Lost Gems
A common problem of working with a digital camera is the number of images you generate over time.
The goal of this project is to reduce the size of my photo catalog and hopefully rediscover a few forgotten gems. I will go through the catalog on a regular basis and publish one image from the archive per week. It will be a mixed bag of photos. Enjoy!
Update: I have abandoned this project after twelve weeks because my photo catalog grew exponentially over the past few years.

Week 7
Morning Meditation
A quiet Summer morning during a visit to Joe's and Martha's cabin in Sierraville. Aadi started walking during this trip. Good times. Also available at: https://unsplash.com/@kai
Week 6
Curiosity
Eight months old. A short weekend camping trip with Aadi and friends.
Week 5
Icelandic Horse
When you look them in the eye, you can sense a thoughtfulness and calm that you don't get with a lot of other creatures.
Week 4
Blue Hour
Big Oak Flat tunnel in Yosemite during the Blue Hour. The vibrant fluorescent light from the tunnel set against the blue evening light.
Week 3
A Bugs Life
Road trip. On the way to Death Valley. It was a warm and sunny day. The light was warm and golden. The windshield was covered in bugs. Also available at: https://unsplash.com/@kai
Week 2
Salt Formations
A long exposure of salt formations in the Dead Sea. I was only there for one morning with little preparation. The long exposure and humid air blurred out the background. There is some charm to the blurry background, but I believe the image would be stronger with the mountains in focus. I wish had taken another short exposure of just the background.
Week 1
Sunrise on the Rocks
Beautiful soft light breaking through a large block of ice, producing soft diffused shadows on the black-sand beach. I captured this image on a trip to Iceland in 2015.
