During an hour jewelry shoot, I took a break, and found her resting on this fern. I don't think she was doing too well. Went to check on her after the shoot but she was gone for better or worse. She's certainly really pretty thou, better than the jewelry for sure

After almost a week of vicious fighting through the icy ruins, the clanker command decided to pull out its remaining forces and surrender the port.
As soon as the droid forces retreated into their base in the cave systems to the north we all finally had some time to rest up and regroup. Everyone except for the ARF elements that is.
While the rest of the 253rd legion got to resupply and rest within the city ruins, my recon group was sent back out into the frigid cold to look for any pockets of remaining droids.
Bolt and I got sent to the eastern outskirts of the city. This sector of the city had been evacuated by the droids first and hadn't seen activity in two days. We didn't expect to find much.
[CL-8675]Jockey: See anything from up there?
[CT-2255]Bolt: Nothin but ice. Just a giant flat plain of ice. Ice over there. Ice over here. Ice on the ground. Ice on my armour. Ice...
Jockey: Ok. Shut up. I get it, there's lots of ice. Any activity on that ice?
Bolt: Looks like a storm is picking up several clicks to the east. That's it.
Jockey: Ill inform command about that.
Jockey on comm: Come in command this is CL-8675 reporting from recon patrol 14. Over.
Command: We read you CL-8675. What's your patrol's status?
Jockey: We've completed our sweep of the sector. Not detecting any functional droids nor any forms of life in the vicinity. Sector secure. However, we are picking up a storm about 11 clicks east-northeast of our position. Over.
Command: Well take a look at that. Your patrol is free to return to base. Over.
Jockey: Alright Bolt, let's get out of here.
Bolt: Don't have to tell me twice. The damn quartermaster division couldn't even equip us with the right gear. The ice crystals are starting to build up on my visor.
Jockey: Bolt, I swear if you say ice one more time I'm going to ship you back to Kamino on janitorial duties.
Bolt: Loud and clear lieutenant. Loud and clear.

For the 253 legion thing. I've always liked Rhen Var. S/O to all them Battlefront 1 players!!!
Walking down the street, I saw this woman as she walked into the shade of a tree to take a break from the hot sun. Right next to it, in full sun, there was a stand of the historical reconstruction group of which he is a member (hence the forage cap, uniform and armband - referring to historical events from WWII).
Taken with a Nikon F90x camera and Nikkor AF D 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 lens on ILFORD XP2 super 400 negative film. Most of the photos were taken on a black and white analogue walk with Ilford.
im pretty sure that instead of getting better at bringing my ideas to life, im getting worse... its hard to tell, because my ideas themselves, i think, are getting a lot better and a lot more detailed... however i find myself over the past few months feeling scared to shoot my personal work, and really doubting that i can create anything, which is the absolute last thing i want to feel. i havent hardly been shooting personally at all (since march ive only made 3 photos that havent in some way been commissioned), and ive realized its REALLY taking its toll on me - photographically, but also emotionally. creating imagery through my camera is my rock in life and ive been smacked in the face and really reminded of the girl i was before i had that rock, and that girl is the last person i want to be again.
ive decided its time to rest my wings and focus on the important things again. i feel like i go through this same conversation in my head about once every three months, but i never actually do anything about it and each time the feelings get worse. life lessons can be a pain in the butt, but ive finally made a pact with myself to stop booking new paid work after september so i have time to actually try to be the photographer i want to be.
oh yea, also my pro account expired, so apologies for my old stuff disappearing. ill probably scrap together some change and renew soon.
power line stock. ahhh i wish i could have used this better...
- on an added note, i want to say thanks to everyone for all the super nice and encouraging comments, but also wanted to let everyone know that by no means am i stopping or falling any bit out of love with photography! its just a matter of practice, and ever since i began photography ive never spent this little time on my own work! so i feel like that lack of time is holding me back from growing at the same rate and obviously is resulting in less work which i dont like! and i actually think this piece is successful, otherwise i wouldnt have uploaded it... i think its just farther away from what i intended than my earlier stuff, which is a setback! :P -

It's 3 AM on October 9th, 2023 and one of the last YN2 GP40-2s on the CSX roster rests quietly with CSX GP38-2 2792 in Cartersville, GA. Some sodium street lights on the road adjacent to the tracks help illuminate the power and set the scene.
Despite the power resting, it wasn’t all quiet this morning as a southbound coal train off of the Etowah Subdivision passed by a few minutes prior to taking this photo. After the short photo session, it was time to get back onto I-75 to finish our drive back to Orlando.

The door was ajar as it usually is during business hours and for a curious photographer that walks by regularly, the entrance to the local mausoleum was almost an invitation. The view here appears to be a smaller ante room compared to the other two larger rooms. It was pretty dark in there so I put my camera on the floor to steady it for a longer exposure and stood back. A black and white conversion seemed to suit the atmosphere better. I liked the textures in the wall and details in the door as well as the stained glass windows.
All I wanted was to make you laugh or smile but it is becoming painfully clear that my dream will never come true. So today I have chosen the easy way out, to spare the rest of you from the fear and nightmares that I obviously cause......sleep well knowing that this clown is not in pain anymore.

I came across this bee hanging out on a butterfly bush. It wasn't moving very much and probably resting. After I came in it changed to a different blossom.

This little Pied-billed Grebe was relaxing in a pond near Tucson, AZ. From the Cornell Lab:
"Part bird, part submarine, the Pied-billed Grebe is common across much of North America. These small brown birds have unusually thick bills that turn silver and black in summer. These expert divers inhabit sluggish rivers, freshwater marshes, lakes, and estuaries. They use their chunky bills to kill and eat large crustaceans along with a great variety of fish, amphibians, insects, and other invertebrates. Rarely seen in flight and often hidden amid vegetation, Pied-billed Grebes announce their presence with loud, far-reaching calls."
