One of the last grand adventures taken in 2025 was to Quenca, Ecuador. My purpose there was to tell stories through photography and filmmaking. I traveled throughout the region, learning about the Indigenous Andean Culture. The country was absolutely breathtaking as my eyes and heart took in the lands of the original Kanari people. This photograph was taken while visiting the primary sacred site for Mother Mary devotion. This is the southwest part of Ecuador, 28 km from Cuenca in El Cajas National Park. The park is well known for its rugged terrain that features picturesque landscapes characterized by valleys nestled in the Grandfather Mountains of Pachamama. This was one of those photographic moments that required a fair amount of patience to compose. For me, this photograph embodies the message of presence. I titled the piece, “Myth of Tomorrow,” because we only ever have now. Yes, another important reminder because where we place our will, action, reason, and emotion determines the quality of this very moment. Tomorrow is not the experience, only the one where we stand. For the animals im sure I was an anomaly for their simple way of existence. Standing a couple of meters away, dialing in an accurate light reading, one of the subjects' attention was pulled while the other was completely absorbed in grazing. The foreground needed to be properly illuminated since the sun was directly in front of me. Just before the trip, I acquired a couple of camera flashes from Lightpix that could be wirelessly synced together, paired with the Leica M6. In addition, I was experimenting with Kodak’s Tri-X 400 film-stock & an orange filter to get stronger black and white results.

Please, no group invites; thank you!
Belton House is a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period. The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes. Only Brympton d'Evercy has been similarly lauded as the perfect English country house. For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace. The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly completely separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls and then once again became barons, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes, yet the fabric and design of the house changed little. Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away—complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public. It is in a good state of repair and visited by many thousands of tourists each year The Brownlow family, a dynasty of lawyers, began accumulating land in the Belton area from approximately 1598. In 1609 they acquired the reversion of the manor of Belton itself from the Pakenham family, who finally sold the manor house to Sir John Brownlow I in 1619. The old house was situated near the church in the garden of the present house and remained largely unoccupied, since the family preferred their other houses elsewhere. John Brownlow had married an heiress but was childless. He became attached to two of his more distant blood relations: a great-nephew, also called John Brownlow, and a great-niece, Alice Sherard. The two cousins married each other in 1676 when both were aged 16; three years later, the couple inherited the Brownlow estates from their great-uncle together with an income of £9,000 per annum (about £ 1.17 million in present day terms) and £20,000 in cash (equivalent to about £ 2.59 million now). They immediately bought a town house in the newly fashionable Southampton Square in Bloomsbury, and decided to build a new country house at Belton. Work on the new house began in 1685. The architect thought to have been responsible for the initial design is William Winde, although the house has also been attributed to Sir Christopher Wren, while others believe the design to be so similar to Roger Pratt's Clarendon House, London, that it could have been the work of any talented draughtsman. The assumption popular today, that Winde was the architect, is based on the stylistic similarity between Belton and Coombe Abbey, which was remodelled by Winde between 1682 and 1685. Further evidence is a letter dated 1690, in which Winde recommends a plasterer who worked at Belton to another of his patrons. Whoever the architect, Belton follows closely the design of Clarendon House, completed in 1667. This great London town house (demolished circa 1683) has been one of the most admired buildings of its era due to "its elegant symmetry and confident and common-sensical design". Sir John Summerson described Clarendon House as "the most influential house of its time among those who aimed at the grand manner" and Belton as "much the finest surviving example of its class". John and Alice Brownlow assembled one of the finest teams of craftsmen available at the time to work on the project. This dream team was headed by the master mason William Stanton who oversaw the project. His second in command, John Thompson, had worked with Sir Christopher Wren on several of the latter's London churches, while the chief joiner John Sturges had worked at Chatsworth under William Talman. The wrought-ironworker John Warren worked under Stanton at Denham Place, Buckinghamshire, and the fine wrought iron gates and overthrow at Belton may be his. Thus so competent were the builders of Belton that Winde may have done little more than provide the original plans and drawings, leaving the interpretation to the on-site craftsmen. This theory is further demonstrated by the external appearance of the adjoining stable block. More provincial, and less masterful in proportion, it is known to have been entirely the work of Stanton.
My panorama of Circular Quay won fan photo of the week on the Sydney.com Facebook page for the week beginning the 2nd of February 2015.
My image was displayed in the Cover Photo of the Sydney.com Facebook page for the whole week.
I was so excited and honoured that so many people liked and appreciated my picture.
It makes getting up in the early hours of the morning to capture such magical light worth it.

