Borth, Ceredigion, Wales, UK - my tripod snapped just before I took this picture so I had to carefully balance the broken leg and hope that my camera did not fall!
A short wander up the road enabled this shot of the Carlisle to Chirk logs to be taken at Appleside, 60085 providing the oomph.
Before AurĆ©lien, I met a red-hair Irlandish guy, with a nice style. He was ok for posing, but in a hurry, so I did not get him. I also asked another guy, tall, with light eyes, who was also ok, but he did not want to sign my publication authorisation because he is actor. He is quite strict with the image rights because the image is his job. He did not say me in what film he played. Yes, itās always quick meetings, definitely furtive, and itās hard know all we want to know.
Then I met AurƩlien, a nice guy, who is optician. He was going to drink something with friends some meters far away. And enabled me to close my project !
Thank you AurƩlien !
And yes ! This is the end ! I will publish another photo with all the explanations about this project, and why there are only few photos. But, just a hint, look at the date of the photo. Thanks for following me, and for all of your comments, because even if there are only few photos, it was quite hard to complete. Thank you again !

This is a picture of a weathered wooden board. It was taken at a very flatt angle with a 100mm macro lens at close distance and wide open.

This image is probably one of the most personal, and visually meaningful, images I've ever posted.
A perfect storm of stress, depression, illness and a severe lack of sleep over a period of several weeks culminated in putting my head into one of the scariest places it's ever been in, and appropriately enough whilst on a 3 day holiday sabbatical in the mountains of Snowdonia last week. They were 3 days I hope I never have to experience the like of which again. The sense of isolation, of disjointedness from the world around me, of not even being sure who I was anymore was emotionally and mentally excruciating. The nights were the worst, unable to sleep I experienced the full depth of myself while at the same time feeling so terrifyingly distant from everything in existence. Identity and reality fractured, insanity beckonedā¦
Strangely enough, as much as it scared me, it was finding my depth that was my saviour, that and the love of a woman who reached down into my personal hell, gently pulled me out and helped me see the light again, inner and outer. If she hadn't been there to listen to my ramblings, my fears, and to comfort me in the darkest moments, I dread to think what the consequences for my mental health would have been.
I've thought long and hard about revealing such a personal experience here on flickr, but ultimately I'm willingly to do so if it helps just one person going through something similar to take a risk and reach out and talk to someone they trust implicitly, and maybe you who read this with a sound mind could extend a hand to someone who you know is going through their own personal hell and be the spar they cling onto in their storm tossed ocean, and slowly but surely carry them back to the safety of the shore. Don't worry, you don't have to come up with answers to their issues, it's enough to lend an ear to their fears. I tried to deal it with by myself but badly crashed and burned. I kept quiet because of pride, fear and the belief that no one could help me. They can. Find that person you trust, and talk, talk like there's no tomorrow, don't leave it until you're hanging on by your fingernails like I did.

