Image heavily adjusted. Photographer not.
The story of this goes:
The owner was against prohibition. Lobbied to stop its passage. When law passed he allowed quests to drink at his hotel, although hotel bar was closed.
these are the bottles consumed by quests at the Broadmoor Hotel during Prohibition.
Something new. Worked with Lucy at Lee's Studio this weekend. She was fantastic to work with and loved her collaborative spirit. I shot 60 frames on 120 film that I have to send out for development and scanning.
Part of the work we did was do double exposures on film, something I've never done and I look forward to seeing how (if) they turn out.
Luke Ramsey is awesome. He creates beautiful, intricate pieces of artwork that include zines, murals, paintings and prints. He also runs Islands Fold, an independent publisher and artist residency in B.C., Canada.
We ran into Luke last summer at the Portland Zine Symposium, and saw him sketching in a Scout Book! Quickly gave him another, and within weeks he had filled it up and sent us images. At long last, here is what the fantastic Luke Ramsey did with the 32 grid pages of a Scout Book.
Awesome! Thanks, Luke.
something different for me... trying for a crumpled up photo look, not sure if I acheieved that, but my grandaughter loves to pose! Happy Slider Sunday
Falu red summer cottages are a common sight in the Scandinavian archipelago. They were often built a long time ago in the 19th or 20th Century. Here is my contemporary take on a Falu red cottage.
Went to Baird Point on the University at Buffalo North Campus yesterday evening with Jeff, Sandra, and Jake, to shoot the sunset, which went quite well. However, I've been wanting to take some night shots there so I had to sneak back later that evening to do so when it was good and dark. My patience paid off.

Surrounded by tall buildings on a recent day trip in to Toronto, bringing out the reflections. Look closely you can just make out the CN tower.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Such a different view to hike our local ski area in summer. I really like this bench, not sure if it is left out in the ski season.

This is the theme for our local camera club this month... playing around with a few edits here.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
I’m often asked how I create my AI photography images—especially by those using the same tools but getting very different results. Here’s a brief tutorial outlining my process for crafting refined AI visuals:
1.Start with a Line Sketch
Create a clean line drawing of your subject. Scan it at a minimum of 300 dpi for optimal clarity—this resolution consistently yields the best results.
2.Recover with AI Photo Tool
Use an AI photo recovery tool to transform your sketch into a base image. I typically select the “Severe” setting to maximize structural fidelity.
3.Enhance with AI Image Tool
Apply an AI image enhancement tool to refine detail. I prefer Version 2 with a 6-pass setting and the “Photography” filter for depth and realism.
4.Retouch for Precision
Use a photography retouch tool to eliminate blemishes, wrinkles, extra fingers, or other AI-generated artifacts. Zoom in closely to catch subtle errors. The lasso tool offers excellent control once mastered.
5.Smooth with Light Enhancement
Apply a light-setting enhancement to correct any smearing from the retouch phase. This step improves lighting, restores clarity, and sharpens the final image.
6.Finalize with Branding
Add your watermark or company symbol to complete the piece and protect your creative identity.

the photo captures a moment of intense focus, where the tattoo artist, adorned with intricate designs, carefully studies his craft. the play of light and shadow on his face and arms highlights his dedication and the contrast of his attire—sporting symbols of american sports teams—adds a layer of cultural fusion. this image, set against the dark backdrop of his studio in magaluf, speaks of a man immersed in his passion, embodying both strength and creativity.
This series came out so well. This one reminds me of a person's ribs dancing in a dream. It is a smoke photo that I inverted to give the white background.
If you've been mesmerized by Ilyra Chardin’s visionary underwater city, this is your chance to discover how it was built!
Join us for "The Making of: Coral Dreams – Art Talks," where Ilyra herself will host a live voice session revealing the intense creative process behind the installation.

CK Interviews Katie Cooke at www.chriskeeney.com/
It has been my pleasure to interview and get to know better, the amazing pinhole photographer and artist know on Flickr as Heyoka.
Thanks Katie for taking the time to talk with me and sharing your inspiring
thoughts with all of us!
There are moments when you would most like to sit, a place where you find yourself back here, trying to understand what and where you actually are doing ... but in general, you know, the essence of life ..
This is such a place, this was such a moment, so I can enjoy hours, the silence and tranquility, the view (where possible) in stark contrast with my daily activities.
The combination of fog and trees is a perfect marriage for me, the tight irregular contours which fade as the fog thicker and denser .. tension and relaxation
colorless, but so full of life, lifeless but full of color ....
Er zijn momenten waarin je het liefst zou willen blijven zitten, een plek waar je jezelf weer even terug vindt, probeert te begrijpen wat en waar je eigenlijk mee bezig bent...maar dan in het algemeen, je weet wel, de essentie van het leven..
Dit is zo'n plek, dit was zo'n moment, ik kan me zo uren vermaken, de stilte, de rust, het uitzicht ( voor zover dat mogelijk was) dit in schril contrast met mijn dagelijkse werkzaamheden.
De combinatie van mist en bomen is voor mij een perfect huwelijk, de strakke grillige contouren welke vervagen naarmate de mist dikker en dichter word..spanning en rust,
kleurloos maar zo vol van leven, levenloos maar vol van kleur....

and some creativity
In the hushed ambiance of a Palmanova studio, hands tell a tale of tender transformation. Here, an artisan works with the grace of a sculptor, each gesture shaping beauty from the everyday. These are the hands of a guardian of detail, a nurturer of finesse, guiding tools with the elegance of a painter’s brushstroke. In this close-up world where black meets white, the story unfolds in textures and contrast, each curve and contour a testament to the artisan's commitment to the craft. Not a craftsman, but a craftswoman—her concentration etched in the deliberate dance of her hands, as she turns the ordinary into an object of admiration.
