To describe me and who I am as a person could be done in many words. Some of these words could be adventurous, outgoing, funny, nice, caring, trustworthy, confident, and many more. To me my work is not boring at all. There may be a few here or there that are boring depending on the project but I like to have fun and laugh a lot so I try to make my photos seem lively and joyous. I have two cats, and I love them to death. I live in Westlake with my little sister, mom, and step dad. I love hanging out with my friends and doing fun activities. All of my characteristics and qualities relate to my photography because it is evident that in all of my pictures I take that there is something about them that I incorporate that relates to me and who I am.
My philosophy throughout this semester would be showing yourself and not being afraid of what the outcome is. Take some risks and don’t be afraid to be bold. This philosophy relates to me and my personality of being extroverted. The process of this project is going to take some time. To plan to set aside special time dedicated to working on it so I can do it superbly and efficiently. I have some ideas in my head for what I want to do for my photos that reflect me and can show off my different talents. My ideas come out of nowhere. I am a spontaneous type of person so things just come to my mind.
Throughout my time spent in digital photography I have learned various element to a photo that make it a good one. For my self-portrait photos I am incorporating almost everything I have learned and combining it with my personality. In my traditional photo it relates to my personality one hundred percent. I am sitting at chipotle with friends laughing and eating having a good time which is totally me. It shows me in full action with my school uniform on and everything. It also relates to my philosophy because I took so many pictures from all different angles and wasn’t afraid to take chances especially with everyone at the restaurant staring at me. My alter-ego photo is of me dressed in dark clothes with dark makeup on alone and secluded from people cold and looking sad and depressed. It is the total opposite of me which is what an alter ego can be in my opinion. It relates to my philosophy because I was trying different things and not knowing what the outcome would be but taking that risk of once again having people stare at me and not knowing what I was going to get as an end result.
Today we had to let Jodie (left) go after a recent illness on top of various other age-related problems - she'd have been 17 next month!
Although I'm an atheist, I am finding some comfort in the idea that she is in the company of Kryssy (right) cruelly snatched from us at eight by bone cancer.
Bless my 'Bridge Angels'.

But then this is always the case these days. Confidence is the cardinal rule. Daisy isn't allowed to show even the slightest sign of hesitation or uncertainty, no matter what situation I may thrust her into. And believe you me, I watch her like a hawk for any sign of these things. She can feel however she likes, but she'd better not show anything but supreme confidence. After all, she's representing Madame Tina out there. In fact, she is basically acting as an extension of me everywhere she goes...and she'd damn well better act as such! 💗
Not that collecting a receipt in a convenience store is any big deal now...but you know, once upon a time not long ago, this sort of thing would have been incredibly difficult for her. I used to have to remind her: "You are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing exactly what you are supposed to do, and you are dressed exactly the way you are supposed to be dressed. PERIOD! 😉

This portrait of Maria Elena, like the other similar one, seem almost to have been drawn. Does anybody know, were the photos manipulated in a way to make them look like sketches?

Some background information:
I found this sign in the old town of Lannion and I like the fact that it has two different sides. The other side can be viewed in this picture: the girl.
With its more than 20,000 residents, Lannion is the administrative centre of the arrondissement of Lannion in the French department of Côtes-d'Armor in the very north of Brittany. The town is located on the bank of the Léguer river, just five kilometres (3.1 miles) away from the sea, where the river issues into.
Lannion harks back on a long history. Several megaliths in its surrounding bear witness to human habitation as early as in prehistoric times and so do many carved flints and stone axes, which were excavated. In April 2014, archaeologists found traces of three large wooden and mud-walled houses together with pottery fragments and wristbands, whose age was estimated at 7,000 years. Also excavated were the remnants of a round house from the Bronze Age, which was probably built around 1200 BC.
Coins and potsherds as well as two Gallic steles bear witness to habitation in Gallic times. In Gallo-Roman times, the spot of Lannion was situated at the road from Yaudet eastbound. The excavations of Gallo-Roman estates show that already then the area was used for agriculture.
In 1163, Lannion was first mentioned in a document. In a papal bull of pope Alexander III it is registered that the church Sancte Marie de Lannion is still not brought to completion. At about that time a castle was erected, whose purpose was to protect the settlement against invaders ascending the river. Between 1341 and 1364, the town was involved in the War of the Breton Succession.
In 1590, Lannion was heavily affected by events in the course of the French Wars of Religion. The whole area was a patchwork of Catholic and Huguenot parishes. After the nearby Huguenot parish of Plestin had been burned and devastated by the troops of the Catholic French King, the royalist town of Lannion overtook the same fate. In an act of revenge, Huguenot troops, who supported the Protestant Duke of Mercœur, burned and devastated it. Fortuntately in 1598, the wars were ended by the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial rights and freedoms.
In the 16th century, Brélévenez and Lannion were the two most important parishes in the district. Competition raged between the two communes. After Brélévenez had built a spire on its church, Lannion built an even more beautiful and larger reproduction. 158 trees, 10,000 slates and 1,800 kg of metal were needed for its construction. It was installed on the tower of the church, and inaugurated in 1643. But after it had been struck by lightning in 1758, it threatened to collapse on the neighbouring houses. Hence, the Duke of Aiguillon, who was the appointed Commander-in-Chief of Brittany, gave the order to destroy it.
Until the French Revolution, Lannion belonged to the bishopric of Tréguier. However, to restrict the power of the bishop in Lannion, the French King constituted the town the place of jurisdiction for the whole area. After the Revolution, the port of Lannion thrived and so did the town. Even after Word War I, Lannion’s economic growth continued, but after World War II, stagnation coursed through and the community became just a drowsy rural town.
However, the situation took another turn for the better in the sixties, as in 1960, the National Telecommunications Centre was built there. To install it and to house the families of the technicians, Lannion needed significant land reserves. After a prefectural decree had sealed the merger of Lannion with the municipalities of Buhulien, Loguivy, Servel and Brélévenez, a number of other companies set up in business too, following the National Telecommunications Centre.
Today, Lannion is the administrative, commercial and cultural capital of the Trégor region, one of the nine historical provinces of Brittany. The town’s technology park champions cutting-edge technologies from companies like Alcatel and Orange. There are around one hundred high-tech enterprises and research centres and that’s why Lannion is sometimes even described as a French "mini Silicon Valley".
Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
