Hipstography and Hong Kong - They Love Me

Hong Kong Cash

I was recently published in a very cool online magazine for Hipstamatic photographers called Hipstography. This gallery of 18 of my native Hipstamatic images from my journey to Hong Kong was a real honor. To date, this has been my most successful photography trip and I look forward to returning there soon. I encourage you all to check out Hipstography and give a shout out to its fabulous author, Eric Rozen (the blog is in English and French) While I have been noticeably absent from my blogging duties I have been quite fortunate with my photos lately as I will share in subsequent posts.

I appreciate very much all the support from fellow bloggers over the past 2 years and my art is starting to gain traction thanks largely to your encouragement and readership. Stay tuned :-)

Point Reyes Images #2

Ripples and Reflections

Point Reyes Images is a series of shots from my recent exploration of one of the most remote and beautiful parts of the Pacific coast of California. Today's image is McClure's Beach just below Tomales Point (yesterday's image). I have a fondness for the patterns in the sand made by the surf and tides. This lovely dusk reflection of the sandy promontory in the background adds a lovely yin to the yang of ripples in the foreground, The surf in the distance seems so inviting but is alas quite chilly and inhospitable.

Tomorrow's Point Reyes image is a hidden beach and perhaps even more uninviting....

Here is a reminder of my upcoming instructional workshop for iPhone photography.

Haiku Sunday - The Denver Adventure's Final Days

Haiku Sunday - The Denver Adventure's Final Days is a photo and poetic chronicle of our last two weeks living here in Colorado. Mixed emotions, joy, sadness, and the fear of the unknown all share in this largest HS of all time. (Roll over images with your mouse for the titles)

shining app sized bites

loving the views hating douche

morgue before-after

she tore at the pack

then grabbed scissors to shred the

seams of the cement bag

decisions shaped and

adventures planned taking sip

after sip dreaming

playful turns seem so

innocent till the searing

begins and skin burns

the robiola

melting on the hand while the

kir made her more open

always raw the chef knows

there can be no other way

to build Frankenstein

stirring stirring rice

time stands at bold attention

waiting the flatware

another damn dram

pulled to the lips with a burn

sprayed later from urn

last he had less now

more than before into the jar

not in the glass whore

crying alone is

always better than tears of joy

shed towards losers

wrapped up like a pro

the victim's body smelled fresh

when it hit the steam

a final heaven meal

among angels of the sea

how can we replace?

mister limpet smiled

as he prepared to sound

his horn of demise

the ends of the earth

to find the great fish that are

the end of the earth

rocking rolls of rib

meat in spotlight setting the

mood to imbibe now

days after blue moons

the light now ordinary

but still lights our way
