They like to hang on...and I like to take photos of them.

Images captured in the breathtakingly beautiful Urabandai area in Northern Japan.

 

A mild winter so far gave us the chance to witness these early December sceneries one month late.

 

All images captured with the new Nikon 70-200 f2.8 E FL on the D810. This lens is simply amazingly good. Otus quality in a zoom lens. A first in my book.

I've seen this lady a few times when I've gone to this small village, she wears her belongings on her body. The locals though seem to look after her and ensure that she's fed.

A bit of sparkle for a Monday evening. The lilac petticoat I was wearing was 'made' for this skirt and so I put the two together :-)

The ground's a bit wet from the recent rains, we're shooting in between storm systems, there's more people around than expected, folks are taking advantage of the one sunny day to get a bit of hiking in.

 

We ignore the couple taking product shots on a rock, but I can't seem to find my way into a creative space, it all feels rote, feels like every step I take is into a footprint I've already made.

 

As a practical matter, I'd left my heavy medium format camera at home, instead electing to bring two far smaller, far lighter cameras.

 

Ends up saving the day. I switch from my Canon to my little Sony, start taking the weirdest shots I can, silly angles, lifting it high above me, dropping it way low, near my ankles, and soon the ideas are coming again. Nothing crazy, I've yet to access that truly unique space, but shots I'm digging, we're having fun.

 

Had no idea I'd gotten this shot until I returned home. Jada is ordinarily so controlled, even when expressing joy, this bit of surprise on her face, even after the several years of shooting her, is an expression I'd never seen on her, before. Solid gold.

7 Days of Shooting/Week #38/Low Saturation and/or Pastel Colours/Unusual PoV Tuesday

A bit further down the High Street we were starting to feel hungry, so we decided to have a brunch stop at the oddly named bakery/cafe 'Mine's a Pasty'! Tim and JJ had pasties but I had a tasty cheese and bacon turnover. We bought Harbie a dog ice cream too!

Portrait of a cheetah of the Kinderzoo, looking a bit annoyed...

if you go to the east of my country... you will find face like this... dark skin tone and hip hop looks like :)

the culture bit different with Sundanese... Sundanese more soft spoken :D

maybe because Sundanese bit far from the beach

Le Americhe in Scala 1:1 è un viaggio. Un lungo viaggio pieno di colori, profumi, incontri, qualche pericolo; ma pure una mappa etnografico culinaria, una esplorazione personale, un consiglio su come avvicinarsi a ciò che si conosce meno. Insomma, fondamentalmente, una grande bellissima esperienza.

 

Le Americhe in Scala 1:1 è un affascinante resoconto del viaggio compiuto da New York a Buenos Aires con mezzi di trasporto pubblico di superficie. Attraverso vivaci descrizioni delle persone, dei luoghi e delle culture incontrate lungo il percorso, l’autore accompagna il lettore in un viaggio trasformativo che va oltre il semplice turismo. Dalle strade trafficate di New York, alle foreste tropicali, alle maestose vette delle Ande, Molinari esplora i diversi paesaggi e le ricche trame culturali delle Americhe, condividendo intuizioni ed esperienze che provengono da incontri di persona con la popolazione locale. Lo stile di scrittura coinvolgente e le osservazioni acute dell’autore rendono questo libro un must-read per chiunque cerchi di comprendere e apprezzare i molteplici aspetti di questa vasta e complessa regione. Le Americhe in Scala 1:1 è molto più di un semplice resoconto di viaggio, è un’approfondita esplorazione personale e illuminante esperienza umana attraverso le Americhe.

 

Da tempo accarezzavo l’idea di rimettere mano al testo, la prima edizione è quasi una bozza, dargli una nuova occasione di vita, perché i viaggi, in realtà, non finiscono mai: quando sono veri cambiano le persone e continuano ad accompagnarle nei loro passi.

Steven was actively soliciting folks on the Northeast corner of Randolph and Michigan. We shared the same name so we were laughing a bit about that. He's been homeless for a long time. He has a family and kids to feed. He said repeatedly "I need a job". That's his biggest need. He can cook and do janitorial work. Back in the 80's and 90's he got into some trouble and went to jail. That has hindered him from getting a job. He said he's involved in Alcoholics Anonymous. He said, "when you're having a tough day, trust in God". "I opened my eyes today--it's a good day". He was all about living today, because we don't have tomorrow. "Thank you God for food--thank you God for friends--Thank you God that I opened my eyes.!" This man knows the secret to life.

Bit out of sorts, did not fly away as usual, just stared at me.

Bits and pieces from my guitar collection...

From getting home last Tuesday and leaving the house it took me 45 minutes to get ready to go out and meet up with Esme.

At the time I thought I looked a bit rough in a woman whose had a bad day kind of way. Judging by this photo I didn't look at all bad 😀

 

I wasn't sure what to wear as it's always difficult to gauge what the person you are meeting will turn up in. I know Esme always has a classy mature image and so I decided on my more relaxed retro style.

The remote village of Miyamachou North of Tokyo features some wonderful example of old Japan country side living.

