I was born to the magic. We all were, though some realize it more often than others. When I walk past the homes of our neighborhood, I see the flicker of television static, hear the sound of music and petty arguments, while all along outside, the moon is white and the skies are wide, and I'm feeling my most alive.
While I walk, it's rare to pass another adventurer. Sometimes, it's a four-wheeler on the old railbed, or a smoker seeking fresh air, unaware of the inherent irony. I wave when I spot a stranger, wonder if they recognize me, and keep moving. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a stranger myself. I might be, though I've been here for my version of forever. 1987, I was born in Soldier's Memorial Hospital in Middleton, and they carried me home soon after to Bridgetown, where I've lived ever since. These days, I carry myself down silent streets on moonswept nights, reminding myself that home is where the stars are.
It doesn't take much to settle my soul, just an empty sky and the flickering shine of distant suns will do it for me. I can belong anywhere that isn't crowded down with light pollution. I need to open my eyes wide and let in every ounce of brightness the darkness can offer.
When I was young, my grandfather used to drive me in his truck across this bridge, thump-thumping on the railroad ties as I looked over nervously to the river below. Now he's gone, and I'm less nervous, still walking around and trying to capture my desperate little bits of adventure. My grandfather loved Bridgetown as much as I do. That's why he settled here, built a house on the hillside, looking down on the valley. Standing 6'4" and with an overdeveloped sense of self, that was one of his strong points (looking down on things). I inherited all his best and worst qualities, and that keeps me humble when I think too highly of me.
Bob Skafte is gone – gone like the railroad, gone like my childhood. But that wild, vibrant joy is still full in heart, still wild in the margins of his town and mine. It tells me to open up, share strange thoughts, be passionate, put it all on the line in this brokedown town. There's a wealth of mystic magic for those that stick around...

I am developing a new body of work focusing on Black & White conversions of some of my favorite images from the past twelve years. This image was captured during the golden hour leading up to sunset in Glacier National Park, Montana. B&W conversion using NIK Silver Efex Pro 2.

i was really bummed that i didn't have my macro to shoot these amazing icicles.
they looked like glitter sticks that held all sorts of magic.
The Magic Kingdom Orlando with magical Susan 2009. We were driving from Key West Florida to Virginia Beach in Virginia and decided to have a two night stopover in Orlando. I only took a few photos
With the Wishes fireworks show being retired, I felt the need to post this from a few years ago, as shot from the Disney transportation center on the other side of the 7 seas lagoon.

No morning shooting on the busy Wilmslow Road corridor would be complete without getting a glimpse of 'Magic Bodge' Dennis Trident 18284.
Those Alexander ALX400 headlights really don't do it any favours whatsoever!

This is intentionally slightly overexposed. I like the bright look of the storefronts.
a friend from high school brought her kids out to my house tonight & they all threw paint at each other.
it's exactly what i needed to unwind and dig myself out of the rut i've been in for months.
Just got back last night from a 7 day Caribbean cruise aboard the Disney Magic.
This is a shot of one of the smoke stacks on the top deck of the ship. It was a downright gorgeous day. We just boarded the ship so there was hardly anyone around yet.
I knew that it was going to be a cloudless sunset, but I went anyway. While strolling up and down this pebble beach at Lunada Bay to settle in, I paid attention in particular to the ubiquitous amount of seaweed that washed up on the shore and decorated the beach like fallen leaves at a park in the fall. These translucent algae were illuminating while the sun was gently caressing the ocean surface with its magic hour touch.
About time for another William upload, he currently thinks that he can turn the lights on and off by blowing at them, i think we have a mischievous grandparent to thank for that little 'magic' trick :) but it made for a great photo opportunity and makes us laugh so i'm not complaining.
Taken with the 50mm at f1.8 to create the shallow dof i was after, also took another frame with just the hand in focus but this one conveys 'magic' more to me. Quite high ISO (1600) and relatively slow shutter speed (1/160) as it was dark except for the one electric light overhead.
Got rubbish internet connection this morning, lots of wind and rain here overnight and it looks like some gremlins have got in the system, might not be around much till thats sorted.
