Love starts with playful hugs when we’re young
and
grows into deep connection and comfort as we mature.
Give someone a hug today.

R: Me at Woodstock.
L: Late 1960s photo someone just sent me.
Well @rainhayes.com - I fit in perfectly in San Fran when I was there in late 1969!

Thank you. I need a distraction from the real world big time!

"Composition is the strongest way of seeing". - Edward Weston.
Check out these two photographs: Left, Antarctica, 2024. Right, Alien Throne, 2025. Both photos: iPhone 16 Pro.
While I was at Alien Throne last month, I saw my Antarctica photograph in my mind.
You can see why.

Remember:
You rest, you rust.
Movement is medicine.

Two iPhone photo favs from Mongolia.
Kinda amazing what one can capture with a smartphone.
Remember: Light illuminates, shadows define.

A new tripod (or any camera accessory) may help you get better pictures.
Understanding and discovering the power of pictures will make you a better photographer.
I talk about that in my Photo Therapy book, which is available on Amazon.
