Charlotte with a whole lotta cancelled flights





we’ll see what changes as the airport starts waking up but i expect not much. it’s a little surreal and i’m not armed for zombies...

 

Dude what the hell you doing in Charlotte airport? If you need help with zombies I am only 90 minutes away

 

was passing thru to get to jfk. passing thru again later this evening after grabbing Roxy at jfk customs.

 

wow. jfk.

 

That Medium format is killer. Nice frames.

 

Well that is something that is worth taking a bullet for. Hope you both get home safely. I know all of you guys will be glad to have her home.

 

Fashioned out of bailing wire and affixed to a post along the walkway leading to Dog Beach we found this creation.
Some kind-a nice . . . ​

 

last week, denver was slowly beginning to shut down. city park, normally busy on any other warm spring day, was abnormally quiet. this man and his dog were enjoying both the quiet and the spring sunshine.



again, medium format, mamiya 645afd. fuji pro 400h shot @ 200 processed normally.

 

One of the few beaches that remain open in the San Diego area ~ Coronado and the Hotel del Coronado pictured here.
Nicely blown out this day the only folks enjoying the water were the kite surfers ~ smiling as they wrapped things up.

 

i don't think i've seen that stretch of beach so empty. the island must be so quiet. hope you are able to enjoy it. looks like you are.

 

I have never seen that before!

 

True dat! The only time it looks like that, normally, is if you're on the NAF North Island side of the fence.

 

So this is gonna sound screwed up. Cities seem much more beautiful without people in them. The calm and the quiet in @smslavin 's pictures is such a stark difference from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. Eerie yet peaceful.

 

if i thought i could get away with running around downtown with a camera right now, i would be.

 

Great pictures

 

figured everyone could use a little escapism. started digging through the travel archives.

The old ferry ticket booth.

I wish I could take credit for these pics but my other half created them last week when we walked the vacant village where we live.
This was before the beach was shut down entirely.

 

Your photos are brilliant. I've had a camera in my hand since I could go around on my own, but I never developed the eye some people have, but I love taking pictures.

Mostly anything I shoot anymore is when i hike and drag the Canon 60d around with me. I wish I had your talent.

 

all it takes is practice and a little bit of study. think of it like a muscle. normally, i would say go to the museum and study the paintings but, do it online. think about why it works for you, what doesn't work for you, where the light comes from, what the compositional elements are. take that and apply it to your photographs. the concepts are all the same. chance are pretty high that if it appeals to your eye, it will appeal to someone else's.

just remember to take your time. slow down and think about where the camera is pointing and where the light is coming from. it will all come together.

if you have questions, feel free to ask. more than willing to offer what little knowledge i have.

 

neighbors are getting lucky...

 

sharing some archive photos and old surf stories on FB. can't remember if i posted this one but wanted to share. north shore of oahu, keiki beach. bodyboarder was roughly 6' tall so you can do the rough guesstimate on wave height. the bottom, where he is about a microsecond from, was/is very shallow. maybe waist deep, probably shallower. it was a totally bonkers day. swell held through the evening and the ran they eddie at waimea the next day.

 

Packsaddle Bridge

 

been rolling through the archives lately to try and keep stuff going onto the socials for the studio. @COMiamiFan seemed to like the last two of this bunch so i thought i'd share...

 

been working on getting this organized for the past couple of months. yesterday it all came together.

some of my work is now available through a gallery here in denver.

i'm pretty excited about this as the gallery has an interesting model. all work is available for rental or purchase. if you decide to rent, the gallery picks up the pieces from me then delivers them to you and hangs it on your wall. obviously, the delivery only works if you're here in denver. the rental pieces can be swapped out on a monthly basis if you'd like to rotate the art in your home or business. it makes the art significantly more accessible which is a good thing.

the gallery can be found here: https://getthegallery.com/

easiest way to find my work is to just use the search with my name. but, do take a look at some of the other pieces. there are some very talented people on the site.

 

Spring flowers in NE Georgia

 

It's a lousy pic but the content is pretty special.​

 

So my wife’s birthday is coming up soon, she really wants an underwater camera, but I’m a total noob with this kinda stuff. I’ve read some articles and I’m currently leaning toward the Olympus TG-6, Fuji XP140, or the GoPro Hero 8. She wants to take clear underwater pics and videos, but probably doesn’t need anything rated beyond 5-10 meters. Any thoughts / recommendations?

 

happy birthday to your wife.

the gopro will do nothing but frustrate her. i would go with the olympus. pretty good review here.