Massacre Cave Overlook, Canyon de Chelly National Monument
Canyon de Chelly was another favorite spot of mine out of the many places I visited during my Four Corners trip. The sheer depth of the canyon itself harbored much breathtaking landscape. And the rich history of both ancient Puebloans and modern Native Americans was a complex symphony.
Season of Photographic Eye - picture 11
Week 50, Wednesday
The photographic eye, which I've been discussing for whole season, is all about learning your own way of seeing things, applying it to your photography in a more conscious way and bringing greater depth & personal style to your photography. The opposite of using the photographic eye are the numerous images we often take which just 'snapshots' or uninteresting in other ways. Now, when it comes to taking interesting images that in some way manifests one's photographic eye, I'll be first one to admit that most of the shots I take are 'snapshots' indeed and only few of many really satisfy me. I find myself often thinking that a good image cannot be just a flat representation of the reality. Instead the photographer has to add something to it by using photographic means which lifts it beyond a snapshot. The obvious following question is, of course, how one should to do that?
At the simplest level adding something to image might be the skillful construction of the image. With a skillful construction I refer to images that are good in both technical and conceptual level. Carefully chosen subject, good exposure and sense of light, satisfying sharpness, correct choice of the used focal length, etc.. While these might sound pretty basic things, I wouldn't underestimate their meaning and sometimes basic things are enough. One should also remember that there are no rules carved into a stone (even the famous rules of third). There are certainly rules, but I would like think them as a flexible repertoire of suggestions that are pretty often broken as well. One also learns his/her own way of translating these rules into photography. Personally I like, for example, to use 50mm lens (equivalent of 75mm on a full frame) for many pictures because it gives me a bit of telecompression and lets me often isolate convenient slices from reality. I have learned to translate many of the photography basics around this focal length and it shows in my photography. That being said, I often feel I would need to know the basics much better to be able to come with a skillful photograph from any situation.
Another way to way to lift photographs to another level is to create images that evoke reactions. (Indeed, Captain Obvious!) Snapshots of course don't evoke much of reactions, but then again there are loads of technically great photographs that don't evoke those reactions either. It's because we become tired of seeing similar images, visual motifs and tropes - even if they are perfectly realized. While 'the perfect sunset' and many others are old clichƩs, there are also new ones created everyday as well. Personally I feel, for example, that certain kind of edgy wide-angle landscapes with post processed skies and distant horizon have become a bit too widespread to evoke reactions anymore (you see these often at the cover of photography magazines). They are admired from technical point of view, but their quality as photographs are reduced because they have become new clichƩs. Personally I like to, just like many others, add a bit of dark sublime character in to my photographs when possible, but I make sure that I work on a border of interpretation where it is not so explicitly pronounced. Often just a little bit of underexposing the scene to make shadows and contrast stronger is enough - if the subject is already fitting for it.
Where things get hard, is trying to create pictures that offer more than one level of experience. This is the most powerful way to bring greater depth and own vision into photographs, but it is also perhaps the hardest. Sometimes one can have a concept in mind which will create another level on interpretation, like juxtaposing different elements for example. Sometimes it happens by accident and is only noticed when pictures are viewed later on from the computer screen. When I create 'a concept-image' I have often already taken that image before without the concept and my idea springs up when viewing it from the screen. Some image might be perfect in my mind if it had lemons in it, for example. If the concept is doable and sounds like a fun idea, I pack my packs and go to take it again with a new idea. Some of the best images I've done have required at least couple of tries on different days to get it right, but it's most often worth it.
Ps. I haven't explained much of the posted images as they have been pretty self-explanatory. This one, however, benefits from little explanation. For this picture I went to local ice swimming house and while it isn't quite a street photography, it isn't very far from it either: the ice swimming house is situated very close to central and it happened to have more traffic than the main street. Before swimmers descend into almost zero degrees water they warm up in sauna. This particular day there were so many of them that they were in lines walking down to chilly water.

"Its coursing through my veins now, I give myself to the flame.
I'm beyond the helping hand now, you are the one I now blame.
Violence and anger merge together, crowning my head with shame.
I ignore the voice that soothes and your destruction I do proclaim." -Anna Valeriya

365 from the archive~ day 16~ Congo
Some images print themselves in our minds and on our hearts because they affect us beyond the surface of visual impression. They go deep, they etch a mark on our soul...
If you were to ask me what moment in my journey to Congo was the most haunting, I would say this one when I took this photograph. This child was one of the youngest in the center for demobilized child soldiers. He never spoke, he just stood there and let his eyes that stared without blinking, the scar on his chin and his cloud of melancholy speak for him. His gaze was steady, his look far but near, his mind unreadable. It was a child who spent far too much time in the playground of the lords of war and cruelty.
Long coloured poles are used to test the depth of the River Irrawaddy in Lower Myanmar in order to plot channels through the sandbanks.
I like to play around with the razor thin focus of this lens, and I have nothing good to upload today, not yet. I'll find something later. Poker night! Plus I'm done all my work, woohoo!
Explored!

The photo gives a basic understanding of the regular chores of the fishing community of Hogganekkal.
In an age where everything is very instant. I love the wait to find out how a shot has come out. Taken on my Nikon FM2.
"Depth Perception:" Aldous Huxley has stated, "There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception." Looking into this scene, it became difficult for me to tell the depth of the water; some of the submerged rocks were visible below the surface, but the reflections from the trees and rocks above began to play tricks on my eyes. I did end up crossing the creek and found the deepness varied with the undulating terrain below.
