Can you imagine how big an iceberg this was before melting down to this little floater about the size of your fist? Jokulsarlon, Iceland, April 2021

Mesmerising colours this morning in Birkenhead!
The Great Float, is a body of water on the Wirral Peninsula, England, formed from the natural tidal inlet, the Wallasey Pool. It is split into two large docks, East Float and West Float, both part of the Birkenhead Docks complex. The docks run approximately 2 miles (3 km) inland from the River Mersey, dividing the towns of Birkenhead and Wallasey. The Great Float consists of 110 acres of water and more than 4 miles (6 km) of quays.

Just got back from Puebla mexico where I was teaching a photography and photoshop seminar, it went really well!
We had about 10 people at the seminar, and over 3 days went over a lot of photoshop, as well as did a photo shoot with a few models, and edited the images we shot.
Thanks to everyone involved

Week 20
(Teleidoscope - Week #17 "Mythology")
So I said a couple weeks back that I had created a couple images for a Theory of Knowlegde project that describe language through the medium of music and tie those interpretations of the songs to a visual aid. I choose to display my own pictures, with the songs that inspired them. I loved being able to show my pictures and add the soundtrack to it while looking at them, but my favorite part was seeing others share their favorite songs and they're personal connection with each song.
This image was based on my good friend Serena's project :) Serena is one of the most original, open minded, free spirited, wanderlust filled, artistic, and just plain whimsical people I know. Her music project reflected exactly that, with her description and interpretation of the song "Float On" by Modest Mouse being my favorite. She said it reminded her of jellyfish, and how they just float along and let the water push them without care. The song reminds her that in tough times, everything will be ok and we'll continue to float on. I've included her music choices below :)
Frederic Chopin - Nocturne In E Flat Major, Op.9 No.2

I also chose to do this image for the Teleidescope theme of "Mythology" because Medusa is another word for jellyfish, and they are scientifically catigorized in the Subphylum Medusozoa :)
floating on the fleeting moment
this is here now, soon gone to be replaced by another
a loved one goes away and time scales shift
moments to weeks to months to now to then
3/365
“Still, what I want in my life is to be willing to be dazzled -
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world."
They say that "Art is the only way to run away without leaving home".
8 Years since doing my first 365, and that statement rings ever true! It feels so great to wake up in the morning with a plan and a purpose again! I've found the last few weeks that I would wake up and hazily judge whether it was a "bad day" (>order pizza) or a good day (>do some work). Now, it's a "when the hell do I find
time to do my 365 today" day! :D
I'm shooting a wedding in a couple of hours, and the reality of how time consuming 365 is hitting hard! Yesterday I managed to fit in dinner with a lovely friend and the gym AND 365 but weddings are a WHOLE NEW LEVEL GUYS
RIGHT enough typing - I must fly! ;) Pun totally intended
Sailing between different points around Coron Island, Palawan province, Philippines. That day the camera was in shoot, shoot and shoot mode.
A hard buoy caught within knotted webbing. The net’s square apertures — once calibrated to size and species — now compress around a sphere designed to keep it upright in tidal flow. Precision repurposed as sculpture.
This photograph is one of several I took of a heap of commercial fishing net and its associated gear near the docks of the Port of Astoria. The bright orange mesh is synthetic netting designed to hang vertically in the water as a fishing panel. Along what would have been the top edge are plastic floats that keep the net upright near the surface. Along the lower edge (not fully visible here) would have been heavier line or weights to hold the net down. Together, these components create a vertical “curtain” in the water.
The thick braided orange and yellow ropes are structural lines used to support, deploy, and retrieve the net. These heavier lines carry the load when the net is set from a vessel and when it is hauled back aboard. The rusted steel rings, shackles, and fittings connect sections of net and transfer strain between rope and hardware.
In use, this assembly would have been stretched out and held under tension by water resistance and the movement of the boat. On land, without tension, the system collapses into a dense heap. What appears chaotic in the photographs is in fact a modular working system composed of:
* Net webbing (the fishing panel)
* Float line (top edge)
* Weighted line (bottom edge)
* Structural support lines
* Metal connectors and attachment points
The close-up images highlight individual elements—knots, frayed synthetic fibers, corroded steel fittings—that are normally invisible when the gear is deployed at sea.
Would have been awesome if we shot from a lower perspective.
The tides were too high that day, couldn't get closer to these beautiful rocks:(
Recently, I did a hike to the Zion Narrows located in Zion National Park in Utah. It was not my first time in the Narrows but it was the first time in 8 years that I had been back. It was also my first time back to the Zion Narrows as a photographer.
It is definitely a different experience hiking the Narrows as a photographer. As a photographer one notices all the little things that can make or break a photo while hiking in the Narrows. For instance, the indirect and reflected light in this scene is one such example. When I was not a photographer, I would have probably shot this scene when direct light flooded this area of the Narrows. It would have resulted in harsh and unpleasing lighting. Even the wave motion in the water would not have been possible in bright and harsh light because I would need to use a faster shutter speed. As a photographer, I look for softer light especially in slot canyons. This can often result in magical reflected light and surprising results. Luckily, my friend Mark and I barely made it to this location before direct light flooded this part of the Narrows. If we would have arrived just five minutes later this scene would have looked totally different.

I always enjoy visiting the EAA AirVenture Seaplane Base on Lake Winnebago five miles from Wittman Regional Airport. There are always lots of cool float planes moored there in the lagoon as well and planes arriving and departing. This is a de Havilland DHC-2 Mk.1 that is from Elkhart, IN.
The little stopper put to work again for this shot, the sun was really harsh just before setting so I have used the boat as a shield.
Kenai National Park, Alaska, USA
Sea otters, whose numbers were once estimated at 150,000–300,000, were hunted extensively for their fur between 1741 and 1911, and the world population fell to 1,000–2,000 individuals living in a fraction of their historic range. A subsequent international ban on hunting, sea otter conservation efforts, and reintroduction programs into previously populated areas have contributed to numbers rebounding, and the species occupies about two-thirds of its former range.
