During lockdown we were told to shop for essential supplies only. Some of my make up ran out over the months, though it hardly mattered because I wasn't wearing much.
Now I'm out again and I declare make up to be essential supplies, so I went shopping.

It’s been a while since my last post on Flickr, but this year has been non-stop with travels! 🌎
Here’s the first of a 12-image series retracing my incredible year.
December
The story behind this shot:
I had just finished a private photography tour in Colombia and decided to extend my stay in Cartagena for an extra day to revisit some hotels and restaurants. As I wandered the streets, I stumbled upon this stunning shadow play—something I’d never seen before! It was one of those rare moments that only happen during the solstice and last no more than five minutes.
Instinctively, I looked around, hoping to spot a Palenquera strolling by to complete the frame. But no one was there. I waited, walked every corner, and watched as the shadow began to fade.
Here’s where patience—a photographer’s most essential quality—makes all the difference. Since I can work from anywhere, I decided to stay one more day. The next morning, I arranged to meet with a Palenquera, and she happily agreed to collaborate.
And voilà, here it is! Pretty happy with the result.

The city fire department is ready to fight a residential blaze using its mobile hose unit!
This photo was taken by an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and SMC PENTAX 67 1:4 45mm lens with a HOYA 82mm HMC Y[K2] filter using Bergger Pancro 400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
There’s something about Zion National Park that just blows me away and it’s not hard to call it my favorite National Park. I think it’s because of the unique hikes that lead to some amazing views. Drive up Zion Canyon, for example, and you can find yourself hiking in the Virgin River as 400 foot red rock walls close in on you, creating the slot canyon known as The Narrows. I first visited The Narrows with Willie and Yan a few years ago and immediately wanted to go back.
Typically people rent special dry-pants, water shoes and hiking poles to make walking through the river easier. I own my own gear and that meant I could hop on the first bus to the Narrows plunge right into the river. Arriving early at The Narrows meant we had the entire canyon mostly to oureslves. By the time I left 5 hours later the entire place was packed like a zoo with curious tourists. I named this photo "Essential" because it's a hike that everyone must do at least once in their lifetime ... just make sure to go early and avoid the hordes of people who agree with me.
About 4 miles into the Narrows you arrive at a section known as “Wall Street”, it’s where the canyon walls close in just a little more and the walls start to glow orange as the rising sun hits the upper areas and reflects down into the canyon. After walking through the entire Wall Street section I turned back and came across this section that was glowing so intensely that I had to stop.

Water droplets from the tip of a plastic plant watering system.
For water drop photography, a steady source of drops is essential. I found a cheap but effective solution by using an Indoor Plants Drip Irrigation Set that have a regulator to control drip rate.

A camera toss series. I hadn't done any of these in a long time and thought it good to revisit the bare essentials considering it was a camera I had not used for the technique yet. A single white LED provides the light source, exposures vary from .7sec to 2sec. What is produced is essentially an inverted physiogram (inverted in that it illustrates camera motion rather than subject motion) and can tell you alot about the movement possible with a given model of camera.
I also had been meaning to do this simplistic series for a while, because I feel achieving something aesthetically wonderful does not require an overly complicate light source, the beauty is ultimately due to the motion.
All images in this series are directly from my Kodak Easyshare 3.1mp camera, no hotoshop, no cropping or manipulation other than image rotation.

Looking to the northeast from the top visitor deck at Petrin Tower, the St Vitus Cathedral and the surrounds show just a hint of shade on this otherwise fine-weather day.

I shot this blindly; had to take the camera apart, stick it through a hole in the fence, and put it back together on the other side...
