What the Last Evening Will Be Like
by Edward Hirsch
You're sitting at a small bay window
in an empty café by the sea.
It's nightfall, and the owner is locking up,
though you're still hunched over the radiator,
which is slowly losing warmth.
Now you're walking down to the shore
to watch the last blues fading on the waves.
You've lived in small houses, tight spaces—
the walls around you kept closing in—
but the sea and the sky were also yours.
No one else is around to drink with you
from the watery fog, shadowy depths.
You're alone with the whirling cosmos.
Goodbye, love, far away, in a warm place.
Night is endless here, silence infinite.

When Great Trees Fall
by Maya Angelou
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

Learned a lot doing this single piece, at first I wanted to make a sunset beach view but it wasn’t coming together the way I wanted so I turned off the sun light and began building a city scape in the background to turn it into a night scene.
Taking a shot with a good windlight is just the beginning. This picture, actually, is the blend of 12 shots with different windlights.
There's a light and shadow job I did manually over the blend, and dozens of corrections too. Finally, there are some photo overlays to tune the mood.
I'm still learning, and the process takes a lot o time, but the result is much better than a single shot.
That's the reason I use to say this is not a phot, but a concept art.
Down by the river at a secret spot I shot for coming up on 10 years now. Shot it in every season from summer to snow covered, sun and rain, never had an issue or a problem . At times i'd spend an entire day framing on a tripod and shooting...
I went back a few weeks ago and saw that someone had broken into the building, trashed a ton of things on the ground that were fine the last time I was there, windows broken out and what looked like a path where they were taking things that they were stealing. I kept this place a secret for 9.5 years . You cant see whats there from the road in either direction. I told 4 other people about it a few months back , all photographers as I was coming to the end of ideas down there and its time to move on.
I went back today to shoot with a lens I never used there before and there are No Trespassing signs all over the place now and you can see more damage has been done. I pray that nobody I told ran their mouth and facilitated this happening because it would be a damn shame. Either or, Karma never forgets a face, trust in that.
This is the last shot I took there today, sadly it'll be the last l ever take down there.
Nikon Nikkor 85mm f1.4 AIS @2.8. No tripod. No Photoshop foolery.
Thanks as always for looking guys! Appreciate all of you.
Well, back to the old sketchbook for inspiration. Could you use a boring machine to move around the ice? Underneath the snow or on the surface? Ah who cares, it looks hellacool!
Our latest art collaboration. R. Keith Clontz and Leah Spitz Art Project.
Featuring model Shania Spencer Burleson.
Another image come to life from the imagination of Leah. This was one our more difficult, or at least more tedious projects but after many hours, both of us of editing over the last month we finally have the image looking pretty much to our satisfaction.
