Glossy paint, sharp rims, taut canvas roof — every detail speaks of precision.
Behind it, an old house bears the marks of decades.
Winter becomes the neutral ground where past and present quietly confront each other.

sometimes, the best portraits aren’t planned. they just happen when the light is low, the atmosphere is thick with stories, and a stranger catches your eye. this man sat on a bench on paseo del borne in palma, the soft hum of post-sunset conversations around him. his face, framed by a long, majestic beard, held a certain defiance—rockstar energy, effortless cool, and an edge of mystery. his double sunglasses? an unapologetic flex that perfectly matched his vibe. it’s not about perfection; it’s about presence. enjoy the moment.

Sharjah (Arabic: الشارقة) is one of the emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The emirate covers 2,600 km² (1,003 mi²) and has a population of over 800,000 (2008). The emirate of Sharjah comprises the city of Sharjah (the seat of the emirate), and other minor towns and enclaves such as Kalba, Dibba Al-Hisn and Khor Fakkan. Sharjah also claims two islands, Sir Abu Nu’ayr and Abu Musa, with the latter claim being disputed and the island being controlled by Iran.
Historically, Sharjah was one of the wealthiest towns in this region with a settlement in existence for over 5000 years. In the early 18th century Al Qasimi clan (Huwala tribe) established itself in Sharjah, c. 1727 declaring Sharjah independent. On 8 January 1820, Sheikh Sultan I signed the General Maritime Treaty with Britain, accepting a protectorate to keep the Ottoman Turks out. Like four of its neighbours, Ajman, Dubai, Ras al-Khaimah, and Umm al-Qaiwain, its position on the route to India made it important enough to be recognized as a salute state.

There was a very brief moment when the sun looked like it was going to come out (it's been raining pretty steadily here in Portland) so I headed over to this location that is 5 min. from my house and grabbed a shot with the cherry trees singing in the amazing light that lasted another 10 min. before the next storm took the light away.
Lucerne (Luzern), Switzerland in dramatic afternoon light. The light was so great I could not resist taking a tourist shot.
Lucerne (Luzern in German) was originally called Luciaria, which has been interpreted as "place of light" although other interpretations also exist.
This was taken during a short cruise on Lake Lucerne (I really slipped into the role of a tourist for a day) which turned out to be a great one-hour activity to do - beautiful views and an informative audioguide initiating the listeners to local sights and some history, or reviewing it.

"The mystical ambiance of a Gothic cathedral, where stained glass windows paint the stone with celestial hues."
"L'ambiance mystique d'une cathédrale gothique, où les vitraux peignent la pierre de teintes célestes."
Taken this Morning in the Glorious Light that lasted for over an hour and a half after sunrise, this is a barrier wall at the beach at Greenwich Point

Vivid autumn colours, strong sunshine and a super sky in this view of a swollen River Tees at High Force Waterfall. Taken from the viewpoint on the Pennine Way long distance footpath which passes to the left of the waterfall.
Abstract geometry of industrial forms emerging from deep shadow. A single shaft of light highlights the strict, repeating rhythm of metal gears against the chaotic, organic curves of coiled rubber tubes, creating a dense cinematic composition.
I love the way the clouds almost seem to bend over this tree. I wish the tree itself was more photogenic, and that I had been able to get more of it in frame.

Yup, this is an icon in photography terms... I had nice weather for sunset but was just 5 min. LATE !! The light on the arch had just faded when my buddy and myself finally got here. I think this is nice enough to share with you all, but I look forward to going back again in the next year and trying to get a more dynamic version.

“A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.”
In this image, the protagonist pulls a chain with both hands: each link looks solid, bright, compact. But at the center there is one fragile point—darker, worn, weaker. And that is exactly where the chain gives way.
It is a truth that always applies: a system does not break where it is strong, it breaks where it is vulnerable. One weak link is enough to compromise the whole structure.
This is a virtual image created with Artificial Intelligence.
Not to replace photography or “pure” art, but to use a contemporary medium as a symbolic language. I do not become a slave to the machine: I use it to build metaphors, to provoke thought, and to remind human beings who they are—before any system, or any technology, tries to devour them.
Light makes all the difference - by day only a boring beech grove, at night correspondingly illuminated a gate to fantasy land
Moai statues are the iconic monolithic figures of Easter Island (Rapa Nui), a Chilean territory in the Pacific. This small wooden statue was a bought from a gift shop in Santiago in 2023.
Ok, one more mountain profile over some delicious light. This was one of those days where everywhere you looked there was another photo to be had. This mountain face was in a lot of my photos from the trip, but this was the only time I was able to give it it's own tiem to shine!
Neat!
On Saturday evening I decided to go to Sandy Point, Hayling Island, Hampshire to have a go at capturing the sunset.
The weather conditions were not favourable with lots of heavy black clouds but with some breaks on the horizon, the tide was low providing interesting reflected light on the wet sand!
I decided to try and add some drama to the composition by going for a long exposure using a Lee Little Stopper ND filter to provide some movement in the clouds!
74 second exposure using Lee Little Stopper 6 Stop ND filer with 0.6 ND grad over the sky.

When you travel in Mongolia, you are constantly in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing. It might sound strange by it was actually one of highlights of the trip.

of 1997. We drove through the tunnel 'ten minutes' before Princess Diana was killed there... Our hotel, one mile from the tragic scene... Another senseless moment forever etched in my mind... RIP Diana]

From a distant vantage point, I captured Mont Vallier as storm clouds created an atmospheric theater above its peaks. The layered ridges fade into deeper blues while dramatic light breaks through the turbulent sky, emphasizing the raw power of the Pyrenean landscape.

Looking up the dale over part of Holwick from Bell Farm near Newbiggin. Bright sunshine as far as Cronkley Fell, with Force Garth quarry, East and West Force Garth Farms, Strathmore Lodge, Hield House, Holwick Head and the High Force Hotel lit. Cronkley Fell and Scar in shadow in the background.
Amidst the night fog, a sinister figure emerges, axe in hand, casting an eerie shadow. Is it fear taking hold, or merely a trick of light and darkness?
(Dans la brume nocturne, une silhouette sinistre émerge, hache en main, projetant une ombre inquiétante. Est-ce la peur qui s'empare de nous, ou simplement un jeu de lumière et d'ombre ?)
"I've always been inspired by the Hollywood publicity photos taken during the Golden Age of Hollywood by George Hurrell and Sinclair Bull. Whenever I get a chance, I like to try to incorporate some of those elements into my portraits. For this shot of Bre, I used the Fotodiox 28 inch Beauty Dish with no diffusion as the key light. The backlight is a Fotodiox 12x56 stipbox with grid."

Silhouettes of fellow ferry riders pause at sunset, phones lifted as the Hudson turns to glass and the skyline glows. A quiet, shared moment between water, light, and a city winding down.
Standing beneath the towering geometry of the modern city, the sculpture evokes innocence confronting the scale of an urban future. The monochrome treatment transforms the financial district into a cold and dreamlike stage where childhood imagination appears both fragile and timeless.

Bir Ali is located on the spectacular coast road and it is surrounded by white sand dunes, green rocky mountains and black lava deposits. You can spend your afternoon swimming or relaxing on a white sand beach or spend overnight in beach huts. The surrounding coast is a mixture of volcanic landscape and occasional patches of sand dunes.
