I took this capture of a very focused photographer who was trying to taking a shot of a lonesome swan
La fotógrafa (o así), está prendada de la meta... metatodo y, desde la puerta del Café Doré quería fotografiar al fotógrafo que desde la calle fotografiaba a dos fotógrafos que estaban sentados debajo de sus fotografías.
Pero a la fotógrafa se le cruzó una escena que no quiso perderse (dos novios en tenso amor y un perro en tenso desamor) y cuando quiso darse cuenta la escena pretendida ya no estaba.
Así que giró la cámara hacia dentro y se encontró... con más “meta” todavía.
Esto es: la fotógrafa (o así) fotografía a los fotógrafos que posan debajo de sus fotografías mientras observan la fotografía que un fotógrafo les ha hecho desde la calle posando debajo de sus fotografías mientras la fotógrafa fotografiaba a dos novios, un perrito y medio amo.
"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed in 2010 -12, the “liners” are made out of paper (Din A4) ,
oil paint and graphite, the theme are the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers."

The Lettered Aracari (Pteroglossus inscriptus), photographed in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia, highlights the beauty of this colorful bird against a lush backdrop. With its striking yellow belly and vibrant bill, it presents an incredible contrast to the green tones of its environment. The photo was captured in low light, requiring careful attention to shutter speed and ISO settings. The Canon R5 paired with an 800mm f/11 lens and 1.4x extender enabled a detailed shot at 1120mm, despite the challenges.
I set the shutter speed to 1/60 of a second, almost pushing the limits of my equipment due to the dim conditions. The ISO was capped at 1600 to maintain the fine details in the shadows of the bird’s feathers without introducing too much noise. The R5’s stabilization played a crucial role, allowing me to achieve a sharp and detailed image despite the low light. This delicate balance between technical settings and respect for the bird’s natural behavior helped me capture the aracari’s magnificence in a way that truly represents the vibrant biodiversity of Colombia.

I've unfortunately been drawn to read some of the recent nauseating articles about the metaverse hype. Discussions of how "luxury brands" can expect to profit handsomely since... obviously... people will just NEED to buy Gucci shoes and the like for their avatars and other metaverse "possessions." Ridiculously enough, plots of real estate are already selling for multi-millions. (Yes, let's pause to reflect on the irony of the term REAL estate, as it is used so seriously in these metaverse descriptions)
Ugh. I'm not exactly a Neanderthal and am sure there will be legitimate and worthy uses of this platform, but leave it to humanity to immediately dive in and rush to make it an inconsequential space for meaningless preening. Another world for profiteering is what's on the mind for the creators, I assure you... not the empty platitudes about connecting people. The "connections" will largely be ranting, bullying, polarized factions. Good luck controlling that.
"We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed
This is the time when the lie is revealed
Everything is possible but nothing is real"
~ Vernon Reid (1989)

The Great Potoo (Nyctibius grandis) is a true master of camouflage, blending seamlessly into its surroundings with its bark-like plumage. This image was taken in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia, just a few blocks from the central park during an urban photo walk. Despite being in a bustling town, this nocturnal bird remained perfectly still, relying on its cryptic pattern to avoid detection. Capturing it in daylight was a rare opportunity to showcase its remarkable adaptations.
Photographed using a Canon R5 with an 800mm f/11 lens and a 1.4x extender, I set my exposure to 1/180 sec, f/16, and ISO 1600 to balance sharpness and depth of field while maintaining enough light for a well-exposed shot. The soft, diffused lighting filtering through the canopy helped bring out the intricate feather details without harsh shadows. This encounter was a reminder that incredible wildlife can thrive even in unexpected urban spaces, making conservation awareness even more essential.

Captured in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia, this image features the Straight-billed Woodcreeper (Dendroplex picus) in its natural habitat. The bird’s rich brown plumage and striking features are beautifully highlighted as it clings to the tree, showcasing its unique adaptations for climbing. The blurred background offers a soft, natural bokeh effect, allowing the bird to remain the focal point of the composition. The subject’s sharp textures are in stark contrast to the soft greenery surrounding it.
Technically, I used a Canon R5 with a long lens setup, taking full advantage of the 800mm f/11 lens with a 1.4x extender to achieve a detailed and crisp image at a distance. The lighting was soft, giving the bird’s feather patterns a smooth and natural appearance. The photo was taken at 1/180 sec to ensure sharpness and minimize motion blur, while I manually selected an ISO of 1600, balancing the need for proper exposure with the fine details in the shadowed parts of the image. The overall composition reflects my goal of capturing this bird’s natural beauty while minimizing distractions in the background.

A typically delicate encounter between male & female. There is a prey item trussed up between them too, but its not visible in this shot.
Sorry Phoebe!
