    A Change of Plans

    Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. I had every intention of heading out for a night shot, capturing some crisp stars against an old church, but nature had other ideas. Instead, I found myself indoors, looking for a different kind of shot. Photography is just as much about adapting as it is about planning. So,…

  • A Study in Distraction – When the Mind Wanders, the Camera Clicks

    A Study in Distraction – When the Mind Wanders, the Camera Clicks

    Let’s be honest—some tasks are so routine they barely engage the brain anymore. For me, Health & Safety training is one of those. It’s necessary, sure, but after doing it every couple of years for two decades, my mind naturally starts looking for an escape route. Today, that escape came in the form of my…

  • A New Lens and the Unofficial Studio Cat

    A New Lens and the Unofficial Studio Cat

    It’s a tradition. New lens? Take a photo of the cat. Every single time. I’m not sure if she knows this, or if she’s just so photogenic that she instinctively claims her rightful place in the frame. Either way, meet the test subject for my new lens. I wanted to see what this lens could…

    Experimenting with Motion

    Today’s photo was a bit of an experiment. I noticed the trees swaying in the wind, their branches creating a chaotic dance against the stark silhouettes of their trunks. It felt like a moment worth capturing, but I wasn’t entirely sure how it would turn out. This shot explores the contrast between movement and stillness—the…

  • On Wings and Reflections: Two Weeks Away

    On Wings and Reflections: Two Weeks Away

    Two weeks, a camera, and countless moments captured. This image, taken as I prepared to return home, feels like the perfect metaphor for the journey I’ve just completed. The sharp lines of the plane’s wing and the sweeping expanse of the sky remind me of the balance between structure and freedom—something I’ve been exploring through…

  • The Last Night in This Chapter

    The Last Night in This Chapter

    And just like that, the end of another trip arrives. This photo, with my well-traveled suitcase spilling over, feels like the perfect metaphor. It’s not just the closing of a suitcase but the closing of a chapter—a creative chapter filled with fleeting moments, quiet reflections, and the beauty of the everyday. The hotel stays, the…

  • The Subtlety of Reflection: A Story in Layers

    The Subtlety of Reflection: A Story in Layers

    Sometimes, a photo is as much about what it hides as what it shows. I was drawn to this scene not for its grandeur, but for its quiet details: the glow of the mirror, the symmetry of the sink, and the delicate fog left behind by a fleeting moment. As I framed the shot, I…

  • Finding Peace in Silhouettes: A Photo and Reflection

    Finding Peace in Silhouettes: A Photo and Reflection

    After a long day, I didn’t think I had the energy to pick up the camera. But as I looked out while chatting on my phoe to my wife  and saw the silhouette of the trees against the fading light, I knew I had to capture the moment. Photography isn’t just about perfect conditions or…

  • The Art of Showing Up:

    The Art of Showing Up:

    Today was one of those days. Long hours, hard work, and by the time I finally stopped, there wasn’t much left in the tank. But I promised myself I’d keep up with my photo-a-day project, and so I looked around for something—anything—that caught my eye. The towels on the rail seemed ordinary, but as I…

  • Morning Light: Finding Inspiration in Unexpected Places

    Morning Light: Finding Inspiration in Unexpected Places

    It was one of those nights. Restless, full of tossing and turning, and when the alarm finally went off, I hit the snooze button twice. I wasn’t ready to face the day just yet. But before I turned on the light, something caught my eye—the soft, geometric play of light and shadow across the ceiling.…
