Brilliant. β₯οΈ
Pas de Deux (2017) Two butterflies share a single flower, sitting in perfect symmetry, as if engaged in a dance.
Three Yellow Flowers (2018) Three yellow flowers on the same stem at different stages of bloom, seeming to tell a story of growth and development.
Ominous Cloud (2019) An ominous-looking ground fog dwarfs a hill along highway 18 on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
Arc of Dreams (2021) A wide angle view of the imposing sculpture of the same name by artist Dale Lamphere, erected in downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
These are the images I submitted to the 2025 NTD 5th International Photography Competition, Category B: Nature and Landscape. Titles and descriptions in alt text.

Pop Goes the Dream (2025) A carnival worker at the South Dakota State Fair poses for a picture in his "pop the balloon" booth. He doesn't look thrilled about his choice of career.

I love this, man. The tonality is perfect.
I'm happy to report that my submission to "The Same Coin" has been selected for inclusion in the upcoming exhibition!
That's the spirit! There is no art without experimentation and a certain level of frustration. And placing distance between capture and evaluation is very healthy. I've discovered gems among photos I'd dismissed even years earlier. Fortunately I never delete anything.
The Old Courthouse museum in downtown Sioux Falls, with a crane reaching the very top of the tower where workers are doing some maintenance on the roof.
Absolutely killer film recipe. Straight out of camera JPEG, zero editing (except for border and watermark).

Freaking brilliant.
A framed print of one of my photos hanging in a local gallery. (A copy of the photo is the second attachment to this post.) A "Best of Show" sticker is attached to the info card.
A JPEG of the photo that won best of show. It's titled "Child in restaurant playing with toy", which is as accurate a description as I can manage in alt text.
Got best of show at a local gallery for the theme "Playful Reflection".
LinkTree is great and all, but I have a website, so why am I paying $5/mo to host links when I can host my own? I took care of this about a month go. Keeping the LinkTree alive for a bit longer so people with old business cards can still use the QR code, but ready to phase this out soon.
That's a lot of work for that information, on top of the work you already put into researching it! But one of the most creative things I've ever seen.
While offering feedback on some images to a young photographer I'm mentoring, I came upon a great article about histogramsβan important tool that a lot of people are unnecessarily intimidated by. It just needs a good explanation, as provided here: digital-photography-school.com/how-to-read-...

A glorious sunny day for a walk in the neighborhood, tempered only by an icy breeze, but good enough for photography.
Playing around with a new recipe in my Fuji X100V, "Dark Diary High Contrast". These are straight out of camera #sooc with no adjustments other than adding the watermark.
Def gonna try this on my X100V.
This is the "Dark Diary" recipe with my Helios 44-2 lens. This black and white recipe is very high contrast.

I use a Square terminal for my photography sales and also take PayPal and Venmo, so I get regular emails about point-of-sale solutions, but I have yet to see "POS" in a subject line and not read it as something completely different.
You can see on both Square and Wide Lomo'Instant that there's a flash button.
Yep! btw that's not anything to do with the Instax format, just the particular camera. Lomo'Instant (Square or Wide) defaults to flash on but you can turn it off. One of the big reasons I like Lomo better than Fuji Instax. Also exposure comp +/- 1 EV. And again, the splitzer is a killer app.
In general I love shooting film because it's an organic process, more meditative. And instant being a bit inconsistent gives you a surprise factor. I especially like the multi-exposure feature of the Lomo'Instant (as many as you like, and the splitzer gives you tons of artistic control).
Why I love the Lomo'Instant: more hands-on than Fuji brand with more control over the image, plus the retro look is awesome. Fuji is easier to get a good shot but it's boring. Also Lomo has longer focal length which I like. And the Lomo'Instant Square can also shoot mini. >>
Why I love instant photography: it's raw, lo-fi, immediate, and one-off. Only 1 copy exists and it makes a great memento of an occasion. Love the colors although I slightly prefer warmer Polaroid colors over cooler Instax. >>
I haven't used wide but want to. Mini is too small for me but square is a nice size, and a natural for instant b/c of Polaroid. I also shoot Polaroid & prints are definitely bigger than Instax (paper itself is about the same size as Instax wide but image is square). >>
I have the Lomo'Instant Square Glass (Pigalle edition) and I love it.
Magical.
I felt I needed to snag it before the dreaded B&H backorder.
