After a great day of watching the oh-so-talented @alanshapiro.bsky.social effortlessly create art, I delved into what he calls #wabisabi walls.

Finding poetry in simplicity…capturing the quiet dialogue between nature and form. A study in balance, texture, and light.

Sandhill Crane and chick in our local wetland from last year. Waiting to see them settle in again soon.

Two versions of a still life: The rich tones of the flowers in the color version add warmth, but the monochrome shot has a timeless, moody feel.

Which do you prefer? Does black and white enhance the drama, or do the colors bring out the emotion?

Nothing lasts forever—beauty fades, shadows stretch, time leaves its mark. And in that, there’s poetry. #StillLife #FleetingMoments

Light and shadow—the eternal dance. The quiet power of form, the way a single shape can speak volumes when the light falls just right.

There’s beauty in simplicity. A bare-bones setup—ceramic, branches, light. No excess, no distractions. Just the raw, unfiltered poetry of shadow and form. It’s the kind of thing you’d find in a quiet back alley café in Kyoto.

“The flower that follows the sun does so even on cloudy days.”
— Robert Leighton

A tulip bends, embracing the light. Beauty in quiet resilience.

More Still Life adventures. Today I was messing around with lights and cutouts to make interesting shadows.

The edge of Mammoth Hot Springs.

While not a traditional waterfall, the cascading water has created this beautiful formation and it’s one of my favorite places in the world.

I'm taking a course on Still Life and dusting off my lighting techniques. It feels great to be creative when everything is frozen outside.

This year’s been cold, but not as bad as the last few years. Still the ice that forms on #BartonDam is one of the most beautiful things.

Our local wetlands have been the home to a particular Sandhill Crane family for a few years. Looking forward to seeing them return this year.

Along the road, under the dormant forsythia, I found a stash of ground cherry vines. These are favorite subject, the contrast of the paper skin and colorful fruits are a win.
