A bit of an abstract take on the Peter Iredale shipwreck on the Oregon Coast. As a trained engineer and rather inflexible thinking guy, these kind of shots are few and far between for me. But I am trying, and just maybe there will be more to come!
This photo was taken on the same evening as a previously posted photo from earlier this spring.
Mount Pocono, PA. September 2019.

A bit of a homage to my favourite 70's 35mm film.
When I first became interested in photography in the early seventies this soon became my favourite colour film. I loved the 25 ASA and 64 ASA versions although getting large prints from them was pretty expensive.
As Paul Simon said :"They give us those nice bright colors,
They give us the greens of summers, Makes you think all the world's a sunny day" :)
I wanted this work to have those "nice bright (saturated) colours" that I remember from the time so I picked several of my photos that lent themselves to the subject. I also wanted the aspect ration of the frames to be 3x2 like 35mm film cameras.

A bit of activity on the old road this afternoon, despite the Kingsbury to Humber and EMT Neville Hill to Derby HST move being cancelled.
The southbound Lindsey to Kingsbury oils ran and three northbound engineering trains.
The two trains in question were 66083 on the 0730 Stevenage to Belmont down yard and
66009 and 66087 on the 11:07 Biggleswade to Doncaster Up Decoy.
The one I missed due to shopping / time constraints the 09:00 Stevenage to Belmont Down Yard.
60040 headed the 11:04 Lindsey Oil Refinery to Kingsbury Oil Sidings which passed at ideal moment if you wanted to catch two trains passing on this lightly trafficked line.
Also timely for a change was the sun which popped out on both occasions the trains passed.

A bit better prepared this week for #mocaroundgang #mocaround57 for 80's touring cars.
This period covered my life ages 7 - 17, so a primetime interest in cars. It helps that I also live in Australia, home to the legendary Bathurst 1000 km Touring car race, held in October.
The 80's started off in Australia running Group-C regulations, with a switch to International Group-A in 1985.
Holden’s VL Commodore holds the unique distinction of winning two Bathurst 1000s during the Group A era.
The first win came in 1987 for the VL SS Group A - the last Commodore designed and built with input from Peter Brock and his HDT special vehicles operation. The VL’s second Bathurst win came three years later for another iteration called the VL SS Group A SV, developed in partnership with UK-based Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR).
When Holden and HDT launched the VL Commodore SS Group A in October 1986, it was more a case of evolution than revolution. The previous VK SS Group A won the 1986 Bathurst 1000, thanks to a Les Small-prepared car driven by Allan Grice and Graeme ‘Chickadee’ Bailey.
The new VL SS Group A, of which Holden/HDT had to build a minimum 500 identical road cars to meet FIA homologation rules, featured numerous refinements. The tough A9L-spec V8 had new cylinder head castings to eliminate hot spots and head gasket failures which had haunted the VK.
In Group A race trim, the VL produced more than 400bhp, with a Getrag five-speed competition gearbox, custom-made nine-inch rear axle assembly, fully adjustable suspension and big Harrop brakes.
However, by February 1987 the deteriorating relationship between Brock and his long-time employer GM-H had reached a crisis point. Brock’s resolute belief in the attributes of his Energy Polarizer (based on a new-age science of ‘molecular alignment’ to improve a car’s performance.
The team fronted with a two-car team at the Mountain, with a new car (No.05) for Brock and David Parsons and a second (No.10) for experienced Bathurst hand Peter McLeod and promising F2 driver John Crooke, who unfortunately would miss out on a drive in the race.
With his right elbow casually resting on the driver’s door, Brock went from one magnificent high speed power-slide to another for lap after lap with such graceful mastery that all who witnessed it, friend or foe, could not help but be in awe of his skill.
To finish third behind the two Texaco-backed works Ford Sierra RS500s which had dominated the race was the best Brock and his army of supporters could have hoped for – or so they thought. Official protests lodged by Aussie teams over irregularities in the Texaco cars’ front wheel arches were upheld and on November 13, 1987 (about six weeks after the race) the two works Fords were officially excluded from the results and the third-placed Mobil Commodore declared the winner!

On 19th October 2024 the 'Eems Delf' (2007, 3,800DWT) arrives at Teignmouth on the top of the high spring tide with a draft of 5.2m with a transshipment cargo unusually loaded in Dublin.

