On another unspecified social media, I joined a photography challenge called '52 flickers'. I'm supposed to take and post one photograph per week for the entirety of 2026. No archives, no backups, no spares, no descriptions - just a photo of any topic taken on a given week.
I typically shun this kind of challenges for millions of reasons, but since I take photos almost everyday, I decided to give it a shot. But to make it more interesting for myself, I decided not to use the most frequent categories of photos, i.e. reportage or stock.

The mountain nearest to the pass has visible tunnel openings at its base above the talus fields. These are remnants of the frontline from world war I.

The snow clings delicately to each needle and branch, creating a lacy, almost magical effect.

I need to say something about why I tripled down on #photography with dedicated cameras in the past two years:

At some point I got really sick of how the iPhone rendered tree bark.

Good morning from Harlem
#Photography #GoodMorning #Sunrise #NYC

Looking through an arched window an hour after sunrise the blue sky is filled with diffuse white and yellow clouds. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones are silhouetted across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance. The window is grimy on the bottom.
