Amateur photographer posting mostly landscape and night cityscape photos from #Pentax, #Olympus, and other classic digital cameras.
AI is nice, but I do not use it in any of my art. All photographs © me unless otherwise noted.
My photos are suitable for general audiences. I try to post helpful ALT text for all images. I’d like to see your favorite photos, too!

Water droplets for #MacroMonday . I like how the blue/gold diagonal of the bricks in the background gets reversed by the droplets.
This is a much simpler composition than the one I posted yesterday. Do you like the minimalism, or is it boring?

Photographed January 2026. Thank you for looking.
Here's the behind-the-shot setup. Glass plate has water droplets, and I photograph the beaded purse straight down through those droplets.
Got the idea from a Joey Terrill video a few years back via @bhphoto.com 's Optic conference.
Another water droplet photograph before I leave this sunny Florida porch and return to Washington DC.
My mother-in-law's collection of cheap Chinese purses is fun for this kind of thing.
