This old building, once used as a dance academy, gives an ominous look in the moonlit night.
Even in the dead of winter, you can find apples on tree. I thought the contrast of these left-over apples against the old home and vines made for an interesting photo.
Sometimes nature leaves a mark that makes our imagination wander. This dead tree looks like it has an evil and tortured face upon it.
A statue of what appears to be a Native American stands with its arms stretched out. Is it welcoming or beseeching?
Some things you find out and about just give you the creeps. Like this doll placed between the hip bones of a cow and attached to a tree.
A skeleton waves greetings to people passing by a tree that has grown through a fence.
A black widow hangs in it’s web in Virginia City, Nevada. I like the orange background against the black coloring of the widow. If you look closely, you can see my reflection taking the photo in the light on the spiders backside
A Zombie dance hall girl points at a potential victim during the Virginia City, Nevada Zombie crawl.
Taken during the Zombie Run in Virginia City, Nevada, this Zombie photographed well with Saint Mary’s In The Mountains Catholic Church in the background.
The moon shines through the branches of a tree at night. I liked this in black and white as it added a kind of creepy and sinister feel.
A Gargoyle head sculpture is located on a building in San Francisco. I liked the way the lines of the building intersected with the sculpture as well as the coloring.
Taken in the dark, this photograph depicts the mural located on the wall of the showroom at the Club Cal-Neva Casino Resort in Lake Tahoe. The resort is unique as it is located in both Nevada and California with gambling being allowed on the Nevada side. Closed for many years, it is in the process of being re-opened. Many famous entertainers from Frank Sinatra to Marilyn Monroe are said to have stayed here. The resort also has a history of being haunted by past patrons. The use of black and white in the photo helps to add to the mystery I think. It is unknown if this mural will still be on the wall when the resort re-opens and it may be one of the last photos of the artwork.
Two old subway entrances rest in the desert in Goldfield, Nevada. Why they are here in the middle of nowhere is not known however, they do spark interest just by being here. I chose to make this image in black in white as it just seemed to set the mood. I did another in color which is also listed.
Two old subway entrances rest in the desert in Goldfield, Nevada. This is the color version of a previously listed photo. I really liked the blend of colors in this photo due to rust, paint and age which gave the subjects character. I liked this photo in both color and black and white so, I listed both. There is of course, no subway in Goldfield which is an historic mining town located between Tonopah and Beatty, Nevada.
For Halloween I created this representation of life. From the top of the stack of books to the bottom are objects that relate to mortality from the beginning to the end.
Two lit skeleton hands hold Brain Fruit. The mix of lighting with the unusual piece of fruit makes for an interesting display.
An abandoned home on the outskirts of Virginia City, Nevada gave me inspiration to add a guest flying outside towards the camera. This one was for fun and Halloween.
A Victorian design birdhouse sits against a colorful sunset. The weathered wood and peeling paint of the birdhouse stand out against the peaceful background.
A black and white cat guards the entrance to a home along with a gargoyle. The combination of the two made for a delightful image.
A piece of Brain Fruit is squeezed between two skeleton hands. The near black and white contrast against the lightened red finger tips gives a rather creepy and ominous feeling to the photograph. Perfect for Halloween or just something a little different.
I created this image as I liked the impact of the brilliant sky against the ominous hand reaching towards the viewer. The two combined give you a sense of being with just a touch of mystery and perhaps a bit of fear
Every town has a “House on Elm Street”. This one is in Wallace, Idaho. I really liked the colorful overgrowth of the property. The home is abandoned, and the forest is starting to take over. The address post with the Elm Street designation just added to an overall eerie feeling about the place.
I could not resist taking a picture of this hanging skeleton reaching out towards me around Halloween. I modified the color to give it a more antiqued look which I think added character the image.
Wild horses are very common in Nevada. I photographed these two walking alongside the roadway in Carson City. I thought I would have a little fun so, I added a female skeleton to the picture (note her riding sidesaddle).
