Percussionist, Photographer, and Poet

To prevent me from going insane from having to pay the bills (see Technology), I have a variety of other creative outlets to distract me.

A New View of Taos

Taos Canyon from my new vantage point in Taos. I have a wonderful new view of Taos and the mountains look stunning this cold December afternoon, topped with snow and a healthy veil of clouds.

Sunsets

1498935318_xkpM7q8 The amazing sunsets of northern New Mexico provide plenty of outlets for my obsession with the colors of dusk. The late summer and early fall sunsets have been anything but disappointing this year, even with my recent move 1000 feet down from El Salto into the hidden valley of Valdez.

Introducing Cosmic Dog

Since last October, I've been rehearsing with a band that calls itself Cosmic Dog here in Taos, New Mexico. I believe Chris Burton's original music, which will make a public debut 9pm Friday, April 15th at the Midtown Lounge in Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico, is amazing. I'm more excited than I think I have ever been playing his incredible variety of original songs.

The Snow Line Approacheth

The Unordinary Colors of Taos

Another incredible sunset from El Salto Two nights in a row in early June provided some spectacular colors at sunset from our viewpoint on El Salto. I captured this one on the second night as the twilight was fading.
