Front view from the street of house number 26. The entire town was built to house miners so they wouldn't have to make the long drive from the nearest town to the mine. All mining employees were given residence here in exchange for working the mine.
Night, near full moon hidden behind heavy cloud cover, 180 second exposure, protomachines flashlight set to red, white & blue.

Western Forest Products #304 suffered an engine failure in 2012. The prime mover was removed for repair in Campbell River. The photo was taken October 17, 2012 in the locomotive shop at Nimpkish.
26015 had been declared a failure at Carnoustie whilst working the Dundee to Montrose Hillside trip,
20222 was summoned from Dundee to effect a rescue - the load was moved back into the down siding before the cl 20 took to failed cl 26 back to Dundee.

it was an idea I had in mind for a while but just folding it today. some people found the snail good in my last picture so I decide to use it again, it's an easy way to fold a snail !
The morning breaks so cold... so cold
My face it looks so old... so old...
I rend my nails on the wall I've built around me
Only in the shade can I be free...
Only in the shade I can be... Me
what do you think? this is a long-exposure that has been purposefully over-processes -- I think it looks OK, but is it a success or failure?

...to see the big picture. Amusing myself by creating a little mystery, an abstract by selection. Why is this rock brown? Why is there a rope? Clearly, I have too much time on my hands.
It is far too easy to fall into the trap of only broadcasting the good things about ourselves; our happy days, our successes, our best lives. Be it in conversation with others or more often than not through social media we want to prove to everyone else how good we are.
Photographers can be especially guilty of this. We don't want people to think we're not very good. With the trillions of photos there are there we're each trying to get people to pay attention to our images more than others. This does help to create a false impression of success rate though. It can look like everything works out perfectly each time. This is far from true though, with many having far more failures than successes.
As such I wish to start occasionally sharing some of my photography failures, starting with this real slap to the head moment. It was September 2013 and my early days of going on photo charters. Barrow Hill Roundhouse Railway Centre is a wonderfully atmospheric place and I was really looking forward to my first photography event there.
I finished work and made the dash up to Derbyshire, arriving just as the event was getting going. At the gate I handed over the money and parked up, eager to start. So I opened the boot to get my gear, unzipped my camera bag, looked at the empty space where my camera should have been, zipped up the bag and shut the boot.
I was really annoyed at myself and felt incredibly stupid. There was nothing I could do about it though so I had a quick stroll around the site to stretch my legs then headed home.
These things happen though and I laugh about it now. I imagine many of you have similar stories even if you may not want to admit to them. Not everything we do is a success but we should accept it though and show the world that the bad moments happen just as much as the good.

When I was planning on making this image I only wanted to try my hand at the half submerged manipulation, but it has turned into something...more. I feel like I might be drifting back to the person I was last year which I can tell you was a nightmare, I felt constantly down and it was like living in a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. My dad has been talking behind my back and saying that I'm lazy and I'll never do anything with my life, I guess that's why I feel like my nightmare self again....I'm sorry I let my anxiety get in the way. I'm sorry I'm not good enough, that I'm not clever enough. I'm just sorry for being me.....So make of this piece what you will.

Having some difficulty of late seeing the world. More succinctly, producing the frames I know are out there. When I go to post something, I feel like I am watching cable television -- many channels to choose from, but the overwhelming sense that there is nothing 'on'.
Challenging part of our passion. I lose interest in my work often, as I am sure we all do...just another one of those times I guess.
Hate the ruts.
Thanks for listening.

Damn! Laura has changed. She has grown all emotional.
Suddenly she cares for these test subjects. She really is forgetting her place in all this.
I showed her the failures room and she got angry. With a look of disgust she ran off.
Strange, for a moment I saw something else in her eyes. Hope?

“What he realised, and more clearly as time went on, was that money-worship has been elevated into a religion. Perhaps it is the only real religion-the only felt religion-that is left to us. Money is what God used to be. Good and evil have no meaning any longer except failure and success. Hence the profoundly significant phrase, to make good. The decalogue has been reduced to two commandments. One for the employers-the elect, the money priesthood as it were- 'Thou shalt make money'; the other for the employed- the slaves and underlings'- 'Thou shalt not lose thy job.'

Project Prometheus
Assessment report
Date 29 10 2631
>> Confidential <<
Initial contamination with the agent of P381-X9341-A showed great potential. However Dr. M03198 failed to keep the infection quarantined. After the incident, the Prometheus was sealed off. With no food supply the infected crew turned on itself. We continued to monitor the situation closely.
When the power reactor started to show signs of failure we sent in a squad to extract the sole non infected crew member. They were able to reach the pod but were ambushed. From the final video transmission we could see the target was already starting to mutate. Sending in another squad is useless.
It was decided to stop the program. We disabled the Prometheus' guidance matrix and shut down the power core remotely. The ship is now following a decaying orbit around the planet and will crash on it's surface within a few days.
Project Prometheus is terminated effective immediately.
Project Chronos is still go.
This is the first in a photographic series I'm calling Living Large, which will feature whimsical 1/64 scale model scenes built around a real object that is decidedly out of scale.
I haven't had much time to draw this month, but every second I got I spent on this. Its my first drawing I've done with meaning behind it. I'm really happy with how it came out :)

This is my next daily picture for my 365 project.
Wish you all a great start in the new week =)

Having done at least 500 noisy laps around my living room on Wednesday, this pesky house fly suddenly experienced catastrophic engine failure, and plummeted to the carpet! Having been quite irritated by its constant buzzing earlier, I now felt a bit sorry for it, so picked it up and placed it on the table. It was quite lethargic and stayed put for this long exposure (1.3 seconds!), before I popped it in a safe place outside.
I took this image with my MP-E 65mm lens, at around 1x magnification, f/14. It's only had a slight crop.
Created accidently when combining wrong pictures to a HDR photo, really!

Tried to repair the leaky bellows my GS645 came with. Let's just say it didn't quite work. :D
Had to bite the bullet and replace the bellows, which fortunately turned out to be much simpler than I thought.
The other misspelled meat.
Incidentally this is how I say chicken at better restaurants.
(Which is a lie, because I don't go to better restaurants.)
Another attempt at the 11 service outside Sainsbury`s, Bilton. Behind Flexibus YJ59 NNP is an illegally parked car in the 'drop-off/pick up' point which is often abused by lazy bone idle customers. This prevented me getting the desired angle of the bus, and ultimately, my desired composition, so a compromise had to be made again. Third time lucky, perhaps?

This third example of failure mode shows three bee hives in disrepair beside the McIntosh c rib. I thought that it was only the human critter that soiled his own home. That especially applies in the Trump kingdom. Here, these bees seem unable to maintain their own home. What gives? They left the place safe for the bunny at the left margin. He doesn't seem concerned about me at all but then I am not concerned about him either.
I have stood right next to the active hives on the corner of McIntosh Ag Museum wondering if there was a picture there. Maybe I'll figure out a good shot yet. It seems that they never bother with me at all so long as I don't get into their beesiness. Who knew? I bet if one of them landed on me and I held still, a bee would loose interest right away.
Well, I headed toward the Loop Trail around McIntosh Lake. This was a dandy day with bank of clouds streaming from the mountains. I originally thought that I better get some exercise but here I am trying to hold still once again. There is always something at McIntosh. I am fighting time poorly spent behind this keyboard and monitor. Amazon and Echo don't want you to get up and move but scientists say that after all their studies on longevity, exercise is the most reliable way to extend life; exercise.
