Some do it better than others. But we must never lose sight of the simple fact that not everyone gets to do it. Growing old is a privilege. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2026/6/7/on-the-beach monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ecf851e0-f37e-40ed-a76a-305741813ced/Jim+Molloy.1.Surf%27s+Up+at+Nazare..jpg poetry - On the Beach - Make it stand out An obvious reference in this photograph to the people on the beach, contemplating the incoming waves upon the shore. But the message in this poem was heavily influenced by my close reading of Percy Shelly’s classic poem, Ozymandias and the current political climate in America. In addition, there was this movie I watched long ago called On the Beach. The Cold War plot focused on the fate of the last survivors of a nuclear war, huddled together on an Australian beach awaiting the inevitable cloud of nuclear radiation to reach their shore. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2026/4/15/the-ballet monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/8c4e376e-e155-4e87-8a8f-e03aceb24d99/The+Ballet.jpg poetry - Ballerina in Black - Make it stand out It’s as old as theater itself; the assignment of color in our culture to represent virtue and its antithesis. It made me think of the significance color plays in society writ large right down to the color of our skin. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2026/3/7/the-music-room monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/a8954c6d-9075-45de-b1fd-97cd7d406752/The+Music+Room.jpg poetry - The Music Room - Make it stand out Step back into the Victorian past and wonder; who sat in those chairs, what did they discuss, what music did they play? Like a ghost from the future, I am drawn to this portal, camera in hand. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/12/28/twilight-on-the-baltic monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/d4fd8efd-996c-4c0e-a006-70ab2363698a/Twilight+on+the+Baltic.jpg poetry - Twilight on the Baltic - Make it stand out Have you ever experienced a moment of a beauty transcendent, only to have it shattered by a sudden disturbance; a loud noise, a group of tourists, a jet’s long contrail? https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/12/18/the-plein-air-painter monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/5c93eed5-1277-475d-b741-39bd3652f1ed/The+Plein+Air+Painter.jpg poetry - The Plein Air Painter - Make it stand out I have often wondered about the source of artistic inspiration. Where does it come from? How do we acquire it? How do we express it? I think this photograph and the poem that follows offer some possible answers to these questions. Consider the artist, shown here, who chooses to paint nature while standing within it. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/11/11/the-way-of-the-tea monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/5962dc8e-c682-4496-9fe2-f8163e8e9844/The+Way+of+the+Tea.jpg poetry - The Way of the Tea - Make it stand out The poem takes you through the ritual of the tea ceremony. If you have experienced one you will quickly recognize the many references. Photographed in Kyoto, Japan. Hope you enjoy it! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/9/16/chains monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/df888df2-2f8f-4e2c-8feb-69147f7ebd39/Chains.jpg poetry - Chains - Make it stand out A thought provoking image about the tools we use that both build and destroy. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/8/1/prayer-by-the-lake monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/42818a86-3694-45b5-8bcf-783d61d2158e/Squarespace-4.jpg poetry - Prayer by the Lake - Make it stand out Wherein lies the power of prayer? Do we really believe that our prayers are answered or not, by some unknowable deity? Turn on the television most days and you will hear some public official sending his or her thoughts and prayers to the families suffering from some tragic circumstance. Who benefits most, I have to wonder? The victims or the person doing the praying? https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/7/14/the-last-of-us monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/deb7f958-9565-4de8-9ea8-61e3aba9cf01/The+Last+of+Us.jpg poetry - The Last of Us - Make it stand out Let this image sink in. I will leave the poem open to your interpretation. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/6/22/just-old-men-now monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/b0c5df7b-a7a1-44b5-b48a-d070b8f2c521/Cezanne.jpg poetry - Just Old Men Now - Make it stand out I have always believed that fame is a double edged sword. There are many positive and negative components to life in the public eye. This poem focuses on one of the negatives. On social media we constantly see images of our heroes when they were in their prime and compare their aging selves to that standard. A symptom of our culture’s obsession with youth, I think. And it saddens me. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/4/19/she-sweeps-the-steps monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/968c522f-97cf-4862-9cb9-b35b5a7cf33e/JamesMolloy_AS_BCC_SheSweeps+the+Steps_M.jpg poetry - She Sweeps the Steps - Make it stand out Perhaps it was the incongruity of this female caretaker sweeping the steps of this grand palace (photographed in Prague) with a simple broom that motivated the story told below. I did not speak with her, I don’t recall even seeing her face. I do not know her story. But this image has always had a powerful effect on me. So I gave her a story, a sad one to be sure; coping with personal loss! And just maybe, the simple repetitive task of sweeping will free her mind and bring some measure of relief even if it’s just for a matter of minutes. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/3/9/saguaro monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/241962cf-9dd5-4f8e-9a3c-be6c17c35bdb/Saguaro+Sunset.jpg poetry - Saguaro - Make it stand out A Saguaro Cactus at sunset. Aside from their immense size, countless shapes and their other worldly beauty, I was struck most by their age, their resilience to the test of time, their relationship to a particular place. Thus, a poem that attempts to capture these enduring themes. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2025/1/26/in-repose monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/8892a269-2fb5-4f54-bae7-9b75e281db38/In+Repose.jpg poetry - In Repose - Make it stand out Our dreams may offer some solace, a respite from some sadness. Or they may play out that memory in some strange and vague form that crystalizes the moment we awake. In any event, the unwanted memory always returns. A Lotus flower rising above a sea of green and blue at daybreak tells this story. But there is something inherently sad in the way it lists toward the light. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2024/11/18/the-shipwreck monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/82dd28f7-e796-4e48-89ec-bb2fbead528e/DSCF7689-Edit-Edit-Edit-2-Edit-Edit.jpg poetry - The Shipwreck - Make it stand out I’ll admit that I do not have a photo of a sunken ship. This will have to do. Here’s the connection; when I look at this photo it reminds me of the kind of shore where the detritus of a shipwreck would wash up. It’s rugged, uneven and uninviting. The poem, however, focuses on the moment an underwater discovery is made although the last stanza makes an allusion to experiencing the dangers of the sea from the relative safety of the shore. The poem was inspired by an article I read about modern day underwater treasure hunters. I was also inspired by the unforgettable scenes from the Titanic wreck. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2024/10/7/innocence-lost monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/d361d5bf-d1ec-4620-a052-8025822cda7b/O+Human+Child-3.jpg poetry - Innocence Lost - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2024/7/15/unscripted monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/8e2c10b7-c210-4f24-ad43-af3dbb4781dd/tempImageaeqPfp.jpg poetry - On the Beach - Make it stand out It’s a rainy day on the beach. Bad news is never far from our day to day reality but we are always surprised when it somehow finds us, as if it were all just a profound mistake. Are you sure you have the right guy? Depending on the severity of the bad news our first inclination is some level of denial. Anyway, that’s what the experts say. Over time you come to the realization that you are not and never have been exempt! So when that bad news does arrive, why not just roll the dice? Why not go jogging in the surf even if it’s raining. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2024/5/7/simple-pleasures monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/05622b19-e60f-46a3-ac8c-d4aa70e6b87d/May+Flowers.jpg poetry - Simple Pleasures - Make it stand out There are times when we realize that the greatest pleasures are the most simple ones. I’ve catalogued a few in the poem below and you will quickly notice the use of sensory perception for each. Sadly, in my view, we don’t afford enough time to appreciate these simple pleasures. We are just too busy with all the important things we have to do! Right? https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2024/3/15/a-clear-choice monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/f081da2d-79c9-4ee4-963f-70e5014496b7/No+Justice%2C+No+Peace+copy.jpg poetry - A Clear Choice - Make it stand out Americans will soon make a choice that will determine what kind of nation we want to be and what kind of people we really are. As I stated in the Category Section, I don’t do photo journalism very often but Truth, Honor, and Justice are on the ballot this time. A Populist/Fascist movement has made its hateful priorities clear. The results will define us for generations. Pray we make the right choice. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/12/21/destiny monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/27daffb0-0652-4154-b97f-cd886df3e545/TVCC+Christmas-19.jpg poetry - Destiny - Make it stand out As we grow older, we find ourselves reflecting more often on the meaning of life’s journey including the possibility that there is no essential meaning at all. In our search for answers to life’s mysteries, some turn to faith, some turn to purpose, and some, I suppose, turn to poetry. But I think, in the end, the answers we seek can be found in the love for those we share this journey with. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/12/17/the-sun-lady monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ea9d741a-9815-4861-9ce8-c08cc8fbe779/TVCC+Christmas-18.jpg poetry - The Sun Lady - Make it stand out A poem that represents a composite of two women; one, the tourist in Sicily you see in this image; the other, a woman I see frequently in my neighborhood, walking her dog with singular purpose. Both convey a sense of alluring mystery. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/12/11/memory monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/04eeb271-308f-4783-a810-61ee58fb05ec/TVCC+Christmas-23.jpg poetry - Memory - Make it stand out It may be a reach, but I think combining a photograph of an abandoned structure with a poem about a painful memory makes sense. A distant memory becomes tarnished by age, diminished by the present, a shadow of its former self, but yet still visible. Just like an old abandoned home. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/11/17/the-white-sail monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/bc669178-40e6-471d-8a72-449eb65496df/Soft+Seas.jpg poetry - The White Sail - Make it stand out The White Sail - Written as I sat on the balcony of our hotel near Agrigento, Sicily, watching a small sailboat make its way along the coast. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/8/15/to-contemplate-the-sea monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/84e85a8a-bff6-40f8-a52f-8cccbe755c27/To+Contemplate+the+Sea.jpg poetry - To Contemplate the Sea - Make it stand out It’s an experience many of us have shared: You are strolling along an ocean beach at sunset and suddenly you have an urge to stop, look up, listen and smell the sea air. For a few brief moments you are caught up in a meditative trance as you ponder the beauty of the sky and the sea and how you came to be standing on this beach, at this time and in this place. The poem below might be your experience. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/7/19/another-world monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/f6e8ba12-ea36-494e-b49e-c3524dbf981d/Another+World-2.jpg poetry - Another World - Make it stand out It is mid-July 2023. Temperatures are rising to record highs all across the globe; the hottest day ever recorded, the hottest year since records were first kept, fifteen plus days in a row over 110* in Phoenix, AZ, the ocean water in Miami reaching hot tub temperatures, all of Europe once again baking under the summer sun. Add to this scenario the forest fires with their drifting smoke, torrential rains leading to massive floods, tornadoes touching down in places where they are seldom seen, rising sea levels due to melting glaciers. I see it all covered daily on the news. What I don’t see is any nation, state, politician, or corporation doing anything about it. Watch-out folks! Our planet is fast becoming Another World. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/7/5/the-flower-in-the-wire monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/706cf31d-f06b-4b6e-b916-43d4b1f72655/Fence+Post.jpg poetry - The Flower in the Wire - Make it stand out Clearly this poem is open to interpretation. However, consider all the things in life; what you see, what you hear, what you feel, that just don’t seem to add up. What am I missing? https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/6/14/tree-in-the-wind monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/d5cf8853-8453-4958-94ef-c28b72a6649c/Tree+in+the+Wind2.jpg poetry - Tree in the Wind - Make it stand out There is something about a lone tree that compels me to take its photograph. Look at my portfolio on this site and you will find several other trees alone. I took this pic atop a barren volcanic hill at Craters of the Moon National Park in southern Idaho. In the poem below I write about what I see here but in words that frame an allegory for something else. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/5/15/the-river monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/fdf2f4b1-38fa-44cf-ba80-d3e2a5dc85b5/The+River+2.jpg poetry - The River - Make it stand out The River - A short poem inspired by this dramatic landscape. Allow your eye to scan the photograph from top to bottom as you read each stanza of the poem; from the sky, to the mountains, down to the river. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/4/6/haiku-the-wagon monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/54da15e8-5a69-4d97-b30f-de7e9e3e5f42/Scotland-2.jpg poetry - Haiku: The Wagon - Make it stand out I wanted a poetic structure that would fit this simple but compelling composition. I decided on a series of haiku that combine the sky, the ocean, the shore and the wagon in a brief story about hope and hardship. Or consider each haiku on its own merit! I found inspiration in Richard Wright’s This Other World and William Carlos Williams’ The Red Wheelbarrow. I took this photograph on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/3/20/church-door monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/64e4e903-0360-43bc-991b-1531706216fa/Church+Door.jpg poetry - Presence of Absence - Make it stand out Across the square from this church was a cafe that advertised Fado Night. Go anywhere in old Lisbon and you can find an establishment where Fado (a Portuguese folk song that is “typically of doleful or fatalistic character”) is performed. The music was described to me by one Alfacinha (a person from Lisbon) as “the presence of absence.” I think that is what we were feeling as we walked along these quiet, historic streets. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2023/1/20/high-wire monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ce782d40-1245-40a6-9061-b221342c66a9/DSCF1406-Edit-Edit.jpg poetry - High Wire - Make it stand out This time the poem inspired the photograph. Consider High Wire a stream of consciousness morning rant meant to be read quickly. A new year, a new plan? More resolutions? I don’t think so. I’m tired of the phony nonsense on social media, the polarization in our country, the commercial rat race, a climate in crisis, lying politicians, senseless wars, racial hatred and everything else that keeps us running along that high wire. Like Lt. Kaffee, I just want the truth. I think I can handle it! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2022/11/30/time-to-organize monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/fb8112f6-b580-461d-801a-3cc66012fb05/Time+to+Organize.jpg poetry - Time to Organize - Make it stand out I photographed this clock sculpture on Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland. The words “Time to Organize” refer to the labor movement and the IWW specifically. Since I am obsessed with the passage of time, I interpreted the message in a different way by applying it to our personal lives in light of the fact that our time is limited. Yes, I used a few cliches here but I thought they helped convey the message. We all need some degree of order in our lives. We all desire harmony! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2022/11/8/where-did-all-the-birds-go monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1667934233537-17N970YRMSYSIXEM88IB/Sparrow+in+the+Snow.jpg poetry - Where did all the birds go? - Make it stand out For the first time I now live in what is essentially an urban environment. I never thought I would miss, as much as I do, seeing but more importantly, hearing the songbirds. Yes, the geese will fly overhead honking their instructions and I do hear an occasional owl hooting from a rooftop in the hour before daybreak, but no songbirds. I realized that I had taken their sound and their presence for granted just like we do for so many other positive experiences. It is sad to think that we can only truly appreciate such things when they are gone. Consider this warning from the Audubon Society: More than half of the bird species in the U.S. are in decline. There is a larger lesson to be learned here! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2022/7/7/anger-wings monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1657220930538-S7XVMTVKW1EOMD7NJYJ4/Angel+Wings.jpg poetry - Angel Wings - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2022/6/13/light-and-shadow-at-the-alhambra monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1655161935326-C6EMT3CB2YTUKWCYVMW9/Light+and+Shadow+at+the+Alhambra.jpg poetry - Light and Shadow at the Alhambra - Make it stand out The interior of the breathtakingly beautiful Alhambra Palace at night. Located in southern Spain, it remains one of the most stunning examples of Islamic architecture. I tried to relate some of what I saw and how I felt during this rare night tour of the palace. I owe the format to the poet Sadakichi Hartmann and his wonderful poem , Nocturne. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2022/5/10/enchanted-rock monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1652200134515-XPMKKW41MMEQ7CKHAE2D/Enchanted+Rock.jpg poetry - Enchanted Rock - Make it stand out I had not planned to photograph this scene. I was there by chance but I knew it was an opportunity to record something special. The question of religious faith is a theme that appears often in my poetry, evidence, I suppose, of my own struggle to come to terms with it. Sometimes I think I suffer from “faith envy.” More often I just don’t get it. So I work it out on paper with poems like Enchanted Rock. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2022/2/9/the-great-silence monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1644450401739-N657LQZZYJO9CENQ2C3C/The+Great+Silence.jpg poetry - The Great Silence - Make it stand out I recently read The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace Wells. It scared the hell out of me! The bottom line is that we have about three decades to significantly reduce carbon emissions to achieve a best case scenario; an increase of one or two degrees Celsius. Even then, there will be dire consequences. If we don’t act now, the results will be catastrophic! The poem is a summation of what I read. I borrowed freely some lines from the author and his sources. They anchor the poem and appear in italics. The blackened landscape from the 2016 Pioneer Fire in Idaho was shot on a camping trip in 2021. So I ask: Where is the political will? https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2022/1/11/hot-springs monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1654364510953-RYVCWWV2LQS1GZ238F1O/Hoar+Frost.jpg poetry - Hot Springs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2021/10/7/autumn-mist monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1633648618148-6XDG7TJRG6X4Y3D5MTU7/Autumn+Mist.jpg poetry - Autumn Mist - Make it stand out I look forward to October when the warm days combine with the cool nights to produce a mysterious morning mist. For me, the changing of the season is always a time for quiet reflection and all the more poignant in the Fall with the color, the mist, the silence and the coming of winter. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2021/9/23/the-light-over-lucky-peak monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1632413834959-D9CG9MWKLGU6DQQVRW68/The+Light+Over+Lucky+Peak.jpg poetry - The Light Over Lucky Peak - Make it stand out A true story! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2021/9/2/to-what-end monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1630613563843-8PT8QKLIJV2X0F5PJTPK/To+What+End.jpg poetry - To What End? - Make it stand out An additional stanza was added to this poem after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2021/7/7/receding monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1625691878062-FX4GTNJ42HXFZ7C89GAT/Receding+Ice.jpg poetry - Receding - Make it stand out I have made use of an extended metaphor here, although the terms ice, glacier and global warming are never mentioned.

