I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with my father on a trip to La Push, WA. I don't get to see him much, and when I asked to see if he wanted to head out and go to the coast, I was elated that he said 'sure'! We both enjoy photography, so we both enjoyed trying to photograph the scenery. This photo was obviously taken near the end of a full day of shooting, while I was trying to show him how to take a long exposure photograph. Sadly, my dad's memory is fading, and I don't know how many more of these kinds of days I will have left with him. Understandably, I treasure these memories immensely. Even if this photo was my worst work, I would likely still love it just for the memories I have associated with it.
Anyway, any and all thoughts/criticisms as welcome!
Enjoy :)
Sospesi...
in un silenzio attonito.
Tra l' ombra del presente,
la nebbia
dell'incertezza,
la soglia della luce .
Spesso è sabato
nella nostra vita :
il giorno della speranza
Via Crucis 2022
Suspended...
in a stunned silence.
Among the shadow of the present,
the fog of uncertainty,
the threshold of light.
It's often Saturday
in our lives :
the day of Hope

Der Eingang und sein Spiegelbild bilden eine doppelte Schwelle – von außen nach innen, von Realität zu Spiegelwelt.
The doorway and its reflection create a double threshold – leading from the outside in, and from reality into a mirrored world.
In diesem Bild hat mich die Begegnung zweier Welten fasziniert – die massive, historische Tür und ihr stilles Ebenbild im Wasser. Ich wollte den Moment einfangen, in dem Realität und Spiegelung sich begegnen und etwas Drittes entsteht: ein Raum dazwischen. Für mich ist diese Schwelle nicht nur architektonisch, sondern auch symbolisch – zwischen Innen und Außen, zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Das Licht, das über die Steine wandert, scheint die Geschichte selbst zu streifen. Vielleicht ist es gerade in solchen Zwischenräumen, dass wir besonders genau hinsehen.
What fascinated me in this image was the meeting of two worlds – the heavy, historic door and its quiet reflection in the water. I wanted to capture that fleeting moment where reality and its mirror come together to form something in between. For me, this threshold is not just architectural, but symbolic – between inside and outside, past and present. The light moving across the stones feels like it brushes against history itself. Perhaps it’s in these in-between spaces that we truly start to see.
A macro view of a Bird of Paradise leaf picked up along the way, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "Leaf." The scene spans 2⅝ - inches across.
Technical info:
The scene is a 12-image focus stack composite. It was backlit by a white and red LED panel from behind and another LED light in front and above.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with a 20mm extension tube attached.

"It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge the key thresholds; to take your time; to feel all the varieties of presence that accrue there; to listen inward with complete attention until you hear the inner voice calling you forward. The time has come to cross."
