Oh that’s gonna look amazing on long exposure I think. Hope you brought your ND filters, cuz it looks quite bright out there.

It’s true 👀 View quoted note →

My first #Monero customer (whom I don’t intend to name) bought this photograph a couple of weeks ago for 0.05 #XMR. This is the SD version. The original he received is 60 times bigger in size and can be printed large enough to suit a variety of paper and framing options, ready to hang on any wall. You can own one too if you like any of the photographs on my website. Shoot me a DM if you’re interested.

Fine art is like hard money. It appreciates in value over time. So my photography has a fixed price in hard money, whether you buy it today, 20 or 50 years from now. 0.03 XBT or 0.05 XMR for this piece or any other photograph you choose from my website. Print it big, frame it as you please, and put it on your wall if you like it. Shoot me a DM if interested. #XBT #XMR

I had chatGPT do me a new logo. What do you think, lol

Another phone shot. It’s from a temple that was half-submerged and abandoned when the communist regime built a dam in the 1960s and flooded the nearby village. In the summer, the water recedes enough that you can walk inside. The rest of the year the church remains partially underwater. Today it’s a magnet for photographers, especially around sunset when the surrounding water reflects the deep reds and pinks of golden hour. I’ll post a few exterior shots in the coming days that I took earlier today.

Wow I haven’t posted in a while 🤔🫠

Stay strong like the mountains! Happy New Year friends! 🥂

Nothing beats an evening stroll in the forest while it’s raining.

When you pitch a tent next to a view like that, the job is stupidly simple: crawl out at 6 AM, take the shot, crawl back in. The real problem is trying to fall asleep again after a sunrise like that hits you in the face.

Do I question my photography skills? Yeah, all the time. The web’s packed with world-class photographers who live and breathe this craft daily. Me? I’m shooting on a decade-old camera and manage to get out maybe two or three times a month. While others have shot millions of frames, I’ve barely cracked fifty thousand. When I compare my work to theirs, mine often looks flat and underwhelming. Do I care, though? Not really. Photography for me is meditative - a way to connect with nature and capture a moment that’ll never repeat itself. You can’t step into the same river twice; it’s not the same river, and you’re not the same man. Landscape photography works the same way. I remember every shoot, every frame I decided to keep - the weather, the mood, the struggle to get it right. And I remember the feeling when I first see a print come to life - the quiet sense of accomplishment. Better photographers might get the spotlight, but no one can take away the moment you capture something real. I called this one Behind These Bars to remind myself that the only limits on my creativity are the ones I build. Don’t lock yourself in your own cage and then blame the world for it.

Something is coming 👀

GM. This one’s from 2017, one of my earliest works. I called it “Still in the Game” because back then most of my shots didn’t come out how I wanted, and I was afraid I’d never get good. Looking at it now, it’s full of mistakes - over-edited, edges too dark, middle too bright, colors way off - and I foolishly deleted the RAW file, so it’s locked like this forever. But the composition still holds. I went back to the same spot recently with more experience, a better camera, better editing skills, and perfect light, and I still couldn’t recapture it. That’s the strange thing about photography: sometimes you can come up with a better frame as a novice than you can craft as a pro, and you’ll never make the exact same image twice. If you’re looking for a hobby, landscape photography is one that often delivers even in failure.