My imagination runs wild. My worst fears rise up into my consciousness no matter how unreasonable. I tell myself that it is safer than driving a car, that the odds and the statistics are in my favor. And yes, there is the thrill of the takeoff and the relief of the landing; but I am never fully at ease. For me, it is the utter lack of control; that you have placed yourself so completely in the hands of a stranger and an indifferent machine. I don’t even like being a passenger in a car! So this is where faith comes in: Faith in the machines we build, faith in our fellow man, and yes, faith in a deity. We need God (hope) in moments like this (because fate is so fickle and our future so uncertain) to make sense of the senseless. If you think about it, flying just makes the uncertainties of daily life more acute. Yes, a plane can crash. But we can also get hit by a bus, suffer a heart attack, or contract covid. So we pray! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2020/9/25/smoke-on-the-water monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1601057545342-OCV4KTBH25PJ8EUYL8HH/Smoke+on+the+Water.jpg poetry - Smoke on the Water Smoke on the Water - Although the fires from California and Oregon had cast a pall of smoke across southern Idaho, we decided to go ahead with our plans to raft down the Snake River. In many ways it was a very surreal experience. The smoke in the atmosphere had created a dream like haze upon the water that made for some very compelling photographs. But for me, the fire and smoke became a metaphor for the political and social turmoil that raged beyond these canyon walls, while we drifted far below, isolated and content in our brief escape. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2020/9/16/blood-red-sun monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1600284548694-XHCS3IFZSEIMHW9H7WTC/Blood+Red+Sun.jpg poetry - Blood Red Sun As if Covid was not sufficiently adding to our already darkened state of mind, a series of wildfires are raging across the northwestern states turning the sky a pale grey and the sun into a blood red orb. And still the violence in our streets continues. In particular, there is the sad story of a misguided seventeen year old who thought it was a good idea to take his semi-automatic weapon into a neighboring state to confront protestors. He killed two people. We live in a nation ravaged by climate change, disease, racism and political turmoil; and we are armed to the teeth!

Yet another black American has lost their life because of the color of their skin. This in a land ostensibly dedicated to the principles of liberty and justice for all. The struggle is as old as the nation itself and still we have yet to come to terms with America’s original sin. Perceptions must change if we are to survive as one nation. Let the protests continue until we have lived up to our ideals! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2020/5/12/soft-rain monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1589330175326-Q54OL2YY3K662JD0FODO/Yellow+Iris.jpg poetry - Soft Rain You might recognize my debt to Sara Teasdale’s There Will Come Soft Rains. It is a poem that I first read in high school and it has haunted me all these years. The message is clear; the world will carry on without us.

It’s been a week since our return from Morocco and yes, the inspiration for this poem is the photograph you see above. But I am also thinking of the isolation so many of us are experiencing as we shelter in place for protection against the coronavirus. As of this writing, the US has surpassed China and Italy for the total number of cases - and the death toll continues to climb with no end in sight. With the economy at a standstill and social life cut off, we are all in a virtual desert praying that the isolation we are feeling will soon come to an end and we can all enjoy the sounds of the market once again. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2020/3/5/setting-sun monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1583419575173-6ZN149O881SWT0KOLLN7/The+Setting+Sun.jpg poetry - The Setting Sun https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2020/2/4/mountain monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1580840011704-D27R2SFW0ZIPZ2U7EWRW/Mountain+Pass.jpg poetry - Mountain Pass I have always been fascinated by the history of the Oregon Trail. The hope and the courage displayed by these “overlanders” in search of a better life resonates down through the centuries. This photograph was taken just outside the Treasure Valley not far from where the Oregon Trail passed through these foothills around Boise, Idaho. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2020/1/19/l7z4e6s8eqp1grrj8jnip8oofcmnc4 monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1579455238638-S1JFRTUMSOVUG7E2431U/Clouds+in+the+Corn.jpg poetry - Clouds in the Corn The United States is about to conduct an impeachment trial of the president; the third in the nation’s history. Somehow I knew, three years ago, that this is where we would end up. The social and cultural divisions in the country have hardened the political camps and the spirit of compromise, the essence of our democratic system, is all but impossible to achieve.

When I walk these fields on one of my many visits, I always try to put myself in the brogans of the foot soldier on both sides. I know the history of each section of the battlefield and many of the anecdotal stories that go with it. I know the names of many of the men that fought here; I’ve read their accounts of the battle. But having never been in combat, all of my insight comes second hand. Therefore, I have to rely on a few lines of poetry to imagine what it may have been like for those men at Gettysburg, or on any other battlefield, in those last few moments before the battle is joined. I elected to write this as a sonnet. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/7/25/revelation monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1564064434707-FQ9ZV129L0EK789B2CE8/Revelation.jpg poetry - Revelation I imagine that every age sees within its strife, the slow but inevitable advance of the coming end times. How can we not be fascinated and alarmed by the imagery of an apocalypse? If I were to experience my own revelation about our collective fate, it would be here (or some place like it); the hallowed ground of a battlefield that Joshua Chamberlain once called “a vision place of souls.” The photograph above is the Gettysburg battlefield at last light. Unlike Chamberlain, who fought here, I am drawn to this place for reasons I cannot explain. To create my interpretation of this photo, I incorporated some of the more powerful and enigmatic imagery from the Book of Revelation to supplement my own and, of course, borrowed the title. The end result here is both a poem and a prayer. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/7/2/on-the-4th-of-july monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1562074833264-1HWVAIDDJUH0S427POY7/Flowers+%26+Flag.jpg poetry - On the 4th of July The flag on a bed of roses. Very much the idealized, romantic and preferred image of ourselves. I am writing on the eve of this year’s holiday, when the current occupant of the White House plans to co-opt the traditional celebration of our nation’s independence for political purposes. Just another affront to our national character. I’ve stopped counting how many have preceded it. American Democracy is under siege in 2019. It also occurred to me that we bring flowers to funerals as well. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/6/27/the-bather monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1561645385800-6NCLTT6CQ3ML8P2JUTZM/The+Bather.jpg poetry - The Bather I understand that this is probably not the interpretation most people would have about this photograph. Let me explain: I have been obsessed with the singer/songwriter Mark Lanegan of late. If you know his music, you know many of his themes are dark. Add his deep sad voice to the music and you have a soulful sound that creates a somber penetrating mood; a look at the dark side if you will. So you have this semi-nude female of stone, large slabs of cold quarry slate, and a dark pool…and the song Bloodline, the inspiration for this poem. The sculpture is actually called The Bather, located at the outdoor sculpture garden, OPUS 40. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/6/2/waking-up monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1559507354917-EPM2MEO4RPIECGDXXA75/Gettysburg+Dawn.jpg poetry - Waking Up https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/5/26/what-is-it-about-the-rain monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1558885601485-CX50HLPW2JBS9ZT4I2ZN/Sitting+in+the+Rain.jpg poetry - What Is It (about the rain)? https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/5/6/the-persistence-of-memory monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1557154003687-B43Q439YBR449AX758A5/The+Persistence+of+Memory.jpg poetry - The Persistence of Memory https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/5/2/shadow-figures monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1556800280753-E3XXXKIQWDEYHJAFTQR0/Trees+by+the+River.jpg poetry - Shadow Figures https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/4/9/paris-in-the-spring monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1554818830778-7YXPG4DTLUOMJVDWXDUV/Paris+in+the+Spring.jpg poetry - Paris in the Spring https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/3/7/in-a-sleepy-hollow monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1551980515654-TGIORX6GN2QK7BXAS7S8/Winter+Wonder-2.jpg poetry - In a Sleepy Hollow https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2019/3/5/ecuador monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1551798652194-ADTES9ZMJNY9NK30FZYQ/Alone+in+the+Square.jpg poetry - Ecuador A statue of the Virgin Mary in a darkened church square and a poem about unrequited love.

