There is a lot of pre-colonial royalty left in Africa. This is a miniature brass figurine of the Asantehene, King of the Ashanti (in what is now Ghana). These pre-colonial political structures have survived remarkably well and work in tandem, not in conflict, with the modern democratic processes. I bought this sculpture in 1971 in Accra and do not know anything about its age etc. But you can see the King sitting on his throne, under his parasol and accompanied by one of his councillors. In the 19th century, the Ashanti were involved for many decades in a ferocious war for independence, that is, against British colonialism. To finance this war of independence, they traded in gold and in slaves. The proceeds from this were needed in order to buy weapons (rifles and ammunition). The latter were delivered not by the Brits but, among others, buy a company from the Hanseatic Free City of Bremen. This company was also the main financier of the Bremen Mission to West Africa. This mission started itself by buying slave children on the African slave markets. There you have the complicated and very much international history of West Africa in the 19th century!
I was walking along the shore
(probably a bit too close to the water) when I noticed this gator sitting very still --not too far from me...
I backed off a bit and took some shots. I was there maybe 15 minutes, and this guy didn't move a muscle----but I have no doubt that he was very aware of me at all times....
He was fairly small--maybe 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8m)-----but big enough...... :)

I was hesitant to post this one as the subject matter was nothing special. It’s only a flower and better to say a completely ignored flower. That was quite interesting to see how it was ignored by everyone as from a distance it was looking a very much dull and dry. I am always a big fan of flowers. I stepped forward to it to have a close look at all around of this dull and dry flower. It opened my eyes. It was spreading lovely muted colours of winter. When I touched it, I got a jerk in my veins. The fine delicate fibres were just giving a hint of earth tones. Really it was hard for me to get rid of. Thought let me use my glass for a good purpose!
Ill tell a little story that is not true. In reality here are some of the dancers we had an opportunity to watch dancing in the streets

Ignoring the warning of a lowered gate and flashing lights at a grade crossing, a daring young bicyclist cuts across the path of a westbound Norfolk Southern freight train in Whiting, Indiana.

Happy Monday and a good start to the new week !

Mind Reading Photo Series
I always imagined myself having this power of hearing what people think. Knowing what they worry about, what their plans are for the day, who they think are conspiring against them. And all these emotions we feel and act on, I want to photograph all those emotions the moment we feel them. This photo series is the result of my imagination. I just wish I had a way to know if what I thought they were thinking is right....
Shot using a 50mm + Full frame dSLR.
:D IT WORKS TOO!
I failed on the logo placement though ;_;
so.. i was thinking of making a M1 Carbine.... Y/N?
This photo has taken near a river named Shirakawa, At kumamoto, Japan. Background is the Kumamoto Downtown.
And any thought of consequence;
Had to rotate it and crop it a few times cause the horizon line was skewed. Quality got fucked up:(
we all complain when things go wrong.
we demand laws, inspections, control.
but are we watching ourselves?
do we take responsibility?
or are we too busy looking down?
madrid, calle alcalá.
Ignore the slopes on the side, studio has a weird glitch with them atm. Any criticism and comments are welcome.
If you can just get in motion, a cold but beautiful day can't be beat. Photographed at Falls Bridge along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. Much has been made of whether the Fujifilm X-T1 can handle action. I don't even try and it nails it every time. Maybe that's the secret: Just close your eyes and shoot.
