Aerial photographs don’t work unless you fly with a good pilot, or you fly yourself. This shot was the result of a cooperative chopper pilot who could imagine what I wanted, late evening light (for summer in Antarctica), and a chance flight for staff at the end of a long day guiding tourists. / / Lucky me… Available for purchase as a Limited Edition print from my website

Looking downward at the street below waiting for a figure to enter into the frame and then voila, there it is. Click once on image to enlarge. / / / /
Into a brutal harsh desert we are born. Alone. Sentenced to wander golden dunes of time in search of meaning. Alone, we are follow an invisible path to carry us nowhere… Alone, we finally arrive at both the place we sought… and from where we first began… so many eons ago. Near Merzouga, Moroco.
Yes, it looks like reflective aluminium foil, but it’s water. Doesn’t it remind you of the golden foil-like metal on the side of the lunar module that took Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin to the moon? I’ve shot dawn and dusk across the Yarra River several times, but on this morning, just before Easter 2007, the breeze had turned the surface of the river into a symphony of tightly-knit ripples. Standing on Princes Bridge, I was actually shooting the sun as it slowly edged above the horizon when I noticed this majestic avenue of reflected light across the water. I was about to shoot an image with the golden sheen right in the middle of the frame, when I noticed a four-man rowing crew approaching. I deliberately shot this as an asymmetrical composition, so that the eye would be drawn first to the sheen on the left and then to the rowers in the top right-hand corner. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F13, 1/750 sec, ISO 200, focal length 108mm. 22-7965
On the roof of the Peninsula Hotel we had some great chances to capture the beauty of Manhattan. This view is of Fifth Ave looking north to Central Park.

North Conway, New Hampshire / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-500mm lens / October 2009 “North Conway and its surrounding towns offer some of the best hiking in the White Mountain National Forest. It also features some of the best rock climbing sites on the East Coast, its gem being Cathedral Ledge in Echo Lake State Park. The 500-foot (150 m) cliff overlooks Echo Lake from the west and the Saco River and the Saco River valley in the east. Cathedral Ledge has an automobile road to the summit, which provides fine views of the Saco River Valley.” / ~ Wikepedia