NOTE: This is a little dark when viewed small on a bright background.
I have seen so many great images of Convict Lake with the fall colors on
flickr.com I decided to go up and try and catch some of that fall color for
myself. (See my previous images) So I headed off on the long drive over to
the Eastern Sierra. As it turned out Convict Lake had experienced an early
freeze which had turned the trees brown. To boot the day I picked was right
in the middle of a $10,000 fishing tournament. Needless to say fishermen
lined the banks and boats filled the lake as the sun arrived so it was a
good thing I turned up early as I managed to squeeze off a few shots as the
sunlight just started to cause Mt. Laurel to glow.
I dragged my camera and tripod out at O dark-thirty and stood there freezing
my butt off on the shores of the lake. The sun had not yet rose
sufficiently to actually light Mt. Laurel but the stars were awesome. Even
at a 30 second exposure the image needed some lightning and noise reduction
in Photoshop but turned out great. The light you see on Mt. Laurel in this
image is referred to as Alpine Glow and occurs before the mountain was
directly being lit by the rising sun. The stars are streaked slightly
showing you just how much the Earth rotates in 30 seconds.
Convict lake sits at the base if Mt. Laurel (11,812 ft). In the spring you
can see small waterfalls on the far side of the lake and a good size stream
feeds the lake. Convict Lake sits just off Highway 395 which is one of
most spectacular drives you can take in the US. It starts in the stark
deserts of Southern California and runs along the back side of the Sierra
Mountains which just up suddenly out of the high desert. I highly recommend
this drive to photographers in both spring and then once again in the fall.

The Gecko Nebula, also known as LBN 437, resides within the Lacerta constellation and is juxtaposed with the expansive emission nebula Sh2-126, which intersects it.
On this picture, the right lobe of the Gecko Nebula boasts numerous recently formed bright stars emerging from its molecular cloud.
Within this domain, the youthful star V375 is linked to the Herbig-Haro object HH398.
These phenomena represent luminous areas of nebulosity associated with nascent stars, originating from the collision between the star's ejected gas and nearby clouds of gas and dust.
Typically, images of this nebula are displayed with a 180º rotation, but I prefer this orientation to showcase it's intricate details in a highly magnified close-up view.
It's a result of 28 hours of integration time at f/3.3 (8 hours on LRGB + 20 hours on Ha).

Meet John P. Silvaggio, aka "The Beard Man" champion!
Rather than recap our serendipitous meeting last week by the sea, I'm going to quote something from one of his web pages.
"Mr. Silvaggio has enjoyed a history of philanthropy by raising money with attendance at the 2015 & 2016 National Beard and Moustache Championships, the 2017 World Beard & Moustache Championship in Austin Texas, and most recently 2019 World Beard & Moustache Championship in Antwerp, Belgium where he retained his number eight ranking in the world. John also produces multiple Youtube channels with thousands of impressions.
Mr. John P. Silvaggio was born in Providence, Rhode Island.
He is a proud father of one." More on John can be found on his Instagram account: www.instagram.com/jpsilvaggio/
As an aside, while I was into my *zone*, trying to capture the almost non-existent sunset, I was prompted to shoot other interesting scenery in the area! As I walked up the street, this gentleman approached me to ask if I had taken his photo! Well, I hesitated, because I hadn't remembered specifically capturing him, as I was more focused on the building in the background!
I asked *John* if he had wished I'd taken his photo, and I'd be happy to use my iPhone, instead of my Canon, so I could e-mail him a copy! He was very excited and wanted to know how to *pose* to which I responded, "Any way you wish!" . . .
So here you have it! We proceeded to get into a deeper conversation about health issues, his many eclectic journeys all around the world with his *Beard* competitions and championships, his run for office in Rhode Island, our common interests in sewing, and, of course, the Covid situation!
It was a lot for me to absorb, so I googled him when I returned home and was continually amazed at all he's accomplished at such a young age . . . even holding a license as a Rhode Island Private Detective and Massachusetts Reserve Deputy Sheriff!
The most fascinating coincidence was that a few days ago my husband and I were out of town at my favorite Sewing Machine
shop. While I was inside getting some pointers on my high-strung "Bernina" Richard was waiting outside and decided to go next door for a lemonade . . . lo and behold, WHO was there, but John!
. . . small world . . .

