À la recherche du leafs perdu. 15 February 2026. #photography #outdoorPhotography
A somewhat overdramatic photo of a few bare branches of a sapling in winter, against an unpainted wooden fence. The light on the branches and fence is lovely, dappled, and warm.

Contemplating the Forms. 2 February 2026. #cats
Photo of a big white cat. He's laying on top of a cat condo next to a sunny window, with shadows from the window cast on the wall beside him. Rather than staring out the window, the cat is staring at the shadows on the wall.

Hello did you bring pets and attentions for Jasper. 22 January 2026. #cats
Photo of big white cat is sitting in loaf mode on a brown pad (it's heated) and a grey blanket. He's looking inquisitively, not quite at the camera but as though at something in the other hand of the person taking the picture.

Landscape photograph in portrait (tall) orientation, of a mountain scene in the snow. Just beyond the edge of a groomed road, three trees stand in a snow-covered meadow. The most prominent is a snag, about 8-10 feet tall, with the upper part of the tree long since broken off. A small conifer is growing next to it, maybe 3 feet tall. In the midground, not quite on the far side of the meadow, is a young-mature conifer perhaps 15-20 feet tall. Tall, thin conifers line form the edge of the meadow in the background.

Soon. Glacier Point Road, Yosemite NP, 10 January 2026. #photography #landscape #landscapePhotography #Yosemite
Photograph of a high mountain road, covered in snow and groomed for skiing, in the late afternoon and looking west. The backlit trees create heavy contrast, while the sun is a blob of ultrabright plasma behind one of the further trees. On the right, as the road continues, it looks like the trees open up to a view.

When you're cozy and mad about it. 16 December 2025.
A big white cat is all bundled up in a green and gray sleeping bag, just his head poking out. One ear his cocked and his eyes are slightly closed and he's looking to the side, as though annoyed at something the stupid primate is doing.

Happy Friday, here is a cutest sweetest most ferociousest Jag Cat. 13 December 2025. #cats #photography
Black and white photo of a black cat laying on the back of a (blue) couch. His head is cocked over, so the top of his head is pointed into the couch cushion but one ear is just below horizontal. The lower half of his face is obscured by tail and curled forepaw, but the other eye is cracked open to look at me taking his photo.

Photo of a big white cat laying on a white and blue crocheted blanket. The only light source is something orange-ish off to the right of the frame, so there's a strong chiaroscuro-but-cozy feel to the scene.

30 November 2025 #landscape #landscapePhotography #photography
Photograph of rolling California hills in early winter. The grass is starting to turn green through the grey remains of last year's growth, and there are large patches of oak here and there. A path leads back into the image, bright red packed earth contrasting with the young grass. The sky is partly clear, but a very low cloud/rising fog is refracting the sunlight, giving the whole image a gauzy glow.

Photograph of a large manzanita bush. It has bright red, smooth, thin but very hard bark. It doesn't exactly have a single clear trunk, but instead six or eight big stems, each about the thickness of your arm, coming out of the same stump. The background is thick, grey-brown brush.

A dramatic photograph of a landscape of rolling grey-green hills, layered in fog and clouds. The closest line of the hillside has a series of big oak trees, while the very foreground is a wide expanse of grasses that's just starting to turn green after being brown and dormant through the dry season

Jasper contemplates AI and the myth of Narcissus. 29 November 2026 I'm going on a long hiking trip and probably won't post here until August 12.
A big white cat's head is positioned between the camera and an iPad with Shannon Vallor's book /The AI Mirror/. His eyes look thoughtfully off into the distance and his ears are cocked out slightly as though he were a little annoyed.

Too-tok-a-noo-la (El Capitan), Yosemite NP, 24 November 2025 #photography #landscapePhotography #landscape #Yosemite
Landscape photograph in portrait (tall) orientation. A granite cliff rises steeply against a deep blue sky. The image has heavy contrast, so the foreground is just silhouettes of conifers against the cliffside.

Photograph of partially-bare oak branches against a deep blue sky. There are still quite a few leaves left, golden brown and curled, but patchy, so that some of them glow with diffused light.

Landscape photo of three bare saplings in a forest. The saplings are pale green and have lost all of their leaves for fall (unless you count a couple that have gotten stuck on their smol branches). There are a couple of green bushes in the background, and the trunks of many mature trees on all sides.

A sapling, possibly a maple, in a forest. The sapling has recently had all of its leaves in brilliant yellow fall color, and now they're all on the ground at its base, as though every leaf fell off straight down at once.

Hello did you know I like snags. 23 November, 2025 #landscape #landscapePhotography #photography #Yosemite
A photo of a handful of tall conifers, shot from below and looking almost straight up. The image has had a bleach bypass filter applied, creating a very strong contrast so that the trees are just profiles against the sky, and the sky itself is a hypersaturated indigo. The two most prominent trees are snags, dead trees standing. One has lost most of its branches, forming a jagged spear. The other is messy, with many shorter limbs and even some needles left in a few places. A few other trees, more in the background, are fully alive, with branches and needles that form intricate fractal patterns in the high contrast. Two jet contrails cross through the middle of the frame.

