Getting in under the wire again for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow with the #abandoned theme. There’s always an interesting story behind forgotten objects, don’t you think? #PhotographersOfBlueSky #photography #SCAPE #photographersonbluesky #photography #landscape #photographers

“Rainy Day, The Bronx” - pretty much sums up my mood lately: In the midst of an absolute deluge of bad news, just trying to see my way through it. Bit of good news: It was accepted into the “Expressionism” exhibition at A Smith Gallery. #photography #februarty #turquoise #PhotographersonBlueSky #art

Since other mARTch challenges are happening, I've changed our hashtags for next month. You can use #MakersmARTch or #mkrsmARTch, whichever is easier to remember. Also, open to suggestions for easier-to-remember tags. #FebruARTy #JanuARTy Official Feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...

This has been a proper Buffalo Winter lately. You can learn to find joy in snow. If not, you'll still have the same amount of snow but less joy. -Old Swedish saying #EastCoastKin #photography #winter #snow #trees

For #STUNDay may I present to you the incredible ceiling at Moynihan Train Hall in NYC, with the inverted city sculpture by Elmgreen & Dragset. What a mesmerizing piece of sculpture! #FebruARTy #bigandsmall #EastCoastKin #photographers #artists #NYC #sculpture

Squeezing in a photo just in time for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow with the theme #monochrome. I was honored to have this photo, called “Trio”, included in the recent juried group exhibition “In Praise of Trees” at PhotoPlace Gallery in Vermont. #photographers #photography #landscapephotography #trees

This long exposure infrared image was made on Moccasin Creek in Rabun County Georgia. I used a full spectrum Nikon D750 with a Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8 lens and a 720nm filter. Processed in Lightroom. Get out there. #photography #ir #infrared #EastCoastKin #longexposure

It takes high speed photography to catch this nutcase. When I Iook in her eyes I see only madness. #FebruArty day for #Eyes #pets #cats #phitography

Multiple exposure of fall aspens. I wanted to convey the feeling of being totally enveloped in these leaves so I took several exposures, each at a slightly different angle, in bright mode, to make the leaves repeat themselves. #photography #multipleexposure #trees #colorado #aspens

I’m a few days late for #februARTy but here’s my #eyes submission. Have you ever studied the eyes of sheep? Mesmerizing! Also: I’m still doing square formats as a protest against Instagram for switching to rectangles (do they even care about #photographers anymore?)! #photography #artists #animals

A quiet corner in a library, with a window looking out into the woods. Yes, there are little pockets of heaven to be found, even now. #januARTy #januarty2025 day 31: #angles #photography #photographers #surrealphotography #artphotography #photographersofbluesky #creativephotography
