A beautiful, sprawling oak tree, long a most natural resident of that magical region along the Southern Atlantic coastal zone, spreads its limbs, bark darkened by years of ocean spray, over a small alligator territorial spit at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina. Alligators are not saltwater fans. This is a very horizontal image. The sky is a soft grayish blue with faint white clouds in the distant background, the middle distant coast of the other side of the park a thin horizontal line is just below center of the image. The tree is rooted in a small knoll just three feet above the waterline; not nearly enough height to provide a barricade to the waves of an ocean storm any longer. I've been shooting the ghosts forests, the ghost trees, all over, salt marsh tidal pools moving further and further inland. This is one BIG tree, which if you were to approach it, you'd be awed by is sheer audacity to survive no matter the declining odds. In a few years, it too will be a ghost tree.

A white us mailbox numbered 19201 with the cracked and peeling sticker numbers in addition to a black mail box that says us mail on a backdrop of a bright yellow will with a colorful building at eye level in the background. The building behind the wall repeats the colors white, pink, yellow, redish-brown. The colorful planks are marked over in black marker

This was actually an outtake that we both loved.

There's always something about these dead trees I see in hikes that fascinate me. Like testaments of deadly resilience. Like a warrior who made a last stand and died on his feet, proud and tall.

As night falls, the Astor Place Cube stands out. Passersby move in a hurried blur, while a figure in a striking red coat stands out against the backdrop of the iconic 1967 Alamo art sculpture, creating a captivating visual moment.

'Betzere,' from the 'Studio Beaufain' series of portraits of the models and muses who worked with me for 10 years in Charleston, South Carolina. This was shot in the sunroom of my Beaufain Street studio, up on the third floor, a wall of old Craftsman windows on three sides, with Colonial Lake just below. The light in the sunroom was incredible! The image is of a woman seated cross-legged, her arms crossed, almost entwined around her knees. This photograph was made with a little Canon A5 camera, one of the first digital cameras dating from 1995. I still have it, and plan to do a separate tier of photographs using it for "The Parkways Projects" on Patreon. It's up on Bluesky now @parkwaysprojects — by all means check it out! The core of the series is about the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Skyline Drive Parkways, Great Smoky Mountains and Shenandoah National Parks. There's many different layers to it, from the beginnings of all four NPS parks, its people, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the young men who built many of the classic timber-frame construction buildings. There will be many other related subjects, histories, stories and original archival photographs from the Open Parks Network, a collaboration between the National Park Service and Clemson University Library's Archives.

An old vehicle dissolves under a wooden garage which has protected the oddly intense celadon green color which really hearkens of a giant praying mantis. "The bug car” was what remained in mind for months. The pale, nearly whitish kaolin soil with the old dying grass in from seems a perfect foreground for this photograph.

“Celadon ride,” 2017 #DigitalPhotograph Part of the unblemished joy of riding around the country is finding the lost things. The first thing I thought on seeing this vehicle was praying mantis. #EastCoastKin
