Why You Should Embrace Abstract Photography
Abstract Photography is a genre worth dabbling in, as you can learn a lot about your camera, composition and exposure from it.

Photojournalist Dave Decker was arrested in November while documenting a protest in Miami, Florida.
A coalition of 23 press organizations spoke out against the charges

The following statement can be attributed to Adam Rose, deputy director of advocacy for Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF):
“I hope law enforcement officers take this to heart: Swearing an oath to protect the community means protecting everyone — including pre…

Just a hut under a tree in the mist ...
I saw this when I was walking back from a location scouting. When I was back at the car, I turned around - already ready to drive away when I noticed this gnarly tree in the field.
The fog was just light enough to create an interesting mood I think.

A solitary tree stands resolute in a world softened by mist, its bare branches reaching upward like skeletal fingers against the muted sky. The landscape is wrapped in a quiet, ethereal haze, blurring the horizon into a seamless blend of earth and sky. Shades of gray dominate the scene—pale silver where the light struggles through the overcast clouds, deeper charcoal along the shadowed ground—creating a mood both melancholic and peaceful. The open field stretches endlessly, its surface damp an…
A quiet winter woodland unfolds in soft shades of gray and muted silver, where bare branches stretch like delicate lace against a pale, overcast sky. The forest stands in hushed stillness, its skeletal trees stripped of leaves, their intricate patterns creating a natural tapestry of lines and shadows. A gentle mist lingers between the trunks, blurring the distance and lending the scene an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality. The ground is a patchwork of frosty grass and fallen twigs, crunching …

Morning Glory
(Somewhere in southern Bavaria, whilst on a beautiful, but freezing early morning photo safari two years ago...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

Wide-format view of a group of trees (incl. some large old oaks) standing in a hilly landscape of barren, snowy fields, completely immersed in dense frozen fog which is glowing in pale orange from the rising sun. In the distance the edge of a forest is faintly visible. The snow in the foreground has a purplish tint...

These are the photos for my 2026 calendar. Got the proofs today. Should have the hard copies in 2 weeks. Always agonizing to pick 13 of my photos for the next one. The last few years I’ve had to use older ones too. I don’t get out to shoot as much anymore. I’m hoping that will improve. I’ve volunteered to be a photographer for the city park dept. I’ll take pics of people engaged in the parks and activities, and whatever else I see.

Composite of 12 photos I’ve selected for my 2026 calendar. In order the pictures are: January - a house finch in a tree February - a coyote standing looking at the photographer (me) March - sunrise over mountains April - 3 days-old goslings in weeds May - a catbird in a tree June - scenic view of mountains, clouds, rain, and sunlight July - closeup of a Mariposa Lily August - closeup of a prickly poppy September - head and shoulders of an elk cow October - a blue heron taking flight November - …

How did we exchange information before photography,
before print,
even before writing?
How was truth represented in a world of stories, myths and oral traditions?
For most of human history,
truth wasn’t a fixed point;
it was negotiated within a tribe,
verified by proximity,
and sustained by trust.
In that sense,
we may be returning to an ancient condition:
truth as local, not universal.
This isn’t necessarily the apoc…

AI photo art raises question: What comes after ‘seeing is believing’? 
In the age of AI, photographs no longer express truth. That doesn’t make them any less meaningful.

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo shows a metallic electric kettle partially hidden among a dense tangle of leafless branches and twigs. The kettle sits outdoors, possibly on a wooden surface, and reflects light off its smooth surface. In the background, a concrete or stone structure adds to the impression of abandonment or neglect. The contrast between the modern appliance and the natural overgrowth suggests themes of decay, forgotten objects, or nature reclaiming space. …
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph shows a stack of cut logs piled outdoors. The logs are arranged horizontally, with rough bark and visible rings. Above the pile, leafy branches from a tree extend into the frame from the upper left, casting soft shadows. On the right, part of a building with a balcony is visible, featuring a hanging plant. A wire runs diagonally across the image from the top right corner. The scene feels rustic and natural, suggesting a rural or semi-…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A grayscale image features the upper portions of two buildings with traditional-style rooftops. Both buildings have air conditioning units mounted on their exterior walls. A cluster of electrical wires connects to the building on the right, and several power lines run diagonally across the sky. A utility pole is visible on the right edge. The architectural style and infrastructure suggest an older urban setting, possibly in East Asia, with a mix of tradition and …
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome image captures a metal gate with wire mesh, set within a fence made of similar material. The gate is closed and slightly weathered. Behind it, dense vegetation and trees fill the background. In the distance, a faint mountain peak is visible through a hazy sky. Several utility wires stretch horizontally across the top of the image. A piece of cloth or paper is caught on the gate. The scene evokes a sense of enclosure and quiet isolation in a rural lan…
