It was an nightly adventure that took me to almost every angle of Los Angeles. It was an exercise in patience. A lesson in light. An understanding of what it is to live amongst each other and to understand the system and order of a city, the seemingly complex organics that make it up and the life form that the city truly is. A visualization of sonder. It was a daily jaunt to watch the arterial freeway systems pump car cells through its body and channel them to the capillaric avenues that are our neighborhoods and homes. It was a chance to break away from the 70mph freeway perspective and to observe the sun slip from view and watch the electric dance of nightfall begin. It was challenging. It was frustrating. Definitely dangerous at times. Sometimes it hurt. I was chased. Yelled at. Warned. But the overall context of things learned, people met, things seen, and places discovered over the past three years shaped who I am today. I didn't always love Los Angeles but I learned to and discovered that this city is much more than temperate weather, palm trees, pretty girls, and beaches; to me the true beauty behind the city lies hidden on the other end of a rusted fire escape to a view no one else has seen. I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my film making career where I will be concentrating on narrative and documentary films. Thanks for watching, reading, and supporting my films. Cheers, Colin I will be running a limited series of high quality Kodak Endura VC metallic prints based on each series of shots.

Spanish Doors
Of all the architectural details, it is the doors and windows we interact with the most. It isn't surprising to me how beautiful they can be. Here, Andre Vicente Goncalves, a Portuguese photographer, makes the point with gorgeous sets of doors and windows from around Europe.

“The Power of Nature” by Sergio Tapiro Velasco
“When I looked on the camera display, all I could do was stare,” Velasco tells Nat Geo. “What I was watching was impossible to conceive, the image showed those amazing forces of nature interacting on a volcano, while the lightning brightened the whole scene. It’s an impossible photograph and my once in a lifetime shot that shows the power of nature.”
Grand prize winner Sergio Tapiro Velasc shot this on December 13th, 2015, outside Colima, Mexico, at the Volcán de Colima.
3rd Place. Photo and caption by Misha De-Stroyev/ National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year. Henningsvær Football Field. "This football field in Henningsvær in the Lofoten Islands is considered one of the most amazing fields in Europe, and maybe even in the world. The photo was taken during a 10-day sailing trip in Norway in June 2017. We arrived at Henningsvær after a week of sailing through the cold and rainy weather. Upon our arrival, the weather cleared up. I was really lucky that the conditions were suitable for flying my drone, and I managed to capture this shot from a height of 120 meters."
PEOPLE - 2nd Place. Photo and caption by Julius Y./ National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year. Interesting moment. "Museum visitors curiously watching Rembrandt’s painting 'Syndics of the Drapers’ Guild' where it gave the illusion that the people on the paintings too are curiously watching the visitors."
NATURE - Honorable Mention 2. Photo and caption by Yutaka Takafuji/ National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year. Forest of the Fairy. "Shooting in the forest This photograph was taken in the evening hours of a humid early summer day in the forest of a small remote village in the Tamba area of Japan. It beautifully captures the magical atmosphere of Princess fireflies carpeting a stairway leading to a small shrine revered by the local people."
NATURE - 3rd Place. Photo and caption by Tarun Sinha/ National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year. Crocodiles at Rio Tarcoles. "This image was captured in Costa Rica when I was traveling from Monteverde to Playa Hermosa. As you cross over this river, you can stop and peer over the edge of the bridge. Below, reside over 35 gigantic crocodiles, relaxing on the muddy banks of the river. I wanted to capture the stark difference between the crocodiles on land and in the water. In the murky waters, the body contours of these beasts remain hidden, and one can only truly see their girth as they emerge from the river."
From The Ekman Atlas of Emotions:
"The Dalai Lama imagined "a map of our emotions to develop a calm mind." He asked his longtime friend and renowned emotion scientist Dr. Paul Ekman to realize his idea. Ekman took on the creation of the Atlas alongside his daughter, Eve Ekman, a second-generation emotion researcher and trainer. The Atlas represents what researchers have learned from the psychological study of emotion."
With clarity, nuance and verve, this equips humans to experience and understand their emotions more fully.
