One of my favorite images for 2022, I had a good feeling this image was destined to be a monochrome. It did not disappoint.
It did take a bit of a "photo-dance", moving around until all the images lined up as I had envisioned it, but eventually, it all fell into place. I could not have asked for a more perfect cloud either!IcelandLaugarvatnMonochromeBlack and WhiteBuildingsClouds

Some of my work speaks to me on a deep level. Such is the case with this image. After spending an unforgettable month in Iceland, luck made it possible for me to experience a flight over the famous "braided rivers" in the very last day it was possible to fly before I embarked on my homeward journey.
It was one of those unforgettable experiences, one I will not soon forget.

While on an evening stroll, these fantastic light beams broke through the dense cloud cover, illuminating the ship on the horizon. If you look carefully to the right of the frame, you will see the silhouette of a seagull, perfectly illuminated by the sun reflecting off of the ocean.Embrace

Enjoying a break with his cigar, I was taken aback by the sheer strength in this mans eyes, the wrinkles in his face witness to a long, and probably hard, life.
The immaculately clean shirt, the newspaper carefully folded, protecting his pants, all underscoring his proud presence.
