"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."
~Lao Tzu
Maybe be worth it to hit "L"?
This weekend I went on a phtoowalk with fellow Pittsburgh photographer Brad Truxell and we got some great winter shots around Pittsburgh. We made a stop at PPG Place where the Christmas tree was up and the skaters were out, after I got the obligatory tree shot I thought I'd give a self portrait a try! I haven't posted a self portrait in months, so it was about time!
On a side note, any suggestions on a new tripod for Christmas?
I hope that you all had a great weekend and a great week ahead!

A day out down to Tyntesfield (National Trust) with 'Jeffda2' to get some further images / portraits of the most excellent 'Ragged Victorians' !
Well, again... Those of you who are following my work will have realized instantly that this is another photo from my Rosolina archive. It was the first and only time I have been at Rosolina Mare (Rosolina by the Sea; see my What a meaningful world... for information about that peculiar location), but I have been lucky enough to have two wonderful sunrise sessions there. And apparently my archive from this location has some more suprises in store, somehow (sadly) compensating for the very small trickle of new shots.
I was exploring the wild dunes strecthing southward towards Caleri Point . This was sort of a discovery for me - a whole new world I had previously seen only through the work of several of my Flickr friends, mainly from Northern Europe.
It has been an exciting experience... The place could have been two light-years far from the nearest touristic beach - yet it was just a stroll! The sun was wrestling his way between the clouds. The world was bathed in a soft, golden light and the grasses and wild flowers were full of glittering raindrops left by a thunderstorm the evening before. As I was contemplating (and capturing) the beauty of the place, I could almost feel the goddess Eos* rising from the sea and her bare foot on the wet sand as she was dancing through the wild flowers - mainly Sea Rocket and Beach Morning Glory.
* Just for the sake of letting some of our Canonians down ;-)... Eos has nothing to do with Canon, of course: she was the Greek goddess of the dawn (Aurora for the Romans), sister of Helios ( = Apollo, the Roman god of the Sun) and Selene ( = Luna, the Roman goddess of the Moon).
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/0/+1.3 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

I took this image back in mid-September while spending five days touring around the beautiful coastline of East Lothian in Scotland. On this particular morning, I was driving towards the car park in the woodland area to park up and shoot down on the beach when I spotted this scene to my left. I just had to pull over and photograph the slowly rising sun that cast a gentle, golden light on the side of Tantallon Castle.
For those of you who have never heard of this castle, here's the usual Wikipedia blurb.
Tantallon Castle is a semi-ruined mid-14th-century fortress, located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of North Berwick, in East Lothian, Scotland. It sits atop a promontory opposite the Bass Rock, looking out onto the Firth of Forth. The last medieval curtain wall castle to be constructed in Scotland,[1] Tantallon comprises a single wall blocking off the headland, with the other three sides naturally protected by sea cliffs.
I hope you enjoy seeing what I saw.

Interestingness | | 2010 | | Boston/Gloucester/Rockport Photowalk
My wife and I decided to get away for Labor Day Weekend. We started out the weekend in Rockport then headed down to Gloucester for the Schooner Festival and our final destination was Boston for the evening. The next morning we decided to walk around South Boston to get some photos of Boston before heading home to rest before the new work week.
Check out some of my wifes (padiddles) photos:
This photo was processed using Nik Silver Efex and finished in Lightroom.
Do you ever feel sometimes in lfe you have all these big ideas but never get the time or the energy to make them a reality? That's what I think of when I view this image I shot in Iceland - like walking down this little road and never getting to the big idea at the end. When you do, if you do, it's too big to climb.
But fuck it - climb it anyway!
Technical Details:
Nikon D810 | 24-70mm f/2.8 @ f/11 48mm 1/20 ISO 64 | 3 shot panoramic.

What's a little more grunge to the grungy? I was on a restaurant's upper deck looking down on this "short bus". The walls were grungy and so was the vehicle. I just added a bit more. The annual Invasion Car Show is going to be September 3rd this year in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas. I hope that it won't be too hot. We have had a very hot and dry summer.
A reedit and repost of an earlier photo. This time, I initially darkened the sky using Aperture and then used Viviza to darken it a bit more. I skipped Color Efex and the detail extractor, letting HDR Efex and the definition tool in Aperture bring out any details.
A nice wide angle of an iconic Spokane cityscape. I'm really pleased with the results of the new Tamron 15-30 2.8 lens. This is taken from the Post St Bridge looking west-south-west toward the Monroe St Bridge.
I found this church accidentally, while walking for a conference near Moscone center SF. I have seen so many shots of church interiors but never had a chance to till now. Church interior architecture has a lot of texture and character. I choose to take 3 shots and process it HDR and then BW in Nik HDR.
