Here is a new commissioned piece that I am working on. I photographed the buffalo in Yellowstone Park on two different occasions. This is a blend of several images and textures. Not sure if I’m done yet, but I thought I’d put it out to see what kind of feedback I’d get.

Between 20,000 and 50,000 years ago, a nickel-iron asteroid weighing hundreds of thousands of tons and possibly 150 feet in diameter crashed here at a speed of about 40,000 miles per hour creating Meteor Crater. This is the best preserved impact crater in the world and the first crater which scientists agreed was caused by an extra-terrestrial impact.The impact which had an explosive force of perhaps 20 megatons of TNT created a crater 4,000 feet wide and 700 feet deep. The crater is 550 feet deep today. The force of the explosion uplifted sections of bedrock as much as 150 feet and tossed huge limestone boulders out of the crater and around the rim.

Another shot from Death Valley. Such an intense place. Very little processing on this one as well.
