Spring

Having been snowed in since early November, I'm ready to say "goodbye" to cross-country skiing, and can't wait for spring!

Heart of Moscow (From the Archives)

This is the proverbial heart of Moscow.

You can even see the Kremlin looming in the background. I could wander here for hours.

Blueprints of these streets—both the old, narrow, winding, covered with cobble stone and broad, multi-lane highways—exist semi-consciously in my mind or, perhaps, on a more primal, physical level.  I walk and walk these streets somewhere at the intersection of sight and disjointed memories: I've been here before, and I'll be here again. 

You know, I think I'm really liking this self-imposed archival section of the blog. Not only does it allow me to reevaluate my previous work, but also to discover certain aesthetically pleasing photographs that have been hiding in my files!

From the Archives

Some days, I miss my hometown more than others, especially when I don't know exactly when I'd be able to visit next. This bout of nostalgia prompted me to dig up a number of yet-to-be-edited photographs, and here we are. Posting images of the Kremlin might seem a bit contrived, but no less beautiful, at the same time, particularly at night.

From the Archives

I'm introducing a new category to this blog called From the Archives. It is meant for posting work that is not the most recent.

Updating my Pinterest and nature-and-wildlife Tumblr profiles, I was reminded of all those autumn-color photographs I've captured in Japan during previous travels. 'Tis the season, after all. This particular one comes from the tourist-ridden-but-oh-so-glorious Kyoto.

So why should you be deprived of them? ;)
