Twilight
An evening stroll under partly cloudy skies. Itās nice to return to an urban landscape now and then, where a mix of elements gives the story a little more range. The emerging evening lights and the fading sky work together in a quiet harmony, as an empty doorway is calling me back inside.
Gameday
Itās college football season, and living in a college town means Saturdays are always busy. Near the stadium, I came across these giant Xās and Oās, part of a sculpture symbolizing the offense and defense. Today, I returned without the crowds and commotion to see what I could find.
Passing on the Right
It feels like the dog days of summer are slowly giving way, the last truly hot afternoons winding down here in the NW. Driving home last night with the windows down, the warmth of the day still lingering, I caught sight of a beat-up pickup merging beside me at the on-ramp. As it sped past, I grabbed a shot to catch the fading light, knowing the season itself was slipping away with it. The lateā¦
Morning Dew
Getting low, all the way down to ground level, has its advantages. From here, the world is transformed. What was once just underfoot becomes a forest as vast as anything seen at eye level. Each blade of grass stands tall, tipped with drops of dew that cling like tiny lanterns, catching the light. It feels as if the morning holds its breath just long enough for these drops to form, before the sunā¦
Morning Ritual
Every morning just before daybreak as the city slowly begins to wake a ritual plays out along the many lakes that dot the city of Hanoi. The exercise faithful gather along the paths and walkways to start the day either in solitude or group excercise activities. Not just a few, but literally hundreds of people are out stretching, dancing, cycling, or performing Tai Chi. The first time I witnessedā¦
NhĆ£n LĆ³ng
NhĆ£n Lį»ng, which translates to āDragonās Eye,ā is a popular fruit here in Vietnam. Known as longan in the West, it originates from Asia and shares a similar taste with lychee, belonging to the same family of fruit trees. Earlier today, a small plate on a windowsill in Hue City caught my eye. During a free moment at lunch, I returned to explore this single subject in the soft afternoon light.
Bowing to Progress
Steve Mason āBowing to Progressā 8/16/24 We arrived just at twilight. After a long dayās run down the coast, we crossed the bar into Fort Bragg, California, as the light was fading, entering what felt like another world. Along the narrow waterway that led to the marina, docks were filled with fishermen unloading the dayās catch. The air was a blend of music from honky-tonk bars, barking seaā¦
Abandoned Dreams
In a serene cove not too far from here, the shattered dreams of a once-proud ferryboat lie strewn along the shoreline. The Ocean City embarked on a remarkable journey from the east coast through the Panama Canal and along the western coast hoping to become a tourist attraction here in the tranquil waters of Puget Sound. Back in 1932, this ferry was a functional car ferry in Ocean City, MD, beforeā¦

Power of Two
Early Sunday morning in any park around the world is pretty much the same. Time to reflect on the week past and the days ahead.With a loved one by your side, itās even better.

Fist and Whistle
Hanging for a clock and barometer set we have had on the boat since we bought her in 2002, the monkey fist and the bosunās whistle swing beautifully to the rhythm of the boat as she moves at the dock or underway. A visual reference to the motion we feel every day as life on a boat is seldom ever free of movement.A monkey fist is a knot tied into the end of a long line to create a weighted endā¦

Streets of Nazare
The coastal town of NazarĆ© here in central Portugal was just a sleepy fishing town with good fish and spectacular beaches before it was discovered five years ago as home to the largest surfing waves in the world. Now the surf community has beaten a path to its doorstep and with good reason.From the cliffs above town, the view of tow-in surfers from around the world battling monster swell from theā¦

Nightcrawler
Evening walks with a camera, no matter the country, often find me out late into the night. There is an appeal to shooting deep in the night that holds me. The absence of daylight pushes me to discover new places affording any light source. I wander from light to light like an insect attracted to a bare bulb. Heavy shadows growing away from every source ā a natural vignette around every scene.Hereā¦

Field Rust
Location scouting can hold real gems sometimes. One minute youāre looking for the perfect place to shoot a commercial project and the next you become sidetracked by shooting a random object in an open field totally unrelated to the needs of the day.Never one to pass up an interesting found object combined with a tolerant client who allows me to linger for just a few minutes here and explore. Itāsā¦

Christmas Walk
A quick walk finds long morning shadows around some lonely tables and chairs. The storm-blown debris catches my eye and a shallow depth of field helps to focus on what Iām really seeing.

Sleeping Guard
With Thanksgiving today and a house full of guests arriving soon a trip to the photo well was necessary. The choice of this sleeping ticket taker in Myanmar from a few years ago mimics the shadows and tiles while foreshadowing the potential deep recline that most certainly follows a Thanksgiving feast.My subject was found near the entrance of one of the largest reclining buddhas in Mandalay.

Itās that time of year. A move north that is quickly becoming an annual occurrence as I make the change from a life lived in a harbor along the California coast to one in the northern reaches of the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. Here on the remote coast of central Vancouver Island, there is little more than what the locals call āa life of rocks, trees, and waterā. Giant Spruce and occasional redwoods filling the space between rock and water barely leaving space for humans to intrude. When I do, with a camera in hand, the widest lens in my kit is the only way to even attempt to capture the enormity of this place and some of the species that inhabit it. Standing at the foot of these monsters, my head tipped backward almost to the point of toppling over, itās a wonder they have been here over a 1000 years. The canopy above stretching across the sky blocking out all but the noonday sun. Having a 16mm lens up close is a blessing here. Getting the chance to stand amongst these giants of nature- a true honor.
A single pane of glass offers so many options. One dimension becomes two and almost three when the light is just right. The sunrise filling the window frames gives so many different directions to go. Itās hard to decide when time is limited and the light is on the move. Ā Ā Ā
