Good morning!

From very deep in the archive: an iPhone 6 (6!) black and white shot from 2015. I still love it, always will.

Dreary
Madison, Wisconsin, 2015.

One of the very few perks of taking a very long break from Bluesky: when you come back and discover you had built up a long queue of photos to post. Let's celebrate with 2022 fireworks from New Year's Eve in Vina del Mar.
Get ready for more!

I very much enjoy the experimental part of photography. This image was made with intentional camera movement, or #ICM. It's a 5 second exposure. During the exposure, I moved the camera slightly upwards. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #trees #fog #icmphotography #photooftheday #MotionBlur

Featured Photographer: Meandering M (@pathwaymoments.bsky.social)
Resuming the series with Meandering M and their gorgeous golden hour landscapes. Love it when someone has a gift to capture moments where water, light, and nature align perfectly. It's all good, follow them! #landscapephotography
A golden hour moment in between nature’s watering schedule …

Can’t think of a better way to resume my featured photographers series than pick @peterdurst.bsky.social and give film photography some love. He believes in film, #ibelieveinfilm, we believe in film!

Good morning!

Still not sure what it is about this one, lines or colors, or maybe both, but I still like it.

Good morning!

This one is all about paying attention to light. It helps to have nothing to do but wait...

Good morning!

Lucky shot: not much of a "story" here, but I just love how the blue of the sky and the orange reflection of the sunset turned out so clean and complementary.

Good evening!

Late post today, so it’s only appropriate I give you a sunset. From much summery times though.

Good morning!

I have this whole series of b&w flowers from a few years ago and I was just reminded that I want to go back to that (and into #macrophotography). Here's one.

Good morning!

This one taken at the peak of the pandemic. Everything was so odd, the blooming tree in a parking lot under the storm clouds, that light. Film and questionable focus added to this
