"There’s simply no real substitute for physical presence.
We delude ourselves when we say otherwise, when we invoke and venerate “quality time,” a shopworn phrase with a debatable promise: that we can plan instances of extraordinary candor, plot episodes of exquisite tenderness, engineer intimacy in an appointed hour.
[…]
But people tend not to operate on cue. At least our moods and emotions don’t. We reach out for help at odd points; we bloom at unpredictable ones. The surest way to see the brightest colors, or the darkest ones, is to be watching and waiting and ready for them.”
⋅—Frank Bruni’s wonderful New York Times essay on the myth of “quality time.”
Two of a Kind
A complex pattern of shadows spread in a dramatic array across the facade of a building. Two knobs hide in the confusion waiting to be discovered. Strong textures add to the interest. Monochorome keeps the complexity of the designs easier to visualize and enjoy.

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

The skateboarders are everywhere in Imperial Beach. I see them congregating every night at sunset, in the park across the street.
The funniest thing I saw was a guy on a skateboard being pulled along by his dog! Then I saw another dude on his bike, being pulled along by his dog! I really need to get a picture of that!!
Hope everyone has been enjoying their week! Happy Tuesday!
Water village life permeates the core of the boy's being. Double exposure gives focus to his beautiful face and yet hints at his enviornment. Details emerge in an unusual fashion to craft his story.

♫ Counting Crows – Round Here ♫
Been working all morning on job-hunting related tasks {ugh} ... needed a break to cheer me up! This did the trick!! Such a gorgeous sunset this was (the same as this one).
Now I'm off to the kitchen to whip up some Chicken Tetrazzini for the old man's birthday dinner. Got some Guinness Stout chillin' and a Carrot Cake with 52 candles standing by!! I'll be visiting your photostreams while cookin'!!
Happy Wednesday!!
Canon 5d Mk2, 24-105mm @ 24mm, iso 50, f4.0, exposure 360secs.
I used a Lee 0.9 Hard Grad ND & a B&W ND110 3.0 (10 stop) Filter
Taken at 6:12am
Another take on the image below, with different post processing.
Probably one of the most photographed locations in Dorset, Durdle Door.
Sat on an amazing stretch of the Jurassic Coast between Lulworth & Ringstead bay, the Door as I like to call her, is at the mercy of the sea, whilst it will most definitely out live me, eventually she will give in.
So odd that the bird in back had all this detail, and the one in front is in complete silhouette!! This is a quick sunset we stopped for on the way back to San Diego from Laguna Beach. Jackie was so happy to be there after a grueling first semester.
Heading out the door for a mountain hike!! What are your plans today?
Happy Cliche Saturday Folks!!

I think Jackie did an awesome job setting up this shot of her dad's beer, as they enjoyed yet another sunset in Belize. I couldn't let this one wither away on the hard drive either! It needed to be shared with all on Tipsy Tuesday!
Finally! We are ready to Head out on the highway!

And whatever comes our way
Happy Tipsy Tuesday!
i was browsing on my old shots and saw this, i posted same composition before but different timing.. i'm a sucker of foreground details and texture so i decided to share this.. :D
shot was taken in Dingalan Aurora, Philippines....
Arrived too late on first day to get any really great shots. Ice was great and got some good dusk and night shots of me on ice. Next morning ice was covered in a skiff of snow. Random sampling located some so-so bubble spots and with some work we got some small areas cleared. The ice seemed to have hazed over night and needed a good day of wind to blow it clear and re-polish it.
Was having trouble with filter holder vignette on wide angle, so reverted to kit lens and ND4 filter plus a graduated ND. Did my best to grab some shots while crawling around on the ice freezing doing low angle work. Kind of freaky hearing the ice cracking behind me. I think the ice was dropping a bit at the shoreline.
All in all, an amazing experience and worth it, including 24 hours on the road squished into a night and two days. Truly grateful for help from friends with the post processing as I am still learning.
A beautiful warm sunrise to start your New Year's celebration!!
Be safe and happy shooting for 2013!
