The Universe. Stranger than we imagine. Stranger than we can imagine. Goblin Valley is in Utah. It’s as strange a place as exists in the natural world. The geological features here are bizarre. Utah is filled with awesome geology. I’ve been photographing Utah for years, as have hundreds of photogs. It’s mesmerizing and […]
Not a real forest in the usual sense. But, just barely real enough that you can see these. I’ve been playing with adding textures to images off and on for years. My library of textures has grown beyond all reason. There’s a new album of images like this at markhoffmanphotography.com in the gallery called “Current […]
This might have been the pickup truck of its day. Horse-drawn wagons like this were once as common as cars. Moving a piano required one of these. Oh, and a horse, the bigger the better. Here in the mid-west you see quite a few of these relics in people’s yards. Folks use them as lawn ornaments. […]
Another Wigglegram because they’re fun to do. Here’s a gnarly bicyclist on a freezing cold day. In the rain. In a 30mph wind. See how happy he seems in spite of it? Behold the magical power of forest bicycling. This is a multi-image composition you scroll through by rolling your mouse across the frame. 3D […]
Huge changes are in the works at markhoffmanphotography.com, If you haven’t been there in a while it’s worth the trip. New design. New layout. Just new. There used to be around a thousand images for viewing/sale. Things have been trimmed. A lot. Some of the images will be returning to the various galleries and albums. […]

This multi-image composition changes viewpoint as you roll your mouse across the frame. point of view Scrollgram. Slowly sweep mouse […]
Having just added a post about the scarcity of rattlesnakes and encounters with them, I find I must amend that post. Yesterday, on a trek up the side of a hill I’ve been up hundreds of times, I happened upon two Prairie Rattlesnakes within 40 feet of one another. This particular hillside and I have […]
Thought for the day: The precarious human predicament owes its existence to thieves. Jewel thieves. Good ones. Except that “jewel” is misspelled. The word is joule. A term describing energy. That’s important to humans because we use joules all the time. We use them every second of every day our entire lives. Without them we’d […]
The natural world is still teaming with amazing life forms, though somewhat less so than it was, say, forty years ago. I’m thinking of such amazing adaptations as a simple leaf at the end of a tree branch splayed out in the sunlight, capturing the tiny blazingly fast photons hurled earthward from the violent sun, […]
OK, so maybe this is getting out of hand, but new ideas for ways to use the amazing wigglegram (scrollgram, actually) keep popping up. Take this one for instance. A chameleon pepper plant that changes from color to grayscale. This multi-image composition changes slowly from color to black and white as you roll your mouse […]
