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!

Here's the behind-the-shot setup. Glass plate has water droplets, and I photograph the beaded purse straight down through those droplets.
