Frozen water, port cranes and heavy winter air. A calm industrial landscape without decorativeness - on the border of document and cold poetry.
“Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes the precise moment. We play with things that disappear and that, once disappeared, it is impossible to revive. For us, what disappears, disappears forever: hence our anguish and also the essential originality of our trade. What comes out of that camera is no stranger to the economy of a world of waste, where tensions are increasingly intense and where the ecological consequences are already excessive.” Henri Cartier-Bresson
La promenade de la plage de redondo. C'est tellement amusant d'être ici le week-end avec autant de monde.
slab city at the salton sea area of california is the last free place for artists, philosophers, dreamers and protesters who want no part in the current social & environmental inequities of our time.
Captured along the Sungai Santubong River, this image explores the tension between calm water and approaching weather. A sweeping shoreline curves gently through mangroves and moored fishing boats, guiding the eye toward the dark silhouette of the mountain rising beneath a ceiling of dramatic storm clouds.
The artistic concept centres on atmosphere, scale, and contrast. The stillness of the river and the quiet presence of the boats create a grounded human element, while the brooding sky transforms the landscape into something cinematic and powerful. The photograph presents the river as both a place of livelihood and a stage for nature’s changing moods, where land, water, and weather meet in a moment of suspended anticipation.

Ilford Pan F Plus developed in D-23 replenished, photographed on a Bronica ETRS.
A small Fenland outbuilding beside a drain, held between brick, timber, concrete and overgrowth. The image is less about abandonment than use, repair, weathering and the way agricultural edges settle into the landscape.
Nuclear Nature is a documenatry landscape project based on capturing the ever changing face of Dungeness and the surrounding area.
Even since I started visiting, buildings and boats have been lost to storm damage, or vandalism. Therefore my earlier images have become a record of the area, and each time I visit, I expect there to be subtle differences to photograph.
This means "Nuclear Nature" is set to be one of my largest on-going projects, documenting this post-apocalyptic landscape.

Bronica ETRS on Ilford HP5, developed in Bellini Euro HC.
A two-storey brick building beside an apple orchard, with the tree, road and overhead wire holding the frame in a quiet rural arrangement. The building sits less as a subject on its own than as part of a worked landscape: orchard, track, ditch edge, brick, winter branches and utility lines.
Perched on the shoulder of the Rockies, the old Cosmic Ray Station looks less like a scientific outpost and more like a stubborn stone sentinel refusing to yield to the sky. Its red‑trimmed windows and weather‑worn tower stand out against the hard blue above, a reminder that people once climbed all the way up here not for the view, but to measure the invisible particles raining down from space.
Visitors gather around it now, boots crunching in the snow, their breath lifting into the thin alpine air. The building feels both abandoned and alive — a relic of Cold War science set against a landscape that hasn’t changed in millennia. Sunlight glints off the snowfields, clouds drift like slow‑moving ships, and the whole scene carries that unmistakable Banff tension between human ambition and the vast, indifferent mountain world that surrounds it.
À propos du Canon EF 24-70 mm f2.8L, cet objectif rend dur. Il est de nature clinique, tranchant comme un rasoir, dur et froid. Il faut travailler les images en post-traitement pour faire ressortir les impressions ressenties à ce moment-là. C'est plus difficile à faire avec cet objectif.
About the EF 24-70mm f2.8L Canon, this lens renders hard. It is clinical in nature, razor-sharp, harsh and cold. One must work the images post-process to bring out the impressions felt at that moment. It is more difficult to do with this lens.

if you're visiting, this is a nice respite. and across the street is euclid park.
si vous êtes en visite, c'est un bon répit. et de l'autre côté de la rue se trouve parc euclid.

Nikon D800 with Nikkor Auto-S 50mm f/1.4.
A weathered green barn door set into an old brick wall, partly overtaken by ivy. The image works through surface and enclosure: brick, slate, corrugated roof, damp timber, roadside verge and the slow pressure of growth over a rural building.
A quiet sunrise over the rural edges of Mansoura, where the silhouettes of city buildings fade gently into misty farmland.
Warm golden light floods the landscape, blending urban geometry with organic vegetation.
The scene captures a calm transitional moment — nature waking up while the city slowly emerges from the haze.
My obsession with dead trees continues... lining the horizon, and some fresh snow emerging from the mist. So Patagonian.
i have been in this city since 1976, and this pizza place was already here.
Je suis dans cette ville depuis 1976 et cette pizzeria était déjà ici.
ilford xp2 super. One of my all-time favorite lenses is the 35mm f2.5 Color-Skopar. Often talked down upon for its optical shortcomings, I cannot find them and if I am seeing it, I have no objections whatsoever. It is very sharp, crystalline, and the out-of-focus rendering is very pleasing. Another one that puzzles me is its reasonable price tag, which some people regard as proof of its many flaws. I see no flaws, and I am not one who photographs resolution charts to get my jollies.

"DESCRIPTION: cast bronze statue of Alonzo G. Cook, mounted on a 2-foot square bronze plinth.
Dr. Alonzo Gerry Cook arrived in 1874 and bought 160 acres from the Stearns Ranchos, with which he founded what was then called the village of Garden Grove.
The statue was dedicated in celebration of the City's 50th anniversary of its founding on June 18, 1956." --Public Art in Public Places www.publicartinpublicplaces.info/alonzo-g-cook-statue-2006
when i was here, a young person was following me around, looking around corners to watch me; following me behind my back to make sure I don't vandalize the place or steal things. after i was finished photographing, two white skateboarders came and began skating around, doing "ollies" and grinding the edges of concrete and stonework. the young person following me was nowhere to be found. i won't tell you what i think, but just put yourself in my place.
This image captures the threshold between road and rainforest at the boundary of Kampung Mayang Mawang. The curving lane becomes a visual invitation, leading beneath the welcome sign and into a landscape shaped by palms, banana trees, and densely forested hills.
The composition balances human presence with tropical abundance: a simple rural road cuts through vibrant vegetation, while the distant mountains anchor the scene in a wider sense of place. Bright sunlight, deep greens, and an open blue sky give the photograph an uplifting, cinematic quality—celebrating arrival, identity, and the quiet beauty of a village landscape.
