Another sinkhole in the Dead Sea region, filled with striking green water.
This is more than just a surreal landscape — it’s a scar on the Earth, growing deeper with every passing year.
The ground continues to collapse due to the dropping water level and human activity.
I stand close to the edge, not just as a traveler, but as a witness.
I believe it’s important to dedicate at least one photo to this — to remind ourselves that we still have time to act.
There’s still a chance to protect what’s left of this incredible place.

I'm finally getting around to putting together a slide show of our trip to red rock country in the fall of 2012, and I came across this image from Canyonlands National Park in Utah. As a confirmed procrastinator, I put it off as long as I could, but I have a deadline. We don't get much weather in San Diego county where I live, so it was pretty exciting for us when the thunder and lightning started shortly after this picture was taken.

And now for something completely different...
I spotted this intimate little vignette on the side of Silver Falls in Mount Rainier National Park today while leading a workshop down there. The falls were really horribly lit and there wasn't much to shoot other than macros of sorts. Looking at the falls, I noticed some small highlights moving across some of the orange-ish rocks which were getting very lightly splashed by the falls and thought it'd make a good study in high contrast. The idea here was to expose precisely for the highlit area, rendering everything else in deep shadow, the result of which is...wait for it...golden.
Yes, you get a kickass picture and a bad pun at the same time. I'm so generous.
Day 18/365
Romped around Cragmillar (gaelic for ‘high bare rock) in the sun and wind today when very suddenly great blue black, rain heavy clouds billowed in. I had picked up an extraordinary red leaf that felt in it’s redness like an exterior beating heart or a juicy secret. I hid it from the storm.

Under the hush of a winter sky, the field is both stage and silence. All eyes rest on one boy, a single figure beneath the floodlights, shouldering the quiet weight of the moment. Behind him, the team waits. Before him, the dark stretches long. And the ball...waits to be lifted into flight by courage.

A quiet backstage moment after the performance has ended. Hidden behind the curtain, a performer removes stage makeup, slowly leaving the character behind and returning to everyday life.
The audience is gone, the applause has faded, and only the private ritual remains. In the warm backstage light, this intimate scene captures the transition between performance and reality, public identity and the person beneath it.
11 Days to wander the northern part of Norway on my own with only my camera and a rental car to keep my company. It was a magnificent road trip that took me to the tip of Lofoten, into the winding fjords of Senja, and through the surrounding fjords. The weather was challenging most days, but also delivered incredible natural light.

The Human Spectrum: A Cinematic Exploration of Archetypes
This collection presents a series of high-concept portraits that bridge the gap between classical photographic aesthetics and contemporary digital innovation. Drawing deep inspiration from the iconic staging and dramatic lighting characteristic of Annie Leibovitz, these images explore diverse human conditions through a lens of heightened realism.
From the quiet, weathered solitude of a cellist in a decaying room to the vibrant, neon-drenched kinetic energy of a midnight sprint, each frame serves as a standalone narrative. The series meticulously plays with light—using soft sunbeams in a cluttered bedroom, harsh spotlights over a chessboard, and the cold, clinical glow of a laboratory—to evoke specific emotional responses. This work is an exercise in texture, mood, and the boundary-pushing capabilities of modern generative tools, reimagining traditional portraiture for the digital age.
These images have been generated by Artificial Intelligence.

A-Z through the DSM IVr
I: Insomnia
Insomnia is most often defined by an individual's report of sleeping difficulties. While the term is sometimes used in sleep literature to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, insomnia is often defined as a positive response to either of two questions: "Do you experience difficulty sleeping?" or "Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?"
Thus, insomnia is most often thought of as both a sign and a symptom that can accompany several sleep, medical, and psychiatric disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. One definition of insomnia is "difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep, or nonrestorative sleep, associated with impairments of daytime functioning or marked distress for more than 1 month."
Insomnia can be classified as transient, acute, or chronic.
Transient insomnia lasts for less than a week. It can be caused by another disorder, by changes in the sleep environment, by the timing of sleep, severe depression, or by stress. Its consequences - sleepiness and impaired psychomotor performance - are similar to those of sleep deprivation.
Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of less than a month.
Chronic insomnia lasts for longer than a month. It can be caused by another disorder, or it can be a primary disorder. Its effects can vary according to its causes. They might include muscular fatigue, hallucinations, and/or mental fatigue; but people with chronic insomnia often show increased alertness. Some people that live with this disorder see things as if they are happening in slow motion, wherein moving objects seem to blend together. Can cause double vision.
Not as good as yesterday's picture but I'm just lucky I did a picture at all...not really in the mood for anything today.

I've been very critical of myself lately, been nit picking at little things that bother me about myself. Some of it is my character in general and how narrow minded I can be sometimes. It's difficult for me to focus on the big picture and not just the little things that stick out.
I'm still feeling a bit uninspired lately and not taking as much photos as I used to I miss that connection with my camera as cheesy as it sounds. I know I'm just lazy Lol
I been working on my daily schedule and finding more time to get mandatory things done and finished which make's me feel better at least. I love getting through the day and know that I've completed something that I started. Anyways Happy Thursday flickr friends.
I'm packing my bags and heading to Viva Las Vegas tomorrow with the family. If anyone is in the area hit me up! :}

With the jacket on the floor, I was able to secure the peppers. I figured out that heavy duty double-sided ATG tape (the kind used for picture framing) works to stick the peppers to the jacket.
I had to stuff the jacket with a pillow, and a rolled-up towel inside the sleeves. The white cards made it easier to “cut” the peppers out of the background.
I had about 12 red peppers to work with so I laid them out in batches on the jacket, starting with the lapels. I took several photos and stitched them together.
The fire photo was taken from my library of stock images.
I know I haven't been uploading. I have thousands and thousands of photos in my hard drive from this year alone. Unfortunately I've been really busy. Now my phone is not being very responsive, so I've been contacting people via email.
Oh right, new lens!
