Content of shit

I read this and made me pause:

Like those pictures you take. The good ones are either art, or portraits, or, at worst, photography. But the really awful ones you put on Facebook -- that picture of the tunafish sandwich you had for lunch, or your dog licking himself, or the adoring selfie -- that shit. And that content is shit!
The Ad Contrarian

Be proud of your work but be your worst critic. Seek perfection but don't be stuck in perfectionism. Create with passion and not for an audience of imaginary friends with shallow "likes".  Explore and go against convention if that is what drives you, as only by seeking and not following you truly will master the art.
For yourself.

That is what I think when I photograph.

My city looking vintage

It was only apt that I would edit these images in a bit of an old-school look since they were taken with lenses that are more than 50 years old.

Big boulders

Dwarfed by the sheer size of the boulders the tree looks like a bonsai.

Back-lit web

As the fog lifted it left behind a delicate veil of droplets on the spiders webs.

Bubbles in the creek

There is a creek that I like to visit on my backpacking trips.
This time I looked closely at the bubbles formed by the cascading waters.

Glistening in the afternoon sun, small and insignificant while floating by but mesmerizing nevertheless.

Exposed cliffs

In touch with nature on the smooth cliffs of Northern Åland.