Truth is a commodity to be negotiated like a commercial treaty. In this new reality of “alternative facts” we are confronted with versions of the truth; every company, every nation, every political party offer up their own agenda to a public easily persuaded. In this post-truth world what can we believe, if anything? Today’s truths are packaged according to pre-conceived notions, promulgated through the noise machine that passes for public discourse, and sold to the non-discriminating consumer.

At one point, as we moved among the barracks at Auschwitz, I came to this open window. I was struck immediately by the symbolism of that open window, suggesting to me the hope of escape and freedom. I wondered how many lost souls once stood in that spot gazing out of that same window dreaming of an alternative reality; one that placed them beyond the wire and the tower that were clearly visible within its frames. This poem attempts to tell that story. You will immediately recognize my debt to Ambrose Bierce’s Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. It seemed to me the perfect vehicle for telling this story as well. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/10/8/jesus-on-the-bridge monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1539009369339-JKOBTPGI8OQ4AJ8QPQL8/Jesus+on+the+Bridge.jpg poetry - Jesus on the Bridge This photograph was taken on a recent tour of Central Europe. This is the Charles Bridge in Prague which is lined with religious iconography including this crucifixion scene. I lost track of the number of cathedrals and shrines we visited, but they all had one common denominator; great displays of wealth and splendor. I have always been struck by the dichotomy of extreme poverty in the shadows of great wealth. Particularly when that wealth is embodied by the Christian faith; a faith based on humility and the grace of the dispossessed. Go inside any of these cathedrals or walk across the Charles Bridge and you will find the faithful, but also the curious, the lost, the poor. Walk a few blocks in any direction and you will see more of the same. I cannot help but think that some of this wealth could better serve the poor I saw on Charles Bridge. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/9/10/late-summer-by-the-river monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1536609201357-A860R6PF5KQ5HU19N4D4/Late+Summer.jpg poetry - Late Summer by the River https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/8/30/reaching-for-the-light-a-meditation-on-new-life monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1535646770904-WK3A40XBB5NTH03DVJLL/Reaching+for+the+Light.jpg poetry - Reaching for the Light - A Meditation on New Life I became a grandfather in the summer of 15. It was like a second fatherhood; a second chance to get it right (although I do believe I was a pretty good Dad). But being a grandparent is special for the simple reason that you get all of the delights and very few of the fights! We are here to spoil him, as my son and daughter in law often remind us. Still, the joy is overwhelming. Just to watch him play and then grab me by the hand to come join him. "Pop", he says, with his still limited vocabulary, and I am there! With each visit there is something new to discover; a kind of time-lapse evolution unfolds before us. He is taller, his hair is shorter (we wish his parents would let it grow), his memory better than my own, his curiosity; limitless. I carefully observe the earnest innocence of the very young and I wish I could freeze just that in time. You smile and wonder what life has in store for him, and pray that his problems then are as small as he is now. In the spring of 18, my second grandson joined our family. It is his picture you see above. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/8/21/the-wall monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1534874256084-Z5GCTX2OXYXIBDUE75JZ/The+Wall.jpg poetry - The Wall Who can deny the metaphorical power of a wall; from separating borders to symbolizing adversity. They are pervasive in our history and our culture. From the Great Wall of China, to the Berlin Wall, to the very structures in which we live out our compartmentalized lives, to the barriers in our own minds; they permeate our existence. These walls only serve to isolate, imprison and diminish us, but yet we are somehow always willing to build more. The wall in this poem represents that moment in life when a person hits that height of despair and contemplates the most final of all decisions. The images in the poem were inspired by this photograph of a graffiti filled wall in an abandoned factory complex. Writ large in a bold white background, one word stood out! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/8/11/dancing-with-balloons monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1534001408203-E5OS2XX2AH8Y1JQHFZ2T/Balloons-2.jpg poetry - Dancing with Balloons When I took this photograph, I knew I had something special. When I processed it, I thought I had something spiritual. Start with the subject's white dress as she dances between giant hot air balloons as if she is participating in some kind of ritual or ceremony. White, of course, symbolizes purity and innocence. As for the balloons; at some point they will rise into the heavens taking their faithful passengers on a fateful journey. This balloon festival was like a religious experience for the participants. With this in mind, I incorporated a variety of religious allusions into the poem. Consider the purity of the faithful as they ascend into the cloudless blue sky, the redemption of the spirit as it floats in the soft morning light, and the joy that presages the long anticipated journey to another place. I hope you enjoy both the photograph and the poem. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/8/4/come-sit-for-awhile monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1533398345381-X72XIU318LBXJP4RYJ4W/Come+Sit+for+Awhile.jpg poetry - Come Sit for Awhile Come Sit for Awhile - We have lived by a lake for over fourteen years now. In our current home the water is just fifty feet from our back door. There is a certain comfort that comes from lakefront living. There are the obvious recreational activities that it can afford; a swim in the early evening after a hot day, the surprising pleasure of landing a fish in the early morning light, or just floating in a tube with a beer in hand. But those are not the things I find most pleasurable. It's the sights and sounds of the lake I most enjoy; the ever changing patterns of the surface as the wind ripples its way across the cove, the long muted reflections of a glorious sunset, the sound of the geese honking their instructions to all who would listen. Yes, this is why we choose to live by the water. The solace to the senses is a form of meditation that allows us to escape, however briefly, those troubles of the soul. So I say, come join us and sit for awhile and lose yourself in the moment. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/7/15/moon-glow monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1531706393256-LK23Y7HBACFDSA29JRV8/Moon+Glow.jpg poetry - Moon Glow https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/6/27/running-the-payette monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1530107513418-WCSCKOQL2RKVZTICD2WK/35050659_1859194710810220_2513179810943991808_o.jpg poetry - Running the Payette https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/6/26/the-homeless-man-and-the-passerby monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1530056152971-HN3U7E315OL20DMGL51J/Homeless+Man.jpg poetry - The Homeless Man and the Passerby I admire good street photography but I am very cautious when it comes to executing it. Taking candid portraits of people in the street is a delicate matter. Lets face facts; very few people like having their picture taken! Even fewer without their permission. The dilemma, of course, is that the best street photography occurs when the photographer captures his subject unaware. What is the obligation of the photographer: To always ask permission and get a release? To shoot first and ask questions later? Or to operate with a measure of stealth that is, at the very least, a violation of privacy. I have asked permission in the past, but to be honest, most of my street photographs are taken without the subject's knowledge. I try to tell myself that they are in a public place which I have a right to record. However, there is always a level of guilt attached to these stealth photos. I can understand why celebrities hate photographers. Another element is that very often the most compelling photographs capture individuals at a difficult moment in their lives. I do not want to be a voyeur, but I do want the compelling photograph. So I take the risk and take the shot and feel extremely uncomfortable doing it. And yes, from time to time I am confronted. I will try to explain what I am doing and why. Sometimes I walk away with the shot and sometimes I don't. The poem that follows was inspired by a photograph I took in St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. It was the holiday season. This man seemed...tired. Once again, I try to remind myself that photographs like this raise our level of social awareness and just may lead to some collective attempt at mitigating the circumstances of those in need or at the very least, promote a sense of empathy. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/5/21/ewoy3qzttz0ucpsh9gkgipq6px9cmv monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1591370673164-J7GGS5IBLO5MZX82CASP/Normandy-2.jpg poetry - Time's Arrow - A Meditation https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/4/25/alida monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1524671331467-9Q23HDD983C3URXVSBD7/Alida.jpg poetry - Alida When I decided to go down the poet's walk, I purchased a thick used anthology of poetry. I started with the familiar names. I read Yeats, Wordsworth, Frost and Thomas, and Edgar Allen Poe. I was also inspired by a photograph that I shot on a wet, foggy morning. It's a black and white photo of a neat row of tombstones in a churchyard. One name was clearly visible on the center stone: Alida https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/4/8/a-march-wind-blows monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1523202653475-HLNX0JNMH126NL5VBBOS/A+March+Wind+Blows.jpg poetry - A March Wind Blows https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/31/the-steeple-and-the-tree monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1522507992365-ASNCVZIM8UQNH9C8RVGN/Steeple+and+the+Tree.jpg poetry - The Steeple and the Tree This next poem is based on the theme of religion vs. nature; the man made world vs. the natural world. This debate is as old as recorded history. Still, it is a theme that appears often in my poetry. I have a love/hate relationship with religion. I acknowledge the beauty inherent in the stories, the code of ethics that form its foundation, and the power of faith. I abhor its divisiveness and its cult like suppression of free thought and scientific inquiry. On the one hand there is the natural world with its laws which are knowable through the application of reason and empirical study. On the other, there is religious dogma with its blind acceptance of the unknowable and its suppression of reason. Are the two ever compatible? I took a photograph of a church steeple in front of which was a large tree. The contrast struck me immediately. Religion symbolized by the steeple sharing time and place with a tree; a symbol of the natural world. Thus, the inspiration for this villanelle! https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/23/antietam-creek monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1521817679523-9YIYQ6TEQTDTOA8OJVLI/Dunker+Church.jpg poetry - Antietam Creek Dunker Church - Antietam National Battlefield - I have had a fascination with the American Civil War since I was a young boy. I have been to Gettysburg more times than I can remember. My bookshelves at home are stacked with Civil War history. I have been on bus tours, attended seminars and created and taught a high school course on the war. The poem you are about to read pertains to my second favorite battlefield site; Antietam. I am proud to say that I have donated money to the Civil War Preservation Trust (of which I am a member) to help save a portion of this sacred ground from development. My oldest son began his professional career here as a member of the National Park Service. So, like Gettysburg, I have walked this battlefield on many occasions. I believe that Antietam, not Gettysburg, was the turning point of the Civil War. Above all tactical and strategic considerations, the battle changed the meaning of the war. After all, Antietam gave us the Emancipation Proclamation. The battle unfolded in three distinct phases; morning, mid-day and afternoon. Each phase centered around a landmark you can still visit today. The Dunker Church (above) for the morning phase, a sunken lane for the mid-day phase, and finally closing around a bridge that became known to history as Burnside’s Bridge. Lincoln did visit the battlefield shortly after its conclusion. So did Mathew Brady, whose photographs of the unburied dead shocked the nation. The poem Antietam Creek follows the course of the battle including Lincoln’s and Brady’s visit. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/20/after-the-storm monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1521576592617-SRUW9HSWM290M9LIWTFG/After+the+Storm.jpg poetry - After the Storm https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/15/alone-in-five-parts monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1521577336557-O90ZYPTLBTNNV0LT42X2/Alone.jpg poetry - Alone in Five Parts https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/14/the-willow monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1521062680844-I07GADTBZAC0VQ8W6RTJ/The+Willow.jpg poetry - The Willow https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/11/bridge-in-fog monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1520798776841-3TD02KKZMFLNNGXVV6X8/Bridge+in+Mist.jpg poetry - Bridge in Fog I have always been fascinated by dreams. Where do they come from? How do they develop? What meaning, if any, do they contain? Not long ago, I took a photograph of the Rip van Winkle bridge disappearing into a fog bank. It occurred to me that a dream is like that; the mind disappears in the mist and shapes and forms get distorted. A dream is a mirror image of reality on some level. My dreams are populated with people I know and on rare occasions, by creatures from the darkest depths of my id. Sometimes I remember them in great detail. More often only an uneasy feeling remains. I don't know how to interpret my dreams and I'm not sure I really want to learn. There are instances when I can connect a dream to some final thought as I drifted off to sleep. But it is the element of surprise that is more intriguing to me! Where did that come from? As disconcerting as they can sometimes be, I know one thing for sure; if I'm still dreaming I'm still alive, and that's a good thing! Here is my Bridge in Fog in 4 parts: https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/10/late-sunday-afternoon monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1520712324972-C9F9YTNW454F5UWL6EX2/Late+Sunday+Afternoon.jpg poetry - Late Sunday Afternoon It is so sad to see a once vibrant and vital building fall into slow decay. I suppose the same could be said of all of us. Like the things we build, time runs short on us all. The historic waterfront of a nearby village is a testament to the limited life spans of all things made of wood and bone. But as the song suggests, what once was dead can live again, just as the twilight of every late Sunday afternoon is followed by a new week. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/10/be-like-a-tree monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1520710978327-VOMC6DFW35ZTPC42XJHW/Be+Like+A+Tree.jpg poetry - Be Like A Tree https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/blog/2018/3/10/winters-dawn monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1520709501085-4MZPAN93XHZD3F10AGS2/Winter%27s+Dawn.jpg poetry - Winter's Dawn It was Thanksgiving 2014.

