Meditation is part two  of a two – set companion piece entitled “Contemplation and Meditation” taken on hike through Red Rocks Canyon on the outskirts of Las Vegas in the Mojave Desert.  When you mention Las Vegas to most people the think of the famed Las Vegas Strip.  Most people miss the breathtaking beauty of the area around the city, especially in the desert.  Red Rocks Canyon is one of the largest hiking areas in the Vegas area.  Breathtakingly beautiful, the park varies from the amazing red rock formations you will see in this gallery to the mountains and sequoia cactus located around the park.  I highly suggest to anyone visiting the Las Vegas area to check out Red Rocks Canyon.

This picture is from the series “In The Past” taken while driving through the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, which is one of the most beautiful areas of the US.  The complete gallery is coming soon to MJFPhoto.com!

This picture from the set, Rush Hour, New York City,  was taken towards the end of my walk as almost an afterthought.  As things often do, this has become one of the most favorite pictures that I have taken. Click here if you want so more information on this shoot.

This week we uploaded two new galleries, Rush Hour, New York City and ShadowNLight.

Rush Hour, NYC was taken on a an afternoon walk through Mid-Town Manhattan on a cold, overcast day.  The weather and the clouds made the decision to shoot black and white easy.

ShadowNLight is a series taken of my cat, Shadow.  The late day sun had formed a perfect ray of light into my living room, but as the day went and the light moved, Shadow refused to do so, she was just too comfortable.  One of the pictures from this series was selected picture of the week for July 19th.

Nighttime shots from the world famous Bourbon Street.
