I think I posted this photo on the blog last October the day after I captured it - well this month it is on the cover of Fort Wayne Living!

Downtown Las Vegas.

We have also updated our website with many new Las Vegas photos.  This is now one of our largest sections. 

We have also updated our section of nearby Red Rock Canyon, and added a new section from a afternoon spent at Valley of Fire State Park - I really look forward to returning to this beautiful, colorful area.

Native rock art, Christmas Tree Pass (timely name), Lake Mead Recreation Area, Nevada.

Having wildflowers around just provides that many more composition possibilities, even for something like native American rock art. 

Neon Sign, Las Vegas, Nevada.

I spent one evening doing nothing but photographing neon signs in Las Vegas.  There are some really interesting signs there!

The Las Vegas Strip at night, Nevada.

I get many emails from photographers coming to Alaska asking about what type of clothing they will need - boots, rain gear etc.  Well to get this shot, I had to go out and get the proper clothing myself.  Yes, now I a pair of dress shoes, slacks and a dress shirt just for these type of opportunities. 

Here are more Las Vegas Photos.

Las Vegas Panoramic.

Normally my blog posts are almost in real time.  Usually I prepare the post the same day I take the photo, and post to the blog the next morning.  Well I must admit Zion has been the exception.  We left Zion about a week ago, as soon as the fall colors faded, but I continued to post photos as if I was still there because we had some much fun and I had a lot I wanted to share!

Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

I was really fortunate to find this patch of Sacred Datura wildflowers right before sunset.  I wish I had a little more time to work this location, the sun was setting fast- I’m tempted to return to this spot.

Here are more Valley of Fire State Park photos.

The road winding through the Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

I think this provides a pretty good preview of what the landscape is like in this beautiful state park.

Here are more Valley of Fire photos.

Fire Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park Nevada 

Man, Valley of Fire State Park is awesome!  Endless geographical colors and patterns, the photo opportunities are everywhere.  Despite numerous recommendations, I had never visited this state park - I won’t make that mistake again, heck it is only an hour from Las Vegas.

The Venetion Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. 

For exercise, photography and fun, we have been mountain biking out at Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas.  (more…)

New York New York, Las Vegas.  They were so excited about that name that I guess that felt it needed repeating. (more…)

A number of years ago I took a photo of this Las Vegas Welcome sign while zooming my lens.  I probably wasn’t the first to do that, and I’m sure I won’t be the last, but it ended up being a fairly popular photo.  This trip I wanted to do something different with the sign. (more…)

We have a number of panoramics on our page of Las Vegas photos.  Over the years customers have used them in some creative ways, including down the side of tour buses, and on 50 foot long wall paper running down the hallways in the new marketing offices of the Planet Hollywood casino (was the Aladin).  But a recent customer just came up with a unique way to use one on his website - not to mention, he has an interesting business, I thought it was worth sharing.

One of our most recent covers - it is always interesting to see how a photo is used.

The Pirate Show at Treasure Island, Las Vegas, Nevada.  I didn’t realize pirates dressed like that! (more…)

The fountains at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The volcano erupting in front of the Mirage Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada.

We hit the road today for a couple of days as we head to the Tetons and Yellowstone.  In the meantime, I thought I would share a few more Las Vegas Photos.

As I hiked and photographed in Red Rock Canyon the last couple of days, I have been lugging along my somewhat heavy 100-400 telephoto lens just in case I find some wildlife.  I bet you know where I’m going with this.   (more…)

This was a colorful tree along the Calico Tanks Trail in Red Canyon, Nevada.
