An intentional movement experiment with a gloriously backlit crabapple tree last October. What do you think? I love abstracts but they are challenging!

Self-portrait At Ocotillo Moons
(November 7th, 2020)
Terlingua, Texas, U.S.A.
After the first encounter last year, I returned there again. I had to because it was love at first sight. The desert is not a landscape that shouts. It whispers, inviting you to look closer. I think I found my place on Earth. The Chihuahuan desert, the largest desert in North America and the third most diverse in the world, is where I went for a 10-day road trip in November. It was a peak season, but I was able to find my solitude, rebuild harmony, and feed my soul. Aride and alive, the fascinating paradox about the Chihuahuan could be the metaphor of my poor existence in this world.
I took this mirrored self-portrait at my new place called 'Ocotillo Moons' where I moved to for next four days. It was a secluded luxuary barn sitting on 40 acres of beautiful desert landscape. It made me really sad seeing quite a comfortable lodging that I didn't expect with a spacious bathroom, a separate bedroom, a well equipped kitchen, a little rest area and an incredible covered patio. Even the refrigerator was giving natural water after pressing a proper button, or if you wanted potable water with glace straight to your cup! Gosh! All this made me feel bad and guilty. I started missing my Ghost Town Ruin where I stayed for the first three days, and all the hard work I had to do in order to wash dirty dishes, get potable water or a cup of tea. Such life makes you humble, and only this way you start understanding better the desert. Well, in fact, it was at Ocotillo Moons where I took two showers, my only ones during a 10-day road trip. Still, there was no a bathub, and everywhere I looked at, signs with conserving water, so I thought quite a bit before I decided to use it.
After a day or so of my stay there, I started slowly liking this place more and more. It's because I figured out its name, and fell in love with a new desert plant: ocotillo. It was so amazing looking at so many flourishing ocotillos surrounding the barn. To me they were like a synonyme of the essence of the Chihuahuan desert aride and alive. For most of the year the ocotillo appears devoid of life, but its dry, woody, thorny stems sprout small green leaves in spring and after heavy rains, followed by a cluster of bright red flowers.
I was able to take some self-portraits only twice at this place. First photoshoot was focused on ocotillos of course (sadly, I lost my mind dancing at the Golden Hour in the desert, and completely forgot to take a mirrored self-portrait for my project), the second one- on yucca trees. All these belong to the project "My Life Is a Picture" documenting my life.

About the project:
I wish to look at myself in all reflected streets and places I will be passing by. These self-portraits are inspired by Vivian Maier's self-portraiture: www.vivianmaier.com
Loved the way the light was hitting the grass as it swayed in the wind, tried to capture the sense of movement in the pictures.
Model: Liz
If you hadn't noticed, I've developed a love for anything with movement in it.
-jumps
-hair flips
-dancing
-kicks
-wind catching objects
-throwing things up
yup that's basically my whole stream. haha
And here we have Liz, a very experienced ballerina, and a beach. I just had to :P
Of course, this was very much inspired by a photo by brookeshaden, who is a master of movement :)

Low tide affords some great opportunities to explore under the Memorial Bridge. I decided to shoot this scene using a long exposure to capture some of the movement in the clearing storm clouds overhead. As a result the boat and dock appear quite blurred as the waves moved them around over the course of the exposure.
A1SLT’s new build Peppercorn designed 'A1' 4-6-2 no.60163 ‘Tornado’ heads through a very dull Copmanthorpe with the 1E85 North Road (Darlington) to East Grinstead Sidings movement.
I took around 20 shots of this crate, all very similar apart from the water movement. I chose this as my favourite out of the bunch just down to the patterns in the water. I cropped in tight and cut out the sky just to purely focus on this beautiful washed up crate.

These photos were taken at my friend's trailer late summer this year. It was for another photography project. I had my camera on slow shutter and moved it around in random patterns. They all turned out fairly well. The last one ended up being in the shape of a cross - entirely unintentional mind you... it's pretty crazy!

Unspoiled sand as you follow the tide out, harsh setting sun reflecting off the yellow marker, slap you ND filter on to slow the shutter speed down and you have a deliberate subtle water movement around the base of the Buoy,
