All the fields were "just around the corner"… but somehow I still ended up walking like I was chasing lost Wi-Fi 🌾📵
Planning like a heist, waiting like for concert tickets, and nature still did her own thing ️
But when the light finally hit just right — I forgot I was only supposed to be out for a minute 😅
We arrived at 11:00 PM. There are so many riders, that we are released in waves. We were in the fourth wave (orange), so we had to wait until 1:30!! AAARGHH! We just wanted to get ridin'!! We rode until the sun came up (frustratingly slow at times due to the density of the 'pack' ... it was humid with nary a breeze) ... but we still had a blast. Jackie's sense of humor is always a bonus!!
Riding through the hoods (Chinatown, Greektown, etc.) is always a rich cultural experience. You'd be amazed (or not) at how many people were out. Folks were pouring out of the bars, drunk ... and cheering us on and high-fiving us ... all of this at 3:00 in the morning!! The City was Alive! Or the City Never Sleeps!
The sunrise wasn't as spectacular as we hoped, in fact we didn't even see the sun till it came up over the clouds. We waited for that (so I could get my photo) ... and then flew out of the city and straight to our beds. In all total, I was up for 28 hours straight!!
I loved the barren trees along the lakeshore at this location, remnants of the 1988 forest fire. Such desolate beauty ...
The sliding here is from Pro HDR, an iPhone App ... with a touch of vintage tossed in. Still wading through all my trip photos ...
HSS!! Hope everyone is having an awesome Sunday!
Like everyone else, my thoughts have been on 9/11 this past week. I will never forget where i was and exactly what I was doing when I heard the first reports. Thinking of it right now gives me the chills.
On that day a nation was devastated.
Today, with the dedication of the 9/11 Memorial, a nation will come together on the 10th Anniversary to remember the victims and honor the courage of those who risked their lives to save others.
I did a lot of sliding to bring the light & color out of the shadows on this beautiful morning at sunrise. I spent a lot of time on this bench in solitude ... the only sounds the lapping of water, the cry of gulls and insects buzzing in the reeds ... contemplating life ... and now thinking how fortunate I am to be able to do this ... the freedom ... what freedom costs ... and how deeply thankful I am for all of it.

A dedication in honor of the lives lost on that fateful day ... to remind myself to 'never forget.'
“Learning became her.
She loved the smell of the book from the shelves, the type on the pages, the sense that the world was an infinite but knowable place.
Every fact she learned seemed to open another question, and for every question there was another book.”

DEPICTIONS: A tale of PORTRAITS
Before my marriage to landscape, I was a disciple of portraits.
I missed shooting portraits.
That is why I would like to share some of my collection of portraits taken during a trip with Manny Librodo in Pagsanjan.
I wanted to rekindle my love for portraits and here are some of my work...

We have a roop top deck at this rental house we live in currently. This is our view looking towards the cul de sac and the mountains.
While traveling along a quiet Colorado backroad, I came across this beautiful grove of Aspen trees. The timing couldn’t have been any better, late afternoon light filtered softly through the leaves as spotty clouds drifted above, creating a perfectly soft backlight. And, this is why it’s worth slowing down and letting the road lead the way.
When I’m on a photography trip, I rarely follow a set agenda. Instead, I let the conditions guide me. On this day, I noticed clouds building over a distant mountain range and decided to chase the weather. That wandering path ended up leading me to some incredible light. Ansel Adams once said, “Luck follows a prepared mind.” I’ve found that to be especially true in photography. Knowing where the most potential lies helps guide my choices, but some of the best moments still aren’t planned at all, they just unfold when preparation meets opportunity.
Walking down the stairs this morning. #chasinglight #nature #leaf #dhanmondi #eavig
