100 flippin' photos!! I can't believe I've made it this far. It started to pour just after I packed up my gear, so I had to run about half a mile in this outfit with my gear on my back back to the car :-P
Meninas....olhem que presente lindo eu ganhei. Ainda falta uma pretinha de uns 50 anos para embelezar mais o meu ateliê. Esse modelo a manivela tem mais de 100 anos, funciona perfeitamente e foi um grande amigo que me presenteou.
For #FlickrFriday #100%
"Show us what it takes to get there when you're at your worst"
A little tired, a little stressed...time to get down and regroup in order to get back up and running, recharged and feeling 100%
Para Lio: Yo todavÃa no he conseguido hacer los 100 retos con vosotr@s, pero lo que si habéis conseguido desde el momento 0 es que me encuentre como en casa... Y encima aprendo! Qué más se puede pedir???
Mi homenaje para el reto 100 (bueno, 103, que LÃo!), como entre fotógrafos anda el juego...
I was working in the studio when I noticed a young woman outside taking photos. I left the studio and introduced myself. Janin is a photographer who presently works in Nashville. She was back home visiting family and decided to take a break and photograph the old part of town. Over the past decade or so she has faithfully documented the changes, both good and bad in the area.
I invited her into Studio d'Xavier and we talked art and photography for a while. Janin earned her degree in photography and had quite a wealth of knowlege to graciously offer a photographic philistine like myself. I offered her a brew and soaked up her thoughts as I showed her around the studio.
When I asked her to participate in the Red Sofa Chronicles, I also introduced her to 100 Strangers. Janin participates on flickr, but has always been shy about approaching strangers for photographs. I encouraged her to join the 100 Strangers group. Then I agreed to be her first stranger to get her started. I'm looking forward to seeing your second stranger Janin! Thank you for being Stranger #153 in my 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the flickr group page.

Strobist: AB1600 with 60X30 softbox camera right. AB800 with Softlighter II camera left. Triggered by Cybersync.
This is my first of 100 strangers.
His name is Adam and I met him at a coffee shop, while I was waiting for another model to show up for a photo shoot. The model didn't show, as is common.
The moment I saw him walk by I was intrigued. He sat near a window beside me starting to do his art, as I awkwardly prepared to ask him if I could take his photo.
I just asked. He was minding his own business, and I sheepishly asked, 'hi, would it be okay if I took some photos of you, you seem interesting, and I just like taking photos of interesting people' ... a little shocked, and perhaps flattered or weirded out, I watched him pause and think it over a second as he nodded. "just do your thing" i said as I shot his portrait. I just wanted to capture who he was, and what he did.
I took about a dozen shots of him from a few angles, and then sat down to review them, while making casual conversation, and apologizing if I was an irritation.
He turned out to be a really cool person, and I got to know him more. His artwork is astounding. He does elaborate ink drawings which he colors in with more ink. They are reminiscent of religious woodcut prints of the medieval era. I learned that he was originally from the area, and had been living in LA and working as an artist. It was inspiring to meet another artist, and to see how he goes about working on his craft every day, just I do.
Now I know a new person in the city!
I'm excited to meet more strangers, and shoot more portraits :)

92 Degrees, Baltic Triangle, Liverpool, 2022.
I arrived at 92 Degrees and ordered a dirty chai to quench my thirst after a drive into the city. Straight away I noticed this cool-looking guy at one of the tables, and I knew I had to ask him for a picture.
Due to the pandemic, I haven't really photographed strangers for a couple of years, so I was a little reticent, but when I asked him if I could take his picture for my documentary project, he was a perfect gentleman, and agreed to being photographed without hesitation.
He had a guitar and amp with him, as if he were on his way from/to a gig of some kind. His name was Paul.
Any constructive criticism and advice is welcome!

This is also my 1st submission to the Human Family Group. To view more street portraits and stories visit The Human Family.
When I first met Michael it was like a hurricane hitting the beach. I was chatting to the crew of a boat that was being prepared for a trans Atlantic crossing using only manpower. The crew would row the boat. Michael, on his arrival, immediately asked questions of the crew about the batteries, their rating and type, the solar panels, the communications and --- and---.
I knew also that I had met someone very special. At first I thought, because of his voice, dress and facial appearance that he was Irish, he quickly disarmed me of this thought. Indeed he informed me that it was more likely that his genes ran in my blood rather than mine in his.
Michael declared himself a 'Norse man' and recanted the tales of rape, pillage and conquest of his seaborne people and their eventual consummation and assimilation into the greater gene pool that would become Ireland, he also reminded that they came back again as Normans but that they had forgotten their ancestry by then.
Michael told me that he had lived in Limerick, Ireland for 18 years, hence his altered tones.
Michael is in his 80's but full of life and energy and I enjoyed our interaction and conversation.

