A macro shot I took of this strange butterfly I came across while imaging insects and flowers in the mountains of the Philippines in Baguio City.
This is my commended image from the British waters macro category for the Underwater Photographer of the Year 2017 #upy2017

Going through some more old photos I took and doing some Photoshoping I didn't know back then. Back then I was using one called "Jasc Paint Shop Pro "

Once the sun starts hugging the horizon there's a street in Malacca, Malaysia, that closes to traffic and becomes a pedestrian food fair. It is called yonkers walk. This picture is along yonkers walk taken of the many different food stalls, enough to activate any salivary gland.

The natural world is filled with beautiful and intricate designs, shapes and patterns. It’s a true wonder to me that these designs are not crafted by hand, but instead by a series of complex mechanisms that occur at the cellular, and even more amazingly, the molecular level.
Increasingly I’ve been contemplating the similarities of the designs of nature compared with the designs of the architectural, constructed world - the organic and the inorganic.
Both worlds are highly structured and organised, each to suit their intended purpose.
The patterns and intricate forms of the organic world are inherently functional while beautiful: large leaves are stiffened with pleats, flowers radiate to attract pollinators. In a similar way, human structures are also created for function alongside form: our cylindrical columns support heavy structures above, our vaulted rooves keep us warm and dry.
But one world, the organic, is shaped by the interactions of the forces of nature - continually growing, gradually changing. Grown, not placed.
The other world, the inorganic, is shaped by human force for deliberate function - purposefully static and unchanging. Placed, not grown.
organic:inorganic explores the relationship between the grown and the placed, exposing similarities between worlds that seem unlike on first impression, but share many elements of design when looking closely.
Night settles differently in San Francisco, and during Lightscape, Golden Gate Park becomes a slow-moving landscape of color, shadow, and quiet spectacle. These photographs were made along the Lightscape route as illuminated botanical forms rise from the darkness, transforming familiar park paths into something immersive and otherworldly. Translucent flower sculptures glow from within, their layered petals shifting between violet, blue, and warm red, hovering against the night sky like living lanterns.
Seen together, the images trace a rhythm of scale and atmosphere: intimate close-ups that emphasize texture and light, wider views where installations interact with towering trees, and moments where visitors move through the scene as silhouettes, grounding the experience in place. The lighting is theatrical but restrained, allowing the natural contours of Golden Gate Park—its trees, lawns, and pathways—to remain present beneath the spectacle.
Lightscape has become a defining winter event in San Francisco, not as a novelty, but as a carefully staged dialogue between art and landscape. These photographs focus on that balance, capturing how light reshapes space without erasing it. What emerges is a distinctly San Francisco nightscape: contemplative, visually rich, and rooted in one of the city’s most iconic public spaces.
Smaller than the head of a knitting needle this little one grows through the moss on the side of a tree, emerging, it points upwards. Transparent.
I've been playing around with the pinch petals inspired by Lindly Huanani. These are made with pardo translucent. What doesn't show is the slightest tinge of blue that I tinted the translucent- it is veeeeeery subtle.
I now have a wonderful tutorial available on how to make your own petals! www.etsy.com/shop/iamcr8ve