Added a texture and bi-color filter in post to create a more compelling image. I have a thing for lone trees. This photo is one of my personal favorites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1552650474806-Q2HH89HBBX2Z86L8WDJQ/Ladders+to+Nowhere.jpg Creative Ladders to Nowhere - Nikon D750, 1/400 @ f/9.0, ISO160, 52mm. Yes, this building does exist! It’s in the city of Hudson in New York State. Call it urban art writ large. I love it! Anyway, it makes for a fun photograph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1557153010252-1AJZIDFBOLUSDU2L90ML/The+Persistence+of+Memory.jpg Creative The Persistence of Memory - Nikon D7100, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 200, 31mm.

Still-life’s certainly do not make up a big part of my portfolio…but I like this one. There is something about the light, the old tools, the texture of the work bench and the narrow depth of field that make this a compelling photograph. It has nostalgia written all over it! This photograph was taken at OPUS40 (an outdoor sculpture garden in Woodstock, NY). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1613853773308-8F6YDND8HQ7Y2U6PYKER/The+Offering-3.jpg Creative The Offering - Nikon D7100, 1/100 @ f/5.6, ISO 1250, 72mm. A bunch of grapes offered up in the palms of her hands. I like the religious allusions in this image. I used a texture in Topaz Impressions and scaled back the opacity to bring out just enough color in the grapes and the hands while still being able to see the texture in both. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1630612226210-9TBOU2X7T4HXLOBAUZ4H/To+What+End.jpg Creative - Make it stand out To What End - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/8.0, ISO 400, 24mm. This is a self portrait of sorts; always in search of my shadow! I considered black and white for this image but after writing the poem of the same title (in the Poetry Section), I chose to solarize the image to create a feeling more in tune with the message of the poem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/2bd7986a-411f-48e0-9ba8-5a854f5553df/Asiatic+Lily.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Asiatic Lily - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/16, ISO320, 80mm. - An enhanced macro image processed to resemble a color pencil drawing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/19c0f6f2-c4c2-4509-86ba-be65b7257461/The+Boathouse.jpg Creative - Make it stand out The Boathouse - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/500 @f/10, Three shot bracket @ Two stop intervals, ISO 400, 19mm. A challenging exposure considering the bright sunshine and deep shadows, but still plenty of detail in both. Look for the local resident through the window on the right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/93156581-8e4f-48f0-b57c-7b13ee15b1c2/Gated+Window.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Gated Window - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/250 @ f /8.0, ISO 125, 29mm. Photographed at the San Xavier del Bar Mission near Tucson, AZ. This is one of four gated windows that I photographed along the exterior wall. I used an urban grit texture in post. I like how the different elements work in this photo, from the various cactus to the shadows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/2e0affe6-5040-4503-a262-b3c8124b7453/The+Music+Room.jpg Creative - Make it stand out The Music Room - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/60 @ f/3.5, ISO 3200, 27mm. One of my favorite shots from a recent trip to Florida. A dark room filled with Victorian furniture and musical instruments, photographed in soft lighting with a touch of glow. The image has a ghostly feel as if some young woman from another age, in a long evening gown was sitting in that chair strumming those long, colorful strings. Can you see her? I wrote a poem about this feeling. It too is called The Music Room and you can read it in the Poetry Section. Photographed at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ed19c2f0-36ce-41fd-b690-f5402a390c5e/Old+Oak.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Old Oak - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f5.6, ISO 400, 35mm. A beautiful late afternoon sun flare, a nostalgic texture and an ancient oak help create this timeless piece. Photographed at the Alamo historic site in San Antonio, Texas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/7d31bef2-017b-4f14-899a-9a2edd257d25/A+Monday+Afternoon+on+the+River+Walk.jpg Creative - Make it stand out A Monday Afternoon on the River Walk - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 1600, 35mm. This is an image styled after the neo-Impressionist painter George Seurat’s use of a technique known as pointillism. It captures light with small points of color that literally create an image that shimmers. With the right pre-set it can easily be replicated in post processing. Seurat’s most famous painting was A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Latte. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/a206b984-9974-40af-b70b-bdade431cfcc/+Ready+to+Launch.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Ready to Launch - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/1000 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 230mm. A long lens and a fast shutter speed captured this bird of prey as he takes flight. I think the shutter speed was fast enough to keep the head and body of the raptor in sharp focus but also slow enough to convey a sense of motion in the wings. Photographed at the Center for Birds of Prey here in Boise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/26a1c705-db51-473c-9ef9-a3be3b3208e4/Print+Night-2.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Our Lady of the Rosary - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/5.6, ISO 400, 23mm. Photographed in Fatima, Portugal. Hand-held image processed with a texture and color enhancement. I wanted this to look like a painting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/71010051-2d7a-4cf2-a561-c1a2bdddf932/Chains.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Chains - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/5.0, ISO 400, 30mm. There are many places here in Idaho (where I live) that offer any visitor an inside look at the curiosities of a forgotten past, the scattered relics that accumulate in an isolated rural environment. It is fascinating and fun to explore and photograph such places. I took some liberties here with the toning to bring out the colors in the chains and the logs. See my poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/aab4599f-aa47-485a-8ddb-025663b99eb0/Saguaro+Sunset.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Saguaro - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/500 @f/8.0, ISO 125, 110mm. A Saguaro Cactus stands as a silhouette in a Sonoran Desert sunset. In my mind, there is nothing quite like it for its beauty and other worldliness. I used a creative painterly effect here and added a translucent border. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/66cf3382-fedf-4aae-8d4d-caaa5f08e1fe/Website-2.jpg Creative - Make it stand out O Human Child - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/60 @ f/5.6, ISO 200, 98mm. When I took this photograph of my grandson playing in a creek on a recent camping trip, I immediately thought of Yeats’ poem, The Stolen Child, thus the title of the photograph. I wanted a dreamy, fantasy look to this image so I used a warm polarizing filter on camera and lots of glow in post. See my poem entitled Innocence Lost in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/9daa30c8-f55f-45e7-8d5a-b677bc253190/Website.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Last of the Many - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/1000 @ f/8, ISO 800, 196mm. In what has become a spring ritual, I captured this image in the high desert of southern Idaho. Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find these beautiful animals. I am told the herd has been relocated to make room for…cattle! I used a painterly effect here to soften the image and increase the emotional impact. This image earned a blue ribbon at the 2024 Western Idaho State Fair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/29db6089-1210-4ac0-9550-e8d4fa276484/Squarespace-2.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Enter the Dragon - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 125, 135mm. As we traveled throughout Vietnam it quickly became obvious that visitors to the many shrines and temples, particularly young women, like to dress in traditional clothing and have their picture taken. I was happy to oblige. I like the dynamic relationship here between the stone dragon and the woman. I used a selective color technique to restrict the orange tones to the woman’s costume and the brick walk while desaturating everything else. What you have is an image half color and half monotone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/3ba8f1f4-3165-49d7-9423-ed07b6b1b2ac/Ballet+Dancers.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Ballet Dancers - Fujifilm XT-5, f/4.6 @ 1/250, ISO 3200, 90mm. - Once again I had the opportunity to photograph a local ballet troupe during their dress rehearsal. Unfortunately for me and my fellow photographers in attendance that night, we had to contend with a brightly lit landscape image projected on a background screen which cast alien like shadows of the dancers as they moved across the stage. You can see my solution to the problem in this photograph. Ballet is about form and the black background accentuates the dancer’s form. I like the negative space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/f07953fb-c315-409b-b45d-e52b34bb62f8/May+Flowers.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Simple Pleasures - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/13, ISO 125, 80mm. An early May Tulip photographed at the Botanical Garden in Boise. I used an 80mm Macro lens along with some color and clarity enhancement. I particularly like the bokeh in this image. Love going to the gardens in spring, it’s a simple pleasure! See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/0c07d618-b164-413e-9692-0d98564b4e02/TVCC+Christmas-19.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Destiny - Fujifilm XT-5 - 1/250 @ f/16, ISO 125, 35mm. A dramatic sky, an active volcano and a lone figure make for a compelling image photographed at Mt. Etna in Sicily. The pic captures some of my favorite themes; man vs. nature, loneliness in a crowded world, the mystery of why we are here. Look for the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/a6aee24b-2f4c-410c-859a-bc1cb0cf87dd/TVCC+Christmas-23.jpg Creative - Make it stand out The Old Homestead - Fujifilm XT-5 - 1/125 @ f/11, ISO 320, 24mm. Abandoned structures often make for compelling photographs. However, instead of simply shooting the entire structure, I focused on this small vignette of the door, what appears to be a curtain in the window, a branch leaning against the building that looks like a walking stick left by the long absent resident, and the new growth creeping up the rotting timbers. What I have here is a very poignant image. Look for the corresponding poem entitled Memory in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/5c11f47a-6163-49d4-9450-113cf68dea8e/Luminous+Aspens+R.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Luminous Aspens - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 320, 56mm. I used some luminosity to bring out the Fall color in the Aspen Trees against the dark green background of the pines. Photographed in the mountains of central Idaho during a deer hunt. Of course, I was armed with just my camera. This image received an Award of Merit from the 4C’s (Columbia Council of Camera Clubs). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/f7c94e1e-99c6-4942-8c4c-283807f3f63a/Soft+Seas.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Soft Seas - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 125, 35mm. Processed with bright tones and soft colors, I added the motion blur in post… and the sailboat as well. See my poem, The White Sail, in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/737b3f57-cd19-4cfb-84b3-607162538157/Air+Show.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Gowen Thunder - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/1000 @f/8.0, ISO 200, 400mm. I had an opportunity to practice my panning skills at a recent airshow. It was a challenge, to say the least! I like this particular photo because of the angle of the plane and the jet wash that conveys a sense of speed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/149eee78-4e88-4f0d-abaa-1fa73272c8d5/Another+World-2.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Another World - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 125, 16mm. I used a bi-color filter in post to generate this “alien” landscape. It reminds me of some of the scenes from the blockbuster movie, The Martian. Although it might look like a Martian base, in reality this is a pic of the observatory at Bruneau State Park in Idaho. I had fun working on this and yes, it did inspire a poem about climate change in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/331b61ba-fd92-44fe-847b-df7fff417613/Elevador+Da+Gloria.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Elevador Da Gloria - Fujifilm XT-5. 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 125, 53mm. This is one of several funiculars that take you up to the Bairro Alto District in Lisbon. Walking the neighborhoods of old Lisbon is a real treat for any street photographer. Old world charm combined with a vibrant urban culture makes a visit to this city a must for any travel photographer. I applied an urban grunge look to this scene in post. I thought it captured the subject matter very effectively. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/b7535bbc-5fa3-446c-ba12-82795a7ee0cc/Ballet.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Ballerinas at Rest - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/2.0, ISO 3200, 56mm. I had the privilege to photograph a dress rehearsal for a local ballet troupe. It was both challenging and beautiful; a fabulous experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ce4d9308-ae39-4139-af64-0be2c98d5294/DSCF1406-Edit-Edit.jpg Creative - Make it stand out High Wire - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/500 @ f/11, ISO 160, 90mm. Powerlines in silhouette. I added the infrared toning in post. The image reminds me of the science fiction classic War of the Worlds. It does give off an apocalyptic vibe. Check out the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. I’m curious to know if you think it fits the image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/dd41c8ed-a164-4fdb-a026-33ab41f03216/Rustic+Ranch-3.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Rustic Ranch - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 250, 53mm. I like the three components in this photograph; the barn, fence, and tree. All three are in a state of weathered decay. I added the texture to advance the feeling of abandonment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/9c4d4d2d-4d84-4526-91f6-b93f7ee632a3/Time+to+Organize.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Time to Organize - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/10, ISO 200, 56mm. This piece of art paying tribute to the IWW (Industrial Workers go the World) sits on top of Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland. I found it both interesting and out of place. My goal then, was to create a kind of surreal image with the clock and the columns as the subject matter but presented with a stark, urban texture with unique color toning. It is a photo worth contemplating. To that end, you can check out my poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1667932189304-VN9KH1HBPE1QCYY8F7RM/Sparrow+in+the+Snow.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Sparrow in the Snow - Nikon D7100, 1/250 @ f/5.6, 400 ISO, 300mm. I added a texture overlay to this image that turns the snow and the pines into an alien world for this little bird. He/She looks cold and sad! See the poem Where did the Birds Go? in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/bc152f4e-58f0-41a3-b5ac-b25ebcd39112/tempImageRmfATE.jpg Creative - Make it stand out On the Beach - iPhone 15 Pro, 1/370 @ f/2.2, ISO 40, 14mm. A rare iPhone photo for my website. Photographed at the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. I used one of my creative apps here as I often do with my iPhone photos. I like the cool tones, the heavy cloud cover and the footprints in the sand. The wide open aperture provides a sense of infinity. There is a poem to go along with this pic. It’s called On the Beach and can be found in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/00311ffd-9190-4b07-8599-55c5e6824e65/In+Repose.jpg Creative - Make it stand out In Repose - Nikon D750 - Bright color and soft toning with a narrow depth of field create an emotional image of this Lotus flower. I find the flower’s “pose” particularly enticing. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/f1803037-b5ce-4ca7-b5f5-952d2f01074a/Classic+Hudson.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Classic Hudson - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/60 @ f/5.0, ISO 6400, 22mm. I had the opportunity to photograph this classic truck at a professional studio. It’s the lighting and the wide angle that make the image. And the fact that the front tire is slightly turned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/c119e378-dca4-44a0-a247-3ddeba93e657/Siberian+Iris.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Siberian Iris - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/11, ISO 125, 80mm. Always one of my favorite flowers to photograph. I love the colors in this macro shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/c06dc7a8-06ec-4419-995c-f48e79e30c76/The+Portal.jpg Creative - Make it stand out The Portal - Fujifilm X-T5, 125 @ f/9.0, ISO 320, 27mm. I like the mystery each of the elements of this photograph help create; the footprints in the sand, the piece of wood that seems so out of place and of course, the figure making his way through the arch (“portal”). Photographed at Arches National Park. No surprise, the figure in the long black robe is generated by photoshop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/669813fe-8e95-4e02-8d1e-b9f3250c5944/The+Last+of+Us.jpg Creative - Make it stand out The Last of Us - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 400, 52mm. Inspired by the recent hit TV series of the same title, so yes, the image is designed to be a little creepy. See the poem also of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/57d51b07-df6a-401f-9259-936bd5ce2a4f/The+Workshop.jpg Creative - Make it stand out The Workshop - Nikon D750 - A difficult interior shot of an active wood working shop. Busy subject matter but I think the image captures the essence of the place. You can almost smell the sawdust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1654365168063-6M3UAUB07KA20W80PUEC/Electric+Buick.jpg Creative - Make it stand out Electric Buick - Fujifilm X100T, 1/250 @ f /9.0, ISO 200, 23mm.