The other bit of FOMAPAN 100 I cut out of Hasselblad with A16 back I put into a British ENSIGN SELFIX Model I with 75mm f4.5 'ENSAR' lens from the 1950's and took it over ADMIRALS PARK CHELMSFORD, Essex England. I tried a new 2-bath Formula I made up - it gave good negatives. The LENS is not all that sharp ! A Half Dried Up Pond !
Day one hundred.
100 days ago I started this project, and now I'm completely DONE. No more thinking about what my "photo of the day" will be and stressing out over it. But it was really great to capture all of the moments of the summer after my sophomore year.
One of my best summers ever, I do believe. I've had some crazy adventures with my friends, and I've done even more exciting things with my cousins in Indiana. I've gotten so close to them over the summer. They're now like older sisters to me. Each day I wrote a summary of what I did... for personal purposes really. It's funny to go back and read things from the first week I started this. It's crazy how much I've already forgotten.
I just can't even believe I finished this thing. I swore I was going to quit around day 15. I feel like I've actually accomplished something great. I do have to confess I cheated once... on day two, haha! And if you go back and look at the date of the photo it's so obvious. I guess the project just overwhelmed me at first and I used up all my creative-ness on day one. A weight is being lifted upon my shoulders, but at the same time I'm really going to miss this project. Who knows, maybe I'll do one next summer! Or maybe a 52 week project?
Thank you for those who have stuck with my from the beginning. Your comments mean the *world* to me.
Oh and before I forget, one of my fellow flickr friends also started her 100 days of summer project on May 19th, which is so strange considering that date isn't significant at all. Anywho, she finished hers today and her photo is AMAZING! www.flickr.com/photos/thisishenriette/6083208232/in/photo...

I have visited Yatton on a number of occasions and I am grateful to local Flickrite, Tom Harper for inspiration to use the infrastructure on the station and this is the first time I have 'snapped' this view. I have made a search, but cannot find any reference to any of the buildings being 'listed', if that is correct, very well done to whoever is responsible for the structures, it is a fine station with lots of obvious history.
One of our reasons (see image 'No Interest') for our visit on 25 July 2023 was to see some genuine full length HSTs as they race through the station, the line speed is 100 mph here and if the train seen was not doing the line speed it was probably not far off. Arriva Cross Country's 43239 with 43301 at the rear pound through working 1S51, the 12.27 Plymouth to Glasgow Central. What a great way to travel such a long journey, I for one, will be very sad to see them withdrawn, something that is expected to happen this year.
California Northern (CFNR) GP15-1s 107 & 100 are sitting at Napa Junction, CA, on Sunday, July 14, 1996.
CFNR 100 is an EMD GP15-1. CFNR 100 reportedly was built in 1976 by EMD as a model GP15-1, builders number 757142-12, CNW 4411. This unit was reportedly returned to the lessor in 1996 and became Union Pacific 1542.
On a heavily overcast morning, we began the next leg of our road trip, taking us from Page, Arizona to the Grand Canyon's south rim. We were starting to have problems remembering what day of the week it was, often having to consult my travel journal to keep track of where we've been, as well as our sketched out itinerary for where we were supposed to be next.
Filled with excitement and trepidation (heights are not my favorite thing!), we entered the park for the first time via Desert View Drive, stopping at every viewpoint, inching our way to the edge, then (nearly) forgetting about the mile drop to the valley below as we became over-awed by the sights before us.
By the time we reached Moran Point, the sun had burned through some of the overcast, leaving a haze across the valley and I relaxed enough to begin recognizing the swarms of people around me.
It was here, under a struggling sky, that I met Rafhael. We passed each other several times on the path skirting the overlook, smiled and continued on. A few times, I watched his interaction with two older people and surmised they were his parents. His body language showed kindness and love in a way that stood out and drew me to him.
When asked, he was more than willing to have his photo taken, but there was little time for conversation before he and his parents had to move on.
When we passed each other yet again, there were mobs of people around us. We shared a few words about the beauty of the place, but soon were lost into the crowd. With no story, I began to chalk this one up as a pleasant encounter and no more.
Through each passing, we saw Rafhael and his parents, but never the brother. Finally, at Grandpoint, I noticed the parents sitting under a tree while Rafhael stood nearby. My chance at last!
Rafhael spoke English with a pleasing accent and served as translator for his parents. Having had a decades-long pen pal from Sao Paulo, I used that as my connecting point with him.
Through Rafhael, I had a short conversation with his parents and immediately fell in love with them. In fact, I remarked how much his mother reminded me of mine.
Rafhael told me his brother lives and works in the US and always takes them somewhere exciting on each of their visits. At the moment, they were waiting for him to return (as they had been at each lookout). It seems he had met some "young women" and was, at that moment, clambering out with them on the more risky overlooks (riskier than the one just visible on the left of the photo). Although they were all anxious about it, they could do nothing more than sit and wait.
We parted with my promise to send copies of his photo and any I may have captured (inadvertently) of his brother out on the edge of infinity.
