Fall in Winter
February 12, 2025
This has been a much snowier winter than usual. But February vegetation is bleak against the snow, so infrared photography allows me to bring funky fall colors back to the world.

Feeding the Hungry
January 30, 2025
Most of us have a compulsive need to feed simpler lifeforms. It feels good, it's easy and sometimes the right thing to do.
