"Wake Up" This epic piece by the one and only talented @jorgegutierrez226 in North Park, San Diego, CA, makes a bold proclamation. As if it is saying "Are we woke yet or just drifting by?" With all that is going on around us it is clear that there is a dynamic shift in the universe! . . . www.artist-perspective.com . . . #WakeUp #woke #NorthPark #JorgeGutierrezArt #street #urbanandstreet #onthestreet #onthestreetsofSanDiego #SanDiego #SanDiegophotos #Urbanlandscape #streetdoc #streetart #art #urbanart #streetphotography #enlightened #IAAVSA #PaulWKoesterPhotography #ArtistPerspective (at North Park, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0rflObgTjK/?igshid=16pw4hw8d6vx0

"Swamp House" I spent a couple weeks with my beautiful daughters. One of those weeks we spent on the Florida pan handle near Miramar Beach. It stayed mostly socked in the duration of our stay. However I love the effect it gave to the few photos I was able to capture. I stopped making New Year's resolutions a few years ago. Since then I have written down goals. I shared the importance of goals to my daughters and explained how they work. To my surprise they both began writing their goals in their new journals. . www.artist-perspective.com . . . . . #daughters #vacay #MiramarBeach #Florida #lifegoals #goals #Floridaphotographs #Floridaphotography #Floridaphotographer #beachscene #nature #fog #mist #winter #winterweather #panhandle #NorthFlorida #PaulWKoesterPhotography #landscape #ArtistPerspective #landscapephotography #goalsarelikemagic (at Miramar Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bst6TkihLft/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13etwa9zmbpnw

"Yellowstone Sky" I have been fascinated with the stars for as long as I can remember. There is so much out there to wonder about. So much that we have discovered we know so little about even in our own solar system. The more we discover the more mind blowing it gets! Old Faithful gives it her all as the Milky Way galaxy cruises by. @yellowstonenps , Wyoming. . www.artist-perspective.com . . . . . #Yellowstone #YellowstoneNP #Wyoming #nature #MilkyWay #MilkyWaygalaxy #outerspace #OldFaithful #geyserphotographs #OldFaithfulphotographs #Yellowstonephotographs #Wyomingphotographs #PaulWKoesterPhotography #ArtistPerspective #naturephotography #landscapephotography #MilkyWayphotographs #MilkyWayphotography #Zenmoment #naturalwonder #outofthisworld #stars #planets #galaxy (at Yellowstone National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-1io_AAmZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1abfso2ot7q3l

"Florida Snow" It is no joke, it's nasty out there for some of you!! I hope you are staying safe and doing your best to stay warm. As cold as it is, this "Florida Snow" on the pan handle isn't that bad compared to what Old Man Winter is dishing out to the North - Grayton Beach, FL . www.artist-perspective.com . . . . . #GraytonBeach #FloridaSnow #Florida #whitesand #winter #nature #Floridaphotographs #beachphotographs #naturephotographs #pKKb #twophotogs #naturephotography #naturephotographer #Floridaphotography #Floridaphotographer #landscape #landscapephotographs #PaulWKoesterPhotography #ArtistPerspective #ArcticBlast (at Grayton Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtR7BWhhOTQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jodcqdht7v8d

"No Less Beautiful" How much beauty and wonder goes unnoticed? If a beautiful flower blooms in a meadow and no person sees it; is it any less beautiful? Not all happens for us, a flower will still bloom because it wants to regardless of all the reasoning. It is unreasonable. Therefore we too must become unreasonable and bloom regardless of the circumstances.

