A storm gathers over the Susie Islands. This is the raw beauty of the north, quiet and immense.

A view of a dense forest of tall trees stretching to the horizon. The forest meets a vast lake under a cloudy sky. The clouds are thick and grey, hinting at a possible storm. The scene conveys a sense of solitude and the power of nature.

Leafless trees stand against a wind-whipped, vivid blue lake. The gray sky amplifies the intensity of the water and the last greens of fall.

A wide view shows a dense forest of leafless trees stretching towards a large lake under a cloudy sky. The water is a deep blue, with gentle waves. The clouds are thick and gray, hinting at an overcast day

A Tesla trillionaire who took from those in need - 600,000 now dead. 40 billion dollars to Argentina, 10 billion for soybean farmers, OpenAI asking for a bailout yet to come for a company that has yet to turn a profit, but no support for the 40 million hungry at home.

On Highway 11, between Thunder Bay and Fort Frances — Quetico North Outfitters, a small lifeline of gas, coffee, and conversation. The kind of place that reminds you how far north you’ve come, and how kind the people are when you stop.
#photography #ontario #canadaphoto #roadtrip #travel
A low stone building with a red metal roof beneath a bright blue sky scattered with clouds. Two small gas pumps stand in front, one marked “Self Serve.” Bare trees line the background. The scene feels remote yet friendly, a quiet stop along a long northern highway.

Turned Out Nice Again - Inside a house that needed a lot of work — I worked with this purple room and yellow chair.

#fineart #photography #colorstudy #urbaninterior #conceptual #purpleandyellow #turnedoutniceagain
A dim purple room with a peeling ceiling, a small window framing leafless trees, and a single yellow chair near the wall. A study in contrast and dry humour.

The statue of Mangal Mahadev depicting Lord Shiva at Grand Bassin, Mauritius.

#photography #Mauritius #MangalMahadev #LordShiva #HinduCulture #TravelPhotography #CulturalHeritage #Spirituality
A towering bronze-colored statue of Lord Shiva stands upright, over thirty meters tall. He holds a trident in his right hand and raises his left in blessing. A snake rests around his neck, and his face is calm and benevolent. The figure wears simple draped robes and prayer beads, standing on a pedestal against a gray background.

It’s Grim Up North (Watford)
This one began as a 1980s black-and-white print, later reworked in ink and then merged again. What drew me in was the light on the roofs after rain - even in Watford.

#photography #art #compositeimage #monochrome #urbanlandscape #blackandwhite #watford #everydaylife
A black-and-white image showing a row of terraced houses under a pale, overcast sky. The rooftops glisten as if wet after rain, while the walls below sink into deep shadow. The picture blends photography and ink drawing, giving the scene a textured, slightly dreamlike quality. Though it looks like a northern industrial street, it was taken in Watford.

The ROK Restaurant in Reykjavik — example of how traditional Icelandic turf-roof design meets modern simplicity. The grass-covered roof links the building to older styles + the clean cladding symmetry keep it contemporary.

#Photography #Monochrome #Iceland #Reykjavik #Architecture #blackandwhite
A black-and-white photograph of a two-storey wooden building in Reykjavik. The facade is symmetrical, with a central doorway and five evenly spaced windows. The roof slopes on both sides and is covered with patches of grass, recalling Icelandic turf-house traditions. Reflections in the windows show nearby trees and street life. The sign above the door reads “ROK.”

Seems like the first cooler day of fall in Evanston,

A cluster of autumn leaves, curling and full of light. Their decay holds its own quiet beauty.

#photography #Autumn #StillLife #Nature #Leaves #SeasonalChange
The image shows a cluster of large leaves in autumn. The leaves are in shades of brown, yellow, and green, with some curling at the edges and small holes, suggesting decay. The sunlight highlights their textures and imperfections, creating a rich, earthy scene.

An accidental selfie photographing the funky windows at the Harpa Reykjavik - messing with color grading and sharpening.

The image shows a reflective surface capturing a pattern of geometric shapes. It has multiple green-tinted, rectangular frames layered on each other, creating a tunnel-like effect. The reflection also includes the faint outline of a person holding a camera

Where is the NY Times in depth coverage of why 7 million Americans chose to spend the day protesting Trump?

I can’t find it.

A foreign newspaper seems to have more interest.

But when I look at the New York Times website, I discover that it never happened.

Doncaster Power Station, 1982 — Ilford FP4 film.
Decades later, I revisited it in ink and charcoal, blending the photograph and sketch into one frame. The factory’s gone now, but its forms stay etched in memory

This image captures 85 Hobson Street from a high vantage point. The architectural design resembles a futuristic ship, emphasizing modern urban development and Auckland's sense of style.
