When I get my things together to begin my transformation, I see myself as graphite.
The application of makeup, the donning of pads and forms, the dressing in fine fabrics, the glueing on of nails, the rounding out with a wig, the decorating with jewelry, and the final spritz of perfume - these combined represent the time and pressure necessary to make a diamond.
As an artist, I've often wondered at the beauty of the human form, specifically that of women, independent of sexual attraction. It is a lovely, impressive thing, a remarkable machine that can look stunning and carry itself fluidly, even elegantly.
It can also look absolutely horrifying, act miserably, and move with the grace of a drunken moose. But we don't need to talk about those examples.

I think all the Iron Forge competitors are familiar with the situation. My build from round 1 sitting on the building table, while I'm dreaming about the next Iron Forge build.
10 cups/goblets have been used throughout the moc: 1 for the pick-a-brick cup on the table, 2 for the headboard, 1 for the dreaming cloud,1 for the left pillow, 2 for the sandals, 1 for the lamp and 2 for the curtains "hook".
Made for the 2024 Iron Forge Round 2.

Beyond forging art from iron, THAK's works in bronze are something to see

Captured forging north in premium afternoon light, Bombardier 'Super Voyagers' (fitted with tilting mechanism and different bogies) VT 221114 & 221101 on 1S77 13.18 London Euston - Glasgow.
Much maligned and I only photograph them in very good light, the Avanti West Coast Voyagers are now an 'endangered species'.
I personally hate to travel on these things but they have put in a prodigious amount of miles for their TOC's since their introduction in 2002.
* In December 2019, Avanti West Coast placed an order for 10 seven-car Class 807 electric units which will replace its Voyager fleet, along with 13 Class 805 bi-mode units as part of £350 million contract with Hitachi. These entered service in 2024.
The first loon I've ever found on Horn lake and since there are a few homes and some campsites, it seems reasonably habituated to humans in kayaks so I could get fairly close without scaring it. What a beauty!

A fairly accurate representation of how we felt after our moving sale this past Saturday. But, nothing daunted, we're forging ahead to move out by September 24th. May the angels send in their equivalent of the Marines to help with the mountain of tasks remaining to be done, lol. This rose is from a bouquet that I just didn't have time to photograph when it was in full bloom.
A careful walk on the traditional cobble paths of the Zagori villages in Northern Greece will reveal a variety of rusty metal details like hand forged iron knockers -for the guest to announce his arrival to the landlord- decorating the weather beaten wooden doors and windows of the old traditional stone houses. These details are interesting to notice as they reveal, in their own language that is, the history of these time worn buildings and villages.

“The river moves, but it follows a path. When it tires of one journey, it rubs through some rock to forge a new way. Hard work, but that's its nature.”
― Kekla Magoon, The Rock and the River

A steam hammer, also called a drop hammer, is an industrial power hammer driven by steam that is used for tasks such as shaping forgings and driving piles. Typically the hammer is attached to a piston that slides within a fixed cylinder, but in some designs the hammer is attached to a cylinder that slides along a fixed piston.
The concept was described by James Watt in 1784, but it was not until 1840 that the first working steam hammer was built to meet the needs of forging increasingly large iron or steel components. In 1843 there was an acrimonious dispute between François Bourdon of France and James Nasmyth of Britain over who had invented the machine. Bourdon had built the first working machine, but Nasmyth claimed it was built from a copy of his design.
Steam hammers proved to be invaluable in many industrial processes. Technical improvements gave greater control over the force delivered, greater longevity, greater efficiency and greater power. A steam hammer built in 1891 by the Bethlehem Iron Company, based on a French design, delivered a 125-ton blow.
In the 20th century steam hammers were gradually displaced in forging by mechanical and hydraulic presses, but some are still in use. Compressed air power hammers, descendants of the early steam hammers, are still manufactured.
The example seen above was built by R G Ross & Son in Glasgow in 1955 and it was installed in Chatham Dockyard's No. 1 Smithery later that year. It was dismantled when the Smithery ceased production in 1974. It has been re-erected in the open area between the Smithery (off to the right above) and the Covered Yards (partially seen to the left) as part of development of the Dockyard as a tourist venue. The light green colour is typical of how the Dockyard's machine tools were painted during the 20th century.