"Mulies" One of my rewards during my first morning in Zion National Park. I slept over night in back of my truck, got up early and hopped on a trail. I wasn't out long before running into these 3 mule deer. They weren't bothered much by my presence. It has to be comforting to them knowing that they are safe and protected here. www.artist-perspective.com #Zion #heavenonearth #majestic #muledeer #deer #onthetrail #offthebeatentrack #nature #Zenmoment #peace #harmony #conservenature #protectnature #ZionNationalPark #Utah #PaulWKoesterPhotography #ArtistPerspective #roadtrip #naturephotography #travel #travelphotography (at Zion National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0PRCH5A1Ue/?igshid=1rw74q4rymk2u

"Tabebuia" I love these beautiful yellow flowering trees in Florida. The yellow on the bare branches against the blue blue sky. I have cardinals, blue jays, mockingbirds, hummingbirds and wood peckers visit me while working in my studio. Too bad my neighbor went and cut it down last week. #nature #destructionofnature #respectfornatureisgone #conserveandprotect #lovefornatureisgone #tabebuia #yellow #Orlando #Florida #landscape #naturallandscape #backtobasics #backtonature #environment #tree #stopcuttingtreesfornoreason #PaulWKoesterPhotography #ArtistPerspective #yellowflowers #igcolor #ignature (at Belle Isle, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWHM8VgSD7/?igshid=1kx701i1zawjt

"Sacred Ground" During the month of June climbing above the rock fall line on Devils Tower National Monument is completely shutdown. The month of the summer solstice is "given over" to to the native people that have sacred ties to the monument. During this time private rituals are held. Prayer clothes are hung and prayers are said. I will always venture off the beaten path the moment I am given an opportunity. One reason is many people visiting our natural parks or nature in general do not know how to act while in nature nor do they have respect for it. Of course people have to be told to respect nature, not mess with or touch the prayer clothes, do not litter, pack out what you brought in, don't venture off trail, put out your camp fire, no illegal fires and etc. Yet everywhere I travel sadly there is too much disrespect and no regard for our sacred land. Though I could never relate to the experiences, tradition and connection that the native people have to the land and this place. I still felt incredibly close to the place and blessed to come across these prayer cloths. It truly is a remarkable and sacred place as is all of nature! . www.artist-perspective.com . . . . . #SacredGround #prayercloth #DevilsTower #nationalpark #nature #respectnature #protectnature #conservenature #film #NikonFM2 #Wyoming #June #summersoltice #roadtrip #offthebeatenpath #whereverImaywander #travelphotography #PaulWKoesterPhotography #oursacredland #wehavearesponsibility (at Devils Tower National Monument-Official NPS site) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcwMyFA_MU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s5wui1k7wfqo

"Yellowstone Sky" One of my favorites from 2017. Old Faithful and the Milky Way in below freezing temperatures. It was wonderful being there alone with nature and witnessing this phenomenon - @yellowstone . . . . . . #YellowstoneSky #Milkyway #longexposure #nature #Yellowstone #YellowstoneNationalPark #landscape #OldFaithful #galaxy geothermal #steam #hot #explosive #MilkyWayphotographs #naturephotographs #landscapephotographs #ArtistPerspective #PaulWKoesterPhotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu7CisvAc0w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v3lv7gsh40ah

This year @samflaxorlando Orlando received over 200 entries for their mural painting event. Out of the 200, 11 artists were chosen. These are images from the event at Sam Flax, including other mural painting going on in the immediate area at the same time. I also went back at night in the rain to do some fun long exposures of the finished work. Be sure to check out the artist's other works and give them a follow. To see the entire collection please go to one of my Facebook pages. #SamFlax #SamFlaxOrlando #Orlando #Florida #Orlandoart #Orlandoartists #streetart #muralart #urbanart #urbanandstreet #onthestreet #onthestreetsofOrlando. #Orlandostreetart #longexposure #streetphotography #urbanphotography #streetartists #urban #street #PaulWKoesterPhotography #ArtistPerspective #popart #flaxwalls #mills50 #millsdistrict (at Sam Flax of Orlando) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bur184jAKvS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ljwacee15iy

"The Hustle" Life is a hustle, it's a grind. We get through it, somehow, someway, in our own way. Every day. What a great story we will tell when we are asked "What did YOU do to make it through?"
