the floor becomes a canvas, washed in a strange twilight between departure and arrival. a lone silhouette drags its luggage through purple light, frozen mid-stride like a memory caught between yesterday and somewhere else. the body is absent, but the shape tells the story—movement, weight, solitude. this is the stillness of travel, the echo of steps never heard, the shape of someone who has already gone.

We have quite a few Iris in our garden, and most of them now are either blooming or getting ready to bloom. There are many varieties with different combinations of color. Every morning I go outside and look for new bloomers to exploit.

The briefest of bright intervals highlights the wall leading to a tree on the horizon as a fierce squall blows in. Vertical pano, 2 hand held shots, not easy in that wind even with the wall to rest on!
Sometimes, when composing a shot, it's a case of "it's behind you!". While up at Sharpitor, composing a shot looking towards Leather Tor and Burrator reservoir, I looked behind me and saw this view looking Northwest over the moor.

The Hearth and the Horizon: Everyday Life in 9th Century Scandinavia
This cinematic collection offers an intimate glimpse into the daily existence of Norse communities during the 9th century. Moving beyond the legends of warriors, these images explore the quiet strength and rich culture of a people deeply connected to their land and sea.
The series captures the intricate details of Viking life: from the skilled hands of an artisan carving ancient patterns into wood and the rhythmic labor of shearing wool, to the warmth of communal feasts shared under the soft glow of candlelight. We witness the innocence of childhood as children play with runes in the earth or learn the art of the bow in birch forests. The collection also highlights the vital relationship with the sea, showcasing bustling harbors filled with longships and fresh catches, alongside the serene beauty of gathering herbs by the fjords. Each frame is a tribute to the craftsmanship, resilience, and domestic harmony of the Viking Age.

Had some fun with a model friend trying to recreate some Audrey Hepburn portraits the other day. This one is my favorite from the day!
Ein Kontrabass auf der Bühne, getaucht in das dramatische Licht roter und blauer Scheinwerfer. Eine elektrisierende Atmosphäre vor dem Auftritt.
in black and white, the world fades away. his gaze pierces through the lens, and suddenly it is just him and you. no distractions, no artifice. the contrast of light and shadow carves out his story with precision, the timelessness of the monochrome drawing you in. he doesn’t speak, but you hear everything.

Broadleys Gate farm, near Newbiggin, Teesdale, lit by a brief break in the dark cloud cover.
Had the opportunity to photograph local Bay Area artist, Amiel " Summer Breeze " Maquilan, today. Unfortunately, the weather today was horrible in the Bay Area with lots of rain. So we kept the shoot indoors.
Summer Breeze is a down to earth musician and a pleasure to photograph. I also had a great time shooting with my brother in law, DreamWorldPhotoArt, today. Thanks to the both of you for a fun afternoon. Make sure to check out his music. This kid is very talented.
more to come

A wintry scene in the Hudes Hope, high in the North Pennines AONB near Middleton in Teesdale. The small building on the valley floor is the Grade II listed remains of the Marl Beck mine shop.
A vertical version (taken a few minutes later) of the horizontal I posted a few days ago.
The info: Every time I come home to Southern California via the Grapevine and Interstate 5, I notice how beautiful the rolling hills of the San Emigdio mountains are as you approach the Tejon Pass from the north--and also note that it's a tough spot to get a good pic, and I never seem to time it when the light is really good. This weekend, however, storm clouds moving over the mountains in late afternoon cast some nice dramatic light, and the hills have begun to green up (as they do in the winter) from all the rain we've had recently. I found a good spot where I could take aim at the edges of Tejon Ranch, and made the most of the light before continuing on home.

A sinister dark sky background emphasizes the bright yellow flowering oilseed rape crops as a storm moves up from the south. Taken looking west from near Hutton Magna, Teesdale.

A common sight throughout much of Iceland during June/July is large fields of vibrant purple nootka, or Alaskan lupine. The flower looks at home in this landscape, but was actually introduced in 1945 to lowland areas in the southwest as a means to add nitrogen to the soil and also to function as an anchor for organic matter. Lupine has since flourished here, spreading to other regions like a wildfire, in almost effortless competition with the other species already in residence. Critics of this initiative view the flower as an invasive species that is threatening low-growing mosses and other native plants. Erosion is the gravest environmental problem Iceland faces today. Foliage loss, and ultimately soil erosion, occurs across the island, due largely to the extreme conditions of the environment, in particular the high winds. Some cite the free-ranging sheep as an added threat, with their constant grazing on already scant plant growth. Measures have been taken to encourage new growth that would create anchors for the remaining soil, but these approaches have been controversial.
We all have photos in our mind we want to take, way before we actually visit the place. Lupine fields were definitely one of those visions for me before going to Iceland. After arrival to Iceland I had a chance to photograph some fields with reasonably good light before this shot, however when we stopped at this scene, I knew it was a winner for me. It was bit adventurous as we had to cross an electric fence (functioning) to get to this field, for that we have been rewarded with amazing light, misty mood, beautiful colors in the sky and nearly no wind which allowed me to take 10s exposure without blurring lupine flowers.

The River Balder (lower left) meets the River Tees at Cotherstone, as seen from the Tees Valley Way long distance footpath. A morning of damp and drizzle but also with patches of watery sunshine creating a dramatic scene under a dark sky.
Sometimes emotion doesn’t need motion, it lingers, still and steady, in the quiet gaze of a single moment. This portrait captures the calm defiance that lives behind the eyes, the kind that doesn’t shout or break, but holds its ground softly, like light against shadow.
Shot as part of my ongoing fine art portrait series, this image explores resilience, identity, and inner stillness through minimalism and tone. The texture of light, the grain of the skin, the shadow that breathes around the form, together they create not just a photograph, but a conversation between strength and silence.
This rose was given to us by friends who know their way around a rose garden. They grew it and cared for it, and all I had to do was light it and photograph it. Not bad.
Strobist info: The main light was from an SB600 in a softbox, camera right at 5 o'clock, and the fill light was a SB700 in a softbox at about 7 o'clock. Both in manual mode and triggered by the pop up flash on my D90 in Commander mode.
Other plants and flowers that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...

In a single heartbeat, bodies collide and time bends—this is where resolve meets resistance, where grit is measured not by the scoreboard but by the will to hold on. One lunges forward, eyes on the try line; the other digs deep, anchoring his team’s last hope in a blur of instinct and adrenaline. Every blade of grass is a battlefield. This is rugby in its rawest poetry—a suspended instant of chaos and commitment, where courage wraps itself around the ball and refuses to let go.

The conservation village of Barningham, County Durham brighty lit by a break in the rather dramatic cloud cover. Remnants of heavy snow from nearly a month previoulsy can still be seen on the moor behind the village.