An older image with a new look! Added some texture and played with the temp and tint. Added some color pop to the leaves. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1603583315018-VEJEZA2JSP2TOZ4CEQP4/Angel+Wings.jpg Creative Angel Wings - Nikon D750, 1/500 @ f/5.6, ISO 6400, 58mm. This was a difficult handheld shot inside the cathedral of Sacre-Coeur in Paris. For me, the arches symbolize the wings of the angel seen in the center. The dappled sunlight and a fine texture add to the mood of the image. One of my personal favorites. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1592246148164-37GPZXYXOVRL47TUJ0WN/The+Color+Purple.jpg Creative The Color Purple - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO 400, 80mm. Flowers are the subjects of the day for a travel photographer who can’t travel due to the pandemic. I like the soft light and color in this shot of a Baptisia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1592412723632-E2G2AD7J3C32BRXQWEW8/Ethereal.jpg Creative Ethereal - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/60 @ f/11, ISO 160, 120mm. Another flower shot with my 80mm macro lens. I went with a very soft toning to complement the morning light and the white petals. I added the texture with Topaz Impressions. See my poem “Under Her Pillow” in the poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1591035898463-1A4VTDS31UQU8OXLV49Z/White+Iris+with+Texture-4.jpg Creative White Iris With Texture - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 160, 80mm. It’s that time of year again; the Iris are in bloom. It remains my favorite flower to photograph! This was shot with an 80mm macro lens mounted on a tripod. It was processed in Photoshop with a texture blend and a lot of opacity adjustments, history brushing and cloning. I added a bit of structure and glow in Topaz and finished with some light diffusion in Color Efex. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1589323996624-8GZ7R1HE98YFJ9PJZUTF/Yellow+Iris.jpg Creative Soft Rain - Nikon D750, 1/640 @ f/5.0, ISO 200, 155mm. A blooming Yellow Iris shot on a cloudy, rainy spring day in 2017. It is now the spring of 2020 and this image takes on a whole new meaning for me.

This photo is one of my personal favorites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1552650474806-Q2HH89HBBX2Z86L8WDJQ/Ladders+to+Nowhere.jpg Creative Ladders to Nowhere - Nikon D750, 1/400 @ f/9.0, ISO160, 52mm. Yes, this building does exist! It’s in the city of Hudson in New York State. Call it urban art writ large. I love it! Anyway, it makes for a fun photograph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1557153010252-1AJZIDFBOLUSDU2L90ML/The+Persistence+of+Memory.jpg Creative The Persistence of Memory - Nikon D7100, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 200, 31mm.

Still-life’s certainly do not make up a big part of my portfolio…but I like this one. There is something about the light, the old tools, the texture of the work bench and the narrow depth of field that make this a compelling photograph. It has nostalgia written all over it! This photograph was taken at OPUS40 (an outdoor sculpture garden in Woodstock, NY). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1613853773308-8F6YDND8HQ7Y2U6PYKER/The+Offering-3.jpg Creative The Offering - Nikon D7100, 1/100 @ f/5.6, ISO 1250, 72mm. A bunch of grapes offered up in the palms of her hands. I like the religious allusions in this image. I used a texture in Topaz Impressions and scaled back the opacity to bring out just enough color in the grapes and the hands while still being able to see the texture in both. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1630612226210-9TBOU2X7T4HXLOBAUZ4H/To+What+End.jpg Creative - Make it stand out To What End - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/8.0, ISO 400, 24mm. This is a self portrait of sorts; always in search of my shadow! I considered black and white for this image but after writing the poem of the same title (in the Poetry Section), I chose to solarize the image to create a feeling more in tune with the message of the poem. https://jamesmolloyphotography.com/black-white daily 0.75 2018-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/47696a4e-d951-4034-83f6-e659f87611d1/Driving+That+Train.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out Driving That Train - Nikon D750, 1/320 @ f/8.0, ISO 200, 120 mm. Any fans of the Grateful Dead out there? I’m sure you can add a few lines to my title. Photographed at SteamTown, PA. This was taken several years ago but I recently changed it to a monotone and cropped in to create a vertical. After submitting this in a competition as a black and white, I was told that my decision to “warm” the light on the locomotive makes this a color image. I’m not sure I agree! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/e7a0036e-543a-4626-a9a7-ce7e8e3d961c/Nara+Park2.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out Nara Park - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/7.1, ISO 1000, 83mm. - At this park in Japan the deer are considered sacred. They are protected by law. You can even feed them! Needless to say, they are everywhere, offering unlimited photo opportunities. I added texture and grain to this monotone to bring out the gritty look of the stonework and lightened the center around the deer’s head. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/693b6b18-c9e7-45b2-8aed-755c5cae2c00/The+Stage.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out The Stage - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/8, ISO 400, 27mm. The Hakonezono Stage on Lake Ashi in Japan. A mysterious stage to nowhere, a strange cone sculpture and an abundance of clouds help create this dramatic image. The visitors are an added plus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ea290999-a9cd-4dca-852e-38e02e6baeed/Heart+of+Darkness.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out Heart of Darkness - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/5.6, ISO 1600, 135mm. I was reminded of Conrad’s novel as we made our way through the mangroves in search of the elusive Kurtz. I used an antique toning to help make the point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/31993d26-d6d0-4486-8bd9-527b65e857a0/Print+Night.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out The Plein Air Painter - Nikon D7100, 1/250 @ f/8.0, ISO 200, 125mm. A soft focus, a dark vignette and some glamour glow was used to create this vintage monotone. I wrote a poem with the same title to go along with this photo. Check it out in the poetry section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/3f7e15de-0b9a-4ecb-aed5-67ac10accb16/B%26W.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out The 903 - Nikon D750 - Processed in Silver Efex Pro and Topaz Impressions.

Mont Sainte Victoire, a subject favored by the artist Cezanne, is just to the left of the frame. Thus, the title for the image. Could this be the place where he once sat to paint his famous landscapes? I used an antique tone and border to enhance the 19th century feel to the image. See the poem Just Old Men Now in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/dce843fe-23a5-4751-adca-a494711be6fd/No+Justice%2C+No+Peace+copy.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out A Clear Choice - Fujifilm X100T, 1/160 @ f/8.0, ISO 320, 23mm. I took this photograph at a political rally several years ago and recently converted it to a high contrast black and white. I usually don’t get political with my photography but this is an election year that will define us as a people for generations. We are at a crossroads. The nation faces an existential threat from a populist/fascist movement. I pray we make the right decision. See my poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/606bbb27-3c2e-4939-89a1-1657864dcc89/JamesMolloy_AS_BCC_SheSweeps+the+Steps_M.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out She Sweeps the Steps - Fujifilm XT-100 - Photographed in Prague several years ago, I recently resurrected this image, changed it to a monotone with a classic film look, gave it a rough three dimensional border and did quite a bit of dodging on the architecture. Nice story telling potential here. You can see the results of her labor at the foot of the steps. Hard to classify this image: Street, Environmental Portrait, Monochrome, Travel, take your pick! I created my own backstory from this image. Check out the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/98f455f8-f675-4a61-8b91-928c5630ccc5/Alfama+Street+Scene-2.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out Alfama Street - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 400, 35mm. Captured this scene while wandering the narrow pedestrian streets of the Alfama District in the city of Lisbon. A delight for street photographers! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1663017365541-HGZTP3554NCHBKWXLA1X/Birds+of+Prey-6.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out Verreaux’s Eagle Owl in B&W - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/4000 @ f/4.0, ISO 160, 159mm. I had an opportunity to photograph some raptors at the World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, ID. This owl is very dark with little color photographed against an empty blue sky so I decided to go with an overexposed mono against a white sky. I think it highlights the texture of the feathers and the extensive tonal range. I did manage to capture this guy in flight also. I’ll save it for another time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1660236469041-P7VBNFWMH8OB8C173OYP/High+Desert+Road.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out High Desert Road - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 35mm. Some high contrast toning, a red filter, and a winding road make for a very compelling black and white desert landscape image. Roads like this are everywhere on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land in southern Idaho. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1652198360067-DUIA7HJM9EW3NQWYD3OH/Enchanted+Rock.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out Enchanted Rock - Fujifilm XT3, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 16mm. We hiked up to the summit of this barren rock in Texas hill country and witnessed this dramatic scene. It was Good Friday. A group of the faithful had gathered to sing and pray at the foot of three small crosses. Looking up against a cloudy sky, I knew I had a compelling silhouette shot with tremendous story telling impact. A wide angle lens and the black and white toning adds to the drama. This photo won 1st prize at the Western Idaho State Fair. See my poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1636228284230-IV99QI6Y4MF3E13NCRS2/Metropolis.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out Metropolis - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 53mm. Like some kind of dystopian view of the future, this image of the Seattle waterfront architecture really pops with a high contrast toning and a red filter added in post. It has all the elements of the modern urban landscape; commercial, industrial, residential! This photograph also took a 1st place in the Western Idaho State Fair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1633295912956-UTRAP0J6HSNL0P0475GU/Zion.jpg Black & White - Make it stand out Zion - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f / 8.0, ISO 200, 24mm. An early morning shot from the Kayenta Trail in Zion National Park. I was trying to channel some of my inner Ansel Adams here. The one canyon wall in shadow and the other receiving the sun, seemed to call for a high contrast, high structure toning. You can just make out the North Fork of the Virgin River as it winds its way through the valley floor. We were just high enough along the trail to get this wonderful perspective of the canyon opening before us. Oh, by the way, this shot also won a blue ribbon at the fair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1576510002915-19JLUEYMF23LN8AS7JM6/Red+Wings.jpg Black & White Red Wings - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/125 @ f/4.0, ISO 400, 80mm Macro. This is another shot from the Butterfly Garden in Ecuador. After processing the color image, which I liked a great deal, I decided to highlight the bold red color of the wings by converting the image to black and white and using a selective color technique to preserve just the red. I like the results!

Sky effect with motion blur filter in Photoshop. A fortified town built along the historic trade routes in central Morocco. We hiked to the top and walked around the citadel you see in the image. We had a grandstand view of the approaching storm! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1570884402234-EAC637BKAKVI2W992CDT/Ghosts+of+the+Interim.jpg Black & White Ghosts of the Interim - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/16, ISO 200, 84mm. After converting this photograph to black and white, I processed the image in Topaz Impressions 2 by backing down the Georgia O’keefe preset just enough to give it a slight painterly look with deep shadows. I also brought out the highlights along the hull and the pilothouse. You can make out the name of the ship (Interim) on the bow although three of the letters are missing. It wasn’t until I processed the image that I noticed the reflection of some bystanders in the pilothouse window. Thus, the title of the photograph! This was shot in Hoonah, Alaska.