Congratulations to Carol who's just been accepted on an MA course in art, media and design at Bristol, starting in autumn. Brilliant news, Carol! I am chuffed to bits for you. Go get 'em! :)

I have owned this hat for as long as i can remember. It was a bit too big when i got it and it is a bit too small now. Throughout my admittedly few years many hats have come and gone but this one remains. It is my favorite and I will have it until it falls apart.

A bit of a grab shot of 66654 as it sneaks around the back of Crewe station with a solitary wagon forming the 6Z70 0700 Alexandra Dock Jn. T.C. to Arpley Sidings.

 

In the distance there is lots of lovely stuff in the form of most of the LSL fleet of electrics, including 89001 which had been out on the mainline earlier in the week.

 

16th July 2026.

Things are getting a bit dry brown and crispy here in the East. Have to say the weather has been fab even if it has been a little cloudy some days it normally brightens up in the late afternoon.

 

the old light was fading by time I took this photo so don't zoom in as the noise is pretty bad. a down side to digital photography in my world :-(

 

Still it looks nice as it is but then I haven't got my glasses on :-)

 

A different pose for you just make a change.

  

Male Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus) looking a bit flummoxed, Stow Lake.

Not sure what the purpose of these curly bits is, but the palm fronds have them hanging off the edge. They pick up the early morning light extremely well.

 

This image was one of three (of mine) included in "Photography Bay's" Reader Photos Roundup: July 17, 2011 www.photographybay.com/2011/07/17/reader-photos-roundup-j...

This little brook is down from its highest melt levels and it looks as if the normal height is lower still.

Start of that day looked quite a different , we were walking on 4 feet of hard packed snow , dressed in everything that we brought. Bit south-east completely different story. Sagebrushes and semi desert of central Washington State.

See where this picture was taken , West of Grand Coulee , Washington State [?]

This was taken in Feltham Middlesex 1950 I think, I'm with my uncle Bill, we are pointing a an aeroplane , (being near Heathrow airport) . My cousin Barbara is standing next to my Nan ( Bill's mum)

Looking a bit serious in this one, think its because the camera was playing up and I didn't know if the timer was on two shots or not.

 

Bit disappoint yet happy too because this jacket is now too big (yay) but I like it so I am slightly miffed :-(

 

Oh well I could always get it altered.

 

This outfit has made me remember that this look actually works for me and that I should wear clothes like this more often.

 

I will be boring you with this set but I will break it up a little and post some other pics in between.

  

A bit analogue again: Olympus OM-1 with MC Zuiko 50mm 1.4. Unfortunately my Plustek 8200i scanner doesn't get an even monochrome with the Ilford XP2 despite Silverfast software (NegaFix) and Auto-CCR. The colour cast varies. Annoys me, but I can't change it.

 

Addendum: I was able to solve the problem with the colour cast and have replaced the photos with new scans.

Bit of a boring one this evening, so here's one from last Saturday of myself and the lovely Janet Clarke. It's one of only two pics taken of me at the event and a rare closeup I actually like.

This is the little bit of skin I want showing with the cold snap we're in right now. The last couple of days we've had a wind chill warning of -48 degrees Celcius. We were colder than the North Pole this week!

The temperature is 19 degrees and the wind chill is making it feel like 5 as Metro-North train #62 is leaving its Salisbury Mills/Cornwall station stop at 12:28PM. After crossing over Moodna Viaduct the train will once again be up to track speed. Schunnemunk Mountain is seen on the right on the far side of the trestle and is the highest peak in Orange County N.Y. with its summit at 1,664 ft. located in the Town of Blooming Grove. Large poured concrete retaining walls can be seen in front of the train on the far side of Moodna Viaduct in this area to prevent slides. Train 62 is being pushed by GP40PH-2B 4207 that started life in 10-1965 as New York Central GP40 3005.The train is due in to Hoboken NJ at 2:13pm. Howard Kent Jr.

Good morning, I took this one last night because i got the dress the Friday from a charity shop, It an old Hell Bunny dress and a large so should be a UK14 think again sherlock seems they used to be a little different few years back. its closer a 12 in all truth all be it a large 12. I can just about squeeze into it. I know i have put a bit of chunk on but other HB dresses that are the same size fit better.

 

Off out this morning i think for the first time since my accident . when i say out i mean a proper punt around the shops. Just hope my trotter stands upto the walking.

Amongst the heavy storm clouds that rolled in tonight, there was this small blue opening of the sky with still a bit of sunlight shining through. A little later there was a fantastic red sunset sky also. It is always amazing how the skies change so quickly here.

bit of a work-in-progress....

not really sure about her yet...

 

i plan to give her some darker hairs... (misha says silver gray.)

then we can see if her eyes are good or not so good...

they seem kinda too doeish... or doughy... ;)

 

she also seems a little clowny.

 

i wanted her makeup to be a bit darker...

then i wanted it all to be lighter...

now i kinda want it to be darker...

hmmmm....

 

i had too many idea at once, basically...

gee whiz.

  

Today it was a bit cloudy in Langkawi. Perfect for going to the sky bridge and the viewing platform which is located 700 above sea level; you go there with a cable car. If you want to see more of Langkawi, come over to my blog and checkout the full post here.

 

This one needs to be seen in the light box (press "L").
