First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.
The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye too...like an Angel spreading Its Wings...inviting a path to salvation...to be lifted from the rabble.

Simmering outside the original Nevada Northern depot at East Ey, Nevada Northern 81 has just arrived with a train of mail and goods from up the line.
Last weekend, I had the privilege to attend the Nevada Northern Railway’s Winter Steam Spectacular photo shoot. With the insightful realization that the railroad will not survive without capturing the youth interest, the railroad offers a youth scholarship every year to allow young photographers the opportunity to attend the event free of charge. This year, I was honored to be named one of the recipients of the scholarship, and granted admission to the full weekend event. This allowed me to attend an event I would have been otherwise priced out of, and was my first real experience with a railroad photo charter. The weekend was an absolute blast, and I now have a stockpile of great images that I’ll be sharing in coming posts. The originality of the railroad is unlike anything else you can find in the modern day, and the images I captured truly show how timelessly preserved this railroad is.
I can’t begin to thank those involved enough for this fantastic opportunity. I owe Steve Crise, Mark Basset and others a heartfelt thank you for everything they did to accommodate me over the weekend, not to mention the friendliness and hospitality of the entire staff. If you’re a photographer between the ages of 18-30, I implore you to apply for the railroads Steam, Steel and Strobes scholarship. Should you get the chance to attend this event, you surely won’t regret it. Thank you all!
Marimurtra, Blanes, La Selva, Girona, España.
Situado en Blanes, en la Costa Brava, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra es uno de los jardines más bellos de la orilla del Mediterráneo. Sobre unos acantilados que bordean el mar se pueden contemplar algunas de las panorámicas más espectaculares de la costa y conocer más de quatro mil especies vegetales, la mayoría exóticas, así como un buen número de ejemplares extraordinarios por su edad o dimensiones.
Marimurtra es la obra de un hombre apasionado por la naturaleza. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Alemania 1874-Blanes 1952), empresario establecido en Cataluña, dedicó su ilusión, su esfuerzo y todo su patrimonio a la realización de su sueño, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra.
Located in Blanes, on the Costa Brava, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens on the Mediterranean shore. On some cliffs that border the sea, you can see some of the most spectacular views of the coast and get to know more than four thousand plant species, most of them exotic, as well as a good number of extraordinary specimens due to their age or size.
Marimurtra is the work of a man passionate about nature. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Germany 1874-Blanes 1952), businessman established in Catalonia, dedicated his illusion, his efforts and all his assets to the realization of his dream, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden.
It matters not where I go while moving about in nature. I do not need to take costly trips to far away locations. It would be cool to see Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and so many other great national parks, but the thought of big summer crowds always keeps me away.
For me, there is still so much to see in the Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker and the North Cascades, that I truly feel as if my roots will remain home. The next 25 plus years will be here and I like it that way.
I am at peace in any forest setting with moving water near by. The Gray Wolf River above gave me a chance to sit and marvel at how lucky I am to live here in Washington state.
Hello my friends,
I hope this image finds you well. I have taken a long absence from social media and photography. It has been necessary for my growth, my faith, my family... So many changes have happened over the course of a year it's hard to think of writing them all down. Perhaps the biggest and hardest change was the sudden and absolutely unexpected loss of my younger sister in May. Providence was 27 years young and left behind a devastated husband and two babies who are still asking where their Mama went. If you've been my friend for awhile you know that I lost another sister to leukemia in 2010 at the young age of 20. It wasn't any easier this time around... but I suppose it never is. I was extremely close to both of them and it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that they are both gone so young and yet I am here...
Photography has always been something I've found comfort in. A way to express what words or tears fall short in. But in the wake of so much change in circumstances, grief, I took a complete leave from my business and my creative ventures. It was a necessary part of survival to me. I've learned a lot this year. I realized that today is really all we have. Tomorrow is never promised. That realization made me take my life more serious, to treasure the people and the moments that are in front of me right now. I have spent the last several months pouring into my family, my faith and into my real life. My time and who I spend it with is precious. And I took that for granted for too long. :(
I'm sorry for such a serious message. My photography these days has picked up again although mostly for my own enjoyment. I've totally shut down my business for now and that seems to be what's best at present at least. My shooting has been of my children, people I care about, places that bring me joy... I have printed more of my work for myself, books to look at, pictures on the wall, even blankets. Slowly but surely my creativity is gaining pace again, I'm sure of it.:)
On another note, this my sweet Liat. She is walking, no running - these days. She is my precious muse and I never tire of photographing her adventures.
I've missed you all. I know that I am not the only one who has been affected by change, loss, grief in the last year or so. I pray my dearest friends here are safe and I appreciate you being here and taking the time to read my sporadic messages.
I love you friends.

sonder - (n). the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.
You smiled at me
and suddenly
I realized;
until he found
his flower,
the honeybee
did not even begin
to realize
he was a honeybee
at all.

