Desert Living Photography

I'm working on something a bit different now. Everyone loves their favorite cars. Well. I decided that my latest collection will celebrate cars, the good, the bad, the ugly. But always the interesting.

I plan to get maybe 30 in this collection, but here are my first 5.

I have photographed over 100 cars since I retired 10 years ago. In this collection, I've transformed some of my favorites into posters for your man cave, or even your wo-man cave.

In the past, I've just posted favorite photos I've taken. Lately I've decided to do collections, and this is my sixth, the others being Safari, Butterflies and Moths, Birds, People, and Art Deco Wildlife. All can be found my website DesertLivingPhoto.com, and also available for purchase at my fulfillment website WillWagner.US.

If you're a car enthusiast, please share your opinion. Am I on target, or did I miss the mark? Which is your favorite? If you like them, please share.

Gems of the US, presented as only nature can do.

These are just 5 examples. To see the full collection, please visit my site at

WillWagner.US

on the web. I currently have 19 completed and posted, and add new ones frequently. I haven't visited all the parks, but I'm making progress at 43.

If you like my posters, please share and comment.

I call my company (which is basically me) Desert Living Photography. That's because I live in the Phoenix area, where we have lots of desert. But that doesn't mean I only photograph the desert. Of course, if you follow me you already know this.

I have been fortunate to have traveled quite a bit in my lifetime, and I love capturing the unique beauty of places and things that Mother Nature has spent so much time creating.

My latest collection is kinda like a jewelry store of nature, showing off the gems of our national landscape. Our National Parks. I know folks just love to collect various forms of national park mementoes, and what can be better than actual photos?

So here's my contribution. These are fine art drawings of some of my favorite photos that I've taken over the years, presented in a somewhat Art Deco poster format. They would make wonderful wall hangings, and if you visit my website, it allows you to see how they look on a wall. They are available in all types of media, from tote bags to iphone cases to fine framed prints, in all sizes.

I haven't visited all the parks, but I'm getting close. This is just a sample of two parks. I will soon be posting the collection as a whole so you can compare. Maybe you'll see your favorite park, and maybe even in a way you haven't seen it before.

Anyway, keep an eye out. In the meantime, all my photos will be available to view at DesertLivingPhoto.com. That site does not support purchasing, but if you are interested in purchasing, visit my fulfillment website at WillWagner.US on the web. The fulfillment site does not have all the photos, just a subset. But if you see something on the main site that you like, just let me know which piece and I will make sure to upload it to the fulfillment site for you.

I'm always interested in hearing how folks react to my work. Do you like these National Park drawings? Let me know. Sand if you do like them, please share. Thanks!

This is perhaps my favorite in my recent Butterfly and Moth collection of Fine Art Drawings. No, this is not a composite, but a drawing of a real photograph I took in Costa Rica. We had put out a piece of fruit to attract butterflies, and got quite a few to come around. The Owl Butterfly can get quite large, and offered a perfect perch for this smaller hitchhiker.

If you like this, please share.

All my artwork, including this full collection is available on my website at WillWagner.US. And thanks for looking...

I recently posted my new collection of Butterfly Fine Art Drawings. These are all drawings of butterfly and moth photos that I have taken over the years in the US, Central, and South America.

Life has a way of going in circles at times. I started my adult life by obtaining my Masters Degree in Entomology. It was a great plan, which I thoroughly enjoyed. But I soon realized I needed to make a living to support my family.

So, I put Entomology aside, got an MBA degree, and started contributing to our economy. Not nearly as much fun, but it paid the bills. And, eventually, it allowed me to visit wonderful places like Belize, Ecuador, Peru and Costa Rica, with a nice camera.

So, now in my retirement years, I'm back posting drawings of my butterfly photos. I no longer feel a need to disect these critters, or memorize their genus and species, but instead I get pleasure from their incredibly intricate and delicate beauty.

Anyway, my original post was 15 images, and now I'm adding a few more, three at a time. Hope you like them. All are available to view at DesertLivingPhoto.com, as well as purchase at WillWagner.US on the web.

And while you're there, check out my other recent collections, including birds, people, and wildlife from my Kenya safari. And I love comments and suggestions, so let's hear them!

This is my latest collection of drawings based on photos I've taken over the years. Starting with 15, but I will add more from my library of photos. I hope to get around 30 when complete.

Thought I'd put together a collection of interesting people photographs. Lots of stories here.

This is a preview of my next collection, "People". I'll be posting it soon.

Of the hundreds of photos I took in Kenya, this is the one that ended up on the wall of my foyer. Visitors always stop and stare as they enter my home. Large prints like this highlight the details.
