Dedicated and diligent photographer, removing a freshly printed photo from the stop bath in a darkroom

Part of my photostory project, I decided to go to the local steelwork, Corvus/Rowecord.

Had a good time, took a bunch of great shots, but this is probably my favourite.

Amazing place, the work they do there is on a crazy scale. 180 tonnes of steel being made into a bridge, and 20ft diameter pipes being welded.

Camera: Nikon D40 (with sensor mod), 18-55mm lens.

These pots made by Filipino tribesmen about 2 centuries ago represents the artistry of our ancestors from which Philippine Architecture derives its identity.

These shopfront mosaics are increasingly rare. Some fine examples in Aberystwyth.

Handmade to last, when businesses were also expected to last. Beautiful craftsmanship.

This is a 1/3 model of the engine that powered the Wright Flyer on her flight over the sands of Kitty Hawk. At that time, no engine builder could provide a sufficiently lightweight power plant, so the Wrights had to build their own. The engine featured a cast aluminum block, an extremely rare practice at that time, with steel cylinder sleeves. There was also no caburetor or fuel pump - a primitive version of a modern fuel-injection system was used, with gas being gravity-fed into the crank case via a rubber tube from ba fuel tank mounted on a wing strut.

I had some offcuts of plain white printer paper from a printing job I was doing, so rather than waste it, I punched loads of snowflakes. I used the X-Cut Impress snowman Die-Cut stencil and coloured him with Sakura glaze pens and some sparkly glue and assembled it all on a holographic card background on a pearly blue cardstock.

I made this when I was in the Cub Scouts...in 1976! It's still in use at my parents' house. I knew how to make furniture when I was 9. Dig that groovy pattern, baby.

The greatness of a craft consists firstly in how it brings comradeship to men.

Pride in Craftsmanship!

I love Tim Pewe's rustic carvings in stone and wood. Equally impressive are his marble inlays and cement sculptures. I was extremely excited to receive this marionette from a recent art trade with him. Thanks Tim!!!

Actually this is fixed now so it is OK.

But seriously... what is that???

The Heritage Collection Egyptomania celebrates the pioneering spirit of Montblanc. Reinterpreting the writing instrument, it features a longer, slimmer silhouette and craftsmanship refined over generations. With its octagonal shape, this writing instrument is reminiscent of the octagonal-shaped writing instruments designed by Montblanc in the 1920's, which included Egyptian-style engravings: so-called "Egyptian pens". Created in black precious resin and platinum-coated metal, it features "Montblanc" on the cap in Egyptian hieroglyphics, and a scarab beetle on the clip.

This is a beautiful vintage apartment building, but I find that brown really does not look good in photographs, and it's tricky to try to tweak that color.

The 102-year-old Ford Model T at the Richmond Sunflower Festival is a showstopper—a beautifully preserved piece of automotive history nestled among fields of golden blooms 🌻🚗.

️ A Glimpse into the Past

Festival Feature

• Year: Circa 1923, making it 102 years old in 2025

• Model: Likely a Ford Model T Touring Car or Pickup, both popular in rural Canada during the early 20th century

• Legacy: The Model T revolutionized transportation, bringing mobility to farmers and families across North America

• Displayed as part of the agricultural heritage theme at Richmond Country Farms

• Often parked near the sunflower fields or rustic props, serving as a nostalgic photo backdrop

• Its weathered patina, spoked wheels, and upright windshield evoke the spirit of BC’s early farming communities

🌻 Why It Matters

• The vehicle connects visitors to the roots of Richmond’s farming history

• It complements the festival’s celebration of nature, resilience, and craftsmanship

• A living tribute to the ingenuity of early settlers—much like the Eva at Finn Slough
