of course another evening catboy stroll — and while yesterday the kría (arctic terns) were still their usual nesting-season aggressive, this evening they checked us out but then flew off hunting over the water — the season is already waning…
There is a moment—quiet, almost secret—when the boundary between your inner landscape and the outer world dissolves. Not dramatically. Not with revelation. More like a soft unfastening. A loosening of edges. The kind of shift you only notice because something inside you suddenly feels less alone.
In that hush, the world doesn’t feel separate from you.
It feels like an extension of your own interior weather.
And the presences that shaped you rise—not as memories, not as stories, but as sensations woven into that weather.
The gentle ones become the warmth in your chest,
the part of you that softens even when you don’t mean to.
Their imprint is the quiet reassurance that tenderness once found you,
and that it still lives somewhere inside your breath.
The steady ones become the grounding beneath your thoughts,
the inner gravity that keeps you from drifting too far from yourself.
Their presence is the calm you feel without knowing why.
The storm‑bearers become the deeper currents—
the places where your inner world has ridges, shadows, depth.
They shaped the parts of you that can hold intensity,
that can feel without collapsing,
that can stand in truth even when it shakes.
And the luminous ones—
the rare souls who revealed you to yourself—
become the thin, impossible light that moves through your inner horizon.
Not bright. Not overwhelming.
Just enough to show you the shape of your own being.
When the world and the self blur, all of these textures gather.
Not as separate influences,
but as one continuous presence inside you.
You feel the warmth and the weight,
the calm and the storm,
the scattered and the whole—
each one a trace of someone who once touched your life
and now lives as part of your inner atmosphere.
And in that merging, a quiet understanding rises:
You are not yourself alone.
You are a single grain on the endless shore.
Shaped by every presence that ever reached you,
held by tides far larger than your own.
Lost
It always happens. I peak round the door as I get the dogs ready for their morning walk, it’s flat dull and tossing down, so I decided to leave the camera. The walk is as damp as I expected but on the home leg I come across this little scene in the field. The horses have all congregated underneath a willow tree to keep dry, it looks lovely, but no camera. As I get home I leave the wet dogs in the porch and quickly pick up a camera and a tripod, jump in the car and nip back up to the field. When I get there the scene is even better, rather than the huddle I left 10 minutes ago I now have another horse trying to negotiate room underneath the willow. “Go on, shift along mate. I’m not moving.” You’ll be glad to know within a few frames, room is found and horsey get comfortably under the tree. I do like a happy ending.

Summer/Dawn
Pure magic is how I think abou thte light during this time of the year. There is something about the change from summer to fall that makes this morning light extra delicious and the explosion of it in the morning more than welcome. I savor every second of it! As long as the weather is permitting of course...and so far it has been!

time goes on
always forward
run to keep up
or fall behind
picking up pieces
filling in cracks
don't look behind
the past
is the past.
always forward
but don't forget
memories
and our past
let us move ahead
let us become
let us evolve
let us change
and so
there is
a slight
shift left.
A test shot of the 16 image pixel shift multi shooting mode on the newer Sony cameras.
Download the the full resolution 240MP image and see what you think.
Unfortunanetly the high resolution mode confirmed that my lens is slightly decentred, with a softer left side performance. Ironically, this is harder to see at normal resolutions. Some times, ignorance is bliss!

The Laowa 15mm Zero-D shift provides a very different view compared to the 30mm and 90mm. The stairs are looking longer now.

A framing never seen with digital. I planted and shifted the completed MBS on the bg over an archive image.

Here's the final artwork for the CD sleeve. It will be a limited run of music performed by our church band. I changed the overall balance, added the "Shift" text and changed the "framed" image (which I shot yesterday). I like the final outcome, hopefully it will interest people.
NAPM's Afternoon Shifter pulls loaded hoppers from the storage track beyond the tipple at the McIntosh No. 1 Mine. The crew will take the cars back down the branch line to Newton where they will get weighed and then sent out on an overnight freight.
