“Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.”
- Henry Anatole Grunwald

The next couple of years aren't going to be fun at all.. All good things must end, though.. Hopefully good things start back up soon. Time to be an adult T_T.
As I slowly regain my 365 Danbo project, I have to say I've really miss it.
I might start including various links to things (Mostly music probably), today is music, dubstep to be specific.
Today's song inspired me a lot. Both in the taking of the photo and the editing.

Hope you enjoy.

Piercing candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured in front of the monument and statue to Wellington, who is always wearing a traffic cone, I am mesmerised by this guy's expression. To me one half of his face appears to be angry and the other half appears to be curious. Thank you all for supporting my street photography.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. At first I was disappointed that my subject ruined the shot by diving forwards beyond the focus range of my lens - I was capturing this very close-up shot as he was dancing to a street performer.
Actually he leant forwards to pat me on the back in a thank you as I clicked the shot and on reflection I love the look of this shot despite the imperfection! If anything it is a demonstration of how close I get to my subjects that at 35mm focal length he can just lean forward to pat me on the back. I'm just glad he was friendly!

Seasonal Christmas vibes, in London.
Shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 AIS manual focus lens (from around 1980) and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
A star magnolia (Magnolia stellata) captured at Live Oak Manor Park in Los Gatos, California. The star magnolia, is a slow-growing shrub or small tree native to Japan. It bears large, showy white or pink flowers in early spring, before its leaves open.
“...freshly cut Christmas trees smelling of stars and snow and pine resin - inhale deeply and fill your soul with wintry night...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain
The moon was shining brightly during sunset, which presented me an opportunity to attempt a depth-of-field moon shot with the moon showing through some branches on one of my trees.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Sneaking a little candid eye contact in here and obviously momentarily distracting one of the women in this animated discussion. Enjoy full screen by pressing 'L'.
The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon," referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations. Experts recognize 17 to 19 subspecies, which vary in appearance and range; disagreement exists over whether the distinctive Barbary falcon is represented by two subspecies of Falco peregrinus, or is a separate species, F. pelegrinoides. The two species' divergence is relatively recent, during the time of the last ice age, therefore the genetic differential between them (and also the difference in their appearance) is relatively tiny. They are only about 0.6–0.8% genetically differentiated.
While its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the peregrine will occasionally hunt small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures. The peregrine falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of the widespread use of certain pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970s, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.
The peregrine falcon is a well respected falconry bird due to its strong hunting ability, high trainability, versatility, and – in recent years – availability via captive breeding. It is effective on most game bird species, from small to large.
