at last, a sunny day and some light to work with, so a walk to to the wild corner and some damp grass for my daily picture
The heavy grey sky pulled out the aqua in the sea. I love a day like this as the sea always looks surreal in this bonnie aqua colour.
How really beautiful life really is. An inexplicable feeling. It has no anchor in the reality in which we now live. But surely there are also realities other than those one reads about in the paper and hears in the thoughtless and inflamed talk of frightened people? There is also the reality of that small rose-red cyclamen and of the wide horizon one can keep on rediscovering behind all the noise and confusion of the times. (ET 2002, 450)

Light breaks through the morning fog that has enveloped the redwood forest along the Damnation Creek trail.

While this scene may appear that it was taken "in the wild," in actuality it was only about 200 yards from camp. Having easy access to this area over two days allowed me to return time and again to see it differently under various conditions. Often with Landscape Photography, we explore a location having a preconceived idea in mind, but in most cases must switch gears and react to the circumstances we're presented with. On this occasion, the visualized concept came to life with a little patience and of course, a bit of luck.

Artist Biography
Born in Seattle, Washington, to a photojournalist father and a music teacher mother, Cate Infinity was immersed in the arts from an early age. At sixteen, she was discovered at Pike Place Market and began a modeling career that took her from the fashion capitals of Milan and Tokyo to the creative heart of New York City, where she ultimately laid down roots.
Cate’s early fascination with the camera - shaped by memories of watching her father work - eventually drew her behind the lens. She earned a degree in filmmaking from NYU, and while commercial projects initially shaped her direction, she gravitated toward still photography. This shift allowed her to explore composition and emotion through a more intimate and enduring frame.
Cate’s signature style is marked by spontaneity and authenticity. Rather than relying on heavy post-processing, she embraces strategic lighting, rich textures, and unconventional subjects to tell visual stories. This intuitive approach extends into her work both in the physical world and in Second Life, where the boundaries of photography and digital art blur.
In the whimsical realm of Cate Infinity's Second Life photography, the virtual becomes a canvas for dreamlike transformation. Her eye for the surreal turns avatars into expressive figures, their gestures and forms animated by narrative and nuance. Through her lens, gravity yields, color bursts into harmony, and time unfolds like breath. Reality and imagination merge fluidly - each image a window into the extraordinary.
Aside from photography, Cate is also passionate about experimenting with a wide range of visual techniques - from abstract and conceptual photography to painterly explorations that push the boundaries between mediums. This creative restlessness feeds her evolving aesthetic and deepens the emotional and visual resonance of her work.
Outside of her visual art practice, Cate is the founder and producer of The Refuge Productions, a creative engine behind some of the grid’s most imaginative and immersive experiences. With acclaimed projects such as LynchLand, Drone Haven, and countless other eccentric events, she has built a reputation for pushing artistic boundaries and curating spaces where innovation and community collide.
Whether grounded in the tactile world or the ethereal dimensions of the virtual, Cate Infinity’s work celebrates the strange, the spontaneous, and the sublime. Her collaborations with other artists continue to enrich her practice, weaving a vibrant, ever-evolving tapestry of connection and creation.

I have looked at this too much this morning and can't get the colors quite right so time to post and move forward. Have a fantastic day, can't believe two months have passed us by and I haven't been focused on my photography goals. I am supposed to be pushing myself to work with flash, people and photoshop starting again tomorrow. I need to mix it up and stretch myself with some new ideas.
From a visit to Teignmouth on my oldest son's 11th birthday a week ago. The weather was sublime with the low winter sun offering many great photo opportunities. The structure reminding me of Sauron's Dark Tower is part of a groyne lining the beach, covered in barnacles and seaweed.

The light sublime - As dawn breaks across the Isle of Skye, a break in the clouds allows the most intense golden hour light to bathe the whole Trotternish ridge with incredible warmth. The sublime light viewed from the Quiraing, picks out the golden autumn slopes of Cleat and Bioda Buidhe with Beinn Edra lurking beneath the clouds in the distance.
A spectacular reward for patience and persistence as the prospects for dawn and sunrise didn't look too hopeful at first light. A truly incredible landscape and world-class location, made all the more spectacular by the dramatic and sublime light and the typical ever changing, moody Skye weather

Painting on back wall "If You Surrendered to the Air, You Could Ride It" The title comes from Toni Morrison's novel "Song of Solomon" that suggests letting go of fear in order to fly; the inherent danger of falling is left unspoken.
