The Fifth Goal was a zine unlike any other because it was made by a one-of-kind individual.
Veagan, hardcore muscian, and graffiti writer Riot from Utah put together a punk-rock style cut and paste zine that was a modgepodge of graffiti, veagan recipes, band reviews, interviews and anything else of interest at the time.
Sadly, in 2005 Riot passed away in a tragic spelunking accident leaving a void in the Utah and American freight graffiti scenes, his local hard-core music scene, the zine trading world, and in the hearts of those of us who considered him a friend.

Rome, Italy (May, 2013)
Getting this shot was the biggest goal I had before going to Moab. It's a classic of landscape photography. An icon of the Southwest and on wallpapers and posters across the globe, yet its location is unknown to many.
As a first-time visitor to Mesa Arch at sunrise, it's hard to think creatively. It's like a 3-Michelin-star restaurant for photography. Perfect, cozy and all laid out for you to consume. So even though I had thought about how to approach this image, I chose to make my first encounter go classic. No point ruining a perfect béarnaise by adding dill...
I scouted the site a couple of evenings before. The fact is the arch is really quite small, so I knew when returning at sunrise with the full Image Doctors posse it would be important to know where I wanted to put my tripod from the start - in the dark.
Reveille was at 4.30 am, and we arrived at the arch nearly two hours before sunrise. Despite that, we weren't the first. I can only wonder what the couple who were there before us made of a dozen middle-aged gents arriving in the dark with tripods and an overabundance of cameras. It was like the Nikon bus had pulled in at 5.30 am.
We set up, as you can see in the following "mini circus" shot, in a line across the arch. With gentlemanly certainty, I aimed for my reconnoitred spot and was well pleased. Then it was only to set up, aided by headlamps and wait for nature to do its thing. One helpful tip from the Doctors was to let your lens go au naturel. So no filters were used at all to avoid unnecessary flare.
Sunrise seemed to take forever to arrive, and then it was over in minutes. The air was filled with the sound of Nikons. HDR sequences were the order of the day, and I tried some, but for this shot, I went with 5 identical exposures, which I then fed into Photoacute. This supposedly doubles the resolution of your shots. I am not sure about that, but it is better.
This is one subject that, at least in some ways, is better in photos than reality. The camera loves the red of the sunrise. The glow in the arch and on the rock just in front of me was almost invisible to the naked eye, but came across clearly in photos. Also, the tight(ish) framing used in classic compositions like this one hides the fact that the entire arch is no more than 10 metres across.

Between the snow, ice and mist we've had over the past couple of weeks I've really digging minimalist images like this one.
I needed these. I've got my sewing machine set up on my diorama table. Hope to get some naked dolls clothed in the next month. Must set realistic goals here :)

This is a bridge in the "Speicherstadt" in Hamburg Hafencity. The blue "thing" is art named "Blue Goal". It´s part of the soccer world championship marketing campaign. We have dozens of it here in Hamburg. Mostly they stand on the roof of high buildungs.

Last Saturday [29/11] Porthmadog played against Llangefni: 2nd against 3rd. Porthmadog won 5/2. This player got really excited after scoring the 3rd goal. The other scorers were a lot more subdued.
Grand Rapids Griffins Triston Grant (23) scores past Syracuse Crunch goalie Cedrick Desjardins (30) in American Hockey League (AHL) Calder Cup Finals Playoff action at the Onondaga County War Memorial on Sunday, June 9, 2013. Grand Rapids went on to win 6-4 and took a 2-0 lead in the Best-of-7 series.
Although the players didn't seem quite as enthusiast as me when they scored.
Thanks for visiting.