This a shot of the Vancouver skyline as our cruise ship pulled away from the port facility in the center foreground. I used a wide-angle lens with a polarizer and I was rewarded with a fabulous sky! I added the star effect in post. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1564854909962-VJHXIFZL6M0BRN5FNX7C/Gettysburg.jpg Black & White Gettysburg Dream - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 56mm. An early morning shot of the McPherson Barn on the 1st day’s battlefield at Gettysburg. The light and shadow called for a black and white toning. The cannon, fence and barn make for a strong composition. This pic is one of my favorites from a recent visit. I have been to Gettysburg more times than I can remember and I encourage all to visit. It is truly “a vision place of souls.” See the poem by the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1527026825523-0WFPT5UQ6TLJA1KE1EC5/Ghost+Train.jpg Black & White Ghost Train - D750, ISO 400, Converted to black and white in Nix Silver Efex Pro, Processed in Topaz Impressions 2 - This photo was shot at Steamtown in Pennsylvania. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1523112958989-ML0UVQEVJGLXZ1HC0O4N/Lighthouse.jpg Black & White Lighthouse on the Hudson - Nikon D750, 1/800 @ f/10, ISO 200, 120mm - Converted to black and white in Silver Efex Pro.

One of the most foreboding structures I have ever visited. Thus, my decision to portray it in black and white with sharp contrast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1522413238655-BOB1PPXIH1Y7D4HZN4MY/Down+by+the+River.re.jpg Black & White Down by the River - Nikon D750 , 1/250 @ f/8, -2EV, ISO 100, 24mm - A local shot of the Athens waterfront on a foggy morning along the Hudson River.

Shot from a rooftop in Greenwich Village, the juxtaposition of the old water tower with One World Trade Center was striking to say the least. Iconic New York!

A prison laundry facility turned museum. Shot at the Old Idaho State Penitentiary.

The home of Frederic Church, one of the foremost painters of the Hudson River School. I have shot here many times but this is the first black and white that works for me. Nice puffy clouds and an unobstructed view from a lower elevation, adds to the majesty of the home. I added a red filter in post to increase the contrast between the clouds and the sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1579453784015-M5VXXPGNDAQF7JG6OIFR/Clouds+in+the+Corn.jpg Black & White Clouds in the Corn - Nikon D750, 1/800 @ f/9.0, ISO 200, 48mm.

I came across this scene while exploring the narrow pedestrian streets of the Alfama District in the city of Lisbon. It was mid-morning and the sun was creating a plethora of interesting shadows. I thought this shadow of a tree (a palm) beside the church door had great story-telling potential. The decision to go black and white was an easy one for this image which is all about contrast. As I look back on the experience I don’t recall seeing the actual tree.

We had the good fortune to attend a traditional dance performance during our visit to Cambodia. Slow, delicate movement, good lighting, a fast lens and a front row seat helped create some spectacular images. It was fabulous…and beautiful! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1568902905135-5X1E9XMHHUFZDCMFS3X8/Margerie+Glacier.jpg Travel Margerie Glacier - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/125 @ f/9.0, ISO 160, 56mm. This is an early morning shot taken from the deck of a cruise ship in Glacier Bay, Alaska. Needless to say, it was a spectacular sight! The blue tones are real. What you don’t really get from the image is a sense of scale. This block of ice is a mile wide. You can just barely make out seals on the ice floes in the foreground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1568903451918-NGE2TNUJFPI7T1WT30X2/Mendenhall+Glacier.jpg Travel Mendenhall Glacier - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/500 @ f/11, ISO 160, 16mm. A short hike from the Visitor’s Center brings you to this location along Mendenhall Lake. You can see the glacier in the distance. What you don’t see in this image is Nugget Falls just off to the right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1561647137940-SJ8P5LFLQLL98930BF9F/Colors+of+Venice.jpg Travel Venice Impression - Nikon D7100, 1/50 @ f/11, ISO 100, 58mm.

I took this photograph at dawn before the crowds of tourists arrived. Only a few pigeons and a couple of rats to keep me company. It was quiet and beautiful. I recently sold a copy at a local gallery. The diffused color of the image was generated in Topaz Impressions 2. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1543607342325-5P9FQRE1036P7R4J1KHQ/Dimming+of+the+Day.jpg Travel Dimming of the Day - Fujifilm X100T, 1/125 @ f/3.6, ISO400, 23mm. As photographers, we are always looking for that special light. I found it one early spring evening in a small Ohio farmhouse that belonged to one of my sons. This is the breeze-way just minutes before the sun set behind the hills. It’s a poignant shot for me because my son and his family have since moved out west. After visiting this home for six years we will never see it again. But I have this photograph and many others to keep the memories alive. On a bright note, the rocking chair did make the trip. Oh, and I borrowed the title from a Bonnie Raitt song. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1552650024498-F9US3LQL580AEXGM7HUC/The+Photographers.jpg Travel The Photographers - Nikon D7100, 1/640 @ f/8.0, ISO250, 80mm.

