Nice Frank. Thought about sepia toning this?

This is a great shot. When I first went to Phuket I was fascinated by the amount of wires and cables that stretched along and across the streets. Obviously a norm in Thailand? B&W image for me.

Fascinating image - but an unusual scene - where is it?

Funny you should ask that Frank. It was at the ABQ Botanic Gardens. Right after being there that day in 2015 I got pretty sick. Months later I couldn't remember where at the gardens this had been.
I searched.
I asked employees and volunteers, showing them the image at Flickr.
About a year later I found the location, at the entryway into what's called the Desert Conservatory. The bench was gone, maybe not longer after this shot. Hanging plants were by the window.
I finally noticed the mozaic and realized I had found it. It's pretty easy to walk right past.

This may be the best photo I've ever taken, with any camera.

That's a very cool, surreal image.

It's not always the gear - the opportunity and the composition can trump equipment. I have some expensive lenses specifically bought for portraits, but my favourite portrait was taken with a waterproof point and shoot! It's a bit NSFW so not on Flickr or for posting here, but it just captured a moment.

@Tropicalmemories ... I like your B&W original more than the sepia. You should do more of these types of images.

@johngpt ... that image reminds me of an image from one of the old "masters", I can't place exactly what image it was.

Last night, I just couldn't get enough photography, probably because a saw in sign at a kennel window saying "No Photography." The only camera I had on me was my phone.
