*Working Towards a Better World
There are no magic answers, no miraculous methods to overcome the problems we face, just the familiar ones: honest search for understanding, education, organization, action that raises the cost of state violence for its perpetrators or that lays the basis for institutional change -- and the kind of commitment that will persist despite the temptations of disillusionment, despite many failures and only limited successes, inspired by the hope of a brighter future."
-- Noam Chomsky
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
If you see a married couple still in love through the
years, you may think how lucky they are.
But in marital relations, there is no such thing as
luck.
They made many compromises, they overlooked each others faults.
They forgave many mistakes, and endured many problems.
They spent years learning to understand one another.
Love has never been a matter of luck, its a mutual giving
compromise, shared dreams, care, respect, mercy and patience.

Christmas tree decoration of a polar bear. First time I have dabbled with high key and was harder than I envisaged. Would liked to have dabbled longer but too many other commitments at this time of year
for now our children are being fashioned into commodities, if you don't believe me, just search the terms, "human capital"
Bindi’s only female kitten. I rescued the litter (including Batman) in March 2014. I Photographed Cleo at 6 weeks old and used this photo to promote “forever” commitments. Bindi and Batman are still with me but the other 3 kittens were adopted by wonderful people and are all thriving. All of my rescues “work” and Batman has just raised $1,660 for the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and he will be a Calendar Boy in their 2016 calendar.

This is again an attempt to photograph people and daily life in Paris in a way that keep the anonymity of the person. I will post soon some examples where people are recognizable. Here I was fascinated by the light on the chairs and his way of raking the leaves

Sometimes I get lucky. This pair did not notice me standing with my tripod. They swam up close, completely undisturbed. Their gift presentation was also a gift to me; Clark's Grebes; Aechmophorus clarkii; Santa Margarita Lake; CA; USA
Because several family commitments and a lot of work these last few months I could not devote much time to get out and enjoy taking pictures.
This April I begin to share with you my new photographic objectives.
I hope you enjoy it.

In the words of a song written by British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber~ " Love changes everything " I was moved recently as I read of his journey through cancer and how the love of his wife had played such a vital part in his recovery.
The humanly side of photography contains at least three elements:
subjectivity
creativity
human initiative
If you going to purchase a camera and lenses you should try to be a photographer; however, for some (photographers?) laziness replaces human initiative.
Commitment
GRIEF CAN TAKE CARE OF ITSELF, BUT TO GET THE FULL VALUE OF A JOY YOU
MUST HAVE SOMEBODY TO DIVID IT WITH.

Family commitments have kept me away from photography (and Flickr) for most of the year and I am not sure that this will ease off . . .
I photographed this DLR Tunnel from a moving train one night after visiting my sister (she lives on the DLR route).

Some family commitments involving a trip upt’ North stopped me posting over the weekend, so to prevent another Flickr blockage I made sure I did photoshop editing on my return to keep things loose, so to speak. However, when I thought this LE seascape was going to be a gas, I was wrong. It turned out a bit lumpier than I expected and I had a lot of cleaning up to do. Overconfidence can lead to embarrassing mistakes. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

Dedicated Laysan albatross mates alternate parental duties taking turns sitting on the nest and foraging for food. Tending the nest can mean a commitment of up to two weeks or more before swapping duties and heading out to sea to feed. This Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) nest site was in the shade of a naio shrub on the sand dunes of Ka’ena Point.
This farmer stood there for hours, on the side of the highway, braving dust and pollution, to offer free food and sweets to the passing traffic.
I salute him !
I spent a couple of days in Nottingham this week due to a combination of family commitments and trying to cheer up an old buddy who's currently not quite as mobile as he'd like to be. Anyhow a more than pleasant day was spent revisiting the spots of my youth trying to secure a few pics and hopefully avoiding some of the mistakes I made 40 odd years ago.
This shot catches Freightliner Shed 66556 restarting from just south of Toton Yard and passing the level crossing on Station Road, Long Eaton that once served the station of the same name - that is before it was closed in January 1967 and the station formerly known as Sawley Junction became the "new" Long Eaton station.
The old LMS footbridge is still in situ, and surprisingly being given a repaint which suggests it's going to be around for a while yet, despite the open-lattice face which isn't exactly flavour of the month with Network Rail. The old station used to lie beyond the footbridge although pretty well all signs of it have now been obliterated and it would be hard to tell one previously existed.
Interestingly enough the Shed, working the 12.13 Leeds FLT - Southampton FLT (4O95), had been snapped not too many minutes earlier at Sandiacre just to the north of Toton Yard. The train typically has to wait time before threading the busy complex of lines around Trent Junction and, due to its length, is stopped a mile or so away to avoid fouling the two busy road crossings in Long Eaton. We were able to use this to our advantage and secure the two shots which, given freight was thin on the Erewash Valley that day, was helpful.
Quite a nice cloud formation here so I put on the 16-35 lens and went as wide as it would go - the lady wasn't trying to hide but rather manage her hair that was blowing in the sudden gust of wind - thankfully not a problem I had to deal with.
