For just a few seconds, a hole in the 10/10ths cloud cover formed creating quite dramatic light and vivid shades of green on this patch of farmland near Wycliffe, Teesdale

This photo holds the moment when the lines begin to move, not just across your skin, but into your spirit. They mesmerize, like whispers of a pattern you’ve known. It’s as if the light is sending a message to your future self, a quiet reminder to align, to be present, to flow with the rhythm of life. In these shadows and stripes, there’s order, there’s chaos, and there’s you, somewhere between, becoming whole.
First portraits of 2020 were made on January 26, 2020. My 92 year old grandfather, Jewell Still. Love and respect this man very much.

I'm still searching for that perfect Boston Skyline shot from the Cambridge side of the Charles River. I feel truly blessed every morning I have a chance to shoot from this shoreline. It won't always be this convenient, so I'm going to take advantage. Took this one from underneath an umbrella.

Europe - Finland - Suomi - North of the Arctic Circle - Finnish Lapland - Lappland - Lapponia under fresh cover of snow during winter time
No single Northern Lights photo does true justice to what is happening on the sky during those unique moments when Northern Lights appear. After incredible experience of capturing my first ever timelapse in Iceland last year, I've headed to Frozen land of Arctic Lapland to capture Northern Lights under snowy landscape, which is often difficult to find along the coast. Average temperatures around - 25C dont make it particularly friendly experience, but the one which will always be treasured.

Winter sunshine in this view looking down the dale towards Middle Side from Holwick, under a dark sky.
Carved by the slow and relentless forces of nature, the famous hole of Torghatten pierces straight through the mountain on the island of Torget in Brønnøy, Norway. Standing here, looking westward toward the sea, it feels like a passage between worlds — a gateway where rock, light, and ocean meet.
According to legend, the hole was created when the troll Hestmannen shot an arrow after a fleeing maiden. The mountain king of Sømna threw his hat to save her, and as the rising sun turned them all to stone, the hat became Torghatten — with the arrow’s path forming the hole we see today.
Fun fact: The hole is 160 meters long, 35 meters high, and 20 meters wide — large enough to walk through, with a stunning view of the Helgeland coast on the other side.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away....
In a dark studio where the laws of physics seem negotiable, a green apple hangs suspended in mid-air while a carefully aimed blade divides it into perfect segments. Built around timing, illusion and a touch of visual trickery, the image transforms an everyday object into something that appears impossible. Sometimes photography is less about recording reality and more about convincing the eye to question it.
Fun fact: The human brain is remarkably willing to accept visual illusions. When lighting, perspective and timing work together, a still photograph can make impossible events appear completely believable, at least for a moment.
Strobe info: 2 Elinchrom 400WS lights wtih softboxes places on both sides of the model approx 45° angle.
I tested triggertrap for this project.

That quiet moment when becoming feels heavier than staying the same.
There is a moment in adolescence where silence becomes louder than words.
Where thoughts pile up behind the eyes, and the world feels too heavy to answer all at once.
This portrait is about that in-between space, caught between who you were and who you are becoming. The hands aren’t hiding the face as much as they are holding everything together. The gaze remains steady, searching, unresolved. Not defeated, just listening.
Growing up is rarely loud or dramatic. More often, it is internal. A quiet negotiation with doubt, expectation, and identity. This image lives in that pause, where strength hasn’t fully formed yet, but neither has surrender.
Another shot of Cara.
I tried to edit this one a bit more 'moody' and 'edgy'
....but its still tender.

Wrapped in layers of fabric and time, this enigmatic figure carries the weight of untold stories. His gaze, hidden yet piercing, speaks of resilience, survival, and a life woven with mystery. Every texture, every thread, and every shadow tells a tale—one that invites the viewer to look closer and wonder.
(Over the next two weeks, I'll be sharing a series of street shots, featuring both portraits and street scenes, from my past visits to the Philippines where I immersed myself in street photography.)

This is my husband and one of my kitties gazing out the window watching the first snow fall. I thought I would try spot metering, partly because everyone I talk to about it says don't use it; and, I was hoping to get some dramatic lighting.

Europe - Scandinavia - Norway - North of the Arctic Circle - Lofoten Island - Moskenes - Hamnoy - Hamnøy - Picturesque fishing village under fresh cover of snow during pink sunset
Guilty as charged - one of the most photographed locations on Lofoten, but I simply could not help myself, because if there is A place to stay in Lofoten, it surely must be these cabins which might look like those traditional fisherman cabins from outside... but they are no longer anything like that inside. Wonderful interior, very different from when we stayed there 10 years ago.

I previously posted a colored version of this same angle but a different long exposure. I figured it was worth going back and doing one silver and black from the rest of the lot. I went back and forth with this one and another exposure. At the end of the day this one was more striking, so I went with it. This is Boston's best skyscraper in my opinion, we could use a couple more like it.

A girl stands calmly beneath an umbrella as glowing steel wool sparks rain down in this dramatic long exposure shot, taken in front of an old abandoned fire truck.
We were out photographing and we were walking in the city Xanten, suddenly out of nowhere this leaf fell on the ground and it just lay there. I grabbed my camera and shot the leaf, this is a once in the leaf lifetime opportunity.
A monochrome portrait suspended between glow and shadow — the subject leaning into a window’s soft mercy while the darker room pulls at the edges. The light traces the cheekbone like a memory trying to return, while the curtain breathes its own quiet story. This is a moment of stillness that feels like a threshold: half confession, half invocation. A study in contrast, vulnerability, and the quiet power of being seen without armor.
I.
The window keeps its vigil, patient as an old friend,
letting the morning spill its truth across my face.
Shadow gathers behind me like a history I’ve outgrown,
yet still I lean toward the light, unafraid of its naming.
II.
Some rooms hold their breath when you enter,
as if waiting for the version of you that never arrived.
But here, the silence feels earned,
a soft throne carved from the ache of becoming.
III.
I tilt my head toward the brightness,
letting it map the terrain of my unspoken thoughts.
Every highlight a confession,
every shadow a promise I haven’t broken yet.
IV.
The curtain whispers its thin voiced blessing,
a veil between what I was and what I’m willing to claim.
Even the dust seems to rise in reverence,
catching the light like tiny, wandering saints.
V.
There is a tenderness in leaning,
in letting the world hold you without resistance.
The window frame becomes a quiet altar,
and I, a pilgrim of my own unfolding.
VI.
The dark behind me is not an enemy,
only the echo of rooms I’ve already survived.
It clings out of habit, not hunger,
and I no longer mistake its weight for destiny.
VII.
Light sketches me with deliberate hands,
as if sculpting a future I haven’t dared to imagine.
I feel the shape of myself returning,
slow, steady, sovereign.
VIII.
So I stay here, between glow and shadow,
letting both claim their rightful place.
For this is the portrait of a life in transition—
a face learning to remember its own radiance.
I was treated to golden light from the later afternoon sun, while coming down off Snowdon on the Watkin Path. Snowdonia National Park, Wales.
