Badlands National Park Road Trip 2009

So this whole purpose of this trip was…
1. To get away from normal life and to get refreshed a little bit.
2. To hike.
3. To learn some new techniques…
4. And to capture a certain picture that I had in my minds eye.

That certain picture was to be the majestic badlands (The grand canyon of the Midwest) in morning or evening light, you know, sunrise or sunset time frame.
Well it was only the first evening that we were there did we get any light conditions like I was looking for. So while I did not get the perfect shot I was looking for, this will have to do. ;-D

Four guys from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, went to the SD badlands for an early spring adventure. The guys were Dave Parker, Bob Martin, Barry Moore and moi (thank you Atlantys ).

On our way out to the Bad land sof South Dakota Barry convinced us to stop off at Okaton, SD which is a ghost town.

Barry did the reasearch ahead of time to see where the ghost towns will be in a 50 mile radius of our planned destinations.

Barry enjoyed this place a ton. I must say It was fascinating..

About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
