The first shot from my brand new photography studio (a curved piece of textured paper by the lounge window).

An exploration of natural light, close up compositions and meditative editing.

Enjoy your Sunday, people ☀️

              Everyone on the West coast is familiar with Alders - they're the first trees that sprout new life when a forest is cleared or burned away. But what most haven't seen is an Alder grove.

              The trees pictured here are not the usual thin stick like tree's you're used too, but nearly meter diameter trees standing in a unique wetland area that's prevented the usual Large Leaf Maple and Cedar to move in over the decades.

              A dense stand of moss-encrusted alder trunks recedes into misty forest light, every surface blanketed in thick green growth in this moody Pacific Northwest old-growth scene.

                  "Those little white flowers you see here are known as the Arctic mountain heather, and they are highly toxic to this little pika.
                  Collared pika create what we call haypiles under the rocks that will serve as food for the 9 months of winter they endure beneath the snow. That’s 9 months of dead rotting plants for fungi, bacteria, and other parasites to completely destroy. That is, unless the pika layers toxic species like this arctic heather through the haypile.
                  This particular species of flower releases its toxic brew of phenolic compounds into the the pika's cache of food as it begins to break down. Those very same toxins, it turns out, are a natural food preservative that kills the very fungi and bacteria that would otherwise ruin an entire winter’s worth of food for the pika. And amazingly, by the time the pika makes it down to these layers, those toxins are completely harmless to the little mammal.
                  None of this is by accident. Researchers have documented that not only are pika meticulous at how they layer toxic plants into their haypiles, they use different species, with differing levels of toxicity, at specific levels through the cache to ensure that their food is not only well preserved but also timed to be edible for themselves as they work their way through it.
                  This is the most sophisticated pharmacological knowledge and behavior ever documented outside of humans."

                    Fairy Falls 2020

                    This is one of the first images I was proud of and still enjoy from my first years of shooting . I've returned here many times to take various different compositions over the years, but this first one still makes me happy.

                    The bright haze as light breaches the canopy above, the slight lens flare and the lens water spec I left in the frame. And of course the water tendrils of the waterfall.

                    A silky multi-tiered waterfall cascades down a mossy, rocky cliff face into a calm, dark pool below, captured with a long exposure that gives the water a smooth, ethereal quality. The falls are framed by a lush Pacific Northwest forest of towering conifers and moss-covered rocks, with soft diffused light filtering through the canopy above.

                      A vertical close up photograph of two flat blades of green grass, backlit from the right side.

The backlighting creates great contrast between the backlit parts and the shaded parts of the grass. The two blades create a V shape in the image, almost meeting in the middle of the bottom edge and then slightly leaning away from eachother toward the upper corners.

The background is a bright green blur matching the grass, with faint structure hinting of more grass surrounding the ones in focus.

                        For this one, I went to explore an unknown beach. The beauty of it was that it required a 45 min hike before the sunrise in the total darkness through the forest. Which meant no people around. Also, I saw deer footprints but no deer.

                                        It’s summer. The heat continues. Not much else to say about the weather this time of the year.

                                        At least it’s tolerable. The days climb to +/- 90F (32.2C). In other words, hot, but the nights cool considerably. Even shade makes it comfortable.

                                        Be everwell.

                                          A black-and-white cat is resting on a patch of ground, curled into a compact, relaxed loaf. Its fur is mostly black, with a white face blaze, white chest, and white front paws, giving it a classic tuxedo look. The cat’s eyes are half-open and calm, giving it a quiet, watchful expression rather than a sleepy one.
Behind the cat is a chain-link fence, softly out of focus, which suggests the scene is outdoors and gives the image a slightly enclosed, rustic feel. The ground beneath the cat looks rough and earthy, with dry leaves, dirt, and small bits of debris scattered around. In the background, muted greens and browns blur together, adding to the natural, somewhat weathered atmosphere.
The overall mood is peaceful and still. The cat appears comfortable and self-possessed, as if it has claimed this spot as its own and is simply enjoying a moment of rest.

                                                A photograph of a single, branched blade of grass, arching over, almost horizontally from left to right in the image. The multiply branched grass has clusters of small seeds at the end of each branch and both the grass and the background are entirely in shades of green


 In the background, the tip of another out of focus blade of grass is visible in the lower right corner and the rest of the background is a palette of different shades and shapes of green. From larger and darker patches in the lower half, to the top half being dominated by a multitude of smaller and brighter circular green bokeh discs.
