A brand new project I've started working on this summer is my 'Audio Guide' series.
As I was walking around Stonehenge I noticed something that had been bothering me on my last few visits to big old attractions. It was quiet. Abnormally quiet. Especially when you consider the volume of people visiting there.
When I was little there were noisy groups following one guide, waving their arms around expressively in just about any given language. You could stand and listen for a while (feeling like a naughty hanger on) or you could browse the informational placques dotted in relevant places. Now, there are Audio Guides.
They are probably interesting, I must admit I've never taken one, but as a photographer I like to soak up the scene with sights, smells, sounds and all. Now I began to notice couples distanced from each other. Groups in uncanny silence. Spectators with blank, distant looks.
And I began hipshooting with the iPhone, trying to capture the same expression I was witnessing over and over again.
I guess this is a small study for what could become a much larger project for me and my 5d. Heck I could even use the Pentax 6x7 because no one would notice the sound of the shutter. They are too busy listening to the Audio Guide.

Background
This woman and her husband (i supposed) were always giving us very interesting informations about the event. They told us, for instance, who was this guy.
san francisco is the best place in the world to run. there were literally thousands of other runners and bikers on the trails with me
and the trails are great.
16+ miles
in my fivefingers
on serious hills
had a truly spiritual experience at like mile 12
ran out onto the cliffs just next to the foot of the golden gate bridge
amazingly huge red-tailed hawk was drafting in the wind
so perfect in form that i became convinced it was a custom kite
i ran up under her, and she flew down to me
i spread my wings, and she came even closer
i back arched and spread my wings max wide, and she glided closer still, directly above me
she ended up hovering about 8 feet above me, we mirroring eachother, for more than a full minute
in fact, it was a truly timeless moment of rapture and direct communion with nature
i was able to snap a few pictures in the midst of being stunned. :)

We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

The Georgia Guidestones is a large granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. A message comprising ten guides is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient languages' scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge."[1] The monument is almost 20 feet (6.1 m) tall if the buried support stones are included, exactly 18 feet (5.5 m) otherwise,[2] and made from six granite slabs weighing more than 240,000 pounds (110,000 kg) in all.[3] One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.

The earthquake damaged Art Centre, April 27, 2013, Christchurch New Zealand.
All 23 Arts Centre heritage buildings received significant damage in the earthquake and its subsequent aftershocks, and all have been issued with a red “Unsafe” placard.
As a result of the magnitude of this damage, the Arts Centre Trust Board— the body charged with ensuring this iconic precinct is preserved and protected in perpetuity— has taken the unprecedented step of closing the site for an indeterminate period to allow for remediation work and seismic strengthening to all buildings. This work is likely to take several years.
The Trust Board has initiated this closure only after particular consideration of the significant impact this will have on the many businesses and worthy organisations that have been associated with this site for a large number of years.
The Board has been reluctant to take these measures. However, the overriding considerations of: public safety (current and future); uncertainty over the full extent of repair that is required; uncertainty about the total amount of funds available (for both restoration and strengthening work); and the ultimate need to prioritise funds toward those buildings with the most important heritage values has meant that the Board had little choice than to elect total closure for all buildings deemed unfit for occupation. This determination recognises that some buildings— while suffering less damage than others— could still create a potential hazard either for occupants or restoration workers operating in the immediate proximity.
The site closure will also allow remediation work to proceed at the greatest pace possible, which will be of significant benefit to both the Arts Centre and the community at large.
Meantime, the Arts Centre site is considered unsafe to enter and remains cordoned off with access restricted to those persons working on stabilising the buildings under the direction of the consulting engineers.

CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, CHURCH STREET
Grade II* Listed
List Entry Number: 1334670
National Grid Reference: SK 43354 74869
Detail
827/1/1 CHURCH STREET 25-FEB-66 (North side) CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST
II* Parish church of C13-C15, C17 chapel and chancel clerestorey, restored and enlarged 1865-69 by Sir G.G. Scott.
MATERIALS: Coursed rubble to medieval parts, and coursed squared gritstone on a rock-faced plinth to C19 parts, York stone to upper stages of tower, slate roof.
PLAN: Aisled nave with south porch, lower chancel with south chancel aisle, west tower.
EXTERIOR: The 4-stage tower is the earliest section of the building, the lower 2 stages of which are C13. It has angle buttresses and clasping south-west buttress housing the stair turret. The west doorway has 2 orders of continuous roll moulding, above which is a restored lancet window and smaller lancet in the second stage. The short upper stages are C15 in pale grey York stone, with round clock face in the south wall and 2-light Perpendicular belfry openings. The crown was added in 1681, comprising an embattled parapet and small corner pinnacles. The south aisle is at least 2 phases externally. To the right of the porch are two 2-light square-headed windows, between which is a curious diagonal buttress, and further right is a 3-light square-headed window. To the left of the porch, and integral with it, is a westward extension or rebuilding of the aisle, with cusped west window. The porch has a moulded entrance arch and triple side lancets. The re-set aisle south doorway is c1200. It has nook shafts with tentative leaf capitals, and restored moulded round arch. The 7-bay north aisle is entirely C19, with gabled buttresses. It has 2-light Decorated windows, but the 2 easternmost bays are wider. It also has 3-light east and west windows. The chancel is of the same date and has similar detail: 3-light east window and 2-light north window. There is an embattled parapet on the north wall and, not visible externally, a C17 south clerestorey of 6 triple round-headed lights. The much-restored south chapel projects forward of the nave aisle and its external details are C17. It has an embattled parapet with pinnacles, 4-light square-headed windows with round-headed lights to the right and left, tripartite mullioned window right of centre, and round-headed doorway left of centre with ribbed and studded door incorporating `1696' in iron studs. The east window is 4-light with round-headed lights.
INTERIOR: The C13 tower arch has 3 orders of chamfer, the inner order on keeled shafts. The south aisle and chapel arcades are C14 and therefore earlier than external detail suggests. The 5-bay nave arcade and 2-bay chapel arcade both have octagonal piers with double-chamfered arches. The taller C19 north arcade has piers of quatrefoil section and moulded arches. The C19 chancel arch is on semi-circular responds. Roofs are C19: in the nave and north aisle are crown-post roofs with 4-way bracing, on corbelled brackets. The chancel has a closed polygonal roof with moulded ribs. Re-set in the north-aisle wall is a re-painted late-medieval Easter Sepulchre, which has a cusped ogee arch and pinnacles incorporating crude frontal figures. Walls are plastered. The floor is stone-paved with some grave slabs and black and red tiles in the chapel, and raised floorboards below pews.
PRINCIPAL FIXTURES: The c1200 font is much restored and probably altered. It has a round bowl with a single small head at the base of the bowl, on unusually thin detached shafts and round stem. Other furnishings are C19 and C20. Benches have shaped ends and moulded arm rests. The 1869 polygonal pulpit has quatrefoil panels, on a stone base with shafts and stiff-leaf frieze. The 1915 chancel screen, in late-medieval style with painted foliage cornice and brattishing, has 1960s rood by Ludwig Kuziarz. Choir stalls and priests' stalls are similar to but slightly more elaborate than nave benches. The painted stone reredos has high-relief representations of Christ in Glory, Crucifixion and Ascension. A painted wooden reredos in the south aisle was added in 1947, with the Virgin Mary and saints. There are several monuments to the Frecheville family. In the chancel a damaged brass effigy, on a tomb chest decorated with shields in quatrefoils, is to Peter Frecheville (d 1480). Next to it is a recess with small male and female brass effigies, to Piers (d 1503) and Maud Frecheville. An incised alabaster slab on the south side of the chancel is to John Frecheville (d 1510). In the south chapel is a wall monument to Christian Lady St John (d 1653 in childbirth) with reclining female figure nursing a baby. Also in the chapel is a sarcophagus with seated putti, to John Lord Frecheville (d 1682). Behind it is an armorial stained-glass window dated 1676, by Henry Gyles of York. C14 glass fragments are in the chapel east window. There are several other stained-glass windows of the late C19 and C20, including SS Peter, John, Francis and Paul by F.S. Eden (1937) and 2 north-aisle windows by H.J. Stammers of York (1956, 1965).
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Lych-gate with half-hipped graded-slate roof, by P.H. Currey, c1938.
HISTORY: The earliest surviving features of the church are the c1200 south doorway and possibly the font. The tower is C13. In the C14 the south aisle and a south chapel were added. The church was altered in the C15 by the heightening of the tower, and then by rebuilding the outer walls of the south aisle. In the latter half of the C17 the chapel walls were rebuilt (window dated 1676), chancel clerestorey was added, and the crown was added to the tower in 1681. The church was restored and enlarged in 1865-69 at a cost of over £6000. The architect was Sir George Gilbert Scott (1811-78), one of the most successful and prolific C19 church architects. Scott added in the north aisle in his favoured c1300 style, rebuilt the chancel in similar style, added the present porch and rebuilt the adjoining part of the south aisle.

REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The church of St John the Baptist, Staveley, Derby, is designated at Grade II* for the following principal reasons:
*It is a substantial medieval village church with substantial early fabric, including c1200 doorway, C13-C15 tower, and C14-C17 aisle and chapel.
*It has medieval interior features of special interest, including the font and the rare (but re-sited) Easter Sepulchre.
*It has several notable features connected with the Frecheville family, especially the C15-C17 monuments and C17 armorial window.
*The church stands next to the early C17 former Staveley Hall, seat of the Frecheville family.

An audio tour or audio guide provides a recorded spoken commentary, normally through a handheld device, to a visitor attraction. They are also available for self-guided tours of outdoor locations, or as a part of an organised tour. It provides background, context, and information on the things being viewed. Audio guides are often in multilingual versions and can be made available in different ways. Some of the more elaborate tours available include original music and interviews, offering an experience more comparable to an audio documentary than to a traditional guided tour. Traditionally rented on the spot, some audio guides are free or included in the entrance fee, others have to be purchased separately.
