Update 9 August 2025

I'm not here for politics. I am here because there is a great community of photographers and models who support each other.

My camera has A.D.D. One minute it's boudoir. Another time astrophotography. Maybe landscapes/travel. Only my camera knows.

Nikon D750 & Z6ii

Up to you. You can post a daily gallery of entries and which one is the "finalist" from that day's entries. 🤷‍♂️

Model: Emanuely 🇧🇷

This image features a confident woman posing powerfully on a serene beach beside a weathered driftwood tree. She’s wearing a white bodysuit that accentuates her curves and contrasts beautifully with the muted tones of the sand, sea, and sky. Her hair flows dramatically in the breeze, creating motion and energy against the tranquil ocean backdrop. The lighting is soft and flattering, giving the scene an ethereal, empowering vibe — a perfect blend of strength, sensuality, and freedom.

In 1985, I was a young airmen stationed in Germany. Too young and stupid to appreciate how great I had it back then. I really miss the 80s.

This image showcases a striking long-exposure light painting of a woman standing in shallow water at sunset. A radiant halo of warm orange and red light surrounds her, with elegant light trails extending outward, resembling wings. The calm water reflects the mesmerizing colors, enhancing the dreamlike atmosphere. The dark silhouette of a tree in the background adds depth and contrast to the glowing scene, making it feel surreal and ethereal.

"Yellow trams and pastel dreams"

2022
Lisbon 📍

#VisitLisbon #LisbonLove #PortugalTravel #ExplorePortugal #StreetsofLisbon #TravelPortugal #ButroTravel #lisbon #lisbonlovers #lisboa #lisbonportugal #lisbonlife #lovelisbon #portugal #tram #streetphotography #travelphotography

This image captures the charm of a steep, cobblestone street in Lisbon, Portugal, with the iconic yellow tram gliding up the hill. The tram’s warm color contrasts beautifully with the pastel pinks, yellows, and whites of the surrounding buildings, each adorned with wrought-iron balconies. The perspective is low and dynamic, emphasizing the incline of the street and the tram’s forward motion. Locals and tourists mingle on the sidewalks, creating a lively yet nostalgic European atmosphere. The scene feels timeless — a blend of old-world romance and everyday life.

My Sunday Portuguese lessons are normally at 7am, but I forgot Iowa is an hour earlier. That meant my head was especially foggy trying to conjugate verbs at 6am! 🤪

"Untamed Elegance"

Model: Heather

#ButroModel

The photo portrays a striking and elegant outdoor portrait featuring a woman and a horse. The woman, dressed in a bold red dress with a thigh-high slit, stands close to a white horse with light brown markings. Her arm rests gently on the horse’s side, creating a sense of connection and calm. She has long blonde hair styled in soft waves, and visible tattoos on her arm and leg add a strong, confident edge to her look.

The background features a vibrant autumn landscape — golden-orange foliage contrasts beautifully with the bright blue sky scattered with soft clouds. The reflection of the scenery in a small pond adds depth to the image. The overall tone is warm, cinematic, and emotionally charged, blending beauty, strength, and serenity in a single frame.

"9th and 34th"

2017
New York City 📍

Taken with a Samsung S7 while treating my daughter to her first trip to Broadway musicals and NYC. I had no idea the taxi was coming and it turned into one of my fav photos from that trip.

#ButroTravel #BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #skyscraper #building #nyc #newyork

This photo beautifully captures a lively New York City night scene at the intersection of Ninth Avenue, with the iconic Empire State Building illuminated in brilliant blue light towering in the distance. The New Yorker Hotel sign glows red to the left, contrasting perfectly against the night sky. A classic yellow taxi speeds through the crosswalk, adding motion and energy to the shot. Streetlights, bustling traffic, and bright signage create that unmistakable NYC vibe — alive, electric, and timeless.

Yeah, I saw that comment as well, after it also said the Tram was composed well using the Rule of Thirds. 🤔
