More form the archives....As I work on my FOTOmentor award show "Post Cards From the Vaction that is my Life" I get to relive the best moments. This image of an Alaskan Fjord is a two image handheld pain shot from a zodiac. I was on assignment for American Photo to shoot a piece on curse lines and what they offer. I know I know I have a tough job. So i really wasn't paying attention to the bird I was more about paying attention to not falling into the water.

the Grand Prize was awarded to 田 园园 (Tian Yuan Yuan) from China for this image entitled ‘Break Time’. Congratulations Tian 😊!
‘I was glad I could participate in the #NikonPhotoContest. When I got the notification that I had won, I was surprised but at the same time really honoured. My feelings of gratitude really go out to the #Nikon company, and also to the contests’ management committee as well as the judging committee. I will be sure to keep on doing photography from now on.’
Commenting on this image, Lead Judge, Neville Brody, shares, ‘The main winner this year, is an epic and powerful image, one addressing the global theme of #climatechange and the necessary shift from industrial to less pollutant practises. This image captures that concern in an intense and emotive way, made more poignantly dramatic by being in black and white. The workers in an iron factory are silhouetted through the smoke in the rays of light that break through from the outside of this otherwise unlit space, one that extends into the unknown in the billowing plumes of smoke and darkness at the edge of frame. Through the open door we see a tree and leaves, reminding us of the fragile nature beyond, one which needs our urgent protection. This iconic image can apply anywhere in our world right now: we can imagine this happening as we speak, in Europe or America, Asia or Africa.
Like a scene in a religious painting, the image is beautiful in its use of chiaroscuro, the utilisation of light and dark to tell a story, and has strong echoes with the work of painters like Goya, Caravaggio or Veronese. The framing and structure, while heavily cinematic, is classically Renaissance, with the diagonal lines of light drawing the eye into the centre of frame where the drama is shrouded by the reverse diagonals of smoke. Silhouettes of workers resting by the door merge into the darkness, and the centre of the image is occupied by a single raised tool hovering over a crouched worker while others look on. A solitary electric fan sits by the entrance, evidently incapable of extracting the toxic fumes. Beautiful, dramatic and powerful, I would love to have a large print of this image on my wall!': a thought echoed by the entire jury.

"In absolute spontineity you get absolute truth. The only way you can be when you are spontenious is truthful"
-Viola Spolin
One of the core concepts of improvisational acting is the above quote. I studied acting for 17 years in undergraduate as well as graduate school.
Another core concept, this time from Tad Z. Dainelewski is the concept of hiding in the audience. When you are filming, be it still or motion, someone you want to create an environment in which the subject show the camera the someone they hide from the world.
This image is of the Guitar player Adel Nunes Castillo of Stepteto Habanero.
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 and has a frame rat faster than your nervous system can register.
You can truly create a place when and where 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 with the AMAZING Z9. The Z9 is more camera than I am photographer.
The color version.

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.”
— Diane Arbus
This is an image of the Cuba ballarnia Grettell Lastre Casuso.
Of the greatest lessons I learned studying with the master acting teacher Tad Z. Danielewski was the concept of hiding in the audience. In photography, be it still or motion, the audience is in the camera. Another important life changing lesson was Viola Spolin’s concept of “the space between.” Things happen in the space between actors or in this case the photographer and the subject. If you can slow yourself down to the speed of life and insert a camera in that space you open yourself up to receive the gift of seeing the person that is hidden in plain sight by allowing it to show up in the camera.
Captured with a Z9 for modified infrared. I did a full spectrum conversion and then am using the bayonet filters from Kolarivision. Which means I can have my cake and eat it too. The first element of the lens dictates everything that is going to happen from the quality of the light and resolution of that light. So putting the IR filter at the end of the light path is far better than putting a filter in front of the lens. a full spectrum conversion allows me to bring my camera back to visible spectrum with a different filter as well as having every flavor of IR.

Another portrait of Andrea, one of two models for the #Nikon100 London #NikonMeetups fashion shoot at a fabulous location in West London ( www.shootfactory.co.uk/uk-locations/randolph-london-w9/ ).
My shots might differ from other people's as I didn't use the studio lights provided as my hotshoe was damaged and I couldn't fit the IR commander unit. As a result I had to shoot using only the available natural light, something that has added a bit of extra drama to the shots (and created a bit of a headache in post-production thanks to the extreme contrast......).
Having been selected as one of 100 photographers to take part in the Nikon Centenary celebrations the day involved five seperate themed shoots around different locations in London. All in all it was a superbly organised event and I captured a wide variety of shots, some in genres I've not much experience.

