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.
in the spirit of collaboration

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
Taken on a stormy day at Canyonlands National Park.

This is the iris I picked yesterday, but lit from beneath so that the petals seem to glow.
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 do this. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...

Sometimes the smallest faces carry the biggest emotions.
In this quiet moment, tears tell a story words cannot. Vulnerability, innocence, and resilience meet in a single expression. There is no performance here. No posing. Just pure feeling, captured as it happened.
I am drawn to moments like this because they remind us that strength is not always loud. Sometimes it lives in softness. In honesty. In letting ourselves feel.
This portrait is part of my ongoing fine art work exploring childhood emotion, connection, and human vulnerability through natural light and intimate framing.
Thank you for taking a moment to pause here with me.
Balade en famille au bord de la mer. Silhouettes qui se détachent sur l’océan scintillant sous un ciel chargé. Noir & blanc dramatique capturé avec le Fujifilm X-T4. Un de ces moments simples et forts qui restent gravés.

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.