The Forging of the One Ring-
“The Elves made many rings; but secretly Sauron made One Ring to rule all the others, and their power was bound up with it, to be subject wholly to it and to last only so long as it too should last. And much of the strength and will of Sauron passed into that One Ring; for the power of the Elven-rings was very great, and that which should govern them must be a thing of surpassing potency; and Sauron forged it in the Mountain of Fire in the Land of Shadow. And while he wore the One Ring he could perceive all the things that were done by means of the lesser rings, and he could see and govern the very thoughts of those that wore them.”
Also please note that this is my first attempt at editing. I’d love tips or feed back
A shot of the Blacksmith at King's Landing in Prince William, NB making a wedding ring for a daughter of one of the more well to do villagers who would be paying in cash. He was making it with a leaf design since she liked gardening. Once done, we was going finish it with bee's wax. 17 July 2020.
I was visiting the WWT Welney nature reserve when I saw this mute swan very gingerly step onto and walk through a flock of black-tailed Godwits on one of the shallow islands. It took the best part of a minute for the swan to walk a few meters before settling down, and most of the time the Godwits were happy with what was happening - but this is the moment a few of them decided they wanted to relocate just in case!
Sadly, the Finkl metal forging company will not be at this location much longer--they are moving to the South Side. I'll miss coming here on Sundays, when they are closed, and taking photos of their acres of strange machines, metal scraps, and cool buildings.

This is the second image for my metamorphosis project at University. After noting down my initial ideas for the project I thought of around 10 in just a short space of time, and as I only need 4 for my final assignment I've decided to make a new series out of the images, so I have reason to shoot the other ideas and possibly more!
This was shot in a field of bluebells, I'm not sure if that's obvious here but it was a very beautiful place to be, especially whilst we were there at around 8pm and the sky was losing light and turning dusky.
Thank you also to Connor for coming shooting with us and holding back the parachute when it kept billowing out!
P.S my Facebook page only needs 6 more likes to reach 400! I'd be ever so grateful to anyone who'd go and check it out and like or even share it :)
Oh, and of course, this photo was incredibly inspired by both Brooke Shaden and her sac series, and Alex Stoddard with his many images linking back to nature and ideas of metamorphosis.
Forging ties beyond borders. A string of sentence vaguely familiar. A sweet candour embalmed in spirits.
Some of you who had followed my work for the longest time might have find this lady familiar. Yes, she's the beautiful soul we met at the Sarawak Cultural Village, March last year.

The 1931 baby is seen hard at work forging the new year.
One of the most recognizable illustrations of J. C. Leyendecker’s storied career as a commercial artist is the New Year’s Baby he designed for the cover of “The Saturday Evening Post” at the beginning of each year. His first baby was delivered for the December 29, 1906 issue of the Post, and the series continued uninterrupted until 1943, each one insightfully capturing the spirit of the times.
Leyendecker was continually searching for better ways to depict the holidays. He created many fanciful covers that caught the spirit of Christmas, Fourth of July, Easter, and Thanksgiving. But the New Year’s babies are arguably his most memorable.

The Good Panda was present as I shot this 3 minute exposure of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as it launched from Cape Canaveral. The photo was taken on the beach in Vero Beach, Florida which is about 70 miles south of the launch site. This launch released 60 Starlink satellites which will help create a network to deliver broadband internet service to parts of the world that have no access. It was shot using a Tokina fish eye lens. SpaceX is forging a new path as is Flickr.

Walking along W. Diversey Avenue to photograph the former Hammond Organ Company headquarters, I spotted open windows (with accompanying noise) on the south side of the street. The building houses Larson Forgings, a subsidiary of Charles E. Larson & Sons, Inc., a manufacturing and warehousing complex that serves businesses including aircraft engine manufacturers, oil patch suppliers, petrochemical corporations and power-generation companies. The company, founded in 1895, has two buildings consisting of 180,000 square-feet along N. Keeler and W. Diversey avenues.