This building sits along the river and is part of the government complex. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1564855536617-CWRTBC6888G8367C5NQQ/Sunset+Over+Gettysburg.jpg Travel Sunset at Gettysburg - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/30 @ f/11, ISO 160, 16mm. A tripod mounted photograph shot shortly after sunset. The location is the famous Angle on Cemetery Ridge where the Confederate charge (Pickett’s Charge) was repulsed on the 3rd day of the battle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1573002442158-C8XC5MCVKYHRBSQ3JNKB/Riverboat+Discovery.jpg Travel Riverboat Discovery - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 200, 53mm. We took a riverboat tour near Fairbanks, Alaska that was something of a tourist cliche but it offered up this soft, charming photograph of the riverfront with late afternoon light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/e03571c4-50d9-4418-ac63-2af6b8ab6972/Alhambra+Pool-3.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Alhambra Pool - Nikon D750, 1/25 @ f/4.0, ISO 800, 44mm. Photographing the interior of the Alhambra at night was one of my most rewarding experiences as a travel photographer. I enjoy the symmetry, reflection, architecture, glow and of course, the history this image captures. See my poem, Light and Shadow at the Alhambra, in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1a0013d4-22a0-422a-848b-2b9ce1a857f0/Floating+Gate.jpg Travel - Make it stand out The Floating Gate - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/10, ISO 160, 79mm - An image of the iconic floating gate at the Itsukushima Shrine in Japan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/061eb033-c3b8-486d-8b80-c1eabdbdd8a8/Castle+by+the+River2.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Castle by the River - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 400, 66mm. - An early evening shot of the Kilkenny Castle along the River Nore in Ireland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/8acbe7dd-288d-43dc-b6f8-81a15d3a7379/Jameson+%26+Son.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Jameson & Son - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 125, 27mm. This old Jameson distillery near Cork, Ireland now operates as a museum. The photograph conveys a strong sense of nostalgia. I love the texture in the building facade, the symmetry of the image and the red and blue colors. The vintage truck is a perfect complement and well positioned. I brightened the center, added vibrance and structure, and did some strategic cropping. This image won a blue ribbon at the Western Idaho State Fair and received a Judge’s Choice Award as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/a62a07c5-a46f-4a24-8f07-bb519a0be508/Vizcaya2.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Vizcaya - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/160 @ f /5.6, ISO 800, 40mm. Photographed on the grounds of the Vizcaya Home and Gardens outside of Miami. I used a soft polarizing filter on camera and processed the final image with painterly preset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/78a26ee1-f6f2-4565-9099-c795690c15a7/Squarespace-3.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Halong Bay - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 125, 18mm. We had to travel a long way to get here, but a visit to Vietnam’s Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is worth the trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ffe72e8e-b22b-4d7b-9107-77ecf03b6b5d/Halong+Bay.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Daybreak at Halong Bay - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/9.0, ISO 160, 18mm. We were fortunate that the the weather cooperated long enough to take an early morning cruise into Halong Bay. There was just enough sunlight breaking through the heavy mist to give the islands a shrouded mysterious look. I used a warm polarizing filter here. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must for your travel bucket list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/01b530e3-c396-478d-8619-91940d6ca17f/TVCC+Christmas-18.jpg Travel - Make it stand out The Sun Lady - Fujifilm XT-5 - 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 125, 35mm. Photographed in Taormina, Sicily. I like the composition here, the young woman making her way through the frame with her backpack and phone, and a pigeon for company, juxtaposed with some old world architecture in the background. Interesting people everywhere! What a great place for some street photography. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ca55feb0-3d40-4d95-a115-005acda2458f/Surf%27s+Up.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Surf’s Up at Nazare - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 125, 56mm. A high vantage point overlooking the beach at Nazare, Portugal provides a breathtaking perspective for some of the highest waves in the world. I did not see anyone surfing, though. It is February after all. Look for the two people along the left border for scale. This image earned a Blue Ribbon at the Western Idaho State Fair 2023. There is a poem in the Poetry Section called On the Beach that corresponds with this image on many levels. Check it out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ed44f42f-7edc-4eab-9975-c8763cebc9ec/Idaho+Falls-2.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Idaho Falls - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ F /11, ISO 125, 56mm. An elaborate system of waterfalls mark the Snake River’s passage through the city of Idaho Falls, Idaho. A Mormon Temple can be seen in the right background and reflected in the river. Used some warm tones in post on this early evening image. The photograph earned a 1st Place Blue Ribbon in the Western Idaho State Fair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1666127733376-558XV8ED6T9HSS82IR5J/Scotland-6.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Eilean Donan Castle - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 400, 24mm. I took this shot on a recent tour of Scotland. I had to hold my umbrella with my left hand and the camera with my right. The rain and the mist create a wonderful atmosphere for the pic of this historic castle but it’s the two people on the walk that make the photograph. This image also took first place at the Western Idaho State Fair in the Pictorial category. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1666981697459-9741B6BWJTME6DGFDSZ1/Scotland+4-5.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Christina - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/125 @ f/11, ISO 160, 135mm. I photographed this fishing boat on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The setting sun illuminated the wheelhouse so I decided to soften the light with some pastel colors. The raft in the foreground was a bonus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1654442577172-1ISSFT5IJ79SOAYPVO4O/The+Red+City.jpg Travel - Make it stand out The Red City - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/500 @ f/11, ISO 160, 53mm. I photographed this casbah entrance and courtyard in Marrakesh from a second story balcony. I like several of the elements in this image: the edges between light and shadow, a man and a cat walking through the entrance, the men in shadows on the far left, the bird nesting in the minaret in the center background. Combined with the architecture, they present an effective feel for the local culture. Also, you can easily understand why Marrakesh is called the Red City. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1609095034044-L68FCMHL54Z06DPIYSD2/Sainte-Chapelle.jpg Travel Sainte-Chapelle - Nikon D750, 1/40 @ f/8.0, ISO 6400, 24mm. Notre-Dame gets all the attention, but this cathedral, which is close by, deserves a visit just to view the elaborate stained glass windows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1609094216616-DJ2XH5P3TMM8LTCJEWL9/Basillica.jpg Travel Basilica di San Vitale - Nikon D7100, 1/60 @ f/3.5, ISO 1600, 24 mm. This 6th century church in Ravenna, Italy is one of the most beautiful that I have encountered on my travels. Thousands of mosaic tiles adorn the interior of the dome in a spectacular display of color and religious iconography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1595615231143-CPPZ2CCOUTIJ2STSUTKD/Comet+Watch.jpg Travel Comet Watch - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f / 5.6, ISO 800, 90mm. We drove about 30 miles out into the desert south of Boise to avoid the light pollution and get a good view of the comet NEOWISE. We saw it, and I photographed it along with the Milky Way. However, this was my favorite shot of the night; my sons in silhouette against the backdrop of a beautiful desert sunset. See the poem, The Comet, in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1587075220061-6ERUBHJIFCXD77QV1MDK/Alone+in+the+Desert+2.jpg Travel Alone in the Desert 2 - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO 80, 35mm. This is my favorite photograph from the desert shoot. The Morocco sky is the bluest I’ve ever seen but unfortunately, from a photographer’s point of view, very few clouds! I added these to a beautiful but empty sky. Of course, the lone figure, the footprints and the shadows provide the impact. There is a poem called Alone in the Desert in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1586370185905-550IZ2SJFW6TXIJBN2BW/Street+Vendors+of+Essaouira.jpg Travel Street Vendors of Essaouira - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 56mm, texture added with Topaz Glow 2. We were only here for one day but we had the opportunity to wander the market streets down by the harbor. An endless variety of items were for sale and we did purchase a few things, but it was the stroll along these narrow, historic and cultural streets that I found inspirational. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1585159225849-6TZ4OWSE4B032KOZ0LCU/Mosque+of+Hassan+II.jpg Travel Mosque of Hassan II - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/500 @ f/10, ISO 160, 35mm. This mosque, one of the largest in the world, is located in Casablanca. What you don’t see here in this shot of the courtyard area, is the towering minaret. I chose to post this image because I like the contrast between light and shadow and the presence of the lone figure. This is a huge complex and it’s impossible to capture the beauty and the scope of the architecture in a single photograph. I could have spent the entire day and night here taking pictures but unfortunately, our visit was much too brief. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1585351222486-WZDW6IFN3CC30A8I7SWN/Alone+in+the+Desert.jpg Travel Alone in the Desert - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO 80. 35mm. Sahara Desert in southeastern Morocco. No, we are not really alone. This gentleman was one of our guides who wandered off to check his phone. See my poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1575758888239-LRJEWA8OWYNZECJ4BE2A/A+Stillness+at+Glacier+Bay+-+Revised.jpg Travel A Stillness at Glacier Bay - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 56mm. This is an early morning shot of the still waters of upper Glacier Bay in Alaska. The glacier that you see in the distance is the Margerie Glacier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1583418609696-XB11V0Q95UN0EFQWM7KV/The+Setting+Sun.jpg Travel The Setting Sun - Fujifilm X100T 1/60 @ f5.6, ISO 250, 23mm. I shot this photograph along the Vistula River in Krakow, Poland. Aside from the color and reflections in the river, I enjoy the silhouettes of the people I captured in the scene and the small single cross on the far side. See my poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1603558493860-TAAJTR5VXYP45OTJ7165/Sunrise+at+Angkor+Wat.jpg Travel Sunrise at Angkor Wat - Fujifilm XT-3 Three shot bracket, 1/30 @ f/9.0, ISO 160, 56mm, Tripod mounted. A must for any travel photographer’s bucket list. We arrived in the dark only to find several hundred other enthusiasts looking for a good vantage point, but as the sky began to brighten, the majesty of the temples silhouetted against the dramatic colors did not disappoint and we were all inspired by the awesome view! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1616544263076-CGZCQB348QHYC5E5LXVM/Central+Park-2.jpg Travel Central Park - Fujifilm X100T, 1/500 @ f/11, ISO 200, 23mm. I took this shot on a cold afternoon in early March. The color version was nice enough, but I was thinking in terms of an Alfred Stieglitz style monotone from the early 20th century when I converted this to an antique toned image in Silver Efex Pro. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1647458312137-EYK0NQ0FVA3EAJUU1HQB/Cemetery+Hill.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Cemetery Hill - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/13, ISO 200, 16mm. I wanted this image from the Gettysburg battlefield to look like a Matthew Brady or Alexander Gardner photograph. Both men photographed the battlefield before all the dead were buried. This portion of Cemetery Hill was a key position in the Union line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/cf19220f-7e29-41c1-8c8a-1beac78afa74/Wild+Horses-2.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Wild Horses - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/2000 @ f/11, ISO3200, 211mm. I took this shot with a 100-400mm mounted on a tripod. I did not want to compromise depth of field or movement so I went with a higher ISO. Thank you, Topaz DeNoise AI. This is not a landscape and I don’t have a nature category on this site so I stuck this image in the Travel Section. You have to come to southwest Idaho to see these wild horses. It was a cold April morning but a really fun shoot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/f6df7158-d9b5-4b3a-94e7-98c1dfd7d720/Lights+Before+the+Cross-2.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Lights Before the Cross - Fujifilm XT-5. 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 200, 56mm. Follow the lights to the cross; an image filled with symbolism, light and shadow! I took this photograph at the Sanctuary of Fatima in Portugal. I added the sky and turned on the lights in Photoshop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/2b6215d5-d28b-4b86-8776-094213eddbea/Loch+Shiel.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Loch Shiel - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/125 @ f/11, ISO 200, 35mm. The memorial in the foreground is a tribute to those Highlanders who died fighting for the Jacobite cause in the 1740’s. You have a beautiful lake framed by mountains on both sides under that dramatic Scottish sky! Turn and look in the other direction and you can see the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct. A beautiful spot, to say the least! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/0ce94ef4-8e47-4976-8d54-7abb8247bfc1/To+Contemplate+the+Sea.jpg Travel - Make it stand out To Contemplate the Sea - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/5.6, ISO 400, 80mm. Clouds lit by a setting sun hang over the rolling surf along the Cape Hatteras beach as a young man contemplates the beauty of the moment. I just had to write about it! See my poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/d9dc1c01-16da-4747-9343-84c1d435335a/Hindu+Temple.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Swaminarayan Akshardham - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/11, ISO 125, 27mm. You might think we were in India, given the subject matter here, but you would be mistaken. This Hindu Temple, which is still unfinished, is the largest in the United States. It recently opened in Robbinsville, New Jersey. Very impressive! I placed the subject directly in the center to align with the fountain and the temple. I used some dodging to bring out the highlights in the statue and architecture and added some structure and clarity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/8d5d29b7-50e0-4988-976b-aa68801d1c5d/Man+%26+His+Goat.jpg Travel - Make it stand out A Man and His Goat - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/6.4, ISO 200, 53mm. I met this individual on the slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily. He was selling the trinkets you see in the baskets. What makes this environmental portrait particularly interesting is that his companion is a goat, not a dog. I considered a black and white finish because of the lava rock background but I decided to go with muted colors, largely because of the scarf. I see much sadness in his expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/05c2f36e-058a-4b07-9ca3-741fb7123350/The+Dock.jpg Travel - Make it stand out The Dock - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/5.3, ISO 125, 75mm. While visiting Vietnam we took a number of excursions by boat that gave us a powerful insight into the vibrant culture of Vietnamese river life. This is such a typical scene; powerful, poignant and busy. There was a smokey haze from a nearby brush fire so I just added some additional texture to make it an important part of the image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/c3091dbe-2b52-4041-a799-63803956a26b/Mt.+Etna.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Mt. Etna - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/11, ISO 125, 53mm. On the slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily (before the recent eruption). If you study this photograph you will notice three distinct triangles of equal size in alternating directions. The lighting and subject matter are different in each. I think it makes for an interesting landscape composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/9630be55-5fe6-4ffc-9606-156df15b660b/Squarespace-4.jpg Travel - Make it stand out Prayer by the Lake - Fujifilm X-T5 - See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/51f24883-a25d-41c7-b7c3-9f13085d4dec/The+Way+of+the+Tea.jpg Travel - Make it stand out The Way of the Tea - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/2.0, ISO 160, 35mm. Nothing is more symbolic of the tradition and formality of Japanese culture than the tea ceremony. A beautiful thing to witness and participate in. Plus, I was fortunate to receive permission to photograph it. I also felt compelled to write about it. See my poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1573083058899-A4WNNB7Z4Z0K2KBMRH2M/Apsara+Dancer.jpg Travel The Apsara Dancer - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/125 @ f/4.0, ISO 1600, 53mm. We had the good fortune to attend a traditional dance performance during our visit to Cambodia. Slow, delicate movement, good lighting, a fast lens and a front row seat helped create some spectacular images. It was fabulous…and beautiful! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1568902905135-5X1E9XMHHUFZDCMFS3X8/Margerie+Glacier.jpg Travel Margerie Glacier - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/125 @ f/9.0, ISO 160, 56mm. This is an early morning shot taken from the deck of a cruise ship in Glacier Bay, Alaska. Needless to say, it was a spectacular sight! The blue tones are real. What you don’t really get from the image is a sense of scale. This block of ice is a mile wide. You can just barely make out seals on the ice floes in the foreground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1568903451918-NGE2TNUJFPI7T1WT30X2/Mendenhall+Glacier.jpg Travel Mendenhall Glacier - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/500 @ f/11, ISO 160, 16mm. A short hike from the Visitor’s Center brings you to this location along Mendenhall Lake. You can see the glacier in the distance. What you don’t see in this image is Nugget Falls just off to the right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1561647137940-SJ8P5LFLQLL98930BF9F/Colors+of+Venice.jpg Travel Venice Impression - Nikon D7100, 1/50 @ f/11, ISO 100, 58mm. Processed in Lightroom, Color Efex Pro and Topaz Impressions 2. There is no greater city to photograph! This one hangs in my home! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1551709839865-13IQPCS8HJ4OWOCI78AI/Mariposario.jpg Travel Mariposario - Fujifim X-T3, 1/125 @ f/5.6, ISO 800, 80mm. Shot this at a butterfly garden in Mindo, Ecuador. With hundreds of butterflies fluttering throughout this enclosed space, it was difficult to choose where to start shooting. It was magical! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1551131833099-5QCQZ5A3CD1YG1CSA1JJ/Butterfly+with+Orchids.jpg Travel Butterfly with Orchids - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/125 @ f/4.0, ISO 400, 80mm macro.

I took this photograph at dawn before the crowds of tourists arrived. Only a few pigeons and a couple of rats to keep me company. It was quiet and beautiful. I recently sold a copy at a local gallery. The diffused color of the image was generated in Topaz Impressions 2. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1543607342325-5P9FQRE1036P7R4J1KHQ/Dimming+of+the+Day.jpg Travel Dimming of the Day - Fujifilm X100T, 1/125 @ f/3.6, ISO400, 23mm. As photographers, we are always looking for that special light. I found it one early spring evening in a small Ohio farmhouse that belonged to one of my sons. This is the breeze-way just minutes before the sun set behind the hills. It’s a poignant shot for me because my son and his family have since moved out west. After visiting this home for six years we will never see it again. But I have this photograph and many others to keep the memories alive. On a bright note, the rocking chair did make the trip. Oh, and I borrowed the title from a Bonnie Raitt song. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1552650024498-F9US3LQL580AEXGM7HUC/The+Photographers.jpg Travel The Photographers - Nikon D7100, 1/640 @ f/8.0, ISO250, 80mm. This was shot from the grounds of Olana overlooking the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains. Although we were there to shoot the sunset, I was intent on capturing my fellow photographers at work and in silhouette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1555506269830-RAPTQ9YCZ63J85RWK898/Tree+by+the+Sea.jpg Travel Notre Dame - Nikon D750, 1/200 @ f/13, ISO100, 35mm.

I photographed this Alaskan landscape just outside Denali National Park. It was a memorable experience for me because we were on a jeep excursion at the time, winding our way through this valley on a narrow dirt road. Driving a jeep and taking pictures; my idea of a good time! It was late in the day so the light coming off the mountains was just right. By the way, we did spot a moose in that tall grass on the other side of the river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1551710197024-KRM8LF3EB2LYQEUF3GGK/Pailon+del+Diablo.jpg Landscapes Pailon del Diablo - Fujifim X-T3, 1/125 @ f/11, ISO 400, 16mm. The Devil’s Cauldron! This waterfall is just outside Banos, Ecuador. We were making our way up the trail to the top of the waterfall (you can only see a small portion here) when I spotted this vantage point. The forest canopy was open just enough to offer this fabulous view of the falls. You can actually go behind the waterfalls “Last of the Mohicans” style. It was raining hard that day so I was caught between my desire to get the shot in a photo rich environment and protecting my equipment. I took some risks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1522415287821-QKYYSY4EZ92L4ZBK286F/Cabin+in+the+Smokies+R.jpg Landscapes Cabin in the Smokies - Nikon D7100 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1522415339031-72ZMM0GYIE383Y08UPK3/Montgomery+Place+Sunset.jpg Landscapes Montgomery Place Sunset - Nikon D7100, 1/60 @ f/11, ISO 200, 38mm, Tripod mounted.

