This was the first time I had seen and photographed these guys.
This shot was taken with the 500mm and a Canon 1.4x teleconverter on a Wimberley head & Gitzo tripod set up. Amazing stuff.
Having some Lawn Fawn fun.

The enormous Hitachi 1200 started casting basin excavation at the SR 520 Pontoon Construction Project site in Aberdeen May 2, 2011. The excavator has an 8-yard bucket and can fill a standard dump truck in one scoop.
This one I thought would be a good magazine cover. Intentionally left copy space at the top for a logo. My intention was to focus on healthy eating for the new year.
I returned to Digbeth to get the Digbeth Institute as I noticed that the scaffolding had come down. The scaffolding also came down on Devonshire House.
I got off my bus, and took these shots of The White Swan on Bradford Street, on the corner with Birchall Street.
Haven't seen much of the main Digbeth High Street since my bus route switched to going up Bradford Street.
I am thinking of one day properly doing Bradford Street, but not yet.
Note: I got two pubs called The White Swan. This one and one in Ladywood. Although I prefer this one to the one on Grosvenor Street West (near Broad Street and Sherborne Wharf).

Think the pub is a Marston's pub now.
Marston's was established in 1834.
I asked, 'why are you making this tattoo'?
She replied, 'I have made other tattoos just for fun when I was young, I guess this one is also for fun'!
Getting naked for their launch of the book Naked Conversations (Robert Scoble & Shel Israel) how blogging is changing the way companies interact with their customers. It's a cool read and they are cool guys! Check it out! Don't worry they didn't strip down anymore...in case you were about to hit the may offend button ;)
While zeroing in in a shot, I got bumped at the moment the shutter went off - this is the shot! One of the hazards of true street shooting, especially in crowded areas. Proper photo to follow

This Ford car's chrome and glass looks like it's ready for you to get in and go for a spin. The paint job and metal body - not so much.

I think i've finally lost my mind! School's insane. The interpretation of this may be a bit farfetched due to that. I was hoping to use an apple, but now that i'm a college student i realize things that you want aren't always accessible, which explains the pepper. Over top the pepper sits one of my books. I started by shooting this as a tunnel but then it came to me the light cascading through the window added to the shot. Basic meaning of the picture is although school's rough right now the small reward is good grades and the final reward is graduating although thats a couple years away. Hopefully this makes sense to someone hahahahah.

My lab/wet darkroom is not ready yet, but close to a workable state.
The sink is large enough to clean trays or to wash prints up to 30x40cm.
The water faucet can swing over to the old Jobo to fill it up. There's just enough room to set up the CPE2plus - that's why I have installed the sink rotated.
Some racks will be mounted over the sink.
When I was perhaps four or five years younger than the kids shown here, my favorite television program was "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." For my viewers who either were not yet born in the mid-1960s or were too young to remember it, the popular but campy program ran for about four seasons and centered around a supersecret spy organization, whose nemesis was a diabolical international conspiracy known as THRUSH. The main characters were Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, played respectively by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. This was at the height of the Cold War, and the superpowers were duly represented in the organization by Messrs. Solo and Kuryakin, the former being American and the latter Russian. Even at age 13, however, I always wondered how a Russian superspy managed to acquire a distinctly Scottish accent, but that question was never answered during the show's run, and besides, I never really cared what kind of accent Mr. Kuryakin had. If McCallum's character had been, say, a blond Mexican habitually speaking with a pronounced Japanese accent, that would have been even more implausible, but even with that, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." would still have been the #1 staple in my Friday-evening TV lineup.
Solo was my favorite character, partly because I envied his charm, efficiency, and savoir faire, and partly because he always attracted the pretty girls and got to kiss one about once every two minutes or so. Naturally, I envied him for that, too. I wanted desperately to be like Mr. Solo, but never quite managed to duplicate his accomplishments, which seemed to come so naturally to him but definitely were not my own forte. To be quite honest about it, I have always been rather awkward socially, and in fact never kissed a girl until I was in college.
I thought of Mr. Solo as I was postprocessing this photograph, taken near the conclusion of Basha High School's performance of "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940." Having attended the dress rehearsal three nights earlier, I knew this scene was coming and was ready for it, which was fortunate because it was actually very brief and not nearly as passionate as it appears to be. The play's hero, Eddie McCuen, is a wannabe comic who manages to save the day and get the girl, Nikki Crandall, who has been working covertly as a naval intelligence agent. The kids did a great job with the production, although with regard to this particular scene, I can't honestly say that I believe it would have done Mr. Solo proud. That was certainly no fault of the actors, but this was, after all, a high-school production, and the sensibilities of the school administration and other powers-that-be had to be taken into account in arranging the scene. But man, I wish I could have done this in one (or both) of the two stage productions in which I have participated! (It occurs to me as I compose these lines that Mr. Solo may have launched his own career as a super-smoocher during a high-school theatrical performance such as this one. That idea has even more plausibility because Solo was a fictional character, which presumably means we are at liberty to create our own details about his early life. But regardless of whether Napoleon Solo did any kissing as part of his high school thespian career, Nick, for his part, should feel greatly encouraged. He is an exceptionally talented actor, and down the road, I think we will be hearing more about him.)
I don't regard this as one of my better photos from this event, but if I were a betting man, I'd postulate that it will be well received by the participants in the play, as well as their classmates who witnessed the scene and expressed their approval with whoops, cheers, and catcalls.

Looking down the runway at YVR I managed to get a few shots like this one. Got to buy a bigger lens for next time and make sure that I am perfectly in alignment with the runway lights so I get perfect perspective instead of this slightly skewed angle. Still happy with it but will lean from this first attempt at a plane taking off.
So about 8 or 9 months ago when I started to get into seascapes I had ALWAYS wanted to head to Hastings Point but it was never the right time or I always tried other locations instead. Now I totally regret wasting my time at places like Burleigh, Currumbin, Snapper rocks because this place is really only a 50 minute drive away from where I live and it is INSANE when the conditions are right. I had a lot of fun here and i'll be going back 400 more times to get an even better sunrise and try some new compositions and shutter speeds etc.

and as always here is a beautiful tune you should have a listen to. Relax, sit back and maybe check out some more of my shots while listening to this.
