Halloween 2018.

They do say having equipment in shot is a nod to the photographic process. Well that's my excuse anyway.

This is the full-length 4K version of the live recording 'A for Atom', back on 03.03.2022, when nuclear war tensions were high, so it's a kind of stress release. I let it be as it is. Watch out for your retinas and avoid epileptic seizures, as it consists almost entirely of strobe-like effects, without mercy or compassion.

Suraya by Rey mangouta Via Flickr: I recently went to the coast, away from the fast paced city life... My friend Suraya and her family invited me to join them for their trip to a place called Ballito which is around Durban, in South Africa... We spent 12 days right by the ocean, every morning was a blessing as we had amazing sunrises...this trip taught me something really important about photography and life in general, we really need to travel more not just so we can be inspired but also simply because it gives us a different "look" to our images... and as for life we learn more about the world and we get to make new friends and discover new cultures :) My FAcebook | My 500px | My twitter | My Website | My Instagram Gear Used: Nikon D700 Nikon 85mm 1.8D B+W 0.3 + 0.6 ND filters Menik SQ 500 (studio light + battery pack) Strobist info: Menik SQ500 + 120cm wide Octabox camera left

'The Photographer's Eye'

I've told the story about meeting Issam before. It was an interaction that lasted only a handful minutes and yet seven years later here I am looking back at Issam's intent-full gaze and wondering ... where he is, how he is? 

Over the years I've walked up to hundreds of strangers and asked If I could make their portrait. Ball-parking it, I'd say 92-95% of the people I approach allow me the opportunity. And yes, if you're wondering, even though it is an inherent part of the process, it is still a bit of a burn getting turned down. 

Photography, particularly this approach to it, challenges me in the best way. It brings out of me a level of thought, and creativity, and emotion, that pushes me to not only make better images but strive to be a better human. The degree in which my emotional intelligence has grown since picking up a camera is just beyond. Empathy is something I am constantly processing–it is also empathy that gives me a degree of sight. It is a sight that showed me Issam, the human, before the composition of this photograph. I suspect it was why half my communication with Issam was non-verbal. A hand raised in salutation followed followed by a slight yet re-assuring smile and a gesture to my camera. A two hand outline of the composition I had in mind. A nod of assent. We're working. Index and middle finger to my chin with a downward push prompted him to bring his chin downwards leveling his gaze directly at me.

A push of the shutter and a gesture to hold.

Another push of the shutter and a gesture of one more.

The bus is coming, wait for it. Wait for it...

After, I asked Issam where he was from. "Sudan" he replied. 

"Wow! How long have you been in Alaska?" I asked. 

He paused as if to calculate the dates, "Two years this December," he replied. With a coy smile and a playful eye-roll look around at our surroundings I asked, "What do you think of Alaska so far?” 

He lifted his right hand, palm faced to the ground, before tilting his hand from side to side as if to say, "so-so".
