Los Angeles River w/ Ricoh GRIIIx HDF

After two decades away from digital photography, holding the Ricoh GRIIIx HDF felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Its sleek design contrasted with my bulky cameras, sparking nostalgia and curiosity.

Mono Lake has always been more than just a favorite location—it's a place where my passion for photography and nature intertwine. The surreal, mirror-like waters stretch out beneath vast, open skies, while jagged tufa towers rise like ancient sentinels from the shimmering surface. The crisp, salty air carries whispers of timelessness, and the shifting light dances across the rugged landscape, painting it with hues of gold and blue. Each visit feels like a return to a sacred space, where every frame captures not just the scenery but fragments of my own journey. This time, with Fuji Acros 100, I sought to preserve not just an image, but a piece of my soul woven into the lake's ethereal beauty.
