We love it when it rains in Death Valley. So Powerful. Of course, the hotel front desk apologizes when we leave for the day that it is raining and not sunny. We prefer this!

Been too long since I posted, huh? And so much more to share. We did a quick drive to the cliff above Blind Beach and I had a ball shooting down to those frolicking in the sand and surf. This was taken in late December a few days before King Tide, but sometimes low tide can be even more interesting.

In this image I was determined to capture a dramatic and disturbing rendition of the adult nightlife of Soi Cowboy in Bangkok, a short street with go-go bars and 'ladyboys.' I experimented with color grading in Capture One, choosing highlight and shadow tones of mint green and midtones of scarlet pink, hoping to create a Moulin-Rouge Toulouse-Lautrec bizarre unsettling feeling. I am satisfied with the disconcerting result, especially on the main character's face. Your comments are welcomed, good or bad. I did this image for a reaction. If neutral, I failed!
