"Second Wave Commute"

I was quite late on my work commute, took the 5 minute transit time to capture the second wave commute that comes after the very busy rush hour in my home town - a more-leisurely vibe.

“Chasing the light for snowman building time”

In the first weeks of the year, I struggle with motivation and the lack of sunlight.

This image captures the time when my office job currently ends. I rushed downtown to catch the last light in a city park. Fresh snow helped reflect the fading light and motivated some kids to roll a large snowball, which I placed using the ROT guidelines.

"The EEG"

My partner has a mobile EEG for a few days. It didn’t look as sci-fi as we were hoping. It was a white bandage over a bunch of wires, which is covered by a knit hat in this photo. I played with color grading to make it look a little dystopian. The only evidence of the EEG is the wires hanging down in front of their shirt, but it also looks like a braid.

When I joined 52Frames in 2023, the self portrait challenge was so intimidating that I delayed starting until week 4. Then in 2024 and 2025 I did semi-serious self portraits - so this year I thought I'd try to do something more abstract and fun. My editing skills leave a bit of a gap between my desired outcome and the result, but I don't think it'll get significantly better before the deadline, so... embrace the imperfection. #52frames #selfportrait #photography #darktable #gimp #nikon #d200
