2026-08-09Hello! I must have underestimated the amount of photos from that photowalk in the woods. When I'm used to the grays and greens of a controlled living space, any bits of organic color from the wild pop out to me.I also must have underestimated the amount of photos taken with this wide-angle lens. The look...

2026-08-08Hello!Continuing from yesterday, I went to the woods and walked on a trail for a couple of hours without listening to music of any kind. I can't say it was meditative, but it was at least a calming experience that I appreciate.I recall one of the videos from Courtney Victoria — I can't pull up exactly...

2026-08-07Hello!Near the entrance of the woods, the keepers put up signs of a wildflower garden under construction, for native plants and animals. It's a small thing, but local efforts like these warm my heart a little.Last time I was here, I had my wired earbuds in and I was listening to music downloaded on my...

2026-08-06Hello!Don't do this. Don't scratch the bark off trees to write names and notes. It's as bad as throwing keys into a river after attaching a lock to a photogenic bridge in the name of love.It injures the tree's health, and while I'm not well-versed in nature and biology, I can find plenty of articles...

2026-08-05Hello!I realize that 180 days isn't exactly half a year, but it's a nice round number and close enough that I'm treating it as a milestone. By my count, it's six months of consistent daily uploads. I win.My photography has changed over the past six months, from winter to spring to summer. I thought it...

2026-08-04Hello!This must be obvious to any long-time reader, but I think that I've found a cohesive style surrounding most of the photos I publish on this website. They're spontaneous moments that I capture on photowalks, showing the outdoors through the seasons.I'm still an event photographer by trade, and I...

2026-08-03Hello!I've been trying to grow a backyard garden for over a year now. I would like to take photos of the vegetables growing and the flowers blooming behind my house, but I'm at the stage where I think it's just weeds growing...There's a reason why botanists and gardeners are paid positions. At this park, I...

2026-08-02Hello!I went on a sunset photowalk across the Delaware River again, although a different part to the lookout from a few days ago.The weather was a bit spotty, and I wasn't sure if it was going to rain down while I was outside. The storm clouds in the far distance were approaching this way, and there was...

2026-08-01Hello! It's August now.I once captured this image of a bumblebee dangling from the bottom of a flower. That photograph was from Central Park in New York City, and it was taken when I had mere days worth of camera experience, rather than the years I do now.I ought to go back to proper parks and landmarks. I...

2026-07-31Hello! I should have expected this.I'm lucky that bugs didn't transmit any diseases into me, but the summer season where I live brings itching mosquitoes and the annoying flies.The bugs even enter my house, attacking the kitchen pantry and laying eggs. I don't see them come in, so I can only assume there's...

2026-07-30Hello!This is (part of) the Delaware River. I walked downstream for an hour and got attacked by many bugs, but the view was worth it.This image was the best out of my collection from that photowalk. It's such a classic landscape photograph, with beautiful sunset colors and the horizon on the lower...

2026-07-29Hello!Similar to that one squirrel photo I took where the light fell on a good spot, this photo has the light of sunset up in the trees.I'm not happy with the exposure settings I used — the details are the technical info, for nerds at the bottom. The shutter speed didn't have to be that fast, and I could...
