We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun.

—Neil deGrasse Tyson

From my three weeks in Namibia—

 

Soooooo I said to myself “Self let’s do a Night sky infrared” nobody told me I couldn’t.

 

I shot the first image, the image of the sand dune with the Z8 modified for full spectrum by Kolarivision with the 590nm magnetic filter. 24-120mm S Nikkor lens and the second shot of the Milky Way with a 50mm f 1.2 S Nikkor. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

This is my edit from a different perspective.

 

We brought the reflectors and stands to the beach and were setting up all our equipment and reflectors and these idiots were already laughing at us, before I even brought the dolls out. I'm not so sure why its funny that we were setting up photography equipment at a beach. Geez... people....

 

The dress is from Gina's shop. Its such a lovely lavender colour and goes well with most of my dolls.

 

Lighting Details: Used a reflector as a make-shift scrim to soften (more like deaden) the light hitting the doll's face - you can see the reflector stand's shadow :(. California Sunbounce from the water as a warm fill.

From the "2_DO" folder collection Cuba section:

  

I love going for the ride. I love honoring the giver by receiving the gift.

photography....just seeing the world at eye level and at the speed of life being taken by the moment and letting them moment of being taken be the cause of clicking the shutter. Once again I was taken by the absolute love of this moment.

  

Shot with the a prototype D5, 28-300mm AKA "Street Sweeper" lens. Raw processed in Capture NXD post processed in Photoshop CC with NiK collection software by DxO

Captured with the AMAZING Nikon Z7 (modified to shoot infrared by Lifepixel) with the FTZ adapter and the 24-120mm Nano coated Nikkor lens.

  

A 45mp 12 IMAGE INFRARED HAND HELD PANO OF THE VINALES VALLEY?!?!?!

  

What do I have a digital deathwish? I am surprised I did not pass by my birthday doing the post processing on this. 85 inches x13 inches at 360ppi 16bit. OR 36gb of PSD. Whoa

Sorry to be a bit tardy in putting up images from my trips to Portugal and Cuba. THe rains hit me hard and because of the corner cutting of the contractor who built my studio (he cheaped out on what would be 40.00 worth of expense to have done it right) I am dealing with black mold issues and fixing the drainage and ripping out a floor. But enough about the fun times hers at VV HQ.

At this point it should go without saying I have fallen in love with three places: Burma, Cuba and Portugal. So much so that my current working plan is to move to Portugal. I shot this image on the island of Madeira, on my way over the mountain to see the bent dwarf trees in the fog, that didn't happen because by the time I got there the fog had burned off. I am standing in the middle of the lane closest to the edge of the road without falling off the edge to get this shot. The upside was traffic was really light, like one car an hour so I figured I'd live to see another day.

I was just grabbed by the dance of the fog and the light. It was as if the moment of the movent cause a bubble in time where no one got old.

Art is just a series of natural gestures. For God’s sake, don’t try to be artistic-all wild animals walk the same way

—John Marin

  

From my three weeks in Namibia—

  

What I like about this images and the others that will be part of this “picture story” is the flow of gestures. I am just a witness of moments of time that would have occurred regardless of me being there or not and how all the elements of the image conspired unknowingly. I was an invisible inertial observer to the ballet of the moment.

  

I shot the second image of this picture story with the 590nm magnetic filter. 24-120mm S Nikkor lens. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

In a 10 day period I flew to SaltLake City, drove to Yellowstone, drove to Jackson Hole Wyoming, then to Moab then back to Salt Lake City then back to Moab then back to Salt lake City then flew to Los Angeles. I drove 2264 miles and spent 23 hours in a car. After that juggernaught I had a 21 hour turn around and flew to New York city for 7 days then back to Los Angeles (9 hour turn around and flew to Maine for a week.

This is an Infra red capture on the way to Jackson Hole from Yellowstone

What the human eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black and white image transforms illusions into another reality.”

I am[laying with something new in Nikon’s Studio NX, Flexible color picture control (FCPC). SO we are clear if you are a Nikon shooter and you are not processing your raw files in NX Studio you are truly doing your images a disservice. !00% of all of my images are converted from the .NEF file format to tiTiff in Nikon software since the inception of Nikon Capture. That is going all the way back to the first Nikon DSLR the D1.

  

I am working on creating FCPC settings that replicate great BW films from back in the day. This image was post processed with control points and an FCPC that I created to emulate 125iso film made by a USA film manufacturer.

  

I shot this with my new Nikon Z6III and the 50mm f 1.2 S Nikkor lens. I used a 10 stop B+W ND filter. Image raw processed in NX Studio.

We do not remember days, we remember moments.