The one thing Cuba has in abundance is old iron. As someone who appreciates old iron (I own a 1964 R69s BMW motorcycle)and appreciates what it takes to keep vintage mechanical things running, I have developed a fascination with the art of it's design. UI shot this image for trips ago.
D850, 105mm Nano coated Nikkor lens

I have been some remote placeless but.......
This is from my most recent trip to Myanmar. 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 at the main festival. Burmise children just melt my heart.

More from the archives....As I work on my FOTOmentor award show "Post Cards From the Vaction that is my Life" I get to relive the best moments. This image of a blue Agave that I would see four or five times a day as I walked by it by my very first LA studio. I shot this with a prototype Nikon D1 and a 70-210mm D series lens back in the day. This was one of the test files used during the beta testing of Nikon Capture software to post process .NEF files. Keep in mind this is from in 1998.

The Moment I opened the window of my room and looked to the right.
I bit the bullet and modified a Z9 for infrared. I did a full spectrum conversion and then am using the bayonet filters from Kolarivision. Which means I can have my cake and eat it too. THe first element of the lens dictates everything that is going to happen from the quality of the light and resolution of thar light. So putting the IR filter at the end of the light path is far better than putting a filter in front of the lens. a full spectrum conversion allows me to bring my camera back to visible spectrum with a different filter as well as having every flavor of IR....coool....

Here is another image from the archive and one of my all time favorite images. as I work on my FOTOmentor award show. The was shot with a D300 as part of the release campaign advatorial. I was in Vietnam again during Monsoon season. A rainstorm of biblical proportion had decided it was time. I ran into a tea and snacks shop to get out of the rain. Camera was on the tripod so I decided to play with the "new" features. Which for me was live view. Set the camera up. and magic happened. The two kids had no idea I was actually taking a picture. I was allowed to watch the moment before the the straw was fired....

I shot this image whilst on assignment for American Photo Magazine to shoot and write an article about the opening up of Myanmar. I shot this image 4;30am Nyaung Chaungtha along the Irrawadddy river. The plan was to travel up river during monsoon season to a remote village. The trip took three days. D3 auto Iso and the 28-300mm lens. This is the image in color.
This is another from the review process of my server and and trying get to all the files I have decided to work on during the first edit but have never gotten to. Usually the amount of time I have to do any post on a gig is the flight back home and maybe there days after I hit stateside before the next adventure takes me. I decided to take this summer to try and catch up on images I have always wanted to process.
Image was post processed with Capture NXD, Photoshop CC 2017, Nik collection by Google and onOnesoftware.

Post Cards from the vacation that is my life.
This from my most recent trip to Myanmar.
To hard fast beliefs I have first don't take pictures be taken by your pictures and second an interesting plains is the mot difficult thing to achieve. I love images where I a m captured bt a moment in which the subject of my image chooses to hide in my camera. I love images where I capture the space between moments. I basically fall in love about a 1000 times a day. usually for about a 125th of a sec. I really don't believe in long relationships or long exposures.

More from my way back in the day when there was some art and skill involved shooting headshots vs. today where it has evolved to something that is a cross between a passport photo, DMV and a yearbook picture rant.
This is the headshot of the actress Marcia Cross. If ever there wa a person that I hope gets everything they deserve it is her. The best way to describe her presence and spirit is "precious" and a "gift"
.
I shot this with a Nikon F5 a Nikkor 70-210Dmm lens, a Westcott Sunlight reflector, and Iford HP5+ rated at 200iso. I reshot the negative with a bellows and the D810 and Silverfast software.

This an image of the actor David Arquette, I shot this images in between takes of the movie Saving Flora. Mr. Arquette was one of the most giving actors I have worked with. He was always anticipating what I was going to need and showed up with the "goods" right when I realized I needed it. . Talented is an understatement. He was a compelling to watch act.

Doing the first level edits today of my latest trip to Cuba. This image was shot with the Nikon Z7 and the the 24-70mm s Series lens. I was just walking by and this car took me. I suppose I registered somewhere that the car was color coordinated to the building. I frequently do not realize what I have actually shot until I am sitting in front of the monitor in the studio. I feel like I have a hand on my back gently pushing forward when I shoot.

Thundering in my head; the sound of silence overwhelms.
—Roderick L. Evans
This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba.
Life happens even when we have other plans. We start out with our plan A for life, but somehow we find ourselves live our plan who’s letter is much further down the alphabet,
As melancholy as witnessing those moments there is a poetry to it for those who catch a glimpse of them. Just like a fish does not know he is in the ocean he also does not see the outcome of the overwhelming sound of silence in the ocean of noise.
I shot this with the 28-400mm f 4-8 Nikkor lens. 1/250 of a second ISO 140. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

I love images where I a m captured bt a moment in which the subject of my image chooses to hide in my camera. I love images where I capture the space between moments.

