"Asian princess in resplendent ceremonial garb, a photograph embodying the artistic vision of Steve McCurry and Yousuf Karsh, age 23, with raven black, intricately braided hair adorned with delicate gold and jade ornaments, almond-shaped dark brown eyes radiating wisdom and grace, porcelain skin with a touch of rouge on her cheeks, dressed in an opulent silk kimono in deep emerald and royal purple with intricate golden embroidery depicting ancient legends, an ornate headdress resting upon her brow, slender fingers adorned with rings of jade and pearls, standing elegantly in a serene palace courtyard with traditional lanterns, stone statues, and a tranquil koi pond, her pose poised and dignified with one hand on her hip and the other gently resting on a lacquered fan, her gaze looking into the distance as if beholding the future of her kingdom, color palette rich with the saturation and warmth of a timeless dynasty, masterpiece, extremely detailed, cinematic lighting."

Taken at a local dance festival where I had the opportunity to try out my Olympus EM1 mk2 plus the 40-150, in low light. I was shooting at iso 6400, f2.8, for the whole shoot and alternated with my Canon 5D mk3 plus the 70-200, which I used mainly at iso 16000, f2.8, for the faster movements. I have to say though, that the Olympus combo made for a more pleasant shooting experience; it was lighter and quieter, and the results were just fine. I underexposed slightly in order to bump the shutter speed up, and then pulled it back in processing.
This photo came as a result of a professional makeover, styling and photo shoot in Nashville, TN in January. Both the stylist, Brittany Muse, and the photographer, Cody Stallings, were professional enough to ask what I wanted from the sessions and what motivates me.
Their caring inquiry helped me realize that my real self is happy both as a man and a woman. I learned that it is the delicate balance between masculinity and femininity that feeds my soul, keeps me healthy and stimulates my imagination and creativity. It gives me confidence and compassion.
This next series of photos, captures one version of that balance. Later you will see all femme. These are representative of both sides of who I truly am and want to be.
A number of times over my various careers, I had photographs much like this one taken for the companies I worked for or for my own company. They were for annual reports, press releases, staff photo rosters, marketing materials and the like.
They were fine. And, deep down inside, this is what I felt and wanted to look like.

Edited by me, data supplied by my old school pal Simon Williamson (spwilliamsonphotography.com/) who lives in Spain and took this in Valencia, saving me travelling costs and indeed travelling!! Very kind of him to allow me to play with his RAW files.
Now the tricky and ethical question, whose image is it?...

Grid H5 is mainly just a stretch of Hwy 30 in that no mans land between the St. Johns Bridge and Kittridge Bridge. That is one thing I have to say about The Grid Project: it gets me out to places I would never otherwise care to photograph. But having that assignment is one way of making photos you would otherwise never make. So there is that. I think the two most interesting things I found on this grid involved the pocket neighborhood nestled along the grungy edges of Hwy 30 and the end of Saltzman Road where one can hop onto Leif Erickson Dr. In regard to the former, there are about a dozen or some homes spread across two streets and a handful of avenues tucked right off the highway. It is a loud and dirty (you'd be surprised how much detritus major roads blow off) place to find a residential area and a strangely fascinating "neighborhood" to wander. Of course, Leif Erickson and I go way back and I am a big fan of that road that winds its way through Forest Park. It is the polar opposite of the row of aforementioned homes on the shoulder of the highway. Leif Erickson almost makes you forget about the river of cars hidden behind the thick swaths of forest. I had never gone up Leif Erickson from this end, though I knew it intersected with Saltzman.
On this trip I was borrowing a Canon compact camera loaded with Lomochrome Metropolis film. This film has a grungy look to it that I wanted to experiment a bit more with, and I thought to some degree that it fit the area well enough.

Grid H5 - February, 2022
A stunning photo I captured of the binary star, Albireo at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA. Albireo is one of the most viewed binary stars in the sky and it is easy to see why. Residing at 385 light years distant, Albireo is naked eye visible as just one star. Colors represent the temperatures of the stars, with blue being hottest and red being coolest.
Photo Details:
Camera: Canon 60D MagicLantern
1370mm fl
f/9
ISO: 800
Exposure: 60 seconds
Composite: Median stack of 5 individual shots.
