PCA07
This is a one and on-half week assignment (to get us back to Sunday due dates). The goal is to celebrate tools. Tools and their use are arguably the basis of life as we know it. Almost every object in our lives is a tool; everything from a hammer or kitchen knife to a camera, computer or bulldozer. For this assignment, pretty much everything from a still life of a hammer or knife to a dump truck or the space shuttle is acceptable. Tools in use are fine and in context great; but the tool must be prominent and obvious. As always, wall grade art is what we strive for.
I'm hoping that you will pick a tool(s) that makes an obvious difference in your life or else which portrays a concept that is important to you. If you are a carpenter, hammers, saws and such are important. If you are a cook, knives, pots, stoves, etc. are important. If you are a programmer, I don't know how to take a picture of your editor. If you are a photographer, clearly the camera is iconic. I'm hopeful that we do not end up with 50 pictures of cameras. Anyway, you get the picture (pun intended.)
St Peter's church at Gaulby is one I'd long wanted to see ever since being intrigued by seeing a photo of that distinctive 18th century tower crowned by those bizarre spiky pinnacles (a unique fusion of Baroque, Gothic and Chinese elements in terms of design!). It took me a long time to finally see it for myself, but seeing that tower basking in the sunshine was a sight that didn't disappoint.
The medieval church here was mostly rebuilt in 1741 (under the direction of William Fortrey who later had neighbouring King's Norton church similarly replaced) with John Wing the Elder of Leicester as architect. The old chancel remained more or less unaltered but remarkably the nave was rebuilt in a sympathetic style, and with its tall Perpendicular-style windows it could easily be mistaken as late medieval work. This approach however changed radically in the building of the tower at the west end, which is entirely Baroque in character more typical of its age, aside from the fact it is crowned with four of the most fanciful pinnacles ever conceived, the effect akin to a Gothic parapet crowned by mini-pagodas at the corners! It is a unique design and something really rather special.
The interior by contrast lacks the excitement of the exterior, it is quite an austere space and has lost its 18th century furnishings to 20th century re-ordering (the attractive baluster font however remains). The old chancel beyond seems by contrast dark and mysterious, largely thanks to some of the windows having been blocked in and the east window containing a rich display by Burlison & Grylls, the only stained glass in the church (though actually the first coloured window I'd seen on this trip!).
Gaulby church (also called 'Galby in Pevsner) used to be open for limited times during Summer pre-Covid but I'm not sure of the arrangement now. I feared another 'porch only opening' upon my arrival here as the register for Ride & Stride was set up ready in there, but happily a note on the inner door claimed 'it was safe to enter here' and the door yielded accordingly, making me very happy as it was the second of my 'must see' churches on this itinerary.

More of Kimber Collins... we had four lighting setups in the studio, and four models, and after everyone had a chance to practice with each model, they all rotated counter-clockwise to the next lighting setup and the photographers went around again. Here, instead of a black backdrop, Kimber was posed against white; and instead of the strongly directional lighting in the last setup, this one was more balanced. Still, you have to have a brighter key light and dimmer secondary to create dimension. One thing that really works for me about this image is that the brighter light is in the direction she's facing, yet she's looking over her shoulder, so you get the bright light on the face, with vivid color in the blue mask and red lips, contrasted against the darker shadows on her shoulder. The contrast of bright and subtle color really works for me.

Ora a vederlo così sembra sfacciatamente l'omino di PenZiero, mi rendo conto,
ma invece questa foto è una delle ultime della compianta Powershot,
Copenhagen gennaio 2007.
Ovviamente il senso della foto sta tutto nel cartello:
siete abbastanza furbi da capirlo?
No, eh?
Lo sapevo.
L'ho riesumata perché mi pare abbastanza valida,
anche per la teoria di Marco secondo cui
ero molto più brava prima a fare le foto
(mi ha gettato nel panico questa teoria, inutile negarlo)
in case anyone got lost.
