Some people skateboard to learn tricks. Others do it to feel a sense of freedom.
With her board in hand, Tamara stands in the middle of the skatepark—ready for her next adventure. Amid the ramps, graffiti, and rough concrete, she brings her own unique energy: self-assured, athletic, and full of joie de vivre.
The soft pink of her outfit creates an exciting contrast to the urban backdrop. But that’s exactly what makes the moment special. Strength doesn’t have to be loud. Sometimes it simply shows itself in your posture, in the courage to try something new, and in the self-confidence to go your own way.
As the sun slowly moves across the skate park and the wheels are already waiting for the first run, one thing is clear to Tamara:
Life is like a skatepark—sometimes it’s uphill, sometimes it’s a rapid downhill. The only thing that matters is enjoying the ride.

Learn from the past,
set vivid, detailed goals for the future,
and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

it was an idea I had in mind for a while but just folding it today. some people found the snail good in my last picture so I decide to use it again, it's an easy way to fold a snail !
I had an exciting idea to capture the lunar eclipse over the majestic Teton Mountain range. I set off from home at 2:00 am, determined to arrive at the Snake River Overlook in Grand Teton National Park by 4:30 am, just in time for the eclipse’s totality. However, my calculations of the elevation were off, and the moon was too high in the sky to include the mountains in my shot. To make matters worse, the temperature plummeted to a chilly 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and I struggled with shaky hands and a lack of motivation to stay out of the car and capture a stable image. This experience taught me the importance of being well-prepared for the changing conditions of the sky and the unpredictable weather.
In processing this image I did learn that the small bright spot to the left (west) of the Sea of Tranquility is Dionysius crater. This small (11 mile) crater is particularly bright because of it's lighter colored impact ejecta and it is near the Apollo 11 landing site which is just to the southeast in the Sea of Tranquility.

It was one of the last days of the Republic when inside the Galaxies Opera House on Coruscant, during a conversation that would change the course of history, Palpatine defined the Dark Side as a “pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.”
Despite all the things that have been said about the Prequel Trilogy, that line is spot on because it perfectly shows the point of view of someone who uses the Dark Side for his own agenda.
Many years have been passed since that fateful day and many things are different now.
If we look at current followers of the Dark Side we realize the classic line needs to be updated.
As I observe Kylo with his immature rage outbursts and personality disorders I’m sure the updated version of the Palpatine’s line is:
“The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some…will never learn”
For if the Tantrum Knight is the best among the current Dark Side followers the word “ability” will never be part of their vocabulary.
Just look at him: crying for Vader, smashing things with his Lightsaber, that he wasn’t even able to properly build, at the first difficulty. How can he actually learn any those abilities?
Once there were the Sith. They were evil but they had charisma.
Now there are the Knights of Ren. They are evil and nothing more.
A little parody about Kylo :)
I hope you like it :)
May the Brick be with You :)

Last winter, we visited Grand Teton NP, for our usual images of wildlife in the snow ... and some winter landscapes as well. We hit various types of weather from blowing blizzard-like snow to gorgeous atypically warmer sunny days. This image was from one of those. See I came across some swans that were taking a leisurely swim in the river. Alongside them were the often overlooked mallards. After some time, my eyes kept returning to the mallards, which were becoming increasingly beautiful to me. This particular one captivated my lens. I just loved the way its head would glisten in the sunrise as it would bob in and out of the water as it foraged for food. Made me realize the power of observation in that as I watched, it became more predictable as to its actions and more intriguing to me. Such a beautiful bird.
Happy Weekend everyone. Hope that you have some fun things planned.

In early 2012, I headed up to Canada in search of Snowy Owls as I had heard in the news that they had flown south for the winter in unusually large numbers.
The news was right, they were easy to find and, on a couple occasions, I found them hanging out together. Likely up to no good as all I got were evil glares ;)
Wildlife photography is a tricky thing...sometimes you set out thinking "I'm going to shoot wildlife", and have no idea what you might see. Other times you say "I'm going to Canada to shoot Snowy Owls..." but it's not like landscape photography, where you think "I'd like a nice sunset over the Grand Canyon..." and you can somewhat visual the end result. Wildlife photography doesn't work that way, you go with the flow and even though I recently went to Canada thinking "I'd like to photography Snowy Owls..." I never imagined I'd come home with an image like this. I love the thrill of wildlife photography :)

Learn from my mistake!
This one if from the archives, it was taken at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in 2007. I posted this photo to demonstrate that it's sometimes necessary to switch over to manual focus from time to time. The lens/camera choose the easy thing to focus, which was the band-aid, but the Newt's head is out of focus. Had I just flipped the switch to manual and moved up 1", I would have gotten a better shot.
Any Comments or Critiques are welcome. What else could I have done differently?
Edit: This isn't a "Newt" per se, but a lizard known as a Anole. More info here:

My fav band is the Foo Fighters so as soon as I saw the theme I knew my pic was going to be inspired by one of their tracks. Learn to Fly is one of the first tracks that got me into their stuff so it felt right to try to find something connected to the word Fly. HMM!

What the heck is a vertorama?
What’s that you say? This photo has been up on Flickr for quite some time without a link to a before and after comparison? Sheesh, I’m lazy. ;)
Anyway, this photo is technically referred to as a vertorama. It basically means that it’s composed of multiple stitched photos in a vertical format as opposed to a (more traditional) horizontal panoramic format. This particular image is composed of 6 HDR photos. The 6 (processed) HDR photos were stitched together using Autopano Giga, a very powerful piece of software that makes pano work very easy.
If you are curious about the HDR Panorama process, I’ve created a little tutorial that explains it in greater detail.
Ehem... And the link to the before and after is up ;)
Enjoy!
