Moonscapes: Night as Day
Digital photography becomes something more when it captures what the eye alone cannot see. Spirit Mountain & Grapevine Petroglyphs capture this moment of Full Moon light.
The result is a world suspended between realities:
night that appears as day—yet still remembers the stars.
These Moonscapes capture ancient petroglyphs under lunar light—where human history meets deep time.
The full moon reveals texture in the stone, bringing forward markings that have endured for centuries, while the night sky holds its quiet witness above.
A Moonscapes photo focuses on—long-exposure time taken under a full moon. Through repeated exposure experimental times, the landscape become illuminated so completely that night transforms into something resembling daylight, while still revealing the presence of stars.
Below is the landscape that burns with color at dusk before surrendering to the cooler, luminous tones of night. Together, these images form a passage—into fiery Full Moon Rise.
El Dorado
Below is an old Chrysler classic photographed and developed as an HDR piece in the digital darkroom.
Below is the Gas Station in photographic town of El Dorado, NV. And again processed as an HDR photo then masked with a blur becoming miniaturized.
Reaching such remote places like Davis Canyon in Utah, then capturing its moment from another time.
Digital Fine Art & Photography
The Red Rocks Art Studio also produces unique digital photography, working with models in constructed environments.
Costumes, jewelry, and visual elements are created in-house—extending the studio’s practice beyond documentation into fully realized visual narratives.
Staged on an old train car, using a longer exposure in black and white mode at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado.
The model and I chose a used wedding dress for what was intended from the beginning to be a slightly twisted version of the photographic phenomenon known as a “Trash the Dress” shoot. Working aboard the historic railcar and out on the tracks, the focus and movement transformed the premise into something considerably more ghostly and surreal.
Photography, like all the work here, is about revealing what is already present—
waiting for the right light, the right moment, and the willingness to see it.