  

— Cesare Pavese

  

From my three weeks in Namibia—

 

In the instant that I shared between the leopard seeing me and me seeing the leopard is the moment that we both saw each other and the connection between us took the image. I remember this moment with absolute clarity. I do not however remember the day in and exact sense. I just remember the blur of it to get me to the moment of clarity.

 

I have been working on an image project for the past 21 years. The “Tuning the Last Page” Project. The object is to photograph the echos of the past that are present today. My most recent trip to Namibia has started a new chapter in the project “Turning the Last Page: In the Land of Dry Water.”

 

I shot this with the Z6III NIKKOR 100-400mm Nikkor with the 1.4x extender. mage raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

Post Cards from the vacation that is my life. the "I have been some remote placeless but....... " section

  

This from my most recent trip to Myanmar. Soooo.... I shot this in Yangon just before r my journey to the outskirts of the absolute middle of nowhere. I have a series of exercises I run myself through before I enter "the hair ball" of a week long + street photography assignment. I do them to blow the rust out of the pipes so to speak. This is part of my defined area exercise. I pick four corners in a given space and then see how many usable images I can shoot in that area in a set period of time.

  

Shot with the Fabulous Z7 and the 24-120 Nano F lens with the FTZ adaptor.

It’s kinda fun to do the impossible - Walt Disney

   

This image is from most recent trip to Cuba.

  

Sorry it’s been a minute since I last posted. Things in Los Angeles have been taking my attention away from posting and post processing my images- Then I went Cuba. Then I came back 0n the 6th. Then I had to put my entire studio back together from prepping to bug out from the fires

  

That said…

  

In my work I am in the practice of practicing. Practice does not make perfect, a perfect practice makes perfect. Which is why I always am practicing at practicing. With the pursuit of attaining the Zen state of Shibumi- effortless perfection and elegance. A state of doing that is thoughtful thoughtless thought. Practice like you have never won and preform like you have never lost.

  

I was taken by this image, as is true with all my images, as I was walking to a a performance rehearsal of the next ballet to be staged by the National Cuban Ballet. I this this empty practice room the space was filled with the ballerina. Her focus was so strong I felt it as I walked by and had to step back and let her take me to where she was.

  

Every issue of an image needs to be solved at moment of capture. I realized that the image of her needed to be in a space big enough to show how she filed it. So I took a second shot that showed the the left side of the rehearsal room. I don’t believe in cropping images. I shoot 99% of my images full frame.

  

I shot this with the Z6III NIKKOR 28-400mm f/4-8 lens. 1/2000 of a second ISO 12000. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

What I love about Black & White photographs is that they’re more like reading the book than seeing the movie.

— Jennifer Price

  

From my three weeks in Namibia—

  

Light, gesture, color are the key elements of every photograph. But when do you know that an image is meant to be a a black and white image? The answer is a lot simpler than the general song and dance you hear the pixel pundits put forth. When the cold gets in the way of the gesture. Then it is time to abstract out the color from the image so the gesture remains.

  

I have included both color and BW.

  

There is no bad light. There is spectacular light and difficult light. It's up to you to use the light you have. You are responsible for every part of your image, even the parts you’re not interested in.The composition is already there, you just need to frame it.

  

Photography is an act of love. When I shoot I fall in love thousands a time in a day. I do not believe in long exposures and and long relationships.

  

Always shoot it now. It won't be the same when you go back..

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our sense to grow sharper.

- Bertrand Russell

   

This image is from my euphemistically named “2_DO_DROID” a 16tb with 182 GB left of space.

  

Sorry it’s been yet another long minute since I last posted. It has been a work filled, fun filled, stress filled project rich few weeks.

  

That said…

  

When ever I have a moment between deadlines I rummage through the the 2 do drive. It’s full of almost pictures and images that at the tie I knew there was something there I just did not possess the “something” needed at the time to get it there.

  

This image is one of those. I shot this image 10 years ago with a D750 and the 28-300mm AKA the “street sweeper” lens.

  

I found the files in a folder named “PEACOCK” all the other folders had the standard naming/numbering convention I use. There is a children’s book about a peacock who finds himself living amongst a flock of pigeons. So I figured since coincidence is the universe’s attempt at remaining anonymous I should look inside. 3:47am I diminished the file and pulled a print.

  

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

It’s been a minute since my last post. I have been working on two projects and traveling up and own the pacific northwest teaching. I am getting ready to go to Africa for 3 weeks and all the vaccinations and newly added visa requirements has pulled me away form my photography post processing.