Once a day at 4:30pm the gates are opened to a small lake and the people from the surrounding area are allowed to gather water. At 5:30pm the gates are closed. he belief being that this lake has the best tasting water. No-one fights, no on cuts in line, no one sneaks in durning the day or at night. I just can't see that happening in my neighborhood of Silverlake.

I shot this during the Presidio Project with a prototype Nikon D1x and a protype 80-400mm Nikkor lens. The were tearing down an old warehouse to put up some modern marvel that most likely looks like the inside of an old washing machine. It was the time of the dot com KAAABOOM right after the Dot com boom. I was commissioned by th rPresidio Trust to photograph the recently decommissioned San Francisco Presidio. The oldest military base in history. It was commissioned in 1776. I had just finished two gigs one as the Artist in Residence at Altamira Group (the inventors of Genuine Fractals, I was employee number 6) and the other ads the Advisor to the President of Kodak on digital imaging. I was hired by NiK Software (employee number 2) to be the test pilot for their soon to be released version 1 of the software. I was blessed to be offered the chance to photograph a recently minted national recreation area/park (the Presidio). What a far cry living a 1440 acre park in the middle of San Francisco. My studio was still up and running in Los Angeles and I was all over the place. But back to this image I had a two seater convertible at the time and as I was driving back to my house in the Presidio to beat the rain I ran over a nail and got a flat in from t of the image you see here. I shot this whilst waiting for AAA and in the rain. I came back two days later when there was sun (a rare area in SF) and there was no wall left.

From my "2_DO" folder collection Burma section:
I am building, for lack of a better description, a hard rive farm to augment my 98TB server. Sooooo as I go through the existing drives a found a rather large folder of "tO DO' files from my trips to Burma (Myanmar).
This IR image was shot from a speeding boat (speeding being relative) on Inlee Lake. One of my most favorite places in the world to be.
Shot with a Nikon D800 24-120mm Nani coated Nikkor lens.

I shot this image whilst on assignment for American Photo Magazine to shoot and write an article about the opening up of Myanmar. According to Jay Maisel light, gesture and color are three of the four key elements of any image. I shot this image just after sunrise in Kengtung village market. D3 auto Iso and the 28-300mm lens. This is the image in Chromatic Grayscale.
This is another from the review process of my server and and trying get to all the files I have decided to work on during the first edit but have never gotten to. Usually the amount of time I have to do any post on a gig is the flight back home and maybe there days after I hit stateside before the next adventure takes me. I decided to take this summer to try and catch up on images I have always wanted to process.
Image was post processed with Capture NXD, Photoshop CC 2017, Nik collection by Google and onOnesoftware. Converted with the Oz 2 Kansas BW conversion.

I am practicing for my conversational portrait class in a few weeks. I I can get a portrait of a cat, I can get a portrait of Mark Jaress (the man who taught me photoshop) Then I can take a portrait of anything.
I shot this with the Nikon Zf and the 135mm Plena. Raw file processed in NX Studio NiK collection Silver Efex Pro v7 in Photoshop beta.

Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise.

It is the absolute spontaneity of the moment that gives a photograph that it is the moment between moments on the way to the next moment that creates the sensation of motion that is frozen time.
This is another image of the trumpet player Rolando Lara.
This image was captured with the Nikon Zf and the 50mm f/1.2 Nikkor. The Zf is the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and Nikkor optics are just a visual pleasure to look through wilst I shoot. Nobody does In focus to blur as well as Nikon does.

Post Cards from the vacation that is my life. the "I have been some remote placeless but....... " section
This is from my most recent trip to Myanmar. 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.
There are approximately 95 Naga Tribes in Nagaland. They are a hunter gatherer / slash and burn culture. Up to 1985 they were headhunters and and practiced cannibalism. Which would give me pause if I was told they want me over for lunch. The New year's festival is in part a celebration to comrade the ending of those practices and the embracing of a more spiritual path. This is the warrior Ko Khar Nuu ( San Pya village)
Shot with the fabulous Z6 28-300mm F series with FTZ adaptor.

I shot this image of the Shwedagon Pagoda, in Yangon Myanmar, at sunset with a D600 and the 28-300mm lens. It was the first day in Yangon on a workshop I was asked to lead for the Palm Beach Photographic Centre. This was the 141st image from the camera that I had literally received the day before I left for Myanmar. This was the camera that I discovered that from this point forward auto ISO was the wa yto go with street photography. I am going through a review process of my server and and trying get to all the files I have decided to work on during the first edit but have never gotten to. Usually the amount of time I have to do any post on a gig is the flight back home and maybe there days after I hit stateside before the next adventure takes me.

