My Year, in Prattling and Photos
It's been a year since... last year. Ironically, it seems I've found myself a new tradition of getting sick during the New Year holidays. At least, this year (that is, this inter-year period remarkable for its shiny decorations in the streets and houses, and closed supermarkets and pretty much everything), I'm doubtlessly doing better: I've managed to come visit my friends in Germany for Christmas (which I failed to do last year) and—after having some good quality time eating machanka, playing Munchkin and swinging machetes (the last one obviously crept into this checklist only for the sake of the phonological form)—I came back home via proverbial Deutche Bahn and probably less known Schweizerische Bundesbahnen, my body hosting a family of viruses, virions and who knows what other tiny critters somewhere inside my chest.

My Winter Wonderland
I love snow. I've come to learn that it's not a popular opinion among adults in my part of the world. And I do understand why. It causes a lot of problems: slick roads, downed power lines, roof damages. It also slows everything down. But I think I rather appreciate that part. I also think it's beautiful. I'm of the mindset that if it's going to be freezing outside it might as well look pretty.

The Pounds' Sterling
This is the last picture I took of my mom before the doctors started playing Mrs. Potato Head with her through brain surgeries and radiation that killed everything except, her. That’s why it's on my childless cat lady fridge as one of my favorite moments, even though we had many, many favorite moments since that picture.

Take a hike!
A few brief years ago our merry group set off to climb a ‘mountain’. Tabletop Mountain — in S.E. Queensland — is no Everest, but it was challenge enough for us. Spring’s searing sun was already high when we abandoned our cars at its base. As the track was neither marked nor maintained, we were grateful to a chirpy, fit teenager climbing with us. Having completed the hike on a previous occasion, she agilely scampered up the incline, calling encouragement down to us. We would have been clueless without her guidance.

The Magic of a Big Mound of Dirt. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
My stomach is tight. I haven't done this in a while. I light my first joint and fiddle with my camera even though it's already set up the way I like it. I ask the model about her day. The model is a friend of a friend. Her skin glows. She walks with a sense of coiled and casual power. She both does and doesn't know how beautiful she is. Her hair falls in soft curls. The white, linen dress she chose for our photoshoot tangles with her ankles in the wind. We slow down and scope out our first location: a tree next to the old Hooters of our hometown downtown.

A Lifetime of Shakas
For more than three decades as a part-time freelance news and sports photographer in Hawaiʻi, I’ve captured countless moments across the islands — and a few on the mainland. Along the way, almost without realizing it, I built an ever-growing photo archive of people flashing the shaka sign.

How to Make Any Photo Square Online Without Losing Important Content
From Instagram posts and profile pictures to thumbnails and avatars, many platforms now require images to be in a 1:1 square ratio. While cropping is often the default solution, it’s rarely the best one—especially when image content matters.

The People We Meet on Vacation: Moments, Connections, and Lasting Impressions Vacations are more than a break from daily routines.

Acropolis and Its New Museum
The other day, my son and I went to the Acropolis and the new Museum at its foothill in Athens, Greece. The Museum opened in 2009 to house the collection of artifacts found at different times on the Acropolis Hill. On its own, the building is a masterpiece in architectural design not only because it has a great flow for following the history and evolution of Greek culture through the centuries as they were buried and found on the Acropolis, but also because it has a full-size replica of the Parthenon on the upper floor.
