A second look: the Untitled series
As a result of last week's revisit of my first series, rather creatively titled untitled, I found myself once again going through old photographs to see if there's anything I might have missed the first time around. While there is a set from the series on my website, there are quite a few images that haven't really been seen since 2006, if ever.
Without further adieu, here are some of the photographs I rediscovered for your viewing pleasure.

Untitled (again)
It's been a few (four!) years, but I recently got the urge to revisit the sort of photographs I was working on when I put together my first portfolio. I spent the afternoon searching an industrial section of Omaha along I Street and came away with a few images I am happy with. After spending countless hours searching the Nebraska and Iowa countryside for potential photographs, it almost seems a little too easy to make these topographic works in the matter of just a few hours.
Above are two images from this afternoon. I'll post a few more some time this week.
The hills, part two
I'm happy to see that September has found us once again. There's a slight chill to the air, a reminder that fall is just around the corner. It was a near-perfect day to explore the northern section of the Loess Hills Scenic Byway. The route is at its best around the mid-point of the Byway, in the area around Preparation Canyon near Little Sioux in Harrison County.
As I mentioned last week, the best parts of the Byway are off the beaten path, along remote gravel roads that wind through the Loess Hills. If you make the trip, make sure to take the short hike up the Murray Hill Scenic Overlook (the view from the Overlook is in the photograph below) and find your way to the Loess Hills State Forest Overlook Trail (pictured in the second image below).