An early season snow blankets the Sawtooth Mountains near Stanley, Idaho. I love photographing these rugged peaks when the snow starts falling. The Salmon River can be seen in the foreground. The heavy cloud cover was a portent of things to come. I encountered my first snowfall of the season shortly after this picture was taken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/ae55412b-3a38-43ea-b1e9-22cd72782345/Dunes+at+Daybreak-2.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Dunes at Daybreak - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 35mm. There is nothing like a walk on the beach in the early morning; it helps you put everything in its proper perspective. It also provides the best light of the day for taking pics! Photographed at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/9ca732bf-d7c4-42dd-99db-9e0fd583696b/The+River+2.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out The River - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/10, ISO 125, 53mm. It’s hard to beat northern Idaho for scenic beauty. We were on a road trip in early May heading south along the Salmon River on a cloudy, rainy day when I was afforded this view of the river valley. I have to admit that the weather conditions enhanced the natural beauty of the place and provided me with a dramatic landscape photo. In fact, it inspired a poem that you can read in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/4af3ef47-1376-40b5-9652-ff4cafd46c99/Scotland-2.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out The Wagon - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/125 @ f/8, ISO 160, 24mm. This photograph was taken on a recent tour of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The colorful wagon makes for great foreground interest but it’s the sky over the Isle of Skye that provides the drama! Rain is falling just off the coast in the center background. See the poem Haiku: The Wagon in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/8f262da5-388e-4f7b-8b12-e01f1fd15931/Bruneau2.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Bruneau Sand Dunes - Fujifilm XT-5, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 125, 16mm. Photographed on a recent visit to this state park in southern Idaho. I am standing on one of the dunes overlooking this lake that offers a fabulous reflection in the early morning light. I also like the color in the foreground and the tracks in the sand. Later in the day, legions of sand boarders showed up to test their skills on the steep slopes. We saw some epic wipeouts! I’ll stick to taking pictures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1619047135134-RWVQ2Y2ANNMLBBZ2Q2YV/The+Winding+River-4.jpg Landscapes The Winding River - Nikon D750, 1/320 @ f/10, ISO100, 38mm. Another look at the South Fork of the Boise from the canyon rim, this time in Spring. It’s a long, scary drive on a dirt road to get to this point, but well worth it. I hope you agree! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1654209532714-1ZWGDEGG9Q62RDWBYSMU/The+Wild+One.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out The Wild One - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/5.6, ISO 160, 600mm. I had the opportunity recently to photograph a herd of wild horses in southwestern Idaho. Since I am not a wildlife photographer, I had to rent a 100-400mm lens. I got some good shots of these rugged looking animals in their natural habitat. It took some off-roading to get there but well worth the effort. Thus, my decision to place it in the Landscapes category. I think I’m going to buy that lens! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1636227755574-UT0RRKC6GZ8SOLGD5FAP/Autumn+in+the+Valley.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Autumn in the Valley - Nikon D750, 1/100 @ f/13, ISO 100, 70mm. I spent four days in this Idaho valley camping with my son. The Cottonwoods and Aspens were magnificent! Beautiful but cold…and then it snowed for twenty-four hours straight creating an entirely different landscape just as beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1643060772673-MBKV9DFY4D4ZDOG55OZJ/Hoar+Frost.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Hot Springs - Nikon D750, 1/100 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 46mm. A recent snowfall, one degree temperatures and a hot spring combine for this winter image in the mountains of central Idaho. After shooting several dozen pics, I rewarded myself with a nice soak! See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1632603318647-FJ3E4E31IWW4K70NGMT7/Horseshoe+Bend.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Horseshoe Bend - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f /8.0, ISO 200, 16mm. An iconic image and no doubt you have seen many photographs of this bend in the Colorado River. I just had to get one of my own. The boats were a nice addition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1631826979156-JM8SA8BP34UMW6PITIOY/The+Light+Over+Lucky+Peak.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out The Light Over Lucky Peak - Nikon D750, 1/125 @ f /10, ISO 100, 36mm. We were hiking some trails in the area when a storm came in out of nowhere. A bright flash and a sharp crack of thunder an instant later was a not so subtle hint that the storm was right on top of us. It began to rain…hard! We ran! By the time we got back to the Jeep the rain had slackened and a few bright shafts of light began to penetrate the clouds. I knew immediately that this post storm light could produce some amazing photographs. I raced to this spot to capture the light over Lucky Peak and then wrote about the experience. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1629483539784-6FNBRN7KPB7MQRSFMCK8/Mt.+Ranier-4.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Mt Ranier - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 160, 24mm. An easy hike along the base of Mt. Ranier in Washington State brought me to this point just below the glacier. A beautiful view on a warm, hazy day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1625178304929-E1ESUTLOAGPT4ZD5QCQB/Receding+Ice.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Receding Ice - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 200, 16mm. This is a recent post to my 500px and Instgram galleries and now a feature on this page. There are a couple of things I would like to say about this photograph: Although new to this page, I took the image almost two years ago. I have several other glacier shots from Alaska on this site but for some reason this one got overlooked. That was a mistake because this is now my favorite image from that shoot. So be careful what you toss and always go back and take a fresh look at your old images. For a variety of reasons, you will see them in a new light. There is also an environmental concern depicted in this image. It was obvious to us, the untrained tourists, where and by how much the ice was retreating in Glacier Bay. I have to wonder what this image would look like if shot today or twenty years from now. The wide angle is the key to this image. I was able to bring out some of the structure in the mountains and capture some nice low lying clouds. There is a poem called “Receding” in the Poetry Section that goes along with this photo. Check it out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1617459618896-5YYBGXUJF7ZAHYALX99Y/Gem+Country-3.jpg Landscapes Gem Country - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/500 @ f/10, ISO 160, 56mm. A hike in the Idaho backcountry provided this view of the hills to the north and west of Squaw Butte. And yes, we were looking for gemstones! The Owhyees can be seen in the distance. Volcanic rock formations and my son provide the foreground interest. See the poem Bleached Bones in the Poetry Section. We came across quite a few! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1602105208144-Y7J19TO92UE1130KZIXH/Lucky+Peak+Hike-2.jpg Landscapes Lucky Peak Hike - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f / 9.0 ISO 80, 16mm. We were making our way up the foothills surrounding the Lucky Peak Reservoir. A look back gave me this panorama with some unusual foreground interest. This is early Fall and the water levels are pretty low. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1600621142178-N5LUS6UX5ITQSL6DWFXX/Stillwater+of+the+Snake.jpg Landscapes Stillwater of the Snake - 1/250 @ f /8, ISO 80, 35mm. This is another shot from our rafting trip along the Snake River in Idaho. Once again, I tried to take advantage of the smokey haze from the west coast wildfires by applying the Orton Effect to create this glowing, dream-like riverscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1600286252770-8EY6A318QGL1S18GCR01/Smoke+on+the+Water.jpg Landscapes Smoke on the Water - 1/250 @ f /8.0, ISO 200, 35mm. We were on a rafting/camping trip on the Snake River in Idaho. The smoke from the western wildfires turned the sky a pale grey. Deprived of color in the sky, let alone any clouds, and the smokey haze that filled the canyon, I decided to exaggerate the conditions I was offered and process the entire series utilizing the Orton Effect to create this diffused, dream like glow. A nod to the great Deep Purple for the title. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1598738943193-TAJRS5F6OH6RRC9CMZPA/Swan+Falls+Dam+at+Sunset.jpg Landscapes Swan Falls Dam - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/8 @ f/10, ISO 160, 35mm. This is a three shot bracket image taken about one half hour after sunset. I used two stop intervals between each image. I had a beautiful vantage point overlooking the Snake River. I particularly like the colors of this sunset and the lights on the dam. I had hoped to get to this spot a little sooner but we were catching too many fish along the far bend you see in the center background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1573001822523-59J253Q0HLHSCU2E3H0E/Prince+William+Sound.jpg Landscapes Prince William Sound - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 200, 84mm. One of my favorite glacier shots from our recent trip to Alaska. I was surprised by the striking color, particularly the blues, in the glacier formations. You can see very clearly here how this particular glacier has receded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1574021347349-308WF4LBB1KD5TOG158R/Morning+Snow.jpg Landscapes Morning Snow - Nikon D750, 1/200@ f/11, ISO 400, 38mm. An early season snowfall and beautiful morning light and calm ice free water combined for a very pretty seasonal image. I added a white vignette and softened the tones and contrast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1574879019086-YKO47AGW6B5KE7EMS1A3/The+Hills+Are+Brown.jpg Landscapes Meditation on a Landscape - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 200, 24mm. I love the elements of this photo from the earth tones to the small boat and just a wisp of a cloud. This is another shot of the Lucky Peak Reservoir in Idaho taken in late autumn. The late afternoon shadows were beginning to descend when I recorded this scene. A cool brisk wind was the only sound I could hear. I felt both lonely and alive! See my poem “Photographing A Landscape - A Meditation” in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1575759760066-WY43GMII19LFK42QR0WP/First+Light.jpg Landscapes First Light - Nikon D750, 1/200 @ f/11, ISO 400, 78mm. I was out early after the first snowfall of the season. The sunrise provided a stunning backlight for these snow covered pines along this now deserted lakefront. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1580839007010-DYV9GB6XYP17KIYHRBTA/Mountain+Pass.jpg Landscapes Mountain Pass - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 160, 16mm. A winter shot from the foothills around Boise, Idaho. The area is historic because the Oregon Trail passed through these hills. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1581642698166-5CNUXOF5RG33UT5P9YWB/Winter+Pines.jpg Landscapes Winter Pines - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 160, 56mm. A branch of the Payette River on the road to McCall, Idaho.

An early morning shot of a field in Ohio in early spring. I have photographs of the tree at center left in each of the four seasons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1619045998763-NTHQK640QG9ITQ3U3A95/The+Road.jpg Landscapes The Road - Fujifilm XT-3, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO 160, 16mm. This is a view from a small butte southwest of Boise, Idaho called Initial Point; a jumble of volcanic rock jutting up from the desert floor, accessible only by the dirt road you see in the middle distance. The Owhyee Range is visible in the distance. Great place to do some off-roading! See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1644449031856-6V5WNFMIWB0DQNV4TR6S/The+Great+Silence.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out The Great Silence - Fujifilm XT-3, 25.0 @ f/2.0, ISO 1600, 16mm. A night shot from deep in the foothills north of Boise. The fire-scarred pines stand as silent witnesses to the growing threat of climate change while the light from the Treasure Valley can still be seen in the bottom right.

Photographed at Craters of the Moon National Park in Idaho. This tree sits atop a barren volcanic hill overlooking the lava fields. I photographed it at sunrise and sunset but this late afternoon pic was my favorite, perhaps because of the shadows and color. I had to wonder how this tree came to be here, leaning into the wind, branches bending, barely hanging on by its exposed roots. It seemed so out of place in this other-worldly landscape. See the poem of the same title in the Poetry Section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/5787cdf4-bbf0-4d49-92b0-fa3745ee1d96/Redfish+Lake.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Redfish Lake - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/13, ISO 320, 79mm. A warm June day in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. It was late afternoon and the light was a little harsh. I had a warm polarizing filter on my lens that helps mitigate that. I like to include a solitary person in these vast landscape pics. The paddle boarder was happy to oblige. Yes, those colors in the water in the foreground are real! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/6897c2ce-1023-475e-840d-3f1410c89c73/01JamesMolloy_BCC_SoftSunset_A.jpg Landscapes - Make it stand out Soft Sunset - Fujifilm X-T5, 1/125 @ f/9.0, ISO 400, 79mm. The blue hour in the desert near Tucson, AZ. I used some soft color toning, a slight diffusion and some center lighting here. I enjoy the vintage film look of this image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1522415152105-IH6JNNCPU9R9K9PJ4OE7/to+the+waters+and+the+wild.jpg Landscapes To the Waters and the Wild - Nikon D750, 2sec. @f/10, ISO100, 46mm - Watkins Glen, NY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1542638648958-Z4VTRUIK7CBF78SH1HGK/Mountain+Stream.jpg Landscapes Mountain Stream - Fujifilm X-T3, 1/75 @ f/8.0, ISO1600, 16mm.

I photographed this Alaskan landscape just outside Denali National Park. It was a memorable experience for me because we were on a jeep excursion at the time, winding our way through this valley on a narrow dirt road. Driving a jeep and taking pictures; my idea of a good time! It was late in the day so the light coming off the mountains was just right. By the way, we did spot a moose in that tall grass on the other side of the river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1551710197024-KRM8LF3EB2LYQEUF3GGK/Pailon+del+Diablo.jpg Landscapes Pailon del Diablo - Fujifim X-T3, 1/125 @ f/11, ISO 400, 16mm. The Devil’s Cauldron! This waterfall is just outside Banos, Ecuador. We were making our way up the trail to the top of the waterfall (you can only see a small portion here) when I spotted this vantage point. The forest canopy was open just enough to offer this fabulous view of the falls. You can actually go behind the waterfalls “Last of the Mohicans” style. It was raining hard that day so I was caught between my desire to get the shot in a photo rich environment and protecting my equipment. I took some risks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1522415287821-QKYYSY4EZ92L4ZBK286F/Cabin+in+the+Smokies+R.jpg Landscapes Cabin in the Smokies - Nikon D7100 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a96c906372b961913992ee6/1522415339031-72ZMM0GYIE383Y08UPK3/Montgomery+Place+Sunset.jpg Landscapes Montgomery Place Sunset - Nikon D7100, 1/60 @ f/11, ISO 200, 38mm, Tripod mounted.
