One day I got this idea to balance a strawberry on glass.
It wasn’t the shot that took the most time, it was the search for a strawberry that could balance on end. My quest was consuming, literally, as I digested the complexities of form and shape. Ultimately I was forced to think outside the strawberry box, or face years of therapy. Did I find the perfect strawberry? Well almost…
Bean plant macro.
A young bean plant makes things complicated with its attachment issues in the garden.
I bought this outfit back in 2013 from GizZA and its called Glam Rock. This has to be one of my all time fav outfits I ever bought. Matter of fact Giz Seorn as the designer calls her brand now has some of the most amazing clothes EVER! When you buy quality it lasts!
I combined it with Boudoir Morena hair which is also older hair but still amazing for so many different outfits.
I laughed when I saw my complexity was 1.5 million! Yes 1.5 MILLION! The feathers were 750K each side lol.
I am going to contact both the designers because I have lots of their things and would love to go out in them but we have to get them complexity do-able so wish me luck!
Brussels, where the Lebeau street passes under the Empereur boulevard. I like these places with their unusual configuration, which reflect the complexity of the city's development.
Bruxelles, là où la rue Lebeau passe sous le boulevard de l'Empereur en descendant du Sablon.
J'aime bien ces endroits à la configuration inhabituelle qui témoignent de la complexité du développement de la ville.

Great conditions this morning (around -10C, no wind, fluffy snow), but the snow had stopped falling by the time I got out. Had to "scoop" clumps of flakes onto my wife's fluffy tuque using a wooden spoon and hope for the best...
Laowa 100mm F/2.8 2X Macro and Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox AD180 Flash. 30 frames in this handheld focus stack (!), with a few stacking artefacts remaining... Shot with the lens around 1.5:1, but I still have to measure what magnification this gives with the Raynox...

Anyone who's been backpacking in the forest, knows the feeling to well, the scenery all starts looking the same after a while. This is the beauty of photography, a glimpse of the trail frozen in time, so we can later appreciate the delicacy of nature and all its complexity.

This variety of Iris flowers have upright petals called "standards" and cascading petals called "falls". Running down the center of each fall is a “beard” that resembles a flame or even a furry caterpillar.
Besides the 3 sort of beards, I find very interesting & peculiar the zebra patterns & the texture of the petals, especially the 3 'falls' ones, looking like leather or even shantung silk. The bright yellow petals in the very centre reassemble golden tongues or, again, vivid flames of a flickering candle. Each of those inner petals -actually lobes- hosts and protects a single stamen.
Colours are yellow, some orange, a wine coloured optical animalier pattern, similar to zebra & lots of brown/burgundy tones.

A group of trees. Each one has a unique beauty. Together they make a fascinating group on the hill. Complexity within simplicity.
Simplicity invites us to focus on the essence, the core, and the heart of a subject. It beckons us to peel back the layers, revealing a profound intricacy beneath the surface.
Tiny plate-like snowflakes always impress me. Their lack of complexity doesn’t diminish their beauty; I think it only enhances the appreciation of the geometry and the fractal patterns we see. View large!
There is a small bit of “debris” on the crystal in the upper left. Usually I try to clear away obstructions with a small paintbrush to isolate a single snowflake, but in windy conditions it can be hard to get it completely isolated. Finding the snowflake in the viewfinder is also a difficult task, and if I decide to clear away debris a second time, I might not be able to find the snowflake in my frame again before it melts, sublimates, blows away etc. Timing is everything!
Because snowflakes are often hard to find on the black mitten where I photograph them, I sometimes use larger clumps of snow as a “landmark” of sorts. If I take a small clump of snow with the paintbrush and position it nearby the snowflake I want to photograph, my challenge becomes a little easier. I look for the large clump, and then I know where to move the camera to try and locate the snowflake I’m after. This can save me time, and I need to work as quickly as possible.
All of my snowflakes images are lit with a ring flash, usually with a 7:1 ratio of power on one side or the other. Ring flashes allow you to control each half of the ring independently, and I try to get exactly the right amount of light hitting the surface of the crystal from the right angle. This angle is very important; If you choose any “convenient” angle, you are likely to get just the edges of the crystal illuminated. If you carefully rotate the flash and the camera such that the light from the flash bounces off the surface of the crystal and into the camera, you can get all of the surface detail you see in my images. It makes the snowflakes sparkle, and sometimes also reveals colour in the snowflakes.
I shoot all of these images entirely handheld. You need to rotate the camera around the subject being the center of rotation, and you need to work as quickly as possible. For these reasons, no tripod has ever been used in any of my snowflake images. It makes the editing process more challenging, but it also allows for more snowflakes to be photographed when the conditions are perfect.
To learn every one of my secrets to snowflake photography, the entire photographic workflow is explained in comprehensive detail is my book Sky Crystals: skycrystals.ca/book/ - the good snow is about to start falling, so get out and photograph it! :)
To see what happens when you spend 2500 hours across five years working exclusively on snowflakes, the result is “The Snowflake” print: skycrystals.ca/poster/ - all crystals are accurately measured and placed in relative size to one another!
Wishing everyone a great New Year's Eve and a wonderful year to come!
Revisiting a clematis from last year while I wait for this year's to develop.
Have a great Friday everyone.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

This shopping complex seems rather... complex ;) Do not judge architects' choices and taste: they only design what the paying Client wants...
A scene I stumbled across in my brother's back garden while visiting the family in South Africa. An abandoned birds nest hanging from a tree. What was amazing was the true artistry beauty and precision in how this nest was constructed.
It must have taken ages to intertwine and build such a thing of engineering complexity.
Nature sure is complex and amazing.
The breeding season usually stretches from September through October and from January through February.
Lesser Masked Weavers are territorial colonial nesters, with colonies of about 10-300 breeding males. Males will mate with up to 5 females (average 2) per breeding season.
The males are responsible for building the nests, which are never used more than once. Each male builds 3 to 5 nests and it takes him about 9 to 14 hours to complete one. Nests are typically attached to the thin branches of free-standing trees. These nests are often built over water to discourage some predators
The nest is usually woven from green strips of reeds, grass leaves or palm blades and once completed is a round structure with a large entrance on the underside.
After completion of the nests, the male will defend his small territory around his nests, displaying to the females, attracting their attention to his nests. If accepted by the female, he will add a short entrance tunnel, while the female lines the interior with soft grass heads and feathers. The female usually lays between 2-5 eggs, which are incubated only by the female for about 12 days. The male assists in feeding the chicks. They young fledge the nest when they are about 17 to 21 days old.
