SCOTT PAPEK PHOTOGRAPHY PROUDLY PRESENTS “Taos”

The Rio Grande flows out of the snowcapped Rocky Mountains in Colorado and journeys 1,900 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. It passes through 800-foot chasms of the Rio Grande Gorge, a wild and remote area of northern New Mexico. The canyon provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities, luring fishermen, hikers, artists, and whitewater boating enthusiasts. In 1968, the Rio Grande and Red River were among the first eight rivers Congress designated into the National Wild and Scenic River System to protect outstanding resources values.

SCOTT PAPEK PHOTOGRAPHY PROUDLY PRESENTS “Morning Glow”

As the sun first hits the mountain range in White Sands it adds a vibrant glow for a very short time. The glow effect disappears after a few short minutes.

Before sunrise, I was looking for a composition and was drawn into the patterns within the sand. I was not expecting the first light effect on the mountain range.

Scott Papek Limited Edition Print Release “ZENITH”

Scott Papek Limited Edition Print Zenith, White Sands, New Mexico

Scott Papek Photography is proud to announce another limited edition print to the family.  Let’s welcome, “ZENITH”. Zenith was captured in the White Sands Park in New Mexico at 5:43 AM.  On this morning I had set up an early arrival with the Game and Parks.  You pay them $50.00 an hour and they open the gates for you at any time.  The hike to my scouted location was 1.1 miles with the help of my Garmin hand-held GPS.  It’s easy to get disoriented when you are surrounded with white rolling hills and on top of that throw in complete darkness!
I adore Zenith and, hopefully, you do too.

Sacred White Sands

Posted on by

In South Central New Mexico, just west of Alamogordo, are the world’s largest dune fields of Gypsum sand. The brilliant white sand dunes cover an area of nearly 230 square miles, with many of the dunes rising to over 60 feet.
Scott Papek proudly presents “Sacred White Sands”; a Limited Edition of only 300 prints will be sold.

Sacred White Sands New Mexico Papek Photography

The white sands have been on my photography list for more than 2 years. Coming from the Midwest, when we see white we think cold.
It was nice to be surrounded by white in a t-shirt for once.
A highlight for me was the last day when we entered the park 90 minutes before sunrise.
