NYC Bound!

Daily Photo – NYC Bound!

Heading to NYC soon for a Machine Elf event in Brooklyn is going to be a one-of-a-kind experience that combines art, technology, and imagination. This event promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. But that’s not all! I’m also hard at work preparing for an unforgettable Machine Elf event at Burning Man. It’s the perfect place to showcase the full range of Machine Elf creations with our signature blend of psychedelic visuals and mind-altering concepts, we are ready to take participants on a JOURNEY they won’t soon forget.

And let’s not forget the annual photo walk! Every year, I gather with fellow photography enthusiasts in the awe-inspiring desert to capture the essence of Burning Man through our lenses. The barren landscapes and striking art of the playa provide the perfect backdrop for capturing stunning shots that encapsulate the spirit of this unique gathering. It’s always a joy to see familiar faces and meet new friends as we explore the surreal beauty of our surroundings together.

So, gear up, get ready, and join me on these exciting adventures ahead. Follow @machine_elf_worlds on IG for updates and stay tuned for more details. See you in the concrete jungle of Brooklyn and the dusty embrace of Burning Man!

Ancient Muds of Death Valley

Daily Photo – Ancient Muds of Death Valley

Death Valley is a pretty harsh place. It’s especially harsh if you happen to live your life as mud.

Hot Folds

Daily Photo – Hot Folds

I took this while I was cooking alive in Death Valley, California. It must have been like 130 degrees outside (but quite dry) or something. That’s next level stuff but the rock formations were just so fascinating I had to keep exploring.

The Modern Paris

Daily Photo – The Modern Paris

The modern business area of Paris is certainly worth a trip! It’s not long on the metro to emerge into this area. Initially I never really wanted to go down here, even though I kept hearing good things about it. To me, it wasn’t really Paris, you know… modern buildings and all. But, once I got down here, I was very pleasantly surprised. There are a ton of cool buildings and a thousand great compositions waiting to be had!

Sunset at Alcatraz

Daily Photo – Sunset at Alcatraz

I was over on Treasure Island one evening taking photos when I saw the sun sinking through a lot of moisture in the air. I also saw Alcatraz out in the water, so I jumped in a car to drive around and find a spot where everything lined up together. Turned out not too bad and ended up being a great night too!

Exploring the Mont at Night

Daily Photo – Exploring the Mont at Night

I think if you ever go to Mont Saint-Michel that you should really try to stay up on the island. Hotel space is extremely limited, but it gives you the chance to walk around the old walled town deep into the night. All the tourists are gone, and the only people around are the supposed 30 people that live there, according to Google.

Vertical Sunsets

Daily Photo – Vertical Sunsets

I don’t make a lot of these vertical, portrait-mode sunsets. I don’t know why! Whenever I do make one in this orientation, I’m often quite happy with it… and I say to myself, “I should do this more often!” But then I come back after a hardcore sunset session, and I realize 90% of my shots are in landscape mode.

Aurora over Queenstown

Daily Photo – Aurora over Queenstown

I’d been awake for two days. It all started the day before after I put the kids to bed. I got a Facebook message from Stefan Haworth. It turns out that he and Eden Brackstone were headed out for a little viewing of the big solar storm that was hitting the atmosphere.

Down thisaway, it’s called the Aurora Australis (not Borealis). Back then I’d never before seen an aurora (despite countless attempts in Iceland), I was ready to suit up!

And it turns out that one of the best places we saw them was right near here in Queenstown! We drove down along Lake Wakatipu until we were just past Wye Creek. I got out of the car, let my eyes adjust, then saw colored shafts of light shooting up through the edge of our snow-globe. It wasn’t like I expected! It’s…. hard to explain.

I can’t remember if I was up late, or up early on this day but whatever the case it was worth the effort!