 

I am working on a system in which I do not have to bring a laptop and be able to back all my images up. Part of that process was to free up three of my 4tb Sandisk Blade drives. Whilst doing that I found the elusive “folder of lost images.” We all have one that we can’t find but we know exists…. Out there in the ether. I was also updating all of my BW / IR actions so this was a win win/

 

This image is of a taboo frame on his way to the feels just after sunrise in the Viñales valley in Cuba. It is a breath takingly beautiful place where you have no choice but to travel at the speed of life. In the Viñales one never gets old.

I am forever chasing light. Light turns the ordinary into the magical.

– Trent Parke

   

This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba.

  

For me light is the jewel of the photograph. A very wise photographer and one of my photographic heroes, Bob Krist, said “what would you rather shoot the Taj Mahal poorly lit of a line of laundry beautifully lit?” Jay Maisel once told me in one of our many walks about NYC “treat light as if it is a solid as the subject. Trat it as if the subject is interrupting your beautiful light.”

  

Which brings us the the ballerina Kamila Capote. It is sunset, It appeared that the sun had finally given all it was going to. Kamila had be jumping, twirling and leaping for two hours. She “sat” on the malice’s stone wall an just started to stretch. I was about to call it a day when a cloud broke open and a glorious beam of light shown and all the solid objects interrupted the beautiful light. Big lesson with natural light is it isn’t over until you need to turn on your cellphone light to see where you are going. Even if you are A.S.O. (All Shot Out) if there’s light then there is the possibility of capturing magic.

  

I shot this with the 85mm f 1.2 Nikkor lens. 1/6000 of a second ISO 560. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection by DxO.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

-Edith Wharton

  

From my three weeks in Namibia—

  

Another from the “how how close did you get?” collection

  

This close. Again about 10-12 feet. This is at 140mm on the 100-400mm S Nikkor. If I got any closer… This is as the sun was setting. Hence the beautiful light. Which the subject, in this case the male lion, was interrupting

  

The system in which I came up with to not have to bring a laptop and be able to back all my images up with my ipad. Worked swimmingly. I shot on Delkin black 850 & 150gb cards. Which is the key to all of this fast read and fast downloads. I brought three 4tb Sandisk Blade drives. I used the Lexar WorkflowGo2. I was very hesitant to buy anything Lexar. I have had less than stellar luck with their cards. That said the workflowGo did the job.

  

This is one of a bazillion Lion captures I have. I have images of Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Caracals, Elephants, Hippos, Rhinos, Water Buffalo, Wildebeests, two types of Baboons, two types of Zebra, Brown Hyenas, Wild Dogs, Warthogs, Oryx, Mongoose, Read Heart beast, Springbok, Sable, Eland, Black Faced Impala, Impala, Crocodiles, Kudo, Waterbuck, Dik-Dik (so I did take Dik-Dik pics), Steenbok,Scrub Hare, Rock Hyrax, Side Winder snakes, African Ground Squirrels, Cape Penguin and so many birds I can’t even begin to name them and those are just the animals I can remember.

  

AND to answer the next question YES I will be organizing a workshop there.

  

Shot with the Nikon Z6II using the 100- 400mm S lens no 1.4 Tele converter attached. Post processed wit NX Studio and Photoshop CC Beta.and DxO’s NiK collection plug-ins.

De Haan, BELGIUM

 

I strongly (convince myself to) believe that professional photographers should take some time to play every now and then. We played around all the time when we where amateurs and that's what made us good enough to go pro anyway. So to become a better pro, I try to allow some time to play in my tight schedule.

 

A few months ago I got into a conversation between some like minded photographers and we decided to do some kind of fun shoot together. I actually didn't have the time but I went anyway. And I'm glad I did, because I came back with more energy and motivation.

 

LIGHTING INFO

Although it was pretty chilly, Fauve didn't mind to shoot for 10 minutes in the surf. The sun was still pretty high. I underexposed the scene by a stop or two to keep enough detail in the sky. This rendered our model to almost pitch black. Ake was kind enough to get in the water with us holding a California Sunbounce mini micro reflector (silver) and a flash (Vivitar 285HV) attached to it (camera left). The Vivitar was set to full power to balance with the still powerful backlight. Triggered with PW's.

Ake managed to not only keep the sunbounce steady in heavy winds without falling in the water, she also yelled every time a big wave came in (still got pretty wet though).

This image is from most recent trip to Cuba.

 

Sorry it’s been a minute since I last posted. Things in Los Angeles have been taking my attention away from posting and post processing my images- Then I went Cuba. Then I came back 0n the 6th. Then I had to put my entire studio back together from prepping to bug out from the fires

 

That said…

 

CATS!!!!!!! I LOVE CATS!!!!!!!! OK correction to the last post- I could make a career of photographing skies, sunsets and CATS!!!! And to get a cat basking in good light….. I treat light when I conceptualize an image as if it is as solid of an object as the subject that is interrupting my beautiful light. What more is there to the life of a photographer? Life is too short to shoot in bad light and to DRINK bad coffee and cheap wine.