When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls!”
– Ted Grant
This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba.
I always get asked these four questions: Do you see in black and white, can you teach me how to see in black and white, how do you know when an image is supposed to be a black and white and how come your blacks and white images look better than my black and white images.
Then I heard and read a lot of noise about how it’s all about contrast, contrast light and dark and contrast. Or basically the person positing and exposing these thoughts does not really have a clue.
In the film days when you put black and white film in the camera you saw the image in color and the film recorded it in grayscale base off a specific tonal production curve unique to the flavor of film that was in the camera. SO every image was black and white.
So what makes an image a successful black and white? It comes down to the three core elements (according to Jay Maisel or the four key elements according to me, because I cannot leave well enough alone), Light, Gesture and Color (Jay’s) and time (mine). According to Jay Light and Color are obvious but it is Gesture that is the most important, Gesture that is the most telling.
SO the equation for when an image wants/needs to become a black and white is when the color of the image distracts from the gesture of the image.
For example this image, the colors a lovely, but the truly distract from the gesture of the dancers which is beautiful and timeless.
The point? I have never met an image did not know or tell me that it was wanting to be a black and white image. The gesture of the image will always let you know. As to the rest of it being light a nd dark and contrast contrast and more contrast? That really is the after thought and holds true for both color and black and white.

If you get too close, you’ll become poetry
-Xien
From my three weeks in Namibia—
I shot 27525 captures. That is after pitching the Beverly out of focus ones and the ones where the camera decided to take a picture whilst I was walking.
I chose this one because I have been repeatedly been asked “how how close did you get?”
This close. About 12 feet. This is at 260mm on the 100-400mm S Nikkor. If I got any closer I would not become poetry, I’d be lunch.
The system in which I came up with to not have to bring a laptop and be able to back all my images up with my ipad. Worked swimmingly. I shot on Delkin black 850 & 150gb cards. Which is the key to all of this fast read and fast downloads. I brought three 4tb Sandisk Blade drives. I used the Lexar WorkflowGo2. I was very hesitant to buy anything Lexar. I have had less than stellar luck with their cards. That said the workflowGo did the job.
This is one of a bazillion Lion captures I have. I have images of Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Caracals, Elephants, Hippos, Rhinos, Water Buffalo, Wildebeests, two types of Baboons, two types of Zebra, Brown Hyenas, Wild Dogs, Warthogs, Oryx, Mongoose, Read Heart beast, Springbok, Sable, Eland, Black Faced Impala, Impala, Crocodiles, Kudo, Waterbuck, Dik-Dik (so I did take Dik-Dik pics), Steenbok,Scrub Hare, Rock Hyrax, Side Winder snakes, African Ground Squirrels, Cape Penguin and so many birds I can’t even begin to name them and those are just the animals I can remember.
AND to answer the next question YES I will be organizing a workshop there.
Shot with the Nikon Z6II using the 100- 400mm S lens with the 1.4 Tele converter. Post processed wit NX Studio and Photoshop CC Beta.and DxO’s NiKcollection plug-ins.

Sorry it’s been a minute since I last posted. Things in Los Angeles have been taking my attention away from posting and post processing my images.
With that said-
One of the core tenants of my work is this: Practice does not make perfect, a perfect practice makes perfect.You have to practice of practicing. Which is why I always am practicing at practicing.
The ultimate pursuit is the pursuit of attaining the Zen state of Shibumi- effortless perfection and elegance. A state of doing that is thoughtful thoughtless thought. Practice like you have never won and preform like you have never lost. Mastery is the variation of repetition over time.
I was taken by this image, as is true with all my images, as I was walking to a a performance rehearsal of the next ballet to be staged by the National Cuban Ballet. I this this empty practice room the space was filled with the ballerina. Her focus was so strong I felt it as I walked by and had to step back and let her take me to where she was.
Every issue of an image needs to be solved at moment of capture. I realized that the image of her needed to be in a space big enough to show how she filed it. So I took a second shot that showed the the left side of the rehearsal room. I don’t believe in cropping images. I shoot 99% of my images full frame.
I shot this with the Z6III NIKKOR 28-400mm f/4-8 lens. 1/1250 of a second ISO 1800. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

From the "TO_DO" archives....
When you are stuck in airports because of weather delays you can either bemoan your fate or you can post process pictures...
Iso here is more of my "Street walking" photography, seeing the world at eye level and at the speed of life.
IIt this case I am photographing a procession of "mini" monks or there morning walk for food from the residence of the village. Buddhist monks are not allowed to handle money and have to be given the gift of food to eat. A monk has three robes. The one he has on, the one he wore yesterday and the one he will tomorrow he washes the other two. In Thailand the monks wear robes dyed with saffron. In Burma the robes are dyed with Jackfruit.

When you see the moment and the moment takes you...take the moment.
