Walking in the city centre of Riva del Garda, Lake Garda, Italy,

Wherever I am I always chase after sunsets. I do not earn money, but the pay is very good.

Unfortunately the kings do not have time to contemplate it, the gods if we can.

I frequently, for lack of a better word, get "accused" of being in publications that I have never been in. This is image is the one I am frequently been told was there favorite National Geographic cover. I have always wanted to be a National Geographic photographer....

Again the story behind the image is different than the image portrays. I was at a used camel lot (I'm not making that up) photographing camels. I saw this man I looked at him, held my camera up which is the universal sign for "can I take a picture of you?" he waved is hand in a "no" gesture. As I turned away a large male camel and I were face to face. The Male camel was in "ready to rut" mode and proceeded to slime me with the foulest smelling slime/goo/slobber/goo I have had the misfortune to ever smell. Let alone be coated with. Apparently female camels find this 'scent" attractive. This was the Bedouin who had just turned me down for a photograph's camel who has now just confused me for a girl camel.e rushes over shoos the horny beast away and looks at me now covered in camel goo, which is dripping off my nose, glasses, camera. Trying to stifle a laugh, he gives me a nod that is now "ok" to take his picture. This is tat picture. I had to be hosed down from head to toe before I could get back on the bus.

This image was captured during my American Photo Mentor Trek workshop to Egypt. with a Nikon D2x camera at 200iso with a 70-210 mm VR II lens using the Nikon electronic file format (.Nef) Shot on Lexar 16 gigabyte Flash media.

File was post processed using capture NX software. All additional post work was done in Photoshop CC using Nik Collection by DxO Color Efex Pro plugins.

This is from my most recent trip to Myanmar. Just before the pandemic ended my travel plans for awhile... I traveled 36 hours of flying (not including layovers) then 16 hours by 4 wheel drive to travel 58 miles in to the mountains of Nagaland to attend the New Years festival. This image was captured whilst standing in the shade of one hut watching the man in the other hut watching what all the commotion was from the visitors that drove two hour drive by 4 wheel drive to see his hut.

Shot with the fabulous Z6 28-300mm Nikkor f series lens with the FTZ adaptor. Post processed with Capture NXd and the NiK collection colorefex Pro in Photoshop CC

This is an image from my last trip to Cuba. This is another image of the dancer Indira. It is a joy to work with Cuban dancers.

I don’t speak a lick of Spanish, unless you count knowing how to ask where the rest room is and how to order my favorite rum. For me photography has always been about slowing down to the speed of life.

Unbeknownst to Indira I matched my breath rhythm to hers and then slowly lowered the pace of our breaths. Somewhere between here and there this is where we found ourselves.

shooitng the Z9 in silent mode with a remote trigger allows for a place when the camera is not I th way. This is an extremely powerful tool because the shutter click gives up the most that the camera has taken a picture. Without that click, that simple little sound, the subject frequently forgets that there is a camera taking a picture.

I find the stage and the players come.

-- Robert Doiseau

Ansel Adams was famous for never taking a picture of something he could not drive to. He went so far as to have a platform built atop of the roof of his car. I know these two statements to be true because when I was photographing the San Francisco Presidio project for a year and a half, I did portraits of Ed Wayburn. Ansel’s driver back in the day. But that tale is for another time.

I took the trolley, or one just like it, that is the subject of this image to shoot the view from the top of one of the six hills of Lisboa, specifically Miradouro das Portas do Sol. Which means "the view of the door of the sun. Well with a name like that AND there is a trolley to it.... I'm good.

So I get to to the top and there is a cafe with a bar and it serves snacks and has tables. I am really good. I order a pingato, a "snack" and a 10yr Graham's tawny port and grab a chair, as I look up the street i see that i have found the stage. So I set up my tripod and camera plant my self and wait for a trolley in the fog. Based on prior experience why I never take pictures of trolleys in Portugal that I can't find the perfect stage picture sit, have a snack, a coffee and an aged port whilst waiting for the players to arrive. I learn from the masters

The roads, however intricate they may be at some point, will be cross. Even so, only one person per day walks him.

I am in Cuba (again) this time with the Nikon D5. this is the start of the ballet shoot. This is one of the ballerina warming up.

So so if you want to know why I choose to light with a thermonuclear device instead do a battery powered light source. Now you know.

However...... There is no image I cannot capture. The ability of this camera to shoot in lighting conditions so dark that you have to to image that there is light to provide illumination. Spot on color, speed touch screen focus in live view. Whoa..... Because of the D5 I AM: A Super Hero.

I frequently get asked when do you know an image is meant to be a black and white image? I have heard a lot of long winded silliness about the math of it. the short answer: when the color of the image becomes a distraction to the gesture of the image.

WHAT A WEEK I JUST HAD!! IMAGE 2\

From the "I taught my first time out Backyard Fine Art Class via Zoom" collection. A four camera Zoom shoot done as a one man band. Up at 5am every morning. Nine different setups, Focus shift capture (which this is) using the 105mm.f2.8 S Micor Nikkor. If Forrest Gump owned this lens he say "IF Jenny was a lens she' be this lens". Holy tack sharp glass batman!

But what a blast I had!! What a bunch to troopers the class was talk about commitment!

I can't wait to teach this class again (the up at BMNT I could do without) but watching the students get it was something I live for.

From my most recent trip to Cuba

Art is not a reflection of reality, it is the reality of a reflection. -- Jean Luc Godard

I shot this image whilst walking down the mountain to see the sunrise over the Vignales valley in Cuba. It was a 2 mile walk with an 800 meter almost 90 degree upward "hike" with two cameras, four lenses and a tripod in 80 degree heat (and the sun had not risen yet). I was soaked in sweat and not caffeinated at all at this point of the journey down the mountain.

