Swimming in the clouds

my brain thinks in diptychs. The moment I saw this man walking through the perfect slice of light in Morocco—his hands crossed just so I knew. This was a diptych. I'm pretty sure he heard me behind him, getting a little too close to photograph his hands. A whole story in the way these fingers rest

When the world feels heavy, it’s important to keep creating. The balance of having hope and not glossing over the genuine suffering is pretty tricky. Here are some freelensed images from the archive.

Yeah, I’m with you. I’m just curious. Are there a lot of photographers doing this here? I don’t see a ton, but that doesn’t mean they’re not here. How do I find them?

I’ve never been a big Twitter user. How do we feel about using this as a photo sharing app?

I guess we just gotta show up here regularly. And I’m not sure that this app is the one for photo sharing.

Yeah, it doesn’t feel like that to me yet. It feels like Twitter and I don’t think photos do very well here but I hear blue sky is building a photo sharing app at the moment which sounds interesting.

Interesting. I’ve never been a Twitter user so I’m not sure this place is for me, but I hear that blue sky is building an app that’s supposed to be a photo sharing app?

I would sure love to build a community here. Where can I find other photographers who actively share here?

You too @megkoningphoto.bsky.social

Beautiful

Moroccan Magic. I cannot describe how much I loved this place.

Birds. Water.

I have a thing for birds…

Number one tip for photographers…take photos as often as you can. Keep going. I learned more about who I am as a photographer from picking up my camera almost daily for 5 years than anything else.

Kinda cool to hear what I said up on stage at the Adobe Create Now event.

That time in Cuba when I approached this woman to get in the water with me. We spoke different languages and yet were able to communicate non verbally making this magic together