My first try using studio lights.
Do view Large and on Black.
Have a nice day everyone :-)
Bit of a muddy photograph, was not a good day for photography light, but what an interesting consist on this train coming through Ridgewood NJ on February 24, 1979. I chased it up to Suffern, NY, where it dropped all the cars and the two switchers, picked up another cut of cars, and came back east. Power here is an ex Erie Lackawanna GP35, an ex Lehigh Valley GP38AC and an ex Penn Central GP35 (along with the two Conrail end cabs that were bound for Suffern, I assume to work at Mahwah maybe, an NW2 and an SW1200).
Huh,I'm fed up with these final exams I've been giving for the past few days.Don't have much time for clicking :'(
Took this shot using reverse lens technique!!!
Have a great weekend everyone :-)

"A Bit of Craic" 29x47cm
Painted onto metal found in a skip on Ravenhill Road, Belfast
Asbestos Boxing Club
Everybody still talks about 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland. But as I approached the Ligoniel Amateur Boxing Club in North Belfast on a cold November evening, I was at an advantage because I had no preconceived ideas as to whether the boxers were Protestant, Catholic or Hindu for that matter. I hadn't even thought about asking before that night, and as my visit wore on, I started to assume from their names that they were catholic (Sean, Joe, Paddy). You see, there's been so much conflict in Belfast over the last thirty or so years, that both communities have become isolated in their own suburbs. So for me, this boxing club in the suburbs in North Belfast and the men who give their time for free intrigued me.
I was introduced to this boxing club by the guys who run the Safehouse Gallery and on my way to Belfast on the train that day, the usual images and preconceptions of 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland came to mind. But I wasn't interested in adding to a landscape of film, painting and literature that couldn't escape the images of violence and division from the past. It was my intention to create a body of work focusing on people who're making a difference in their community despite all the shit that goes on around them.
I photographed the boxers training and sparring in Ligoniel Amateur Boxing Club (it's been on the go since 1971 and has been funded by the boxers and the community around Ligoniel) late one Wednesday evening. Upon arriving I was welcomed in by Eddie, who stood in the doorway eclipsed in the stark boxing hall light, his hand, decked out in gold rings reached out to greet me and welcome me into a club he's been volunteering in for over thirty years.
I got to know the guys from the club, each had a story, each had a reason to be drawn to boxing and the small club that was a home and a safe family. I came away from that club with a head full of stories and a meaningful idea for an exhibition in Belfast. My initial fear was that these guys would treat me with suspicion, but each was open and honest, happy to talk while I photographed.
The following day, I scoured the streets in different parts of Belfast for the signature yellow Ace Bates skips (he's the king of the Belfast skip world). I hoped that they might contain the detritus of the city; wood, metal and any other objects that told the cities history for me to paint on. I pulled pieces from skips in the Holy Land, the Shankill Road, the Lisburn Road and the Falls, then I hauled them home to the studio in Dublin to paint.
Back in Belfast on the night of the show, it was a very humbling experience for me to see each boxer come to see his portrait. It was singularly, the most rewarding and emotional moment in my entire art career. One boxer told me that it's usually "generals or dead politicians that get their portraits painted, not amateur boxers from north Belfast". But to me, these guys are the heroes of the community, they're the guys who keep the kids off the steets, training three nights a week, they're the guys who get screamed at by their wives "for volunteering more time at the club than at home". It was a privilege for me to spend time with and paint the portraits of these contemporary heroes.
The whole process was filmed by King Adz and will be online in the next couple of weeks at www.theartofasbestos.com
Hey, Flickr. Sorry for our not being around lately. Whimsy and I have been showing quite a bit this half of the year. We have been on the pursuit of Rally's top title RAE. 10 qualifying legs of both advanced B and excellent B. We have been doing well. These ribbons were awarded in the last two weeks. Leg 7 at Westmoreland County Obedience Dog Training Club and Leg 8 at Mt Nittany Dog Training Club. Both are WONDERFUL VENUES and have WONDERFUL MEMBERS.
We were blessed to receive the newly awarded High Combined ribbons at both venues. Whimsy and I really love rally. I was very humbled by these awards. The first place ribbon that Whimsy is sporting is from our round in Novice A Obedience where we got a 190/200. She decided to skip the first sits in both on and off leash heeling. She said that she is a Flat Coat and we can be a bit unpredictable. :)
We also got our TDI/CGC. I look forward to sharing her with those who can use a bit of her magic.
I just LOVE HER!!!! Did I say that loud enough!!!
Bit disappointed by the quality (again!) to be honest, but thought I'd share it anyway! This is a typical destination for us on Saturdays! It's a little look around Commerical Road and the roads where the city's main shops are. While we were there this week, there were a few people banging away on drums, which seemed to fit in very well with the Take That track that I added!
