A slightly different take from “Southern Falls“, which I published in 2018. This one has a bit of foliage framing. As you can see, I’ve now made it into 2010 on this journey through my digital archives.

As I continued to dig through the archives, I found this one from a trip to Puerto Rico back in 2009. We’re looking at the loading pier/dock for the abandoned and since redeveloped Guanica Sugar Mill. Once one of the largest sugar mills in the […]

The beautiful Mendenhall Valley and the Mendenhall Glacier are rapidly changing. Looking at my photos from 2007 and those on Google Maps today reveal a very different front of the glacier as it recedes up the valley.

From 2007, this photo was taken from the deck of a cruise ship after the sun had set.

Back in 2006 I visited Toronto while I considered a Ph.D. program in Marketing. While there, I saw this new housing development and couldn’t resist taking a photo of the low winter sun illuminating the townhomes.

Working through the digital archives, here’s one from 2000 during a trip to Maine.

Digging through the archives, I came across a scan from 1998. Taken while on a spring break trip as part of the Illinois State University band, this photo shows Adare Trinitarian Abbey in County Limerick, Ireland. A photo of this image has been sitting above […]

The weather played tricks all day, with fits of snow blowing through in waves. In between, it was quite nice, albeit cold. Still, I had a chance to snap a few pics on my Fuji X-T3.

Coming around the bend, I found this tree overhanging the bank and nicely framing the view.

Twas a beautiful morning along the Fox River Valley today, and I couldn’t resist a few photos of my favorite tree. Here’s an in-the-field version from the camera to my phone. 1/200 F14 ISO100 at 105mm on Oct. 23, 2021 in Carpentersville, Ill.

One happy side effect of practicing still-life shots is that you then get to enjoy the subject matter afterward. This mum, for example, has lasted all week. I called this “You CAN Do Something with a Flower” as that was my youngest’s reaction when she […]

A tree and its shadow along the banks of the Fox River.   Eaves, Chris (Feb. 20, 2021). Branching Out [Photograph]. Carpentersville, Illinois. Shot on Canon 6D at 16mm, 1/1000 sec., f8 at ISO100 with a polarizing filter.  

My adventures in 4×5 homemade pinhole photography continue, this time with Rollei APX 25 film. Exposure time was ~55 minutes. The collage photo used two continuous dish lights, as my LED lights’ batteries drained about 20 minutes into the second shot. I’m using a Jobo […]

I ordered the 0.5mm pinhole on EBay as well as the film back, but everything else was from scratch. I didn’t have a proper router table and hobbled one together from scrap wood. Some of my cuts weren’t perfect, although it seemed to get the […]

The covered platforms of the former depot offer nice examples of asymmetrical architecture, including the overhead light and beams.
