"Last Vegas"
I promise you this will be the last of the Vegas photos for a while so let's get through it together.

They start to get pretty stylistic and less representative. My focus tends to follow my mood and after capturing the "bigger" scenes, I get (bored) detailed and start to tell stories rather than show what's there.

I start to edit in ways that tickle my brain and match a mood rather than in ways that are "hey, here's a thing! Look at that thing!"

I can speak in depth to each photo I take. Well, no, each photo I share. I can say why it works compositionally and why I like it and why I edited it a certain way.

But my posts are "too long" as it is according to absolutely everyone that "does" social media so I'll just respond in comments and dms if we are all so inclined.

That's it from the edge of the world.

Stay Classy, gang.

"The Venetian"

The lights are constantly changing all up and down the strip like a 4 mile long Times Square. It can be overwhelming, overstimulating for sure, but I found some moments where all the colors were similar at the same time.

Such as this aptly titled shot.

I have a funny story about the Venetian from my previous visit to Vegas but I can't/won't share that here. Good times.

Anyway, stay classy gang.

"Reflections in Vegas"

I was attempting to get all the "classic" shots of Vegas but the strip has changed so much since the last time I stayed there (they were just finishing the Aria) so it ended up being less planned.

I'm happy with the results (many more to come, sorry not sorry) however unplanned and different they are from what I've seen of the strip.

But that's me and now I use the Soashes, just saying what's on my mind and showing what I see.

First shot is a reflection, obvi, the other two are not. Feel free to get as meta on that juxtaposition as you want.

Stay frosty, Fam.

"Viva Las Black and White"

Unpopular opinion, I'm not a huge fan of Vegas. I've been a few times with intention, like this week, but mostly have just driven through on my way to other adventures. I've never taken photos here so I brought my camera and made myself go out on the strip.

I'm happy with these photos y'all. I have color ones coming I know most of you don't like B&W but it's my feed so. There.

These are just test shots and a quick edit, I was getting a feel for things but, again, I feel like they turned out well.

Enjoy!
Stay fresh cheese bags.

"Color Photo. Y'all Earned It." It's also National Compliment Day so you have to say nice things. Comments are open.

After the isolated, black and white, fuzzy memory photos, I figured I owed you guys a full on, full color photo.

So here's a door. Thanks for hanging in there, Fam.

"Fuzzy Memories"

Another black and white but I'm telling you, Gang, it was frosted gras, cloudy sky, fog - it was all pretty grayscale even in camera.

But I really like how this came out. Got the person walking, the ducks, there's life but also nostalgia in it.

Good vibes, good feels.

Stay golden!

"Black and White Tree But At Night. And Near a Street Rather Than a Pond or Stream"
Y'all may think I'm playing with these titles but these are the official titles I actually use if I submit for competitions.

As the aforementioned aptly chosen title suggests, this is a tree that I walk past most nights. I was trying to get the spider-webby (that's a real adjective.) look that I see every night but I wanted it with texture like rain, fog, or snow. What I found was that I actually couldn't get the look because the "atmosphere" I wanted for artistic expression diffused the light so it didn't catch the branches the same.

But I know this tree well and have taken a lot of scouting photos. Sad about the footprints in the snow (yeah they're mine, but, again, wasn't looking for this composition exactly.) but I like it a lot

Catch you on the flip side, Gang

"Faded Memories"

More black and white, but, hold on to your seats Sports Fans because there's going to be more. It was a foggy morning/day and while I'm not feeling particularly reflective, the photos are tending to cause that in me.

Which is fun.

I like the composition here - the curving sidewalk as a leading line, the dark trash bin to anchor it, and the common subject of a playground but with varying shapes and almost in the background. The bin in juxtaposition with the empty playground equipment and faded trees - I don't know, Gang, I like this one.

Any "art" that makes me stop, look, and in some way reflect, think, or what-have-you, I appreciate. Even my own.

"Bittersweet Bench"

That's right, gang, no color option on this one - it's clearly a black and white photo and I love it.

The fog and frost give that tone of memory for me. I think about who sat on this bench forever ago or yesterday, what conversations were had, plans made, reminisces had, all that. People that sat there no longer with us - that sort of thing. Very memory-esque so black and white not only fits compositionally but also tonally for me.

It's bittersweet. Clever, I know.

"This is not 'The Land.' This is Glenmere."

Nothing fancy, just some snowy shots of the ice covered ponds at a park nearby.

I'd like to thank the Kardashians for the title and ask their pardon for adapting it.

I'd also like to thank North Face for making good gear because it was -7 degrees out there, gang. Negative. Seven.

Stay Frosty, Fam.

Organizing my Canva home page and found these gems.

I'll sprinkle them in. Everyone loves content that nobody asked for.

Stay golden, Gang.

"The Lighthouse and What Surrounded It"

The Hebrides are islands off the west coast of Scotland - my favorite is Harris but specifically around Talbert. Just across a bridge is Scalpay - a small island with this lighthouse.

Some of these photos are what I call "printers" but most are just capturing the feeling of the moment.

Would I put on my cable knit sweater and wool gloves with the fingers cut and drink coffee at the top and live at that protected stone house at the bottom?

Absolutely I would.

Wouldn't even need to buy any new outfits.
