Just like many others who practice photography as passion and with an artistic intent and mindset, I too do have occasional “flare ups” of doubt, questioning myself and what exactly it is that I’m doing and producing with my camera. These questions are usually best resolved on some trail for me, where my mind can wander while I immerse myself in nature and photographic meditation.
Behind the Scenes
Pieces Falling Into Place
Yes indeed, it has been quiet here for a little while. The reason is that I finally decided to make a decision* 😁 about my photo archive — you may remember what I wrote about the inadequacies of WordPress to serve as such, a while ago, and my quest to find a suitable service to host this photo archive, relieving me from this mess in WordPress.
Cleaning Out The Vaults: 2008
My folder with the photographs from 2008 gets its “done” checkbox ticked. I have created a few blog posts with images that work nicely together from the remaining images that I liked (see section “The Links”, below) and then there are…

Staying close to home, working the scene, exploring techniques, screwing up, making believe, sunset, sunrise, twilight, infrared… and it ends in a déjà vu.
Backyard Datura
