so many interesting details seem to get lost in the shadows

my night photography. These colorful highlights are created
by adding colored light to the scene, on location during

been created digitally or in the darkroom.</font></p>

Over the past year, the Starving Artist Van has taken me
on some great road trips. I discovered a number of ghost
towns, the scene of a spectacular landslide <b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><img src="thumbs/n27-10s.jpg" width="75" height="115" hspace="4" vspace="2" align="right"></b></font></b>that
consumed a road, the ruins of an early 20th century industrial
location reminiscent of Stonehenge, a remote semi-desert
region that could easily pass for an alien landscape, and
my first abandoned drive-in theater! The road trips and
the experiences along the way were a fun ride, and I hope
you enjoy the photos. <br>
<br>
To accommodate all the new images, there are currently <font color="#CCFFCC"><strong>Two
New Work Galleries</strong></font>. To see the photos and
