'THREE TREES'

A monochrome photograph of three silver birch trees standing close together in Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, their tall, pale trunks rising vertically and slightly overlapping. The scene appears soft and blurred rather than sharply defined, so the trees look gently stretched and flowing, as if their shapes are drifting upward. Fine details like bark texture and branches are reduced, leaving smooth, light-toned trunks against a darker, indistinct background, which makes the trees feel more like graceful forms than solid objects.

Mandarinfish Reimagined: An Oceanic Abstraction

The Elusive Mandarinfish

Synchiropus splendidus

Mandarinfish are known for their vivid colors and elusive behavior, spending most of the day hidden within coral. In the fading light of Indonesia’s Lembeh Strait, they become more active—offering a brief window to observe one of the reef’s most striking residents.

Original footage recorded in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia.

From Observation to Abstraction

I couldn’t look away from the patterns. As the mandarinfish moves through the reef, its colors flow like silk in motion—fiery spirals arranged with an almost hidden rhythm, just beneath perception.

The remix below pulls that rhythm apart and extends it into the background. Digital patterns repeat and multiply beneath the frame, echoing the fish’s geometry and color. The familiar reef environment fades, leaving only the motion of the animal itself.

“Experience the boundary between marine life and digital geometry.”

Which experience resonates more with you?

Does the digital remix capture the essence of the Mandarinfish, or do you prefer the natural serenity of the original clip? Let me know in the comments.

#1 L’impressionnisme sous amphĂ©tamines

On dirait que Monet a Ă©ternuĂ© sur sa toile, ou que ces bleuets et coquelicots ont dĂ©cidĂ© d’organiser une rave party dĂšs que j'ai eu le dos tournĂ©.

A close study of a birch trunk where a branch has torn away. The bark around the opening is rough and darkened with charcoal, while the inner core is left saturated and detailed. The exposed wood carries deep reds and browns that suggest a kind of wound. It reminded of the pain of separation — something that echoes Buddhist reflections on impermanence.

A close view of damaged birch bark where a branch has torn away. The outer bark is rough, grey, and textured. At the centre is a long vertical wound exposing dark red and brown inner wood, with small streaks of gold and lighter fibres. The contrast between the pale bark and the saturated inner core makes the opening resemble a deep gash. The surrounding bark has been darkened and smudged with charcoal, while the exposed wood remains vivid.

Experimenting with Double Filters

Yesterday morning I woke up at 5 a.m. It was dark, cold, and quiet — the kind of silence that makes you wonder if you should just crawl back into bed. But the sky was clear with some clouds forming near the horizon, and experience told me this could become one of those fiery sunrises worth losing sleep over.

So I packed my Canon 5DsR with the Sigma Art 24–70 mm and headed to the Loonse en Drunense Duinen. Besides chasing light, I had something else in mind — a little experiment. I wanted to see what would happen if I combined a polarizing filter with a transparent plastic petri dish (from Corning).

If you’ve ever looked at a car’s rear window through polarized sunglasses and seen those oily rainbow patterns — that’s birefringence at work. When two polarizing surfaces interact with certain plastics, they reveal hidden stress patterns in vivid colors.

So I rotated both filters until the sky exploded into gradients of purple, turquoise, and gold. No Photoshop tricks here — just light, plastic, and curiosity playing together.

Sometimes, science and art meet right in front of your lens.

Souffle vertical.
J’ai laissĂ© mon corps bouger avec les arbres.
Leur élancement traversait mes bras, leurs racines vibraient sous mes pas.
Chaque ligne verte devenait un nerf, chaque brise, une pulsation.
Photographier, ici, c’était respirer.
