Hit Explore on Flickr Today. Its always nice. I never know which photos the spicy algorithm will select from the millions uploaded for the top 500 of the day.
Winter change. Spiked grass. Soaking rain. A cyclist, a tree, a shelter.
The cold doesn’t shout here—it settles. You either stand in it or you don’t get the shot.
Since I published this.. This particular photo has appeared in Flickr Explore. The strange addictive algorithm that highlights “Interest”. a hover too long, a double take, a moment spent in reflection, perhaps.
The day was not a great one for dramatic photos and the subject was a pile of rocks but this place has a history that predates some entire continents creation. There are not many places in the world you can see granite worn away by time to the shape of waves and water.
I will return to the Dog Rocks .
Oh look it hit Flickr Explore… Grassland bleached white, no edits, no erasures. Just a Summicron’s honest frame:40 degree heat, and a tree built to outlast us. Close to the solstice on the 21st of December.
This image featured on Flickr Explore but was never intended as anything but a print. This is a 24×36″ Giclée limited edition signed print.
Social media rewards bright, sparkly, and highly saturated images but they are hard to live with. This would look good in a room where you want some calm.

Saltbush, pigface and others make this a vibrant photo. It’s simple and was overlooked on the first cut. It’s one of those photos that needs to be printed.
My job as a photographer is to make you look good, to document your event, make your product or food look amazing. This blog is not commercial, it’s not about trying to sell you something. This was taken on the tiny Leica Dlux7 . It constantly amazes me. The quality of the images it produces are really a class above anything I would expect from a compact camera.
