I have to admit that Fall is my favorite time of year. The weather is lovely, the sunsets are beautiful, and best of all... oysters!

Mike Basher Photography

For the past fifteen years, Mike Basher has traveled the globe photographing campaigns for large corporations such as Under Armour, Reebok and The North face, photographing celebrities and athletes like Carmelo Anthony, Lindsey Vonn, Michael Phelps and Andy Murray. This selection of his photography is the antithesis.


Shackleford II

His inspiration for this collection comes from the solitude of the outdoors. Mike's sublime, minimalistic photographs take a look at scenes often visited by others, yet his approach in isolating subjects leaves the viewer to often question, and even disregard its whereabouts.

Mesquite Flat VI

Working exclusively with large format black and white film, each image is carefully crafted-seen through the process of making a precise exposure, hand developing the negative, and final display. This involved, hands-on craft brings him close to his work. What the viewer sees is essentially an extension of his persona. Quiet and precise, yet bold.

The Colors of Fall
As the days begin to cool and the leaves begin to turn, we think of rich golden browns, greens, and oranges. Here are some of the colors of Fall.

Santa Fe Stoneworks
In the shadows of the Sangre de Cristo mountains sits a century-old adobe ranch house where artisans handcraft knives of rare beauty. From one-of-a-kind custom designs to popular, affordable, collections of pocket knives, table and kitchen cutlery, men's gifts and accessories.

Each of Santa Fe Stoneworks collectibles is a unique example of the cutler's art - the quintessential marriage of fine steels with gemstone, shell, or intricate wood marquetry.

This 3" knife is crafted from a fossilized mammoth tooth and jet (a form of lignite) with a Damascus Steel Blade.

  
  
Fossilized mammoth tusk comprises the handle of this 3" Lockback knife.  

This knife is crafted out of wood inlay, in a pattern called Kaleidoscope. It also has a Damascus Steel Blade, and is 4" long.
