Almost accidentally stumbled upon this area while walking towards the University city part of Philadelphia which I thought would provide decent photo opportunities. The water was calm and the lights were just magical.
Was looking for a place to have lunch when I stumbled upon this wonderful aged building with reflective windows. Had a trying time taking this shot as I had to wait for the precise moment when there are no vehicles on the road! And boy, Surabaya do have a whole lot of motorbikes and cars. Talk about the perfect timing...

Another day, another kairos overflowing with self-expression, self-reflection and possibly a touch of self-absorption.
So here's a question to you photographers: Do we add a piece of ourselves to every portrait we make? or does every subject add a little something to us? Discuss.

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

I need to remember everything. The comfort felt while sitting on the window ledge, staring out at the city beyond, seeing the traffic and people living down there, knowing that whatever happens, no matter what we have lost, life continues beyond us, beyond the glass.
Perspective.

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.
Patas Monkey at the Primate Discovery Center. San Francisco Zoo, June 2017. Shot with Fujifilm XPro2 with 50-230mm f4.5-6.7 lens in Acros.
Taken in my favourite Toronto green space where they recently put up a mirrored pole to allow people to see their reflection in a landscape.

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!!
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason, as all rights are reserved. Thanks!

"Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I'm yours forever." -Anonymous. I guess no one wanted to take credit for the quote, lol. I can hear it now, 'Yeah, I said it, but please don't quote me on that'. But, but, but, you said it!! 'Yeah, but no one has to know I'm the one that said it.' All righty then...... :))

“Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.” – Stephen R. Covey
Finding a large enough stick always seems to help get one’s life balanced, and if not it can make a big splash.

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.
