Shot on February 1, Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will reach its closest point to Earth. It’ll sweep 27 million miles away (that’s 44 million km, or 0.29 AU). At that point, it’ll still be more than 100 times the moon’s distance away.
The last time this comet passed near the sun was 50,000 years ago, when Neanderthals walked the Earth.

Capturing the ethereal beauty of Praia Três Castelos in Portugal, this captivating photograph showcases the mesmerizing allure of long exposure photography.

a street portrait of josé maría almoguera. we were coming from the banksy museum when we saw a man being photographed, a camera crew around him. i asked him what he did. i didn’t recognize him. he said he’s on tv sometimes. then i asked if i could take his portrait. he nodded right away. i still don’t really know what he does. but he was kind.
I captured this photograph on board the Brim Explorer during our return journey from Trollfjord to Solvaer. As we headed towards the Trollfjord, the passengers on deck were immersed in conversation, capturing the stunning scenery with their cameras. However, on our way back, the weather took a turn, and rain and cold descended upon us. Despite the adverse conditions, I was intrigued to find two persons braving the elements on the deck. Their resilience and determination made for a compelling image… Brim Explorer, Lofoten, Norway.

The wonders of curiosity
The keepers of discovery
A moment to treasure
captured in palmanova, this image vividly illustrates the silent stories of two couples seated by the beach, their contrasting body language revealing the dynamics of their relationships. on the right, a couple sits closely with their legs angled towards each other, symbolizing a connection that has endured over time. their bodies lean slightly inward, indicating mutual interest and affection. in contrast, the couple on the left displays a different story; they sit apart with their bodies and legs turned away from each other, suggesting lives that have grown separate. each person seems lost in their own world, embodying a sense of isolation despite their physical proximity. the serene backdrop of sunbathers and gentle waves adds a layer of irony, as the beach's tranquility contrasts with the subtle emotional distance on the bench, showcasing how love can both thrive and wane over the years.
in the heart of milan, the majestic duomo stands as a testament to gothic grandeur, drawing visitors from all corners of the globe. on this day, an intriguing sight unfolds—tourists, many adorned in black and white, converge upon the cathedral's facade, capturing memories and marveling at its intricate beauty. the interplay of the human presence with the historic architecture adds a timeless quality to the scene, as if the simplicity of their attire echoes the monochrome elegance of the duomo itself. this convergence of past and present, of stone and soul, creates a tableau where the stories of the travelers and the whispers of history meld into one.

in el arenal, where the sun-soaked streets echo with stories of leisure and carefree days, thomas blends into the vibrant scene, not with stealth, but with humor. his propeller hat, a playful nod to the fun-loving spirit of the place, spins lightly in the warm breeze, a beacon of cheerful irony among the more predictable beach attire. thomas, camera in hand, captures the pulse of the "deutsche meile," leaning in, crouching low, every movement a dance with the lens. here, amidst the blend of german voices and spanish charm, he’s not just a photographer; he’s part of the scenery, recording the day with a wink and a grin. the photo, no doubt, will reflect the same—joyful, alive, and just a bit mischievous.
There are scenes everywhere I looked in the Smokey Mountains. This scene is on the Little River - right next to the main road. It feels a bit like cheating when I don't have to hike more than 5 foot from my car :)

on a vibrant day at the place des lices market in saint tropez, the scene is an eclectic mix of sights and scents. an elderly man, adorned in red trousers, a shirt peppered with cherry prints, and red glasses, stands thoughtfully before a bustling rotisserie stand. the vivid red of his outfit harmonizes with the bright decor of the chicken grill, creating a striking visual contrast against the sizzling, golden chickens. this snapshot encapsulates a whimsical, yet poignant, interplay of life and culinary tradition, wrapped in the warm hues of a mediterranean afternoon.
In the bustling courtyard of Juliet’s House in Verona, Cristina adjusted her camera with practiced precision. Her job was simple—capture fleeting moments of tourists standing on the famous balcony, dreaming of love and legend. The laughter, the hopeful gazes, the whispered lines from Shakespeare—all framed within her lens, all ready to be sold as a keepsake.
She had seen thousands of faces, each one seeking a piece of romance to take home. Some kissed, some posed dramatically, others just stood there, lost in thought. Cristina didn’t judge. Love, real or imagined, was good for business. With a click, another memory was frozen in time, waiting to find its owner.

This photograph exudes an understated elegance that pulls the viewer into a study of texture and form. The prickly pear cactus, with its layered, paddle-like segments, stands in stark relief against the smooth, weathered wall. The placement within the ornate planter adds an element of human presence—a reminder of how nature finds its place even within defined, rigid boundaries. Captured on Fomapan 100, the grain is fine, allowing every detail of the cactus’ dimples and the plaster’s cracks to speak in sharp contrast.
The composition is balanced, with the coarse concrete step and grate adding a subtle, utilitarian touch to the scene. The light, likely natural and diffused, casts soft shadows that prevent the image from feeling too sterile. Instead, it emphasizes the quiet resilience of this plant, symbolizing both fragility and toughness in a single frame. The textures captured feel almost tangible, bridging the visual experience with a desire to touch the cool, rough surfaces.
There’s an echo of André Kertész in the simplicity here—a recognition of beauty in the mundane, the play between the geometric and the organic. It's a visual poem, speaking through the language of light, shadow, and texture. The minor imperfections, like the peeling paint, add character and remind us of the passage of time.
