"Hoop Dancing" [The Audiobook]

"Hoop Dancing" [The Audiobook] can now be purchased for $9.95 at My CDBaby webpage, as well as at ITunes. I'm quite happy with it. But perhaps you ask, "Stu, "Hoop Dancing" is a photo-memoir. How come an audiobook for a picture book?" Well, since I've been traveling a lot, shooting the world and all that, I listen to audiobooks while I drive. Now most times, I'm singing along to Ben Folds, or Dave Rawlings, or Neko Case or U2 as I journey about, but when it's late, dark and I'm on a lonely Interstate, I put on audiobooks like "The Lovely Bones", "Mountains Beyond Mountains," or "Into Thin Air." So, I love audiobooks. I hope you love audiobooks too, and perhaps you'll like this one as well.

...but it felt like Christmas in Zion...

[This image's been taken numerous times by photographers. (Google 'Capital Reef' and you'll see the good, the bad and the ugly-flat.) But that man in the middle intrigues me. And just because it's been done before, doesn't mean don't ever do it again. Ask any concertmaster or bluesman. He knows what I'm saying. Note: Looks like some cowboy shot him. Bastard.]

The Beauty Of Pictorialist Photography

"Saguaro near Cathy's Fault, Arizona" (c) 2010 Stu Jenks

[A Neo-Pictorialist photograph, it's a tip-of-my-cap to a photographic genre that's gotten little respect. Google 'Pictorialist Photography" and wonder at the Masters, like Stieglitz, Seeley, Steichen and many others. Much of their later work gets all the attention, but their Pictorialist work amazes. And lucky of me, unlike those Greats, I can shoot in color. Expect some fuzzy photos like this (and some sharp ones too) from my recent trip to Zion NP and Capitol Reef NP.]

[Another Neo-Pictorist photo, taken at a wondrous place in a faraway corner of Colorado, last year. And Happy Valentine's Day, y'all.]