 

I shot this with the Z6III NIKKOR 28-400mm f/4-8 lens. 1/500 of a second ISO 220. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

From my three weeks in Namibia—

 

Did I take this picture of the Baboon or did the Baboon take me? When did the decisive moment happen? Am I at the beginning, middle or end of it?

 

I have been working on an image project for the past 21 years. The “Tuning the Last Page” Project. The object is to photograph the echos of the past that are present today. My most recent trip to Namibia has started a new chapter in the project “Turning the Last Page: In the Land of Dry Water.”

I forgot that I had actually shot this. This was not the actual image of the cable car shot I had “pre visualized” I shot this as an afterthought and did not realize I actually had the Porto cable car in fog image, not the heavenly fog swirling around the Calle car I had envisioned but rather the flying elephant one that showed up.

  

I’ll take it.

When I was a kid my father would tell me stories about being akid growing up in New York City. So everytime I go to NYC I always make it a point to find the echo of his memories still living in the city.

  

This is an image of the News Building that I shot through the glass on my one and only day. off (so far) from the Feature film shoot I am the Stills/Set photographer for, Pinball.

  

I shot this whilst spending the day with Jimmy AtoZ (my new associate photographer in my classes) and Aymen Siam, who I mentor as part of the NYSalt program. Jimmy is a NYC native and well took me to some of the echo of New York places I only occasionally stumble upon. I call this the "dailey Planet" 'cuz everyone knows Gotham City is Ian NewellYork City...Sheeesh

  

This image was capture using Kolari Vision's new in batonet mount filter system for IR. This is the 720mn filter. I have to say I am more than impressed

From my three weeks in Namibia—

 

I have a job that is more fun than fun. We pulled off to a village in the middle of the day because it was to hot to be out in a boat in the middle of the day and the animals were doing the smart thing, tapping in the shat in jungle. The village’s name translates to

The place of good teeth” I wrote that down because I could not figure out how to to spell the actual name. As I was bubbling around photographing a chicken clucking about with the chicken having nothing to about me try to photographer. As I looked up I saw this young girl and she saw me. It is the moment wy we both connected at that the pict her took itself. again back the discussion of the last post, for me the best photographs are the ones that feel as if we are in the space between a moment. Traveling to next but not there yet. Leaving the moment we were in yet not completely gone from it.

I am back in my studio for those precious few moments where I endeavor to put organization the chaos of capturing the moments of spontaneity that is my life’s work. That’s a fancy way to say house cleaning the deferred maintenance of VV HQ. Cam across this image whilst sorting the the server update and printing the work prints for a show in Cuba. I have a new printer and well it Is the right machine for the job.

  

I shor this image from a place that is damn nigh impossible to get to. The opening that allows this view only has a shoulder on the side of the road wide enough for a motorcycle tire. This is on click and see ya before I become a statistic and a organ donor.

  

I shot this with a D800 modified to shout IR.

From my three weeks in Namibia—

 

I am by practice a wonderer. I am enamored not just having one disciple of artistic pursuit. I wand to be adept at as many of them as my time on this mortal coil allows me.

 

Astral or “night sky” photography has always been something I try to think of anything else to do before that. In North America there are too many obstacles, light pollution, traveling to really really isolated places and having to get up a 3am stabling around in the dark.

 

Then there is trying to get light (light painting) on the terrestrial part of the image.

 

All of those issues went away in Namibia. This image is two exposures. One of the sand dune at sunset and one right after the sun has set.

 

I have been working on an image project for the past 21 years. The “Tuning the Last Page” Project. The object is to photograph the echos of the past that are present today. My most recent trip to Namibia has started a new chapter in the project “Turning the Last Page: In the Land of Dry Water.”

 

I shot this with the Z6III 50mm S Nikkor f1.2. The dune at 1/5000 of a second at f1.8 ISO 200 and the star field at 10sec at f1.8 ISO 5000. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

More from “Making up for lost time. A lot of what I have shot since March I cannot show for a bit.” collection

 

When have a camera in my hand, viewfinder up to my eye, I get lost in the flow in the moment. When I come back and look at what was the taken moment. I get to get lost again.

 

Cannot say the enough- A still photograph is called a still photograph because the picture does not move. Not because the subject of the picture is not in motion.

 

I shot this with the Nikon Z8 and the 85mm f1.2 Nikkor S. Raw file processed in NX Studio NiK collection Silver Efex Pro v7 in Photoshop beta.

