detail from a collection of 'exploratory sketches' for an exhibition of videos by Grazia Toderi, on display till Oct 31st, 2010 within one of the beautiful exhibition spaces at the Serralves Foundation Museum, Porto, Portugal
It was a sudden and intense sunset, so I wanted to capture it. The first location is where I should have stayed in hindsight, but this shot is nonetheless a great representation of the beaches of Cornwall at sunset.
As I think back over the past year one of my most memorable trips was to the Subway in Zion National Park. This is a place I definitely want to revisit but with so many beautiful places on this Earth it will have to it will just have to wait it's turn!
I typically use some hdr in my images but the light was uniform enough in the Subway itself that this one is from a single raw exposure.

Street sculpture and tile wall. The original work of art is called "Progression". I shot it down the length of the sculpture with the sun to the left. The tiles at the far left are from the wall of the building and the yellow-green and yellow-red colors contrast with the blue of the sculpture.
Got in a bit closer for this one and used 'live composite' mode to get the length. This is a great feature on the OM-1 that lets you catch 'sneak peaks' of how the long exposure is progressing at set intervals.

A person, who values the beauty of nature and ambient in the world, far richer and happier than those, who did not notices this.

Here's another slide I just recently had scanned. This one is from early November just as the leaves were falling off the trees. I started hiking early in the morning and just happened to be at a few of the right spots at the right times to catch some classic glowing light. It had been a longtime goal of mine to shoot some 6x17 slides of the narrows and I'm really happy with the result. For some reason though, I still can't seem to find a white/color balance that looks right to me in this photo, but I think I'm done working on it for a while. I might revisit it in a few weeks to see if I want to make any changes.

Me: this isn't your new do either! Don't worry. We're just PREPARING for your new hair.
Miss M: Well it can't look much worse that this! ... can it?
ICM, intentional camera movement, removes details not needed and simplifies the necessary elements. Color was distracting here so it went too. What's left are framing lines and patterns that contain the two walking figures. High contrast adds strength with good definition. Light reveals and hides in a wondrous way.

The Matryoshka Doll in Russian Culture. To non-Russians, the matryoshka, or nesting doll, is one of the most quintessential representations of traditional Russian peasant life. It appears to foreign eyes as a relic of quaint serf culture.
A series of images from the total lunar eclipse of August 28, 2007 that I have combined into one image. I didn't really plan to do this ahead of time, so the shots aren't spaced chronologically terribly well (gap in time is different between some of the shots). But this was a fun and fairly easy to do. We had a wonderfully clear night and I could see the moon straight from the window...didn't even have to go outside!
