These past five days have involved a painstaking amount of self-reflection. Being accountable for my actions is hard and taxing.

A number of my smokreation ideas have come surprisingly easily; this was not one of them. I struggled with this one for several days and it is nothing like what I had first envisioned. The idea of smoke spheres came to me when I saw the work of Scott Harris, a flickr contributor, whose work I can no longer seem to find here. In any case, he shot smoke through glass globes. I had no success with that, so I gigured I would give photoshop a try. A few youtube tutorials later and I had my first smoke globe (some basic instructions can be found in one of my Smoke & Mirrors tutorials).
I have always found the sphere an appealing shape, so I have incorporated smoke spheres into a number of my works (more than I realized when I assembled them together below).
As I'm coming up on a year of doing smoke photography, I feel like I'm hitting my stride with this. I was worried that I might run out of new ideas, but the smoke keeps giving me new stuff.
Thanks to all of you who have visiited, commented, faved, and invited my works. It really helps knowing that I'm not doing this just for myself anymore.

This is the last image I'm posting tonight (I can hear you all breathing a sigh of relief), and was made with the digital (obviously) in Belle Isle Castle, Ireland.

So a lot of people have been asking for some D700 shots, so here's one AND a self portrait all in one! I took this one at my parents' house in the front door on the morning of my wedding since I wasn't allowed at my house since all the girls were there!
Of course I had to do an HDR! This one is three exposures handheld with the 16-35 f4.0 lens.
Thank you for all of the support my friends!!

This Vervet Monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) was quite young when this photo was taken. His mother had been attempting to persuade him to begin doing his own thing just before. It looked like a fairly tough negotiation and his mum didn't seem to make any concessions at all.
Shortly after, when I shot this, he was sitting alone and began to inspect his hands. He didn't sit like this for very long, perhaps ten seconds or so, and shortly afterwards, attempted to reopen negotiations with his mother.

Sometimes its important to just take a moment to reflect on what we want in life. Life isn't a game where we play with it or its characters eternally. At some point we must know what we want. The mind may play a game of hide and seek. But the heart, knows where it wants to be.
So Listen to your heart when you are mind is silent. The heart does speak words of wisdom in these silent moments.
Let love lead life. Let Life lead Love.

Amsterdam Light Festival
Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual light art festival in Amsterdam. Artists, architects and (light) designers from all over the world bring their light artworks and installations alive during the festival every winter.
Edition #12 is from 30 November 2023 till 21 January 2024. More than twenty light artworks will illuminate the iconic canals of Amsterdam. For Amsterdam Light Festival 2023-2024 we have asked artists to consider the effects of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) on our everyday lives. The ways in which we communicate, engage and create are all impacted by technology and AI. What is the impact on the human condition? How does society change because of this digital evolution? And where are the boundaries? The different perspectives will be highlighted during Edition 12, with the theme: LOADING… Revealing Art, AI and Tech.
The route consists of more than twenty light artworks by the hand of international artists. From renowned names to surprising newcomers and everything in between. We dive deeper into our relationship with personal tech, the mobile phone being at the forefront – we cannot live without it, but sometimes you wish you could throw it in the canal. Subjects such as swarm intelligence, self learning algorithms, facial recognition and motion capture are also explored. What will be next? That is still loading…
