Peaches. I was originally out to capture funny looking pictures of cats with my wide angle, though there isn't much distortion here. The lens did however accentuate her whiskers and make her mouth just a little funny looking. I'm really happy with how this entire image turned out; the whiskers are my favorite component.

Sometimes it's good to go back through the portfolio and take a fresh look at images you'd forgotten and have another crack at them.
The sun sets over Great Staple Tor on Dartmoor. In the distance you can see the church of Brentor silhouetted in the haze. The weathered granite that forms these tors are the result of over 200 million years of erosion leaving these amazing structures on the hill tops across the whole of the Dartmoor National Park.

Slow moving currents of time sweep past us.
Some of us are affected, others just seem timeless.
For some odd reason, this shot evokes in me a sense of Déja vu. The tattooes on her back are oddly out of place, yet the quiet simplicity of the shot is reminiscent of an old chinese ink painting.
Hope you guys like it.

One of the rare times I've shot an asian model. It's pretty rare to find an asian girl with an extremely prominant bone structure. Most asians, myself included, seem to have the sort of softer rounder features accompanied by a flat nose. Although Glamor and Beauty isn't really my thing, I wanted to give a shot at blending beauty and movement all in one... and here's the result!
Special thanks to Pratik Naik from Solistice Retouch and Jaymes Poudrier for contributing in the editing of this shot. Three way collaborations =P how fun!

I was going through some photos from last month, you know the ones, sitting there in a folder, waiting to be looked at and processed when I happened upon this one.
I do not know how I missed it on the first round, because this is a gorgeous portrait.
I'm not sure what it is, the pose, the smile, the composition... whatever it is, I love it and am kicking myself for not seeing it sooner!
She has a classic air about her here, even with the cheese and crackers in her hand. I love it, what a gem to be hidden in a folder!
This was jammed between a bunch of blurry photos, so I think I snapped this when I was showing my cousin's son how to use my camera.
I had bribed him with camera time if he would pose with his baby sister, he held up his end of the bargain so I handed over the camera, forgetting I had everything on manual settings.
He quickly returned and asked for a lesson, so I flipped things to auto and I think this must have been what I shot to show him where the buttons were, I wasn't even thinking about the photo at the time, just teaching him how to use the camera.
Funny how things work out that way sometimes.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

One of Norwich’s most well-known public buildings is the City Hall. Built in the 1930s it is the city's foremost interwar building. It boasts the longest balcony in England and the largest clock bell in the UK with the deepest sound in East Anglia that tears through the building each hour.
The front doors illustrate the city’s history and it is said that during the Second World War Hitler admired the building so much that it would have been a potential seat of regional government had his invasion plans succeeded.
In my hunt for blue (October!) I came upon this tiny medal from Lourdes which had been taped to my then tiny daughter's incubator for eight months following her premature birth and I thought "why not"?! For MacroMondays blue.
Shot on Labor Day, 2025, this photograph of Coney Island in Brooklyn could really have been taken at any time.

One of the most intense elements of the image of Kavala is its citadel. While it stands on the top of the peninsula of Virgin Mary (Panagia) it is tied up in a harmonious total with the houses of the homonymous historical district that extended all around it in tiers. It is interesting to watch the course of the fortress in time.
The name “Christoupolis” first appears in texts of the beginning of the 9th century. The change of the city’s name should not be linked to its abandonment, but to its reorganisation as a fortress of the Byzantine state. The role of Christoupolis as a fortress is particularly emphasized in Byzantine texts: «the Christoupolis fortress as on the one side was very powerful thanks to its construction... on the other side as a bolster lies down… it leads through Thrace, and thirdly as it is onshore and it could easily enter into alliances” (Ioannes Cantacuzenus, 1,4 Bonnae edition). The citadel (fortress) standing dominatingly on the top of the hill of the peninsula, at a height of approximately 70 metres, was reconstructed upon the remnants of the older Byzantine castle, in two phases: first, at the beginning of 1425 in view of the imminent attack of the Venetian fleet, the Ottomans built the “new walls”, obviously the parts that had been destroyed during the siege and occupation of Christoupolis (1390-1391). Secondly, in approximately 1530 the walls were repaired once again, at a larger extent and more assiduous intervention. At this time, the exterior surrounding walls of the citadel were built, with the addition of which the fortress was extended considerably and increased its defensive puissance. More specifically, the exterior surrounding walls of the citadel must have been built during the years 1530 -1536, at the era where Suleiman the Magnificent decided to enforce its defence in several coastline positions (e.g. Thessaloniki – the White Tower). The exterior surrounding walls linked the citadel with the half destroyed then perimetrical walls of the peninsula and also fortified the lowest side of the hill, towards the harbour. The two entrance gates of the citadel are found here also: the First (in the place of an older Byzantine gate), is found at the end of today’s Kapsali street and is equipped with a «zematistra» (scalding spot – from where the defenders threw boiling oil onto the enemies).

“Do not go gentle into that good night…”
Dylan Thomas
While Dylan Thomas’ poem urged his father to, as darkness gathered, “Rage, rage against the dying of the light”, I see not rage, but a timeless dance in the sensuous, kalasiris-draped, curve and upraised limbs of this tree.
“The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
