“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”– Jacques Cousteau. Not my photo but a photo of me doing what I love. Photo cred: my good friend Pedro Costa #surfing #ocean #landscape

It’s more than just a sport or hobby. It’s literally a way of life, a way to commune with nature, to shut out the rest of the world if even for just a few moments. It’s moving meditation.

A black and white photograph of a wave and a lighthouse. The wave seems to dwarf the lighthouse. Lots of spray.

It was lovely, a couple of years ago, to have this photo included in Phaidon Press’s anthology, ‘Ocean’ opposite a painting by Aivazovsky. 📷

Perplexity AI’s bid for TikTok and agreeing to give the US gov a 50% stake is giving me these vibes. #streetphotography #photography #streetart #graffiti

Image title - One Headlight. Milky-way over snow capped mountain night scene, interrupted by car driving out of the fog laden valley below.

One Headlight.

Shooting the Milky Way and having composed this image, a vehicle emerged from the fog-laden valley below. Initially annoyed, I was to delete this file. But this image has become my favourite from that night's shoot.

Take-away, don't delete files in camera.

A walk to my happy place. Solitude found along the shore. #landscape #oceanphotography #photography

A Great Blue Heron perched still at the edge of a calm lake, creating a perfect mirror-like reflection in the water below. The bird’s intricate plumage, including its long gray feathers and white accents, is beautifully highlighted against a bright white sky. The stillness of the water enhances the symmetry, making the reflection appear almost identical to the bird above.

In a brief break between snowstorms, I ventured out to check how frozen the lake was. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this stunning heron land gracefully on the water’s edge. I waited for the ripples to settle, and it rewarded me with this perfect shot.

Agreed when I saw this message this morning it felt immediately like if/when it returns it may be something completely different like a a fascist propaganda machine … a sad day for free speech.