This is the realization of a trip I have been wanting to do for a long time...
A trio of Deseret Power Railway E60Cs departs the Deserado Mine loadout near Dinosaur, CO with the morning loads for the Bonanza Power Plant near Bonanza, UT. The train will take about an hour to cover the 35 miles between the two points on a line with no rail connections.
I suppose the employee in the truck was wondering what I was up to, but when he saw me scrambling to pack up to get to the next location, he smiled and said "better hurry."

El puente Nuevo es el monumento más emblemático de la ciudad malagueña de Ronda y fue construido entre 1759 y 1793. Une las zonas histórica y moderna de la ciudad salvando el Tajo de Ronda, una garganta de más de 100 metros de profundidad excavada por el río Guadalevín.
De sillería de piedra, el puente presenta un arco central de medio punto apoyado en otro más pequeño por el que transcurre el río. En la parte superior, se encuentran las dependencias del puente que, en otros tiempos, fueron utilizadas como prisión, a cuyos lados se abren otros dos arcos, también de medio punto, que sostienen la estructura que soporta la calle.
Su construcción comenzó en 1759 para sustituir al anterior puente que se había derrumbado en 1740. En su realización intervinieron diversos maestros, aunque el más destacado fue José Martín de Aldehuela, que finalizó la obra.
Se considera una obra maestra de ingeniería. Mide 98 de altura y 70 m de longitud.
Pese a sus dimensiones, el puente parece un elemento natural de la roca. El color se diluye con el de las paredes del acantilado. El material utilizado se extrajo del fondo de la garganta del río. Así se consiguió un efecto mímesis.

The New Bridge is the most emblematic monument of the Malaga city of Ronda and was built between 1759 and 1793. It links the historic and modern areas of the city, saving the Tajo de Ronda, a gorge of more than 100 meters deep excavated by the river Guadalevín.
From stone ashlar, the bridge has a central half-point arch supported by a smaller one through which the river flows. In the upper part, there are the dependences of the bridge that, in other times, were used as prison, to the sides of which open two arches, also of half point, that support the structure that supports the street.
Its construction began in 1759 to replace the previous bridge that had collapsed in 1740. In its realization they intervened diverse masters, although the most outstanding one was Jose Martín de Aldehuela, that finalized the work.
It is considered an engineering masterpiece. It is 98 meters high and 70 m long. In spite of its dimensions, the bridge seems a natural element of the rock. The color is diluted with that of the cliff walls. The material used was extracted from the bottom of the river gorge. Thus a mimesis effect was achieved.

It is an overwhelming adventure, a time of wonder with light and thunder, to experience a monsoon thunderstorm wave rolling across the Grand Canyon at sunset. Surrounded by storm cells with heavy rain and far too close lightning strikes of a highly active thunderstorm behind, the multiple echoes of the rolling thunders were deeply impressive. The panoramic view at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon near Cape Royal extends from Vishnu Canyon past Wotan's thrones into the sunset in Clear Canyon. The eponymous streams of these canyons cascade their muddy-brown rainfall torrents towards the Colorado River.
Such moments of great sublimity revive deeply rooted connections to our home planet. These impressions awaken our instincts and with them the irreversible realization how unique our planet is and how closely we are connected to it.

"I think you can understand the challenge of what Robert Bresson termed "necessary images," especially as it relates to the reduction of the mystery of faith from the broadest of its dimensions to a human 2D image. I have been wrestling with how to move beyond the confines of the iconic and traditional to explore faith and mystery in visual terms that make it intriguing, appealing, and approachable. I suppose it will always be a journey and never a destination"

Photographed in the Self-Realization Meditation Garden. It is a cliff top garden high above the Pacific Ocean 🌊 in Encinitas California - Cardiff By The Sea
a realization that there really isn't much difference between a hide or a skin, except for a splash of color.
captured in palma de mallorca, this photo depicts the silhouette of a man deep in thought, with the shadow of a street lamp cast above him. in german, there is a saying "ein licht geht auf," which means "a light goes on" when someone finds a solution or understands something. the interplay of light and shadow in this image beautifully symbolizes the moment of realization and clarity.
"all my life i had been looking for something, and everywhere i turned someone tried to tell me what it was. i accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. i was naïve. i was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which i, and only i, could answer. it took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that i am nobody but myself."

if you believe in me i will love you endlessly
the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
the heart-shaped nucleus in the white blood cell shows that it is a young monocyte cell.

I just spent a few hours working on uploading 2 photos to my website to have the electricity fail on me, so lost everything and have to go back to square one!!! So I will upload one at a time in the hope that this does not happen again!

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

I'm too sick to go out and shoot today, but here's a photo from when I was in LA - this is the Self Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine, in the hills of the Palisades. Shot with Sony a6000 and 55-210mm lens.
