A woman pauses at the edge of the river, framing the city from a distance.
The photograph is not so much the skyline, but of the moment when makes a choice.

A woman wearing a straw hat and a red patterned skirt stands beside a river, facing a modern city skyline. She holds up a phone to take a photograph, with calm water in front of her and tall buildings under a clear blue sky.

A woman stands before a blue screen in a museum.
The image asks who is allowed to look, and how meaning is shaped by the place that frames the act of seeing.

Tall towers press in along the Brisbane River, their glass faces hard in the midday sun. The river keeps its slow curve, holding a quiet question about what we build and what we erase.

#Photography #Monochrome #blackandwhite #Brisbane #Cityscape #UrbanLight #River
Black-and-white photograph of tall office and apartment buildings lining the Brisbane River in strong sunlight. The towers rise in a tight cluster on the riverbank, their glass and concrete surfaces catching sharp highlights and deep shadows; the river curves through the frame as a softer, reflective band, with scattered clouds above, suggesting a quiet tension between the hard lines of the city and the slower movement of water and sky.

Merry Christmas, a happy new year and peace to all.
Festive abstract night scene with soft vertical light reflections and warm golden bokeh. Centered gold text reads holiday greetings in four languages: “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,” “Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année,” “Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo,” and “Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches neues Jahr.”

Roadside Field

A roadside field lies under snow and fog. The land does not end; it just disappears from view.

#photography #landscape #winter #snow #midwest #observation #ontheroad
A wide, flat field is covered in snow, seen from the side of a road. A faint curved track runs through the snow toward a single bare tree near the center of the frame. The tree’s dark trunk and branches stand out against a pale, overcast sky. In the distance, the field and horizon fade into thick fog so that sky and ground seem to blend. No people, buildings, or animals are visible.

Lilly Pond

Lily pads spread across dark water.
The surface holds, but does not explain, what lies beneath.

#photography #nature #water #plants #pond #brisbane #Lilly
Green lily pads float across the surface of a dark pond. Gaps between the leaves reveal still water with faint reflections of light and sky. Thin stems run beneath and between the pads, connecting them below the surface.

Food Nook

A food stall in a narrow lane.
Brief encounters pass through it.

#photography #urban #foodcourt #sydney #everyday #city
A narrow foodcourt passage is lined with small food stalls and menu boards showing photographed dishes. Several people stand near high tables, some talking, others waiting. Red lanterns hang above, and green plants are suspended along the right side of the walkway.

Trees in Snow

A group of trees stands alone in a snow-covered field. They mark a place where the land gathers itself.

Snow drifts around a quiet creek. The mist softens the world until only shape and tone remain.

#photography #photo #winter #snow #creek #fog #landscape #nature
A wide winter landscape is covered in snow and light fog. A small creek winds through the center of the image, bordered by patches of brown grass. A simple wooden fence stands near the lower left. The distant horizon fades into fog, and the scene is soft and muted in tone.

Tower and windbreak trees in Iowa winter. What appears still is actually working—broadcasting, sheltering, recording. Even the calm is performed.

The Fact, Not the Argument

A white sign reads “SNAP feeds children,” posted on rusted steel beneath a railway line.
Under a dark railway bridge, the meaning stays blunt and real.

#photography #streetphotography #documentary #snap #socialjustice #publicspace #inequality
A white poster with bold black lettering stating “SNAP FEEDS CHILDREN” is attached to a rusted metal surface beneath a bridge. The metal around it is dark, rough, and weathered, emphasizing the harsh setting.

The trees appeared in a rush of winter light, heavy with ice and dense with detail.

The scene seemed to make its own case—breathtaking, fleeting, and far ahead of anything I could plan.

#photography #monochrome #winter #landscape #bnw #trees #ontheroad #midwest
A dense stand of trees coated in ice and snow leans over a snowy roadside. Branches sag and intertwine under the weight, forming a complex and bright tangle against the pale winter sky. A fence runs diagonally across the foreground

The winter trees bend under a thin crust of ice, caught between stillness and strain.
It’s a simple scene on the surface, but it carries the quiet complexity of a natural system holding itself together through the cold.

on the road, in motion, as a visitor, in winter

A winter farm appears from the road, held at a distance by motion and cold light. It’s a visitor’s moment—short, calm, and shaped by the slow winter pace of the Midwest.

#photography #winter #landscape #rural #midwest #minimalism #snow
The image shows a snow-covered landscape with a red barn and silos on a farm. In the distance, there is a white house surrounded by frost-tipped trees. The sky is overcast, casting a soft, muted light over the scene, emphasizing the cold, tranquil atmosphere.

A quiet line of winter trees in a field along I-88. Snow, fog, and a moment where I could just watch the landscape unfold from the passenger seat.

#photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #winter #landscape #snow #ontheroad #minimalism #fog #CanonR5
A small stand of bare winter trees sits alone in the middle of a wide, snow-covered field. The sky is foggy and pale, creating a soft, even tone with little contrast. The trees form a dark line against the light snow, giving the scene a quiet, isolated feeling. The landscape is empty except for the cluster of trees, and the air appears cold and still.

A dark hill and a line of trees sit under low, heavy clouds. The still pond doubles the scene, turning the landscape into a quiet mirror.

#photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #landscape #reflection #forest #Minnesota
A still pond mirrors a dark hill lined with dense conifers. Bare trees rise from the wet ground, and heavy clouds press down from above. The scene is quiet, stark, and almost symmetrical, with the reflection forming a soft dividing line across the frame.

A torn section of birch bark. The rough grey surface frames a vivid red and brown core. I worked the bark with charcoal but kept the centre saturated. The result hints at a wound, for me, like the way we feel loss and change.

#birch #texture #photography #abstractnature #impermanence #mindfulness
A close view of damaged birch bark where a branch has torn away. The outer bark is rough, grey, and textured. At the centre is a long vertical wound exposing dark red and brown inner wood, with small streaks of gold and lighter fibres. The contrast between the pale bark and the saturated inner core makes the opening resemble a deep gash. The surrounding bark has been darkened and smudged with charcoal, while the exposed wood remains vivid.

Four Healers Return to the Earth

Four birch trees stand bare against the vast water and sky. They mark a season of return and quiet change.

Four tall, leafless birch trees stand in a line on a patch of earth covered with reddish-brown and green plants. Behind them, the vast expanse of Lake Superior stretches out under a sky filled with alternating patches of blue and thick, gray clouds.
