The exhibition from last year's #CreatingBalance collaboration between 10 local photographers and 10 local artists has come home to Portsmouth.
I've been shooting a series of promotional images around town to raise awareness of the exhibition.
Launch night at Aspex Gallery last Friday was jammed solid. The exhibition now runs at Aspex until 2nd March - get down there if you can for a glimpse at local creative collaboration at work. More here

Dusty is almost 14 years old and my wife thinks he looks sad and I would have to agree. He is a great dog and he models for me when I get new photography equipment so thanks Dusty, thx!
Midnight has always stolen Ben's underwear, but this game has evolved. He now tries to pull Ben's underpants off from around his ankles while Ben is sitting on the toilet : )))
The dark areas on those underpants are Midnight's saliva. It takes a lot of pulls to accomplish this feat!

On my way west for the cab ride of a lifetime, I sought out some carriers that I have never photographed.
The KB&S is one such road. It was a Sunday evening and the railroad was quiet. Crews were home enjoying family time while the railroad's power rested for work on Monday.
The track layout near the office intrigued me. I can only imagine what this line was like to fan when Alcos ruled the rails. Like some of you, I am kicking my own ass for not visiting this unique railroad when 251 prime movers belched spent diesel.
A quick stop by the shops allowed me to get beaved by a pair of former GP40s, now normally aspirated. They certainly are not the RS-11s or C420s that once called these tracks home.
Live and learn!
...I think the message is clear, right!? ;)
This illustration is part of the Nonstopnerds exhibition.
A railfan scrambles to get into position to photograph a Nickel Plate Express excursion train leaving Noblesville, Indiana, on a 30-minutes holiday trip. The walkway is part of a trail that crosses the White River adjacent to the tracks.

I had this idea written down in my ideas book for some time so today seemed as good a day as any to get it done. It seemed appropriate too as i woke up at 6.30 to take pictures of the sunrise, but it was overcast so when i went back to bed for an hours more sleep i ended up waking at 11.30! Where does the time go!!! It always speeds past when you enjoy yourself or lags behind when your at work! (well it does in my case!)
And to top it all off there were major problems with flickr today, don't know if anyone else had them but i couldn't upload this shot or go to the home menu!
What a palava, all i can say now is thank god and i intend to get productive and enjoy the day! Apologies for the saga, im shutting up now!
Have a great weekend flickr!
More holiday "snaps"
Within walking distance from our tent was this gorgeous stretch of coastline. this was the sunset on the second night taken at Ravenspoint with the girlfriend pretty close to the edge of a 20ft drop taking a photo(eeek)
"If you want to play hide and seek with me let me remind you,
Of the photos you're gonna miss in the time it takes to find you"
The classic Temptations' song came to mind as I tried to snap one of a trio of these moths in Kaeng Krachan NP. They kept hiding under large leaves in the deep forest, but in the end there was no escape.

Getting lost in the Nature you could find yourself, suddenly.
You could also figure out "what" are you actually, what you like, which is your path, which is your aim.
Somewhere, lost in nowhere, you can find your "where".
And that's sublime.
Iceland, road trip, July-August 2015.

An everyday daydreamer
A foreign and unintentional loss of focus
A lack of determination, passion, desire
Blinded by the blizzard’s turbulent snow
I am lost.
Lost and tormented by my own being
Trapped and heartbroken within myself
I cannot save me, at least not now
I must wait a little longer
But I am anxious.
Anxious to get out
Eager to escape this box
This loathed path of suffocation
A world without creativity
I am in anguish.
Anguish inflicted by my own mistakes
Why had I listened to anyone but myself?
This is my life, not theirs
Oh, the pressure and restrictions
I have been stupid.
Stupid to be so naïve
To have believed everything they said as the only truth
Adhering to rigidity when born to run free
The misfortune of discovering oneself too late
I am afraid.
-Jessica Marie Matteazzi

Listen to my favourite song at the moment.
And now I can get the steps cleaned off easier :) Had to take a photo of my shoveling job and his snow blower handiwork.
Thanks honey!
I will thank you in advance for any comment or fave on my image as I may not always have the time to get back.

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
I am always surprised at how many people get up before dawn to see the sunrise. For me I think its understandable because I'm taking photos, but a whole bunch of other folks show up at this ungodly hour, park their cars, and walk out on to the pier, takes some of photos and then just turn around and leave. I'm not sure why I find that so interesting, maybe it's just the realization that there are others doing the exact same thing as me. That's hard to believe. I'm not really sure what to make of that, I suppose its a good thing.

With lockdown lasting seemingly for ever and to add to that my recent injury where I fractured my ribs i'm surprised I haven't turned into a cough potato. But despite everything I keep reasonably active even if it's just going for a decent walk each day about half-an-hour. But I need to lose a couple of Kilos as some of my nicest clothes don't fit any more. So my big challenge this summer is to get fit lose some weight and have plenty of yummy sex lol. I well when I feel safe to tug pull and stretch I can start on all that housework and gardening I've been afraid to do.
While at a friend's house this past weekend, I noticed that her sons were outside practicing their snow boarding skills ...on a trampoline! I was completely amazed by this and had to get a shot!
Thanks to my friend Rob Metzger for assisting me and holding my light!!

The crossing lights are on and its starting to get dark as 66011 passes Pencoed level crossing whist working 6B04 17:45 Llanwern Exchange Sidings to Margam Terminal Complex.
Its been awhile since I picked up my camera. Things haven't been great personally and its affected my desire to get out and wander around with my camera for a few hours. It did feel good to do it today though.
With all thy getting, get understanding. Stained glass in the Great Mausoleum in Glendale, California.
Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga)
As my friends know, every bird I see I tend to say, "Oooh - that's one of my favorites!" Except when it comes to Anhingas. I don't know why, but they kinda creep me out. But this male is starting to get that beautiful turquoise eye announcing his readiness to mate (and it was a pretty slow photography morning if all truth is told) so I snapped a couple of photos. I believe it's the first Anhinga picture in my photo stream.
On a side note, that is one scientific name I should be able to remember :)