ALL MY PHOTOS ARE NOW ON SALE!
I've been hanging out with folks in the Polaroid scene, past six months or so. Some of 'em have YouTube pages, or podcasts, followings. They've been at it for five years, or seven years, some folks are new to it, some folks are older, some are younger.
I'll be talking to them, worker among workers, that's how I like to describe it, how I try to think about myself when I'm hanging out with other artists.
Then I'll pull this image out of the archives to talk about here and realize it was fifteen fucking years ago...and at that point I'd already been taking photos seriously for five years? That I've been at this a long goddamn time! And I'm not tired of it!
Lot's changed, so much. At the time of this photo, I was living in a tiny apartment (albeit in a great neighborhood, with some fun neighbors), I was driving an old old car that had over 300,000 miles on it, I probably had a month's worth of rent in the bank, if that.
But I'd met so many people online, I had friends coming out my ears.
I didn't have all I wanted, but I had what I needed. I was very lucky. Maybe that's one of the biggest lessons of my twenty year journey: Make as many friends as possible. Meet people as much as you're able. Put yourself out there, no matter how shy you feel you are.
Everyone involved in this photo was someone I met because I was crazy online. Messaging people, texting people, IMing people, talking to people, commenting on other people's photos, talking to people, that was really my main hobby. Photography was a side benefit to all the people I've gotten to hang out with.
This photo, much as I like it (why did I wait 15 years to post it????), this is nothing compared to the great time we had, that day. The good times are waiting for us all...

M81 & M82 - Bode and Cigar Galaxies
Canon EOS 60D and TS APO 804 Triplet on a HEQ5 unguided mount.
ENG: M81 is the principal member of the “M81 Group” which is composed of 34 galaxies 12 million of light years distant from us. M81, M82 and NGC3077 strongly interact with each other and this leads to increasing their star formation activity.
Since the star formation process of M82 is very strong compared to other galaxies, it's classified as “Starburst Galaxy”.
Some numbers: M81 contains 250 billion of stars and it’s far from the “near” M82 just about 200.000 light years, twice the diameter of our galaxy.
ITA: M81 è il membro principale del “Gruppo di M81” costituito da 34 galassie poste ad una distanza media di 12 milioni di anni luce. M81, M82 e NGC3077 interagiscono fortemente tra loro, questo porta ad un incremento della loro attività di formazione stellare.
Proprio per questo motivo M82 viene definita una galassia starbust, ovvero una galassia in cui il processo di formazione stellare è molto spinto rispetto alle altre galassie. Un’attività così spinta, però, porta ad un più veloce esaurimento delle scorte della stessa galassia.
Alcuni numeri: M81 contiene 250 miliardi di stelle e dista dalla compagna (M82) circa 200.000 anni luce, praticamente solo il doppio del diametro della nostra galassia.

The Vulturine Guineafowl (Acryllium vulturinum) is the largest and most spectacular of the guineafowl bird family. It is a resident breeder in northeast Africa, from southern Ethiopia through Kenya and just into northern Tanzania.
It breeds in dry and open habitats with scattered bushes and trees, such as savannah or grassland. It lays its usually 4-8 cream-coloured eggs in a well-hidden grass-lined scrape.
although all other guineafowl have unfeathered heads, this species looks particularly like a vulture because of the long bare neck and head.
The slim neck projects from a cape of long, glossy, blue and white hackles. The breast is cobalt blue, and the rest of the body plumage is black, finely spangled with white.
The sexes are similar, although the female is usually slightly smaller than the male and with smaller tarsal spurs. Young birds are mainly grey-brown, with a duller blue breast and short hackles.
Vulturine Guineafowl is a gregarious species, forming flocks outside the breeding season typically of about 25 birds. This species' food is seeds and small invertebrates. This guineafowl is terrestrial, and will run rather than fly when alarmed. Despite the open habitat, it tends to keep to cover, and roosts in trees. It makes loud chink-chink-chink-chink-chink calls.
