My favorite from "No Kings" in Denver.

A rack of electric bikes. In the near background is a sign that reads "Bike with Mike / to Support Mental Health"

A small building with a pointed roof sits at the top of a hill. In the foreground a deep ravine filled with rocks is crisscrossed by tree shadows.

A shape to bind chaos.

A Weber grill on its side with splayed legs and its skirt up over its head. Clearly this is not its first tumble off the deck but it may be its last.

Goodbye March.

Have fun!

My tip is to enjoy experimenting. Keep a little notebook of the film, the developer and time, etc. so you can learn from your results. Watch YouTube videos. Eduardo Pavez Goye has a lot of older videos where he experiments with different cameras and films.

The sign reads, "Heron Haven Wetland Restoration Project." It is weatherbeaten and the bottom corners have worn off.

A window opening in a photo blind.

It's a fence with cutouts in it so you can photograph the wildlife without spooking them.

This one is about 6 ft. tall and looks out over a pond.

What a thoughtful perspective. Thank you for that.

A protest sign hearkening back to high school typing class: Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country!

Wishing you all a successful No Kings Day.

Street art pisses me off so bad. That space was supposed to be for gray

A forlorn image of the batting cage in winter. Seven or eight cypresses stand huddled together at one corner.

Trees cast their long shadows across a path leading toward the horizon. At top right, the sun shines quietly through the branches.

A brightly painted railroad trestle with patches of green and turquoise. An red vertical provided by the iron fence post, and a strong turquoise diagonal that leads out of the lower right corner.
