My fascination with the Southern sky is endless. This was early evening before the sun set casting a beautiful muted glow across the sky. The soft, striated clouds makes for a modern abstract of a photograph.

FIG. 7 | CUMULONIMBUS

Natural Curiosity (NaturalHistoryFoto) — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:08:59 -0700

Cumulonimbus (Cb) is a towering vertical cloud (family D2) that is very tall, dense, and involved in thunderstorms and other inclement weather. Cumulonimbus originates from Latin: Cumulus "heap" and nimbus "cloud". It is a result of atmospheric instability. These clouds can form alone, in clusters, or along a cold front in a squall line. They can create lightning and other dangerous severe weather. Cumulonimbus clouds form from cumulus clouds (namely from cumulus congestus) and can further develop into a supercell, a severe thunderstorm with special features.

nest + speckled eggs | fig. o1 (For Sale)

Natural Curiosity (NaturalHistoryFoto) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 15:08:18 -0700

These are quail eggs and are tiny little fragile things. I don't know about you but anything that is miniature fascinates me, these are the size of an average person's thumbnail, how can that be? Yet, it's true.

rams | fig. 01 | odd ram out (For Sale)

Natural Curiosity (NaturalHistoryFoto) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 13:28:44 -0700

At first I thought this photo was ruined when the ram in the diorama at the natural history museum so boldly turned around and I photographed his rear. The more I looked at it, the more I liked his 'not falling for the pack mentality' attitude. Someone has got to go against the grain, right?

Natural Curiosity (NaturalHistoryFoto) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 07:29:07 -0700

Upon stumbling into a long forgotten room at the Natural History museum I witnessed this scene of a Lynx teasing a fellow neighbor. I would not have believed it myself if it weren't for the proof via this photograph, the only one of its kind. Shot with lot's of film grainy goodness.

fig. 01 | moose (For Sale)

Natural Curiosity (NaturalHistoryFoto) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 06:18:27 -0700

As if you had taken a time machine back in time to come upon this moose and his enormous antlers. The image has a wonderful worn patina, soft focus and lots of choice film grain.

butterflies | fig. o2 (For Sale)

Natural Curiosity (NaturalHistoryFoto) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 05:58:43 -0700

Pale yellow butterflies stand sentinel for all time. This photo is of a long forgotten collection at the Natural History museum in Los Angeles. In capturing this image I am allowing the collection to have a second chance at being admired, as I am sure was originally intended.
