One thing that amazes me about digital cameras is their uncanny ability to capture surface detail. This was, I'm sure, always possible in the analog world, but it took digital for me to appreciate it. It's amazing to me how a photo like this communicates; not in a conceptual, cultural, artistic way, but in the strict presentation of visual information.

Check this out in the largest size possible.

my little kitten is having major oral surgery today send a good thought to her please.

Imagine my surprise when, groggy and pissed about how early the stupid time change is so the stupid sun wasn't up at the totally reasonable hour of 6:30 when I left the house, I noticed there's a hockey net next to the misty pond at the farm. A hockey pond! That I've been walking past! Is this one of those dreamy cornfields that Sid Crosby and Pavel Bure walk out of?

Lovers bench or gossip bench? I don't know what kind of bench this is! If i see this bench, ideas of old people they where talking about other people or the weather....runs through my head. But what does the trash-can there? I know old people make a lot of garbage with there candy, photo's and papers or it's for things that young people use to make love. I don't know, i really don't know, i think, i think the last option. What do you think when you see this bench?

I'm not sure about the older look (sepia) of the capture..????

doesnt look to good the way this cow is lying (maybe it is normal, I'm no expert, as I took this picture I noticed the farmer coming towards the cow)

sun rises much to fast on mornings like this

go see the movie RIZE

Sold my first image with Getty Images this week, thought it deserved a framing.

Pictures taken during my Trip to Melbourne between March 26 to April 05, 2012.

Clerkenwell Green lies at the centre of the old village, by the church, and has a mix of housing, offices and pubs, dominated by an imposing former courthouse (built in 1782, extended by the Victorians, and now used as a Masonic Hall).

The name is something of a historical relic - Clerkenwell Green has had no grass for over 300 years. However, in conveying some impression of its history, it gives the appearance of one of the better-preserved village centres in what is now central London. In Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, Clerkenwell Green is where Fagin and the Artful Dodger induct Oliver into pickpocketing amongst shoppers in the busy market once held there. Indeed Dickens knew the area well and was a customer of the Finsbury Savings Bank on Sekforde Street, a street linking Clerkenwell Green to St John Street. In 1900 the London Government Act 1899 incorporated the civil parish of Clerkenwell, which also included the Pentonville area, into the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury. Clerkenwell Town Hall built in 1895 on Rosebery Avenue became Finsbury Town Hall.

Vengo a condividere con voi alcuni dischetti che da qualche tempo stanno allietando le mie ore lavorative e di migranza casa-ufficio, così che anche voi possiate comprarli (ah ah ah) e goderne.

Ordunque:

- These Four Walls, degli scozzesi We Were Promised Jetpacks. Indie con un accento. Debutto strepitoso.

- Broken degli inglesi Soulsavers. Non è bello ciò che è bello, ma che bello che bello che bello! C'è tutto: atmosfera, ritmi medio-lenti, sguitarate, voce roca e pezzi oltre i 5 min. Da gustare di sera, facendo roba zozza *grin*.

- Return to Cookie Mountain degli ammerigani TV On The Radio. C'è anche un secondo

album ma io continuo a preferire questo. È un disco strano ma mi prende un casino. O forse sono io lo strano? Bah.

- A Woman A Man Walked By di PJ Harvey e John Parish. Vabbè che c'è da dire su Polly Jean se non "puro genio"?

- Little Dreamer della biondina riccioluta bristoliana Beth Rowley. Dimenticatevi di Amy. Se vi gusta un mix di jazz, r&b, cover di Dylan, una voce angelica e vene pulite, l'avete trovato. Grazie Marta per avermela fatta conoscere.

Buon acquisto (ah ah ah)

For the first time in five months I got to walk to work today. My assignment at the icky, alternate office site is coming to an end soon, and I can't wait to be able to get my morning walk regularly again. Being out of practice, I was making a pretty desultory job of taking pictures, so imagine my delight when I picked up the camera after shooting this without looking. Hello accidental macro lens-flare action!

This is my first shot on sheet film, taken on an ADOX CHS 100 6.5x9 sheet with the Ideal 250/3. Shot from the streetcar D on our last visit to Vienna.

This one (and the one in comments) were developed by my lab, but at 6€ each sheet (!!!) I guess I must begin thinking seriously about developing b&w film at home...

Esta es mi primera foto en película plana, tomada sobre una hoja 6.5x9 de ADOX CHS 100 con la Ideal 250/3. Hecha desde el tranvía D durante nuestra última visita a Viena.

Esta foto (y la de los comentarios) fueron reveladas por mi laboratorio, pero a 6€ cada hoja (!!!) creo que voy a tener que empezar a plantearme seriamente el revelado en blanco y negro en casa...

Intrigued as to why the iPad must be held out in the aisle. Is it to get the right light on the screen or avoid a reflection? Or is it for the benefit of the audience?

loved the golden light from the rising sun to the right of me

19th Street Bart Station -

With the close-up, space expands; with slow motion, movement is extended.

The lane is full of shops selling bangles. Also other items made of glass. The lane is narrow and is heavily trafficked by vehicles of all sizes. You can see the relativity in the image. :)

A summer B&W shot in the middle of a cold, snowy winter. And starting tomorrow, a new weekly series: Mar's pregnancy, on film. Stay tuned to my photostream :)

Una toma en blanco y negro de una tarde de verano en mitad en un invierno frío y con nieve. Y, a partir de mañana, una nueva serie semanal: el embarazo de Mar, en película analógica. Permaneced atentos a mi photostream :)

Last September I said that I was beginning to miss winter already. Well, guess what?, winter is here! :)

On the first two, peaceful snowfall covering everything with its silence. On the last, the violent snowstorm we had yesterday.

[dedicated, of course, to Ana, who asked me to shoot a picture of snowy grounds and tree branches drawn by slight white lines...]

En septiembre dije que empezaba a echar de menos el invierno. Bueno, pues ya hace unas semanas que lo tenemos aquí! :)

En las dos primeras, los copos de nieve cayendo lentamente y envolviéndolo todo con su silencio. En la última, un instante de la violenta ventisca que tuvimos ayer.

[dedicada, por supuesto, a la Montalvo, que me pidió que le hiciera una foto invernal, con el suelo blanco y las ramas de los árboles recortadas por finas líneas blancas...]

this is where i was last week. drinking veuve clicquot and staring at this view every day. i want to go back. now.

I'm afraid of no artistic merit at all, just testing the 75/300 zoom lens I got for the new Canon. View from the top of the Itchen Bridge on a grey day this morning, looking out across the Old Town over the Independence of the Seas to Marchwood in the distance.

This is the view I get each weekday morning as I cycle into work. Fantastic, even on an overcast day like today.

Was itching so badly to shoot this off the MRT ramp......

One would have to highly praise the fancy Architecture implemented in the design

of Melbournes modern Railway Station.

Morning commute on the train seems like the perfect time for self-portraits. I ignore the strange looks.
