What is your approach? Just curious, do you have any specific plan when it comes to posting on Instagram or any social media platforms? I personally have non. The only thing a like to do is to post one black and white image after four color images. Editing in BNW makes me break my usual routine and I think it makes my feed looks nicer. What do you think?

You might be wondering how all this came about? This was one of those perfect mornings that started as a complete chaos! At the very end, low hanging clouds and sun cutting the thick fog at the horizon were enough to make me forget all occurring problems I was having at that time. Without going in too many details I will let the view speak for it self. What do you think?

Throwback? After all this moody weather I’m still in that mood so let’s go back to some past storms! As I’m always looking for sunrise, sunset, or anything in between I have passed this location numerous times waiting for something interesting to happen. You just have to be here when the conditions are right. That evening was really special! It was moody, and I was anticipating a change in the sky after the monsoon rain. I was all wet and I knew I had to find a shelter and wait, so I did. And than it all finally happened! What do you think?

“What struck me, as I walked up and down the history of painting, was how much it was about fading light, and that the history of painting is also the history of the loss of light. For slowly but surely… the light is squeezed out of painting to become finally a mere candle-flicker. A world once full of light becomes a world of shadows.” – Ian McKeever

Hope your week started good. Weather here in Chicago is back to rain and gray, but hey weekend was awesome! Since I’m still under the impression here is one of my sunrise frames from yesterday. A little color on this gray morning. What do you think?

How did you start your day? Weather on this side of the globe is still looking good and the fact that there is no free time to actually enjoy it is really frustrating! To keep everything on a bright side I can tell you a funny story. While trying to capture this frame I was really close to raging Lake Michigan. For a while I managed to monitor crazy waves and not get wet. But for one second I got relaxed and that same second a wave crashed behind me and hit me with the full force leaving me completely soaked. I still think it was good to be out. What do you think?

I’ve heard stories about weather in Chicago, and today I was able to experience so many extremes weather wise that I had to stay outside the entire day and shoot more than 10 hours, on several different locations. I was deliberating on going back to this location tonight because of the storm that was brewing. Boy, I’m glad I did! In just under two hours I was able to witness the crazy thunderstorms , double rainbow and the sunset that was beyond anything I saw before. I hope I was able to manage to capture everything and I can’t wait to show it to you. For the beginning, this is a lucky shot of the lightning that was an opening for this crazy evening.

Recently I had an opportunity to see the world through a totally different viewfinder, and I loved it!. It is not something new, but I find it very exciting. I was curious to see what I can do with it. What do you think?

Did you have fun yesterday? While getting up at 4am wasn’t as fun initially, going out and being greeted with this light was amazing. It was an early start with the preparation for the Air & Water show 2019 so to set the mood for the entire day was easy after this experience. What do you think?

You heard this one before? I always get a good laugh when I hear people being surprised with the snow storm in December. I was also pretty bummed when I saw that the snow finally arrived and I wasn’t able to be out and enjoy it! This is a frame from the last, long and cold winter just for todays mood. It was shot from the one and only NA Beach. What do you think?

Did you thought that it’s over to? I kinda got my hopes high that it is. But I guess we will still have to wait for a bit till that happens. I captured this light leak few weeks back. All the apps were predicting crazy color for this sunrise so I went out before my work. I might say that it wasn’t as I expected but it was pretty good. What do you think?
