There's something lovely about the simplicity of the still life. To some it is just an old tire patch kit. But to the artist it is a thing of beauty.

Protecting...
Another (very) long exposure done very well. What is interesting here is the contrast in texture with absolutely none in the water and the sharpness in the stones. I find the square presentation to be very appealing.
O m i n o u s # 1
I find this image very appropriately titled. Long exposures have long been a creative technique in photography. This image uses it well without overdoing the effect. And combined with the twisted, unrecognizable hunks of metal it makes for a very ominous and beautiful image indeed.
Central Saint Martins, Southampton Row
There's something terribly Escher-esque about this, at least to my eye. I find the high contrast very pleasing and the person walking the stairs adds a nice human element to the image.

Bordighera hors saison
There is something special about photography that lets you present to people things that the eye does not normally see. Long exposures are one of those magical techniques. This is a simple enough scene, but with the misty, featureless water and the movement of the clouds in the sky it becomes a scene from a dream.
pinhole polaroid 55
Pinhole shots so often leave something to be desired. But this is not one of those pinhole shots. This is a refreshing and atypical perspective of the California seaside, a very beautiful place to be sure. The sharpness of the pinhole, the long exposure, and the vignetting come together wonderfully for a very appealing image.
Fields of corn
The dramatic sky immediately grabs your attention. The tracks in the field leave me wondering where they come from and where the lead to. There is a certain emptiness to this very carefully composed, very well done image.
Sheep
The lone sheep looking at the camera makes the image. I find the simple composition very appealing.