In a moment of pause (to catch my breath) I stopped and just took in the wonder of the calm of the moment. In that momentary pause this image took me.

I now know what purgatory feels like.

Light travel an inch every two minutes.

Walking the streets of Yangon, The sun was just starting to set, I saw the sunlight hit a window across the street and hit the street where this woman was sitting selling fruit. I did a quick calculation an between 15 and 25 minutes would put the light where I needed it to be.

This is a color capture captured with a Nikon D70. This is also one of my most favorite images

SERVER TRAVELING : The Fine Art of Time Travel

This is a misplaced image. It was processed to be worked on. But wound up in a folder labeled FLOWERS_MAYBE_2_DO. I do remember freezing my ass off being rained on and it was one those rare moments at tunnel view where no one was there because they were shiner than I was. There was a brief moment of a break in the clouds. the sun hit the water fall and then the water really fell from the sky. I was complaining to my self at the the time. I can promise you I will never complain again . I sooooo look forward to being able to be somewhere else as I am sure we all do than the post stamp of a piece of land that is my current lil'slice of heaven.

As if glimpsing a danger, this little spider protects its prey in my presence.

A gentle breeze, a calm river and a dreamy afternoon. Can you ask for something more to life?

Art is long. Life is short.

—Hippocrates

I am going to go a little way out to come back to the point of the thought that goes with the image.

I shot this image in a place you can no longer go, The Rahkine region of Myanmar. I was on assignment for American Photo magazine, We were in a boat on the Irrawaddy river during Monsoon season we were hit with a burst of rain so strong that we frantically had to get to shore so we would not sink, we ran to first hut we could find where a family was huddled in the same situation we were.

The composer Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away on the day I “re-found” this image in one of the, come to find out, Numerous “2_DO” folders I have created over the years that I have forgotten about creating. I happened to be listening to Ryuicihi Sakamoto’s album Coda, a piano treatment of the soundtrack he composed for the movie Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.

Track 13, Last Regrets, and perhaps my favorite track on the album, had just started as news of Mr. Sakamoto’s passing came up as an alert. The first record I ever owned was Meet the Beatles. The cover just blew m away at the tender age of 6. I drove my parents crazy about only wanting to wear turtle necks and I particularly drove my father nuts by always wanting to have him play the album. Repeatedly. But I digress….

I’ve been fascinated with the light play of the portraits of the Beatles in the cover art. I believe the music I listen to influences the quality of the images I post process. I believe that we should acquire knowledge not as absolutes but as grains of thought that find each other through the course of human events that coalesce in to a beach of creativity.

Art is long. Life is short was Ryuichi Sakamoto’s favorite quote. Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

Another infrared image from my latest trip to Cuba working on my Cuba: Turning the Last Page of 1962 book project . This image was shot with a Nikon Z7 modified by lifepixel.com to shoot infrared and the the 24-120mm with the FTZ adaptor. This other corner of the street where I stayed for this trip. I was on my way to caffeinate and I almost was a hood ornament. Once again proving I shoot before I look.

Rare specimen of a common species in the area. He knew how to show his difference with others.

Shot this image in class yesterday at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre's Backyard Fine Art class I am teaching this week. It is a near focus (which means that the nearest object is at the very edge of the beginning of focus for the 85mm f1.8 Nikkor S lens. It was shot using a Nikon Z9 in focus shift mode. One pass at f 1.8 and one pass at f5.6, which is critical aperture for this lens. I use two white balance presets, cloudy and incandescent . Cloudy produced a warmer image incandescent a cooler image. I also shot set one stop unde. I then stacked the images in Photoshop (I used 20 out of the 75 I shot per) mixed this cocktail up, shaken not stirred ansd this is the outcome.

Cool...huh

Ambedo (noun): A kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—briefly soaking in the experience of being alive, an act that is done purely for its own sake.

THis trip was bitter sweet s I have sad at the beginning. I photographed this woman walking down the street in 2018. I photographed her on the trip in 2022. It was a pure moment of Ambedo.

An island of light still lingering in the ever encroaching sea of darkness.

"I go and get the camera and do it. Photography is a medium in which if you don’t do it then, very often you don’t do it at all, because it doesn’t happen twice.”

– Paul Strand

Something I just do, or I should say I do now and for a long time, is when I am in the field I always take a picture out the window of where I am staying. It's something my mentor, Jay Maisel alays does when he travels. I thought at the time "well why not" and for a long tmefelt a little silly doing it for doing it's sake. Then As I got my head out of my butt about it I really started to see the world. When I didn't do it I'd spend the day tinking about what I saw and thought I'l be sure to do it tommorw but the image never came back and all I had of the prior morning was a cyberchrome.

So this is a shot on the first day out my window playing with all my new toys in cuba befor my foirst cup of coffee. I have seen this view over the course of 15 years and I am amazed that the image shows up everytime and I was simi-conscious enough to let it take me.

There is a powerful advantage to a camera that can focus at the speed of life and that is more silent than a breath held expectant. You can truly create a place when the spirt of the subject can hide in your camera.

There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering.

Shot this image on the last day my Palm Beach Photographic Burma workshop was at Inle Lake. Traveled to this village on Inle lake in a long boat that is maybe 3-4 inches above the water in complete darkness. TO get to the this particular village was about a 3 hour boat ride one way.

You know when someone is looking at you from behind you? that feeling you get? So every time I would turn around this little boy would dart back into his house. I spent a good 10 minutes playing hide and seek. However I had 400mm lens... SO I win
