Snowflake #15

Snowflake 15

Portland got a nice week of intermittent snow storms.
I got my macro gear setup to try and capture some of the little beauties.
They were hard to find and mostly melted, but this one lingered long enough to dance.

This Year's Advent Wreath Mandala

This year’s Advent wreath, which this year my mom made, in our usual tradition – from sand and the dry but bright color of flowers and herbs.

Happy 4th of Advent.

Climate Spiral

This Climate Spiral, as I call the altar, is made on this day of the people’s climate march, toward the end of a week of solidarity.  It was inspired by hearing about the water blessings taking place in Washington DC before the day’s events begin.

I build this altar.  Recognizing that the earth is whole, and shall be fine.  Also recognizing that we are at choice, we can influence how quickly our planet changes and what will be lost.

Contemplate, make your choices, add your unique voice.

Grow at the Edge

Here are some images from my first week shooting IR ‘infrared’ Photographs (tech / how-to information below).  Portland has been cloudy mostly, so just shooting artificial light, around the block, and in the trees; not shooting much in full sun. I still haven’t settled on a processing method either.  Tell me what you think and leave your thoughts and start some discussion below!

exciting!

blub cover

This 60 page full color 8×10 hardcover volume is available direct to you for $49.99
(through Blurb at the link above, or contact me directly for a discout)

The journeys of 2014 kept Nicholas and his cameras mostly in the Northwest, and within the environs of Portland, Oregon – but that is for another time.  Here we see where he went, what he shared and explored.  The roads wind ever onward – to enchanted Oregon forests, deserts, and waterfalls.  And to Adirondack high peaks and snow at the beach.  I invite you to step in and enjoy where Nicholas’s eye takes you in these pages.

Should you desire a PDF version to print yourself, contact me and I can make one available.
