I think this fits into the Nature is Metal Category. On our Urban Wildlife walk on Friday we saw this Bald Eagle with its latest meal, a Gull. @morganheim.bsky.social the leader of our event spotted this right as we were wrapping up the walk - she's amazing btw, and you should go see her work.

I've been putting the new Sony 400-800mm G lens through its paces over the past week and it's so good! The primary people asking about it are bird photographers, so I thought I'd post a bunch of what I've been testing it out on! Most of these were taken on the A1II. #wildlifephotography

I’m always happy when I make it to Saturday. Even though my job sometimes means I’m working, it still feels somehow special. Today is a non-working one though.

I spent a very cold night out on the Oregon Desert last month, and just couldn't go to sleep before making a few images of one of my favorite places with the Milkyway reflecting off ice. #desert #oregon #oregondesert #milkyway #sonyalpha #sonyA1II #20mm18G

You rock. This is directed at you specifically. You're awesome & don't you dare think otherwise

This small part of Painted Hills is my favorite part. It’s gets even better for me when it’s snow covered. #oregon #paintedhills #winter #snow

Good morning nature fans! This is the final week of heron gm's before I move on to another animal for March. What will it be? Eagles? Bears? Dolphins? Whales? Songbirds? Maybe african animals?🪶📷 #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #birds #heron

A cold January morning in Zion National Park. Minhaz and I ventured up the trail that leads to the narrows with all the crazies in waders in low 20°ish temperatures this morning and the light was so direct and beautiful. It doesn’t look that cold, but it was on another level. #landscapephotography

Seeing the latest Trump antic- trying to shut down the Downtown NYC tolls -supports what I've been predicting since the election. States will ignore Trump and Musk's nonsense and take over all social services to take care of citizens. Many states are in a better position to do it than others.

A must read! @marcelias.bsky.social is a real Mench! www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Exactly.

Dear National and State Parks: To all that you represent. Your history, your gifts to humanity and to your future. To all those that protect you and nurture you. I am here for you and I stand with you… - borrowed from @fromanalucia.bsky.social #NationalParks #StateParks #photography #protection

I think this is right. I’ve settled on “I’m sorry you were lied to.” Believe me I understand the impulse to tell these people that they’re getting what they voted for, I just don’t think it’s constructive. There are some in my family that I’m a little more stern with though. 😏

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Hi friends! Been gone for a week or so as I had a bunch of work travel, and a client job that kept my brain occupied for days. I've found I'm like that with social media. I only really show up here as a brief escape during normal days, but I don't make time for it when I'm busy. What about you?

So, Apple Maps … cowards. #GulfofMexico - they are not letting you send the name is wrong, but you can submit Something Else.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

On the last morning of my January trip I woke up in one of my favorite places in the world. There was a sheen of ice about an inch or so thick and I spent some great time exploring. -watched the thermometer very closely with all that frozen water around. 😉 #desert #easternoregon #Kodakgold200 #film

True.

The view before the view. I never fail to be blown away every time I go over this rise. IYKYK #landscape #infrared #seoregon #eaststeensroad #720nm

New work from my recent trip to Death Valley. Titled -Not Naming Names I don't know that I'll ever get tired of these kinds of scenes. Also, I did- in fact- carry my 400 2.8 up to the top of the tallest dune. 😜 #dunes #desertabstract #desert #deathvalley #sonyalpha

A butte in Utah. I was curious when I shot this from about 1.5 miles away how tall the orange rock was. So I flew my drone there and measured the height. That “rock” is 70’ tall. #utah #landscape #photography

Too many people didn't appreciate just how wonderful, how glorious, it was that the daily news cycle during Biden's presidency was boring as fuck.

It took awhile. Too long actually. I deleted my Twitter acct. I resisted because of the (mostly positive) history going all the way back to 2008, but it's time to be done with it. I'm sad that what was once a great place to connect with like-minded people is now so completely bankrupt.

This was day 2 of an epic road trip with my friend Min and we spent the morning in the Mesquite Dunes in Death Valley. I posted up at the top of the tallest dune and the view was magnificent. I made these images with the #fujigs645s and #kodakportra400 film. #desert #filmphotography

Here are a few photos from a unique morning in Eastern Oregon last week. I've been here so many times, but I've never seen anything like this! The folded patterns are where the ice on top gets pushed by wind, and glides over the melted water underneath. #desert #oregondesert #ice #desertwinter

Some photos I have taken along the path of life

Shame on you Google. Truly embarrassing. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

We need to see more of this. Twitter is not a trusted valid platform for official organizations to use anymore.

It's kinda weird looking through new photos from the dunes & noticing myself thinking of previous favorites that made it into my portfolio. I find these sorts of images are perhaps the most like true digital negatives #deathvalley #dunes #abstract #california #desert #landscapephotography #fineart

Working on the new photos....it will be a little bit before I share more, but it got me looking back in to the archives as well! This one is called The March of Time.

I'm always so grateful to spend time with friends in nature. Minhaz met up with me for 3.5ish days of shooting. Here he is off in the distance on the dunes in Death Valley.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

This was revealed to me in a vision

some photos I took of our voyage

Lots of ice on the McKenzie River and Sahalie falls today

Grow til Tall. Misty trees is a favourite subject of mine to document.

In the Dunes. Last light of the day partially illuminates the sand dunes as the shadows grow and darkness lengthens. #photography #nature #landscapephotography #sanddunes

I just got home from a week long roadtrip. 2 days of work in Salt Lake city, then 5 days in the desert! I've got so many photos of new places I've never been, and some familiar. Here are a few of my early favorites.

Hawaii is pretty special. This was taken on the Kaanapali coast on Maui a few years back right after I had first gotten this camera. I was shooting #kodakportra400 - surprise, surprise. 1 /2 #hasselblad500cm #80mmf28c #maui #kaanapali #hawaii #film

Pre-Dawn light appears over one of my favorite mountain ranges in the world, Torres del Paine in Southern Patagonia. Even after 20 trips to this region over the years, this view NEVER gets old! Have you been to Patagonia before?

Happy Friday night! Hope it’s been a good week for all of you and that’s the weekend is refreshing and restful .

Man, Holidays have me cooped up and working. Looking forward to some time out in nature once it settles down!

Thinking about the desert again and making plans.

Took a little stroll yesterday with the Sony A1II yesterday. Not many subjects were out, but I did find this little guy!

Let's just say it pays to stick around at the end of a work trip. I spent all day loading gear after this one, then had one of the most relaxing and beautiful sunsets on the beach. Missing these warm summer California days right about now in cold, rainy Oregon. Shot with the 85GMII

Ok, guess I should start posting here again. Usual- “twitter is a cesspool” “Elon Sucks” “less crap” - it all applies. Hope you are all well!
