Mariehamn, Åland, 2015. I took this picture 10 years ago today. They cut these trees down just before the pandemic to build a factory. Now it's just a scar on the landscape. #scape #birch #wood #forest #snow #winter #treescape #treeporn #nature #landscape #landscapephotography #naturephotography

Amy Winehouse, Cardiff, 2004. This is a rejected frame. My flash didn't fire at full power and the Nikon D100 had such low dynamic range it's way too noisy. I still like the image though. My #AmyWinehouse pictures are hosted here: www.alamy.com/stock-photo/... #monochrome #portrait #music #noise
