISO800, 1/2500th …
365.97 Attack of the Zomb-E Series III
I had several ideas for a title for this one… a) the Trial; b) the Mob; c) When Zomb-E Series Attack; d) Attack of the Zomb-E Series III: the Reckoning; etc. But none of these felt right, so it just gets a generic title. Does this remind anyone else of a long-lost Tim Burton movie? …
