These are the images I submitted to the 2025 NTD 5th International Photography Competition, Category B: Nature and Landscape. Titles and descriptions in alt text.
Pas de Deux (2017) Two butterflies share a single flower, sitting in perfect symmetry, as if engaged in a dance. Three Yellow Flowers (2018) Three yellow flowers on the same stem at different stages of bloom, seeming to tell a story of growth and development. Ominous Cloud (2019) An ominous-looking ground fog dwarfs a hill along highway 18 on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Arc of Dreams (2021) A wide angle view of the imposing sculpture of the same name by artist Dale Lamphere, erected in downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Absolutely killer film recipe. Straight out of camera JPEG, zero editing (except for border and watermark).

Got best of show at a local gallery for the theme "Playful Reflection".
A framed print of one of my photos hanging in a local gallery. (A copy of the photo is the second attachment to this post.) A "Best of Show" sticker is attached to the info card. A JPEG of the photo that won best of show. It's titled "Child in restaurant playing with toy", which is as accurate a description as I can manage in alt text.

LinkTree is great and all, but I have a website, so why am I paying $5/mo to host links when I can host my own? I took care of this about a month go. Keeping the LinkTree alive for a bit longer so people with old business cards can still use the QR code, but ready to phase this out soon.

While offering feedback on some images to a young photographer I'm mentoring, I came upon a great article about histograms—an important tool that a lot of people are unnecessarily intimidated by. It just needs a good explanation, as provided here: digital-photography-school.com/how-to-read-...

A stroll through my neighborhood 1/2

A glorious sunny day for a walk in the neighborhood, tempered only by an icy breeze, but good enough for photography.

Playing around with a new recipe in my Fuji X100V, "Dark Diary High Contrast". These are straight out of camera #sooc with no adjustments other than adding the watermark.

This is the "Dark Diary" recipe with my Helios 44-2 lens. This black and white recipe is very high contrast.

I use a Square terminal for my photography sales and also take PayPal and Venmo, so I get regular emails about point-of-sale solutions, but I have yet to see "POS" in a subject line and not read it as something completely different.

my dad likes to call the stretches of time when you're not creating "dreaming periods" and says that they're meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you're able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. sometimes it's hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they're natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

Playing around with a custom Fuji recipe I came up with some years ago, and that I recently rediscovered.

I learned two new things today:

1. A warming filter can take the cool edge off Instax film (one of my pet peeves and the reason I also shoot Polaroid)

2. Instax film dgaf about temperature so I can shoot right now (I'm keeping my i-2 in the bag until spring)
