Thank you so much my dear friends for your support and for your faves and kind comments, very much appreciated.
In the hushed stillness of the rainforest, she sits—watchful, composed, and unknowingly regal.
Her eyes, deep and reflective, tell of seasons endured, stories untold, and a world shifting around her.
She is no monarch by human design, yet her presence commands respect.
In her aging face lies a quiet strength—etched not in gold or crown, but in the texture of time, survival, and silent leadership.
This portrait does not seek grandeur.
It seeks connection—a fleeting moment where gaze meets gaze, and instinct meets empathy.
She is a queen not of lands, but of legacy.
A matriarch of the forest, witness to its secrets, bearer of its rhythm.
She was locked on to my lens for several seconds - them irresistibly attractive big brown eyes!

shot at night in palma. a face carved in chiaroscuro, lips sealed, eyes open. the coat speaks of distance, the light of drama. no story, just presence.
on a narrow street in madrid, the echo of a painted face meets the calm presence of a passerby. flesh and pigment align in a fleeting moment of symmetry — a silent dialogue between the living and the imagined. the light catches truth and illusion with equal grace, blurring the edge where reality ends and story begins.
her gaze cuts through the soft morning haze like a whispered secret. the air glows pale and diffused, yet every detail — from the glint of the ring to the shape of her silence — sharpens in its own quiet light. this is the kind of moment you don’t hear coming, only feel as it leaves something behind.
Thank you so much for your views, kind words and faves! I really appreciate each of them !!! Have a nice day my friends!
Many thanks for visiting my gallery. Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated!!! Have a nice day, my friends!
a gaze without urgency, poised between presence and introspection. the light is soft, but the statement is clear—unflinching, quiet, and complete. her elegance isn't in adornment but in the way she holds space, as if time has no pull here.
Many thanks for visiting my gallery. Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated!!! Have a nice day my friends!

A striking close-up of a performer in a detailed steampunk-inspired monster costume at the Guggenmusik Festival. Rusted metal elements, intricate textures, and an expressive face bring this character to life in the vibrant atmosphere of the event.

he leans into the silence, lifting his glasses with the knowing glance of someone who has read a thousand stories between people—not on pages, but in eyes and pauses.
"And you ask is he happy…and you ask is he happy…?
He’s got wrinkles from smiling, he feels lucky and free
And he knows what it means to live here in the sunshine
He’s got wrinkles……" John Williamson

This is Charlie after a long afternoon hike in a mile long valley.
He loves his hikes, but is always ready for a good nap on his pillow. Yes, he owns a spot on the old couch!
Spoiled pup!
she always waits until the page turns. bold, but never rude. today, she didn't notice the lens—too busy pretending not to steal. photographed at home in palma, where even the smallest visitors write their own stories.
he held the burger like it meant something.
like it was more than lunch.
a symbol.
a statement.
or just a knife in a bun.
i didn’t ask.
i took the picture.
he nodded once.
and that was enough.
robinson and siena were siblings. i met them at palma fotográfica. they carried an old nikon, shooting film. i asked if i could take their portraits. they said yes. the light was right. the moment, too.
one says what she thinks.
the other thinks what she says.
and both know:
life’s too short for quiet thoughts.
Encountering this emperor tamarin, I was immediately struck by the dignified presence and almost human-like wisdom in its gaze. That magnificent white mustache gives this small primate such distinctive character - like meeting an elderly philosopher lost in contemplation.
I chose dramatic black and white lighting to emphasize the sculptural quality of this remarkable face and to strip away any distractions from the pure essence of the moment. The low-key approach transforms what could have been a simple animal photograph into something more intimate and portrait-like.
What moved me most was the sense of quiet intelligence I perceived in this tamarin's expression. There's something deeply contemplative about the way it holds itself, as if carrying the wisdom of the rainforest canopy. The contrast between its small stature and profound presence creates a fascinating tension.
My intention was to capture not just the physical beauty of this endangered species, but to reveal the individual personality and dignity that exists within. Sometimes the most powerful wildlife portraits are the quietest ones - moments that remind us of the complex emotional lives of our fellow creatures.
This is 6 month old sweet Oliver, who was at my Dr.s office! I had to take a pic of him, he's adorable & so mild mannered!

Observing this ring-tailed lemur in a quiet moment of rest, I was struck by the profound intelligence and contemplative quality in its gaze. There's something deeply moving about the way lemurs observe their world - those bright, expressive eyes seem to hold ancient wisdom from the forests of Madagascar.
I chose dramatic black and white lighting to emphasize the sculptural beauty of this remarkable primate and to create an intimate connection with the viewer. The low-key approach strips away distractions, focusing entirely on the character and emotion visible in those penetrating eyes and gentle expression.
What captivated me was the very human-like quality of this moment - the way this lemur seemed lost in thought, gazing into the distance with what appeared to be quiet reflection. These critically endangered primates carry such dignity and grace, reminding us of our shared evolutionary heritage and our responsibility to protect their fragile world.
My intention was to create more than just a wildlife photograph, but rather a portrait that reveals the individual personality and emotional depth of this remarkable creature, hoping to inspire greater appreciation for these extraordinary animals and their precarious future.
I have difficulty seeing these expressive eyes in zoos---- always makes me think of "Planet of the Apes" and how we could easily be the ones on the other side of the fence.
Orangutan at the Cincinnati Zoo. Very nice outdoor exhibit, lots of room to grow and move and live--- but not the same as being free in the wild. Maybe safer...........

he sits steady, grounded in posture and presence. there’s no pretense, no performance — only the soft gravity of a man who watches, waits, and holds a space. his uniform says “security,” but the gaze, the gesture, the stillness — they speak of something deeper: responsibility worn without noise.
