26 March 2014: Took some of our guests to Abisko for 2 nights to get away from the bad weather around Tromsø and was rewarded with this beautiful, colorful display!
We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.” ~ George Eastman

We all know that light is the key to photography. It is always about the light. I am always 'chasing it down' ... but I don't think I know it for all its worth yet! That is a good thing because that means the search is still on!!
For this image, I bracketed the shot ... really detested two of the images [delete delete] and picked the underexposed image [because the areas with light interested me the most]. My favorite Photoshop plugin: Nik's Viveza. I love the 'localized editing' approach to image editing. By the time I finished sliding, this is what I ended up with [SOOC in Comments].
I started out with an inspirational quote and I'll end with this one:
There are 3 key things for good photography: the camera, lighting, and... photoshop ~ Tyra Banks
That gave me a good laugh on this early Sliders Sunday morning!! I thought my fellow sliders would agree!

Happy Sliders Sunday Folks!
sakura (桜) cherry blossom air さくら 🌸🍃
Time after time
Alone in the city of whirling blossoms
Those petals fly in the whirling wind
The miracle of meeting you
In a city where the wind whispered through
The hanamidou tells of the end of spring
One petal from this misty flower.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

You are my broken someday.
The one lost in the seams of my notebook, and the one that slipped through my hands like sand from a beach I've never visited nor have my fingers even touched.
You are my every "maybe" that will never come to pass, wrapped up in the sighs that comprise this one word that has come to mean "never."
Chase that light, lean on me
Face that fight, lean on me
Catch your fall, lean on me
End it all, lean on me...

DEPICTIONS: A tale of PORTRAITS
Before my marriage to landscape, I was a disciple of portraits.
I missed shooting portraits.
That is why I would like to share some of my collection of portraits taken during a trip with Manny Librodo in Pagsanjan.
I wanted to rekindle my love for portraits and here are some of my work...
Like everyone else, my thoughts have been on 9/11 this past week. I will never forget where i was and exactly what I was doing when I heard the first reports. Thinking of it right now gives me the chills.
On that day a nation was devastated.
Today, with the dedication of the 9/11 Memorial, a nation will come together on the 10th Anniversary to remember the victims and honor the courage of those who risked their lives to save others.
I did a lot of sliding to bring the light & color out of the shadows on this beautiful morning at sunrise. I spent a lot of time on this bench in solitude ... the only sounds the lapping of water, the cry of gulls and insects buzzing in the reeds ... contemplating life ... and now thinking how fortunate I am to be able to do this ... the freedom ... what freedom costs ... and how deeply thankful I am for all of it.
~
A dedication in honor of the lives lost on that fateful day ... to remind myself to 'never forget.'
I loved the barren trees along the lakeshore at this location, remnants of the 1988 forest fire. Such desolate beauty ...
The sliding here is from Pro HDR, an iPhone App ... with a touch of vintage tossed in. Still wading through all my trip photos ...
HSS!! Hope everyone is having an awesome Sunday!
We arrived at 11:00 PM. There are so many riders, that we are released in waves. We were in the fourth wave (orange), so we had to wait until 1:30!! AAARGHH! We just wanted to get ridin'!! We rode until the sun came up (frustratingly slow at times due to the density of the 'pack' ... it was humid with nary a breeze) ... but we still had a blast. Jackie's sense of humor is always a bonus!!
Riding through the hoods (Chinatown, Greektown, etc.) is always a rich cultural experience. You'd be amazed (or not) at how many people were out. Folks were pouring out of the bars, drunk ... and cheering us on and high-fiving us ... all of this at 3:00 in the morning!! The City was Alive! Or the City Never Sleeps!
The sunrise wasn't as spectacular as we hoped, in fact we didn't even see the sun till it came up over the clouds. We waited for that (so I could get my photo) ... and then flew out of the city and straight to our beds. In all total, I was up for 28 hours straight!!
Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁
...
One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, but along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:
She is the 100% perfect girl for me.
He is the 100% perfect boy for me.
But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fouteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.
A sad story, don’t you think?
Yes, that’s it, that is what I should have said to her. .