A landscape photograph. The entire right half is a close-up view of a cedar trunk, which has thick, corrugated, fibrous bark. The left half has a trail moving back, past a small oak tree with a dozen or so orange-yellow leaves, and further into a forest.

Ahwahnee (Yosemite Valley), November 23, 2025 #photography #landscapePhotography #landscape #Yosemite
Landscape photograph, composed in the "grand landscape" style, with a sweeping view of granite cliff walls towering over pines and a field. The field is in a deep shadow and difficult to see clearly, with a light layer of frost on the dormant yellow grass. The near section of the cliff is bathed in bright sunlight. Strong vignetting around the whole image makes this scene feel cramped and claustrophobic somehow, rather than open and inspiring the way grand landscape compositions usually do.

I think I like this one better than Monday's. 18 November 2025. #photography #landscapePhotography #urbanLandscapes
A photograph of a sunscreen grating made of sheet metal, with small circular holes punched through and the sheet itself bent back and forth to form ridges and troughs. Through the grating we can see a Valley Oak in full fall colors and the side of an early twenty-first century office building.

Not sure about this one. 18 November 2025. #photography #landscape #urbanLandscape #landscapePhotography
A photograph of a grating, a large metal sheet with circular holes punched through, as a sunshine. Through the grating we can make out the shapes of buildings and a very bright blob of the sun. The grating is somewhat corrugated, so the different angles of the holes relative to the sun and the varying brightness of the background create horizontal stripes of different lighting effects across the grating.

Bark? 12 November 2025. #photography
Photo in portrait (tall) orientation, featuring the trunk of a palm tree in an exurban setting. It doesn't seem like it has bark, so much as an open lattice of dried stubs of its wide blade leaves. The image has been somewhat desaturated, so that the palm is almost grey and the colors of leaves of other trees as well as the houses are muted.

Leafs. 12 November 2025 #photography
Photograph in portrait (tall) orientation of a tree in an exurban location. The three has a thin, sinuous trunk, and a branch with dormant leaves is hanging down in front of and parallel to the trunk. The leaves are large, longer than a hand, but narrow, curled and dry, mahogany red and thick. Several of the leaves are highlighted by a patch of direct sunlight, and they almost glow.

Photograph of a bush against a brown cement block wall. The bush mostly has green leaves, but there are a few brand new ones that are bright red. The wall has a few lines of ivy, which are also a pretty red-orange because this was taken in November. Above and behind the wall, we can see a few windows of a yellow stucco house, and a slice of blue sky.

The fence content you've all been clamoring for. 12 November 2025. #photography
It's literally a photograph of a 6' wooden fence. But it's done in nice light with a nifty lens, the colors are calm and warming, and there's vignetting which makes it feel intimate. It's a photograph of a wooden fence you could meditate on.

A picture of a cactus or other succulent against a grey-brown fence. The cactus looks like it's made of finger-shaped lobes recursively attached to each other, and has sporadic 2" long spines. But mostly the highlight of the photo is how nice the light looks.

A photo portrait of a big white cat, looking alertly at something out-of-frame, nearly in profile. The side of his face facing the camera is in very sharp focus, and his whiskers are very distinct; but the depth of field is very shallow, so that his nose and oppose eye and ear are quite blurry.

A or B? Yosemite National Park, 1 November 2025. #landscape #landscapePhotography #photography #Yosemite
A landscape photograph with a complex, branching snag (standing dead tree) on the right, live conifer on the left, and granite right along the back, with a perfectly clear blue sky above and behind. The image has a mild bleach bypass filter, enhancing the contrast between light and dark. Exactly the same photo, but now with heavier contrast and a warm color tint applied. The sky is a metallic indigo, and the mountainside and snag have a warmer tone.

Cathedral Peak, Yosemite NP, 1 November 2025 #landscape #landscapePhotography #photography #Yosemite
Landscape photograph in portrait (tall) orientation. A sharp, craggy granite peak rises out off a cliffside, above a wall of conifers and a golden brown dormant meadow. The elements of the scene form almost horizontal bands of color: golden brown across the bottom third, then bands of green trees and gray granite, with deep blue sky at the top.

Tresidder Peak NW (Peak 10450), Yosemite NP, 1 November 2025 #photography #landscapePhotography #landscape #YosemiteNP
Landscape photograph of a subalpine scene. A granite peak with steep, snowy cliffs reclines behind a high meadow with clusters of conifers. The grass of the meadow is dormant as we approach winter, short and golden brown. The foreground has a wide, flat pond feeding into a tightly-defined creek winding off behind the trees. There are lens flares near the upper left part of the image, from the sun just out of frame.

A highly stylized landscape photograph in portrait (tall) orientation, featuring several standing dead conifers and a few live ones. In post-processing, the image has gone through a pseudo-infrared black and white filter, making the trees look washed out and almost monochromatic, while the sky is a deep metallic blue.

Photograph of the sun shining through the spare branches of a conifer. There are a dozen or so spikes of light radiating out from the sun, the needles are backlit and glowing, and the scene as a whole has heavy contrast.
