Upscaled Image of Occultation of Jupiter

This upscaled image from a 4:23 AM photo of the lunar occultation of Jupiter that occurred on October 6, 2026 captures Jupiter just moments before it was completely covered by the moon.

It has been processed using specific astrophotography enhancement techniques:

• True Optical Scale: The relative sizes of the moon's craters and Jupiter are mathematically accurate for a high-magnification telescope setup. When viewed through a powerful lens, Jupiter genuinely appears at this scale relative to the lunar edge.

• Utilized Composite Digital Exposure Stacking to overcome the differences in lighting intensity of the moon and Jupiter.

• Also utilized AI Sharpening & Enhancement: The use of algorithms to sharpen the blurry atmospheric noise (called "seeing") to smooth out the lunar details and reconstruct the crisp, geometric gas bands on Jupiter based on existing planetary models.

Great Horned Owl (Rehabilitated Photo)

Marshlands Conservancy, Rye, NY

When I took this photo on 27 November 2010, I was looking up into the trees and had only a camera and telescopic zoom lens. I had none of the special lighting equipment and so even after digitally brightening the image, the photo remained less than desirable. Now with AI and asking it to change the back lighting to front lighting, this photo has been rehabilitated as if I had the special equipment in the first place. :)

I also had AI remove the branch in front of the owl's face.

From 27-30 July the weather/atmospheric conditions were very unstable resulting in frequent thunderstorms and deluges. There was even a rare EF 0 tornado in Rye Brook (Westchester County), NY.

Botanical Drift: Nature's Ephemeral Palette

New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), Bronx, NY

Description provided by Gemini AI (Google):

This photograph captures a striking, top-down view of scattered organic debris and vibrant blossoms floating gracefully on a dark, reflective water surface.

The Palette: The arrangement features an eclectic mix of yellow and deep red orchid-like flower segments, intermingled with faded pink petals, withered brown leaves, and a few small, starkly contrasting purple star-shaped flowers.

The Atmosphere: The dark background enhances the rich colors and complex textures of the botanical elements, creating a moody, dramatic, and poetic atmosphere that highlights the natural beauty found in cycles of decay and renewal.

Culinary Joy

Created April 25, 2026 from settings at Larchmont, NY (l.), New Rochelle, NY (top c.), Larchmont, NY (bottom c.) and Jacksonville, FL (r.)

This vibrant collage – “Culinary Joy” captures the multi-faceted essence of celebration, artistry, and indulgence through the universal language of food and drink. Divided into four distinct moments, it tells a story of culinary craftsmanship that ranges from the deeply traditional to the playfully modern.

The Grand Display: On the left, a majestic roasted turkey serves as the centerpiece of an elaborate feast. The scene is alive with intricate garnishes: an elegant swan meticulously carved from fruit that is among vivid red tomato roses, and segmented citrus carefully arranged amidst fresh greenery and rosemary. It evokes the warmth of a festive holiday gathering where food is transformed into visual theater.

Contemporary Elegance: In the top center, the narrative shifts to a refined, modern plate. A beautifully seared protein rests atop a bed of roasted root vegetables and bright cherry tomatoes, crowned with a single, delicate blue edible flower. This dish represents precision and balance—a moment of quiet, upscale dining where color and texture harmonize on a white canvas.

Whimsical Confections: Below it sits a charming, miniature cake that brings an immediate sense of lighthearted fun. Designed with a smiling with rosy cheeks, and toasted marshmallow-like layers drizzled with chocolate, it embodies pure sweetness and the simple pleasure of dessert. It is a reminder that food should not only taste good but also bring a smile to one’s face.

A Splash of Vibrant Refreshment: Anchoring the right side is a brilliant blue cocktail served in a classic martini glass, perched on a rustic wooden table. Garnished with a crisp orange half-wheel, the striking contrast of azure and gold brings an energetic, tropical flair to the collage – a celebratory toast to cap off a journey of flavors.

Together, these images celebrate the diverse ways culinary creations bring us together, offering a rich sensory experience that honors tradition, artistry, and playful imagination.

Geometry of Life

Geometry of Life captures the intersection between the soft, biological curves of the tulip and the rigid, industrial lines of the wall and drainage pipe. It elevates the image from a simple floral study to the profound reality that how nature occupies a structured world.

In this minimalist composition, the organic form of a red tulip serves as a vibrant vertical axis against the horizontal plane of white stucco wall. The composition is defined by spatial tension; the soft, saturated volume of the flower is balanced by the empty, dark circumference of the drainage pipe. By stripping the environment of color, the image exposes the underlying architecture of the scene, transforming a chance encounter with a "found object" into a deliberate exploration of shape, line, and placement. It is an observation of how the fluid geometry of nature asserts itself within the rigid, monochromatic structures of a man-made landscape.

With two competing focal points (the red tulip and the dark drainage pipe) that break conventional rules, this photograph is a study in direct perception that captures the quiet intensity of a single biological and non-biological form, each isolated by negative space.

Fractal Unfolding

In the hush beyond visible light, the infrared curled frond with each leaflet in perfect placement reveals a repeating cycle that had been taking place for 390 million years. In its infrared world, the fern is no longer just a plant but an intersection between the biological and mathematical with its repeating patterns and hypnotic spiral that invites the viewer to follow its curve to its exact center. It is a quiet architecture of light and time, holding within its delicate geometry the persistence of life as it gradually and patiently unfolds.
