In agreement with Gianluca. I can almost hear the gentle sound of the waves and feel a light breeze blowing across my face.

I had the privilege of visiting a raptor rehabilitation center in Sitka, Alaska back in 2000. Seeing these majestic birds up close was a treat for me. I'm not a birder but it always saddens me to see a bird like this lying on the road after being struck down. It seems such an inappropriate way...

Roy, First off, welcome to RFF. I think I may be one of the dozen or so that Gary mentioned. In the 80's and 90's I did event and real estate photography that required transporting my equipment on an airplane. My main case was a Zero Halliburton aluminum. I looked them up and a vintage case like...

Stevenson, Can totally understand. These are beautiful. Moments like this seem to posses a soothing or calming introspection. Congratulations too!

Tony has a good thought. My addition to that would be to look around your house, since the snow is outside, and notice where the light is through the day. Does it cast interesting shadows or illuminate certain objects placed in or near the window. I know someone who places fruit on the window...

I do enjoy old Hollywood films. I think Lauren Bacall and Gene Tierney are two of my favorite female stars but Rita Hayworth in "The Lady from Shangai" is another. Film noir is probably my favorite genre. I also like some of the classic science fiction and Michael Powell and Emeric Pressberger...

Greetings from Dallas, Texas. I'm a little late on my welcome Sera. No worries about your experience or your camera. After all I think it's more about your heart and your eye isn't it? I noticed you use a quote by Marlene Dietrich. Do you also enjoy classic cinema?

Thanks Pete and Gary. The baby in this drawing had her 10th wedding anniversary this year! Where does time go? That's one of the main reasons I enjoy photography. Being able to relive past moments that so quickly passed by.

35mm probably most often but I am in no way a one lens type. My choice is definitely subject driven. For a period of time back in the early 2000's my Canon P&S IQ Zoom had the lens stuck at the 35mm setting and that impacted my shooting. I often reach for the 21mm Biogon for my Contax G2 and I...

It's great your hard work is being recognized yet again. Deservedly so. Congratulations Chris!

Superman, Dr. Who and Chris Bennett. Superheroes in their own way now without a phone box. I have no doubt Chris will find a new subject. Not for sure about the man of steel or the Dr.

I'm a huge Jazz fan and saxophone is one of my favorites. At the top of my list though is Wynton Marsalis. 3/29/1999 we had the privilege to see and hear him in person during the Duke Ellington 100th Anniversary tour. WOW!! Looks like an intimate venue. Nothing like live music.

Gianluca, I really appreciate your kind words. I spent months writing that story. The final photo edit was difficult because I had so many others that I loved. I shot numerous photos of the skyline from that location, south of downtown, and they are now historical documents. A new hotel, the...

Thanks Chris! That means a lot to me to hear you say that. Thanks for sharing it also. On a more recent note this property is about to begin a new multi-use development so I went by and shot a pano from the same location as 2010. This will start a new chapter in this unfolding story. As 2028...

You're sticking with it all the way to the end. Whenever that is and whatever that looks like. I hope you can document the final removal. That would complete the circle. 10 shot panoramic shot with Canon F1-n & 35mm T&S on Fuji Velvia 50 I documented the demolition of a local sports arena...
