All right, get a hold of yourself
And don't fight it, it's over your head
It's all right, the rumble in your ears
It's all right to feel a little fear
Canon EF, Kodak Portra 400
I just wanted to clear my head… and somehow ended up in full-on poppy love 🌺🌞
Not sure if it was the colors or the air, but for a moment I totally forgot how to get home 😅
If anyone saw a confused guy with a camera wandering through a field — yeah, that was me. Totally worth it.
📍 Somewhere near Poznań
“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn.
Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

I feel like this is the opening credit to a documentary on paganism.
I think I just needed a few bonfires!!
I was way more fascinated with the figures walking past than the setting of the sun!
Hope everyone is having a great week!!

The ocean has always been my happy place; with a wide-brimmed hat, a good book and a soft fragrance to refresh me from the sun, I could sit and stare at the sea all day.
"If we’re going to talk, then let’s talk. Forget about what is polite or proper and delve right into what is sincere and honest. Lead me down through the labyrinth of your true, spectacular self. I am not interested in pleasantries.
If you want a conversation, then let’s get lost." —@beautaplin, Real Talk
The stars remind me that the future is real; that my hopes are wrought by both determination and joy, and I'm meant for this. I'm meant to write. To explore. To express. To dream.
And so I shall.

Dusk shot, taken from the Chinese Garden (Singapore Jurong Garden). HDR from 3 composites (from a single RAW, exposures tweaked using NX2).
View large.
I like to think that every cloud has one.
From a recent mountain hike to see the sunrise.
This is the view that greeted me at the summit.
I needed to see the silver lining.
Are you done with all your preparations? For the holidays? For the End of the World? What time zone do you think will be the official end?

We've been under a dense marine layer all week. When I saw the promise of sun this morning, I raced out the door.
The tide was out, the sand shimmering with pastel colors ... but when the sun pierced the palm trees, striking the beach, the sand glittered like gold!!!
*happy sigh*
So funny that my favorite photo was with my iPhone! Happy Sunny Tuesday!!
This shot has it all!!
Here they are taking a break from shooting to enjoy the sunrise. I've always found it vitally important to 'put the camera' down at some point during a sunrise or sunset ... so as to thoroughly 'be in the moment.'
I had so much fun dragging them out in the sweltering humidity at 3 AM. I thank them for indulging me. When you are in good company, you can endure anything ... and that includes the early hour, the heat ... and the vicious flies!!
Thanks for inviting me, for the good wine, the fabulous dinner but most of all for the good time, the laughter and the companionship!
We've missed too many moments, over here, looking down at our toes, hoping for something to change.

To Be A Song; poem 120
|| I'm reminded how important it is to look forward to something, even if it's small. But today, they aren't small. Today I am looking forward to Yosemite tomorrow. And Madrid for the summer.
What are you looking forward to, dear ones? ||
My 7am entry to 'the hours' project.

Redwood Park
A multiple exposure doubles the beauty of the stately redwoods. Three colors dominate and contribute warmth and coolness creating a bit of energy. Nice depth hints at more and more trees. Strong verticals anchor the scene while motion dances a bit with abandon.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

Lake Champlain is not known for being a warm body of water, but it's an oven compared to some of the air temperatures we've experienced this winter in Vermont.
Panorama shot of the Horse shoe bend - I found a gap on the edge of the cliff, it looks like a water erosion that drains to the Colorado river.
I decided that this is a good vantage point, I will be directly in front of the Colorado river bend, and be able to frame the shot of the iconic rock formation.
A fellow photographer came in as a bunos to this shot.
Overall I've finished working on the "Chasing light" for now. If you are interested to see all of it,
Please view the full series on Chasing Light on my website..
I know that we are all busy people here but just in case If anyone would be watching the slideshow could you help me to judge if 3 sec per photo looks ok? My eyes are blurred;-)
Update: i changed to 4 - thank you very much. I hope it is fine like that now. Thank you very much for your warm feedback - it is soo important to me! and thank you for the title as well!;-)
Wish you great day!
Caught between the fleeting moments, the sunrise reminds me of life’s quiet transitions. The soft light of the morning is a canvas, bringing the world to life, one gentle ray at a time.
"Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow."
— Paulo Coelho
