Longtime professional photographer. From 1999 to 2015 I founded and ran a popular photographer's website/forum: ilovephotography. com. Now I shoot mostly for fun and personal expression. I post only my own work, never AI.https://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3mk4dokushk2aA sun shower scene I tried to photograph while driving the other day. I think the shrub is a hibiscus. #photography #hibiscus #sunshower #raindrops22 Apr 2026 20:31 +0000at://did:plc:juqhebd42cjbatgomihunt7j/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk4dokushk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3mjyz7zusnc2cSometimes it feels like I have the whole place to myself. #photography #sunrise #morning #alone21 Apr 2026 12:45 +0000at://did:plc:juqhebd42cjbatgomihunt7j/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjyz7zusnc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3mj63orjetk2eSome recent squares. #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #squares10 Apr 2026 19:48 +0000at://did:plc:juqhebd42cjbatgomihunt7j/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj63orjetk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3miwv63qqc22cI don't really know if this works or not, but I do kind of like how the silhouetted human figures compete with the shapes of the bushes along the ridge.

I’ve noticed most simple tow trucks share this same basic configuration. #blackandwhite #photography #towtruck #pareidolia09 Jan 2026 03:49 +0000at://did:plc:juqhebd42cjbatgomihunt7j/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbxlonpxvk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3mbenueofzs2kI rarely make new year resolutions, but I really want to for 2026. So here goes: -- Make (more) eye-contact with strangers when I'm out and about; say hi! 😃 -- I tend to be shy, so: Use my camera (more often) to break the ice and interact meaningfully.

For some reason this one keeps jumping back up from the culling/editing floor. 😆 #photography #palmtree #rain #ICM17 Dec 2025 02:08 +0000at://did:plc:juqhebd42cjbatgomihunt7j/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma5lcdqdvk2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3m7pzlt6g6k2zDancing Palm During another visit to the park, I was just playing around with the scenes around me, this one being a palm tree in the backlight of a fading sunset.

This is the on-ramp to interstate 95 in my area. Going 30 mph all the way home was oddly very relaxing. 🚙 #photography #traffic #cars #streetphotography #sunset25 Nov 2025 05:42 +0000at://did:plc:juqhebd42cjbatgomihunt7j/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6gmywkwzc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3m65jsdoyac26Went to the park yesterday to work out and decompress. I parked, opened the hatchback, and proceeded to really take it out on the dumbbells. Weights, not people. 😏 Mid-reps, I notice these foxtail grasses heavily backlit by evening sun.

Past couple days I re-acquainted myself with a short lens…ended up relearning a few things along the way. For this one, I aimed to show off the delicate gilding that traces the croton’s edges.

Definitely a different look compared to the 135mm I’m usually shooting with…the perspective. #blackandwhite #40mm #crotonleaves06 Nov 2025 18:29 +0000at://did:plc:juqhebd42cjbatgomihunt7j/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4y7264mh22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3m4vvhmrpk22nWas out shooting Croton leaves again.🤷🏻‍♂️ I have been trying for some back lighting on the leaves to create a little glow. I dial in exposure compensation according to the brightness I want. Anyway, something drew me to this little silhouette. #colorphotography #leaves #Croton #nature #backlight05 Nov 2025 20:33 +0000at://did:plc:juqhebd42cjbatgomihunt7j/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4vvhmrpk22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/ilovephotography.com/post/3m4rjfsg75k27Croton chromatica From today, some croton leaves; I over exposed while shooting then adjusted in post for a high-key, somewhat exaggerated look.
