Covid Boredomâ„¢ has some funny results. I took up baking. This is a loaf of "Back-of-the-bag Oatmeal Bread" that I made at home today.
If interested in making this delicious bread, King Arthur Flour has the recipe online.

Oh, and this idiot shot at 2000 ISO for no good reason. Thank you, Topaz Denoise AI!
The main function of the flat was to be an attractive place for business meetings. Moreover, it was essential to be a multifunctional space for creative and lasting many hours workshops as well. However, it was also necessary to include all functions of a comfortable apartment. Lastly, it had to be a safe and friendly place for a child.

Home. (12/52)
This week has been full of relaxation and lots of memories. I made it my goal to take photos every day this week, and I did. However, that being said, this week has taught me to be spontaneous, always discovering new places. It was wonderful and inspiring, yet very challenging to come up with many new ideas. I had many great outcomes and many not so great outcomes, but overall I was able to find out more about who I am as a photographer by the different themes and ideas I chose to portray.
This photo below means a lot to me. I was wandering through the woods and found this pile of old fences. Not sure where they came from or how they got there, but I knew that they would be used somehow in my photos. As I laid down on the broken fence, the song Home by Gabrielle Aplin started playing through my speaker, (which is one of my favorite songs). The idea for this photo came from that song. Home doesn't have to be your real home. It can be where you are currently, when surrounded by friends, or even by yourself. It's the place you go to dream, to think, and travels with you wherever you go. Home is home - wherever it is, whoever it is with. Even though these fences have been thrown away, they are still home in someone's heart.
"Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?
Home."
I do feel like this is one of my best photos ever shot, and after 10+ hours of editing, I can definitely say it is my favorite. Please comment feedback below!

Silver City, Idaho was established in 1864 at an elevation of 6,200 feet. It once reached a population of 2,500 people but today there are only a few full time residents. Over 70 historic structures remain and many of the houses have become summer vacation homes. Most maintain a picturesque character.
Happy Bench Monday!

Well… I'm back!
Back to Saguaro country.
Motorhome trip, 2011 has come to a close. I just got back a few days ago to home base, in the Phoenix area to settle in for the winter. I left in mid May, so it's been a little over six months on the road.
This trip, I hit Palm Springs, San DIego, Los Angeles, Sequoia, Yosemite, San Francisco, Sonoma Coast, Redwoods, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Reno (the biggest little city in the world), Salt Lake City. Almost forgot… WINNEMUCCA! (The obvious highlight of my trip!) Moab, Durango, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Williams, Grand Canyon, Page, Bryce, Flagstaff, Sedona…….. That's it.
I'm done! It was kind of a mixed bag this summer. Funny… It's was the total opposite of last summer. Last year I went to boring places that I really didn't like, and got surprisingly nice shots. It was 105 degrees and miserable everywhere I went. Somehow, I was really happy with most of what I got last year. This time, I had the dream trip. This is the trip I have always wanted to take… The California coast… What could be better than that? California is such a beautiful state. So… This year, I went to some of the most beautiful places ever, and, week after week, came out with nothin!
So… Now I know, that the summertime weather in California just doesn't really lend itself well to photography. If this was a vacation, then the weather inland would have been fantastic. Unfortunately, as a photographer… The only thing worse than a solid blue sky, is, a solid gray sky! I knew that the California coast was pretty much dismal in May and June. But. Apparently the 'June Gloom', as they call it, extends into July gloom, and, August gloom. The thing I found amazing about California, was how it can be 90 degrees with a solid blue sky, a mile from the coast. Then you drive to the beach and just enter into a wall of gray gloom. So. I spent about 90 days in California. About 40 of them were crystal clear with a solid blue sky. And. About 47 of them were just solid gray and gloomy. So… If you do the math. I had about three really great days of shooting. The days that were great were REALLY great! A stormy day in Yosemite. A foggy day in the Redwoods. A day with an amazing swirly cloud sky at Lake Tahoe. A couple of great sunsets. Sunsets on the coast are nonexistent. The sun just drops behind the gray gloom and you're done. I just couldn't believe, while I was at a campsite along the coast, a little north of San Francisco, when the the news was reporting a record breaking heat wave all across the country. Phoenix was 118º. Palm Springs was 116º… Meanwhile, where I was, it was 45º outside, with 50 MPH wind and a gloomy, gray sky. Really? Am I really turning on my heat, and wearing my winter coat in July while the rest of the country is sweltering?
One repeating pattern I have seen over and over. It's always the day I'm planning to leave that I have the perfect conditions for photography. Usually it's after I actually have left. When I'm driving the motorhome and have no possible way to stop and shoot photos, I can always count on looking out at the most fantastic sky imaginable as I'm driving the motorhome. Yosemite was the perfect example of that. It's hard to imagine going someplace that beautiful and feeling uninspired, but… That's what happened. I would go to a scenic overlook, and look out on the valley, on a crystal clear day, with a solid blue sky, and think… Damn… I got nuthin! Finally, on my very last day there, we had a storm roll through. I was supposed to be checking out of my campsite that morning, but I thought I would take one last loop through the valley, so I headed in to spend one last hour in Yosemite. I came back about 14 hours later. It was INCREDIBLE!!! Of course, I came back to a nasty note stuck on my door saying that I was supposed to check out at 11:00, and I had to come to the office to pay for another night. Whatever.
So. After California, conditions got much better. The trip ended great! The past few weeks I have had some fantastic conditions at the Grand Canyon, Page and Bryce Canyon. COLD!!! But, nice for photography.
I visited Salt Lake City, which really is one of the nicest cities I have ever seen. I met some really creepy friendly people at the Mormon Square. Moab is one of the coolest places in the entire southwest. (I'm still trying to get the red mud off the bottom of my truck) Spent a few days in Durango, one of my favorite places on Earth. Hit the Albuquerque balloon festival, which SUCKED this year! Spent a week in WIlliams, which is a nice town, but doesn't photograph very well. Then Grand Canyon which was COLD! Then finally, Page, which I love!
So… I can't say that I really love the Phoenix area. But… Every year, it feels really nice to settle back in and stop running for a while, after six months on the road. It's nice to not have to wonder where I am going to be next week, and where I am going to find a place to camp once I get there. It's nice to be able to mail order something and actually have an address where I can have it sent. It's nice to know where the grocery store and Home Depot are without having to look it up on a map. It's nice to be able to go to my favorite grocery store and actually know where everything is in the store. It's nice to be back.
I shot this photo just yesterday, in the Superstition Mountains. I took a ride up there to see if I could find the spot where the plane crashed.

tuesday. home fiftytwo
so my one three five adapter arrived yesterday...
i loved my xpan...and the sixty five by twenty four format...
i loved it so much i had two xpan...
few months after i started taking photographs with my first xpan in twenty fifteen i realised that it would become so indispensable in the visual record of our daily life...i quickly acquired a second xpan as a backup...
the first xpan went down about two and half years later...
and the second went down two years after the first...
now i have two xpan with error eight eight eight eight waiting to be hand delivered to taichung where an old sifu resides...who is known to be the four eight curse fixer...
or i could send them to london where another four eight fixer lives...see how
anyway...
my first adapted xpan roll on a pentax six seven came back two months later after spending nearly seven weeks on the shelf in lockdown at home...
