“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” (by Daniela Duncan)
final 303 (by Christopher Frank Beitz)
I watch the sky and imagine what patterns the clouds and stars will make on my film.
I watch the water, the leaves on the trees, passing cars, changing shadows, smoke from chimneys, whatever is around. Wind, rain, mist, etc., all have effects on the eventual image.
We live pretty fast-paced lives so it is a luxury to be able to slow down and better appreciate some of the more subtle effects of nature that we can so easily miss or take for granted.

Breathtaking But Fake
Leading today’s Washington Post print edition (you remember those, don’t you?) is this beautiful photo by Bill O’Leary of the 14th Street bridge, accompanying coverage of the 30th anniversary of the Air Florida disaster. But competing for interest with the image itself is the lengthy explanation in the caption that what you see isn’t entirely real:
A jetliner flies high over a tranquil scene at the 14th Street bridge, where 30 years ago winter weather and human error conspired to bring down Air Florida Flight 90 in a disaster that claimed 78 lives. This image is a composite created by taking several photos and combining them with computer software to transcend the visual limitations of standard photography.
It’s not exactly moving the pyramids, and the disclosure is front and center, but does it bother you that this is going on in the mainstream press?

Yacht House Design in Singapore
Situated on top of Siglap Hill in Singapore with magnificent city view, this unique house resembles a yacht. Designed by Aamer Architects, the bedrooms on the ground level are connected to the swimming pool. The living and dinning areas on the second level are connected with the outdoor verandahs. The house has a lovely resort style feel with elegant simplicity.
