"It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." – Ursula K. Le Guin One of the many things I wanted to accomplish during my artist residency in Svalbard was to capture aerial footage of the Antigua at full sail. Much appreciation for the determined team effort to loft nine sails just as the sun set on the last full day of our journey. It was quite a challenge to land the drone safely on the crowded deck while traveling at speed. 👊 @ospix, The Antigua – Sassenfjorden, Spitsbergen, Svalbard – Sunset – 2022

I'M NUMBER TWO!🥈Runner up for the @LAPressClub Photojournalist of the Year award announced this weekend. 2nd time I've placed 2nd for the top photography honor.

WATCH OUT CALIFORNIA, HERE WE GOPRO 🚙 My first @GoPro! Should get some badass footage from this low angle car mount. But first, gotta wait for the tape to cure, caused I'm hoping that lanyard won't ever see any action. So much to learn! Any GoProPros super-knowledgeable about time lapse, time warp, etc – DM me. #ospix #adventuremobile #asubarunamedcosmos #contemporaryphotography @gopro #gopro #goprohero9 #adventure #goprophotography #goprolife #subaruoutback #subaruoutbackxt #subaruoutbackxtonyx #subarulife #subarulifestyle @subaru_usa💥 (at Chungking Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLU2G9AwL2/?igshid=t0mgbd1ic72i

Takeoff (LAX to MKE) 2010✈️Looking forward to doing this again sometime soon (but not quite yet!) Stay safe, my friends. We may well be on verge of beating this thing, but still need to stay the course for another month or two. It is always a pleasure to takeoff from LAX, but at sunrise with a storm coming off the Pacific, it is pure enchantment. Autonomous groups of clouds have formed on different levels, and in the distance there is virga: rain that evaporates before it reaches the earth. The dark landform at the center is Palos Verde Peninsula.

In Transit (AMS to LAX) 2014 ✈️Returning from Nairobi to Los Angeles via Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, our @KLM flight flew over the orderly agricultural and industrial landscape of the Netherlands. I trained a telephoto lens on what appears to be a rock-processing plant with railroad and maritime shipping facilities. “Miniature faking” has become a popular trick whereby life-size locations are made to look like scale models by blurring the top and bottom of the image using a tilt-shift lens or later in Photoshop. Here, air disturbance from the jet exhaust achieves the same illusion at the moment of capture, without the use of special equipment. This type of in-camera alchemy is at the heart of my photographic practice; adding another layer of casual surrealism to this depiction of modern commercial aviation.

CHEMISTRY AND LIGHT at @vonlintelgallery⚡️Grab your hat, mask up; and go see some art! Chuck Kelton and Joseph Minek’s outstanding exhibition is open for walk ins, masks and social distancing required. Where: Von Lintel Gallery, 1206 Maple Av # 212, L.A 90018. There is a garage in the @BendixBuilding accessible from 12th St. “Chemistry and Light brings together the work of Chuck Kelton and Joseph Minek -- two artists who practice versions of camera-free photography. They each elect instead to work directly with the raw materials of darkroom practice -- paper, chemicals, lightbulbs -- generating unique monoprints. Their energetic works carry resonance with abstract painting and natural phenomena.” And of course this beautiful work is best viewed in person.