I have been chomping at the bit to be able to talk about one of the new features in the Z8 3.0 firmware update. Specifically the ability to do a pixel shift / focus shift series of captures. Wow…… the color fidelity, and incredible detail is mind boggling but having your cake and eat it too with being able to mix wide ope with critical aperture for the sharpest and creamiest Bokeh again Wow…..

That said…

For this last trip I gave myself the self assignment limitation of only used one lens and one camera no IR. The lens was the 28-400 and the camera was the Z6III.

  

This image has been plaguing me since I saw this street. I have looked at the street for 15 years drove by it, walked by it looked at it, never saw it. Then BOOM. Soooo… I asked my favorite Ballerina Kamila Quinones to dance for me. It is always a joy to see her get lost in the dance.

 

I shot this with the Z6III NIKKOR 28-400mm f/4-8 lens. 3D tracking 1/500 of a second ISO 500. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection. YES it is a composite, YES I used photoshop YES it is eight shots YES it happened in about 30 minutes. The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.

Please be advised that due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity,

"We live forward, but understand life backwards"

-Soren Kierkegaard

I have tried for 15 years to get this shot. It seems like a simple shot. But I wanted it to be organic, not set up, the right light, the right amount of real wear blah, blah blah....

So I got the shot. I have mentioned how bittersweet this trip was. Over the 15 years I have gotten to know members of the Cuban Olypic boxing team. They are of the group of people I look forwad to seeing and hanging with in Cuba. But the Pandemic had other plans for them. They all left Havana to go back to the towns they came from to be and help with family. It''s not that they chose to lay down their boxing gloves perse, they had to put them aside for a while.

(from my last trip to Cuba with Palm Beach Photographic Centre's Cuba workshop)

There is a powerful advantage to a camera that can focus at the speed of life and that is more silent than a breath held expectant. You can truly create a place when the spirt of the subject can hide in your camera

There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering.

Shot with the AMAZING Z9. The Z9 is more camera than I am photographer.

For those of us who believe in physics, the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion

– Albert Einstein

  

This image is from a trip to Cuba I took in December of 2016.

  

I am working on images for my solo show of my images of Cuba that will happen sometime end of this year beginning of next at the Museo National Bellas Artes in Havana Cuba (the National Museum of Fine Art) I have been going through all of the 500,000 give or take frames I have shot so far.

  

The concept behind this project is to photograph the echos of the past that are still present today. What makes Cuba unique, almost wholly unique, is the it is caught in a bubble of 1962. I have several ongoing projects to capture the echo of Myanmar, India, Paris and New York City. Of all of these projects Cuba and Myanmar are the most complete.

  

Light, gesture and color are the three key elements of any image, with gesture being the most important consideration. In addition to these three ememnts there is a fourth concept- time, specifically timelessness. A successful image is one where gesture is served but the “when” is not definable.

  

I shot this with the D500 NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. 20 plus year project is 1/400 of a second ISO 100. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

From My latest trip to Cuba

  

Every artist has an instrument. From the self-evident interments that musicians play, to painters who instrument is canvas, paint and brush and dancers who's instrument is their body.

  

All creativity comes from the same place. We just choose the metaphor and instrument we choose to express our momentary lapses from reason to express the moments we feel in a way other can experience the way we did.

  

The instrument a photographer has in the camera, the lens is its brush and the file created by the sensor is the canvas.

  

This a moment that took me photographing the dancer Maripaz Laguna being taken by the dance.

From my three weeks in Namibia—

 

The overarching experience of my time in The Land of Dry Water is the sensation of being seen through while being seen. There was a sense of peacefully, perfect balance that could turn into something just the opposite in an instant. But most of the time calmness.

 

I have been working on an image project for the past 21 years. The “Tuning the Last Page” Project. The object is to photograph the echos of the past that are present today. My most recent trip to Namibia has started a new chapter in the project “Turning the Last Page: In the Land of Dry Water.”

The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light.

— Ram Dass

 

This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba.

 

Shadow is as important to an image as light. Because no mater how you slice it, (and yes I have said and will say this repeatedly) Light is the jewel of the photograph. What would you rather look at- the Taj Mahal poorly lit or a wall of a building on a street with peeling paint and a rusty chair beautifully lit?

 

Light should always be treated as if it is as solid as the subject of the photograph is. The subject should always be approached as if it is interrupting the beautiful light. Light should never be just an after thought. It is really the only thought.

 

I shot this with the 24-200 Nikkor lens f4-6.3. 1/250 of a second ISO 200. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection by DxO.
