At a time when a tiny consumer microprocessor can contain 134 billion transistors, there is still something fascinating about vintage electronics, and particularly the lowly vacuum tube. Over one hundred years ago, vacuum tubes made the AM radios of the 1920s possible, ushering in the first mass-media tool that allowed people to receive news and entertainment in real time. Radar systems during WWII depended on vacuum tubes as did the introduction of TV sets in the 1950s. Vacuum tubes changed the lives of people during that era. For some of us, there is a nostalgic connection to these marvels of the past, and for others, sheer disbelief that electronic devices once required such things as key components.
Photographer Scott Dimond had always thought that vintage vacuum tubes would make a great photographic subject, but he never pursued the idea until he came across a treasure trove of old tubes at a 2nd hand store. The result is an ongoing project showcasing vacuum tubes using various photographic techniques including backlighting, light painting and focus stacking. Where possible, Scott also energized the heating cathode within the tubes using a laboratory power supply. To determine which pins at the base of the tubes were used by the heating element, he needed to identify the tubes and then research them to find the manufacturer's original data sheets. Once found, those data sheets provided the information on the pin configuration and voltage/amperage that he needed to apply to activate the heating cathode.
Not only did the data sheets provide that key information on each tube, but Scott also found them visually interesting and decided to use them as a subtle watermark-like background element to create a 2nd version of each tube photo.
Audiophiles with a passion for vacuum tube amplifiers take note. Scott is currently working on including tubes such as the 300B in this project, so check back for updates.

A panoramic photograph taken from Goosenecks State Park in Utah, looking out across a rugged desert foreground toward distant hills that appear naturally painted in soft bands of color. The textured terrain in the foreground features rocky outcrops, dry soil, and hardy desert plants that thrive in this harsh environment, adding contrast and depth to the wide, open scene.
In the distance, layered hills stretch across the horizon, their soft reds, yellows, and earthy tones resembling the iconic Painted Hills, though viewed here from a unique vantage point. Overhead, a clear blue sky with scattered low clouds adds balance and brightness to the composition.
This panoramic photograph offers a slightly different perspective of Zion Canyon, captured along the trail to The Narrows in Zion National Park. From this vantage point, the canyon opens up in layers—massive sandstone cliffs rise on either side while the Virgin River winds quietly through the valley below. The scale is breathtaking, but the scene feels calm and grounded.
The image captures the raw, textured beauty of the canyon: rich earth tones in the rock faces, pockets of greenery along the riverbank, and soft light filtering through the canyon walls. The ultra-high resolution brings out every ridge, shadow, and reflection, creating a strong sense of depth and clarity.
Whether you've made this hike or not, this view speaks to the quiet majesty of the Southwest—a place where nature feels vast, timeless, and incredibly close
The twisted remnants of metal and shattered fragments of what once held purpose now lie in a chaotic graveyard. A monument to our insatiable consumption, this scrapyard stretches endlessly like a metallic ocean, rusted and forgotten. Each fragment whispers a story of fleeting utility, from the discarded husk of an old machine to the skeletal remains of appliances that once brought convenience and comfort.
We mold the earth’s gifts into objects of desire, only to discard them when the new and the novel beckon. The scars of our excess are not hidden; they tower and pile, forming mountains of waste that choke the land. Here, the earth bears the weight of our neglect. The air tastes of rust, and the sharp edges gleam under the muted sky, serving as a reminder that nothing we create is without consequence.
But even amid the ruin, there is a certain beauty—a tapestry of metal and decay that demands reflection. How many resources were torn from the earth to build what is now rubble? How many hands shaped and assembled what we so carelessly cast aside? This field of waste is not merely an ending—it is a question. Will we continue to consume without thought, or will we find new ways to honor the materials we take?
The land remembers. And as the metal rusts and the remnants crumble, the echoes of our choices remain. The future is still unwritten—but only if we choose to see the waste for what it truly is: a reflection of our disregard and a call to do better.
Stacked high and weathered by the elements, these containers stand like stoic monuments to the stories they carry. Each dent and rusted patch whispers of distant ports, bustling cranes, and salt-laden breezes. Within their steel walls, ordinary and extraordinary treasures have crossed oceans — from the hum of factory machines to the careful hands of artisans.
A simple box? Hardly. These are vessels of connection. A farmer’s harvest from one corner of the world becomes a feast on a distant table. A child’s toy, once molded and painted thousands of miles away, now echoes with laughter in a home that would otherwise never know it. Medicine, materials, memories — all cradled in these rugged frames.
As I gaze at the countless numbers and caution labels, I see more than logistics. I see the quiet triumph of human collaboration. The unseen journeys of goods that fuel our lives, bridge our differences, and remind us just how small the world can be.
These containers may be silent, but they speak of the world’s endless motion — a testament to how we reach for one another, no matter the distance.

A high-resolution photograph capturing the iconic Naples Pier at sunset, with the sky lit up in dramatic shades of deep orange and blue. The cloud cover catches the last light of day, creating a vivid display of color that’s mirrored in the wet sand and gentle waves along the shoreline. The warm and cool tones blend together in a striking gradient across both sky and sea.
Silhouetted figures line the pier—locals and visitors alike—adding a sense of scale and life to the scene without distracting from the natural beauty. The structure of the pier stretches out into the Gulf, anchoring the composition and guiding the viewer’s eye toward the glowing horizon.
Shot in ultra-high resolution, this image preserves every detail—from the texture of the clouds to the faint reflections in the surf—offering a peaceful yet vibrant glimpse of a Florida sunset at its best.
