I'm hanging out in a hotel room in the the desert, staying cool while the world melts from the 100 degree temps outside.
I wish I could say I've been night shooting recently, but the last time I took my camera out beneath a moon was in March, when I shot an aircraft boneyard with the two guys (Mike Hows and Joe Reed) I'm shooting with tonight at a car junkyard.
I can't wait.

I was looking through my archives the other day and stumbled upon this image of Sutro Tower shot from the Marin Headlands on a beautiful, fog morning in 2013.
I haven't been out to the headlands to shoot the fog much since, but I definitely can remember how glorious this morning was.
This was the last location we explored during our trip to the Southern United States last May.
I was so ecstatic to find a mostly in-tact morgue with drawers and doors. I realize that may sound "crazy" to most people, but it's an artifact of these asylums/hospitals that is usually destroyed or full of graffiti.

Inside the beautifully green linen room of the Jones Building at Central State Hospital in Georgia.
This building was closed in 1979 after nearly 50 years of operation.
I have always heard that Arizona has some incredible sunsets and this evening definitely proved that theory to be true.
I photographed these two NAVY planes in an airplane boneyard outside of Tuscon, Arizona during a night photography taught by TakenPictures and Joe R. Reed.
Taken last March in Arizona during a night photography workshop with Mike Hows and Joe Reed.

I am known for shooting most of my images at 17mm with everything in focus, but when I walked by and peered into this broken window, I couldn't resist the framing and shallow depth of field.
I always love seeing nature reclaim an abandoned space...
Western State Hospital, Tennessee
Oh blue hour. You quietly tease us with a 15 minute dance twice a day. I wish you could stay a little bit longer. You make the peeling paint even more glorious, bask a historic building so beautifully in a blue glow and make everything seem more peaceful...
A Titan II ICBM missile on display at the Titan II ICBM Site 571-7 in Arizona.
The Titan II ICBM was in use from 1962 until 2003. This particular missile was designed to hit a target over 9,000 miles away and cost over $3 million per launch.
Sometimes an opportunity presents itself and you just have to go for it. This was one of those evenings.
This site has been closed since the 1960's, but it was once a major contributor to iron production for nearly 80 years.
This is Boom, the newest member of the dinosaur family.
Here he is enjoying some flowers while traveling in Alberta, Canada.
