Eventually, sometime around the middle of your life,
There’s a moment when the first imagination begins to wane.
The future that had always seemed so limitless dissolves,
And the dreams that used to seem so real float up and fade.
The years accumulate; but they start to take on a mild,
Human tone beyond imagination, like the sound the heart makes
Pouring into the past its hymns of adoration and regret.
And then gradually the moments quicken into life,
Vibrant with possibility, sovereign, dense, serene;
And then the park is empty and the years are still.
I think the saddest memory is of a kind of light,
A kind of twilight, that seemed to permeate the air
For a few years after I’d grown up and gone away from home.
It was limitless and free. And of course I was going to change,
But freedom means that only aspects ever really change,
And that as the past recedes and the future floats away
You turn into what you are. And so I stayed basically the same
As what I’d always been, while the blond light in the trees
Became part of my memory, and my voice took on the accents
Of a mind infatuated with the rhetoric of farewell.
From In the Park by John Koethe (1945 - )

... that's how it was on the long but stunning hike to Electric Pass, which though impassable due to snow at over 13000 ft, led to some unforgettable views. this one looks back towards Cathedral lake in the distance, nestled beneath Cathedral peak in the Maroon Bells wilderness ...

River Gade, Cassiobury Park, Watford. When did I stop having this kind of limitless trust in my parents? I am not sure. But I am sure that the trust was gone very early on. It did never come back. Trusting people is still hard work for me. I can do it now, but it is not an 'inherited' virtue, it is an acquired one. Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 1.4/35.
I'd been itching to get to the Sierras all summer, but it never happened. So my fall back position was to make it out for the new moon. I drove down after spending the morning with the family, then came back the following afternoon - it was a short but much needed trip. Hope everyone is doing well.
By the way - the data shows a longer exposure for the mountain. The sky was 30 sec.

I last photographed the atrium inside CityPoint nearly three years ago, so it was a pleasure to revisit the location recently with fellow London photographer Andy Cladingboel and to capture it again. The 35-storey skyscraper is remarkable for being the first in the City to rise above the height of St Paul's Cathedral when it was built in the 1960s, and although it hasn’t changed since its refurbishment in 2000, the building remains one of the most beautiful examples of contemporary architecture in London.
My main aim with this look-up was to set it apart from my previous take, muting the colour and adding more emphasis on the patterns and geometry for a sleeker and more streamlined edit. The final image was created from nine bracketed exposures, captured while the camera was resting flat on the ground and triggered by shutter remote, and later blended with luminosity masks inside Photoshop. The skylight detail was restored using my darker exposures, and although I recovered some shadow detail in the glass surrounding the skylight, I opted for a darker finish around the edge of the frame in order to emphasise the scale and depth of the building.
The main challenge was finding a clean method to select and brighten the various panels and support frames that rise up through the building, as these contained a mixture of shadows, midtones and highlights that couldn't be isolated with luminosity masks. I wanted to play up these leading lines as I felt that their contrast from the glass was key to the scene's impact, but it meant that each of them had to be cut one by one with the Pen Tool. I then applied my brighter exposures to these selections, setting them to the Screen blend mode and using a radial gradient mask to focus the intensity of the brightness on the centre of the image. With the exposures blended, the colour-grading phase was straightforward and subtle, with only Curves, Hue/Saturation and Colour Balance adjustments to add some light cyan to the shadows and a hint of warmth to the highlights, along with a Selective Colour adjustment to add a shade of magenta to the blue tone.
Opening Nik's Silver Efex Pro, I edited the glass panels, the supports and the outer edges of the frame with separate workflows, amplifying the white at the centre of the frame while increasing the Soft Contrast along the edges. I tried to strike a balance between emphasising the scene's vivid light and the dark tonality of the glass, but I also wanted to avoid a finish that would feel too harsh, so I opted for a gentler midtone and shadow structure, playing up the reflections but leaving much of the detail inside the windows obscured. The final result is a simpler take on a look-up I've now gone back to several times over the years, but it's one that hopefully captures the abstract quality of the skyscraper's architecture, and one that was a joy to revisit.

A stunning shot of the endless road cutting through the vast, otherworldly landscape of Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. This surreal expanse was once part of an ancient lake that evaporated thousands of years ago, leaving behind a thick crust of salt. Indigenous people, early explorers, and settlers all braved this unforgiving terrain, drawn by its stark beauty and the challenge it presented. The cracked salt flats stretch endlessly under the harsh desert sun, while distant mountains rise against the horizon, creating a dramatic contrast. The straight road disappears into the heat haze, symbolizing adventure, isolation, and the raw beauty of Death Valley. A place where history and nature collide, reminding us of the ever-changing forces that shape our world.

Don't worry; I'll post something other than tulips soon. But I couldn't wait much longer to share this one, as it's another favorite from this year's two trips out to the tulip farm.

I am a longtime Communications Professional specializing in photography and videography.
Located in the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia) region, I shoot real estate, events, fashion, events, news and sports. I have produced many TV commercials and corporate videos, and have a rather long credit list of local (to Southern Maryland) TV shows I have developed, hosted, shot, directed, edited and produced.
I'm interested in hearing from and interacting with serious hobby photographers and professional photogs and videographers, as well as hearing from anyone who wishes to discuss a photo or video project.
Thanks!
