"One Night" is a short screenplay set in a 1920s speakeasy in New Amsterdam, New York. It follows the interaction between Lily, a struggling burlesque dancer, and Detective Jackson. Lily's performance catches the detective's attention, leading him to strike up a conversation with her backstage. Despite their initial guardedness, they share a moment of connection, hinting at the possibility of a deeper relationship in the future. The screenplay explores themes of loneliness, connection, and the search for understanding in the midst of a bustling, yet isolated, nightlife scene.

INT. SPEAKEASY - NIGHT
LILY, a troubled burlesque dancer, performs on stage amidst the smoky, dimly lit atmosphere. DETECTIVE JACKSON, rugged and observant, watches from the bar.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
(to the BARTENDER)
Who's the dame up there?
BARTENDER
Lily. A real beauty, but troubled.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Mind if I have a word with her?
BARTENDER
Tread lightly.
Detective Jackson approaches Lily backstage as she removes her makeup.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Mind if I join you?
LILY
(surprised)
Sure.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
You're quite the performer.
LILY
Thanks. It's the only thing I'm good at.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
I don't believe that for a second.
LILY
(curious)
And what makes you say that?
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Call it a hunch. There's a story behind those eyes.
LILY
Maybe there is. But it's not one I share with just anyone.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Fair enough. If you ever feel like talking, you know where to find me.
LILY
Thanks, detective. Maybe I'll take you up on that offer someday.
They share a moment before Detective Jackson leaves.
DETECTIVE JACKSON
Until then, Lily. Take care of yourself.
Lily watches him go, feeling a newfound connection.

On a seaside cliff in the isolated Shetland archipelago, an Atlantic puffin, returning back to land for the breeding season, finds a nice comfy bed of sea pink flowers by its burrow to squat down in and wait for its mate. Sumburgh Head, Shetland, Scotland.

The depot at Clearmont, Milepost 660.5 from Lincoln, Nebraska, was important for train orders all the way to the installation of CTC between Gillette and Sheridan. Helpers plied this hilly and isolated part of the BN's Yellowstone Division, and those moves in addition to the increasing coal traffic made it a critical spot. By now the CTC must be in place as the train order signal is gone; I have pictures with it intact but this one compares better.
I took this shot over 6 years ago and uploaded it (or one similar) at the time but was reminded of it this week and decided to have a go at reprocessing it.
It was taken with what was probably my least favourite of the Olympus cameras I have owned but I really like the image even though there are some things I would do differently if I could take it again today.
This is Athnamulloch Bothy at the far end of Loch Affric.

This photo comes thanks to our Ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay to Gibson's Landing. A gorgeous sunset over a small and isolated island.

Haven't been out in the snow as much as I'd have liked this year but thoroughly enjoyed it when I could.
We've had bumper levels of snow but it's been very short lived. I was lucky enough to get out on this such day. The snow doing a great job of simplifying a scene down to just the bare essentials.

Thunderstorm activity over Adelaide River in the NT build-up to the Wet Season, ten years ago in 2013!
Viewed from Elizabeth River in Archer NT Australia.
Cruising into Bear Trap at the restricted 30 MPH U719 barley misses the sun as an isolated thunderstorm was building to the west. Road construction towards Culver Township ended the chase as they got pretty far ahead.
A little bit of colour pop.
The towns and cities of Malta are inundated with period dwellings that have colourful balconies and window shutters. In this view taken in Valletta I have isolated the reds along with the classic K6 phone box.
Fortunately, Gail and I spend all of our leisure time together, usually doing something like what we did today, photographing something. Today’s Coronavirus Day trip, one of my favorites, Cape May Fishing Fleet. Not as busy as usual
A relationship made in heaven....

An early morning view of the Almerian coastline last Autumn and a lone "camper van" looking isolated, but essentially "free". These days will come back eventually and we will all be free again to get out in the big wide world.
I loved the light on this morning on my way back from a dawn photography trip to nearby Perulico. Great memories and a feeling I"m sure all landscape photographers enjoy from our silly o clock trips!
The famous Lone tree on the edges of Llyn Padarn. Photographed by many and thankfully on the day that i captured this image, no one was about.
And the coming wind did roar more loud,
And the sails did sigh like sedge,
And the rain poured down from one black cloud;

So, yesterday it arrived as promised........Snow, and I was day off! Un(Freaking)believable!
This was actually the last shot of the day but the others are taking a little longer to perfect and I have some other bits to work on so they will have to wait!
This has to be my favourite "lone tree" so far! I hope you lot like it!
Even though there was no snow this was a cold day. About 15-degrees F. and north wind of 30 miles per hour. Note how the grass is tilted...
A clump of reeds. A misty morning. Even simple things can hold the sense of mystery.
On the shores of the Penrith Lakes
The small community of Gimingham, north Norfolk uk.
Traveling to Cromer two weeks ago, I stopped off to take a snap of this little isolated community on a bright early spring day.
Late 1940's International KB-6 slightly used. Plus a windmill in the background. Good for HTT and HWW.
There are villages where people live on the lake in houses on stilts and then there are houses that are are more isolated like this one.
As I post this picture, I am reflecting on how much has changed in Myanmar since my visit 10 years ago. I went there immediately after the monks protested in Yangan against the harsh military rulers of the country. I had concerns, but the guide I found assured me that I would have a peaceful journey.
I found Win Ko in quite a wonderful way. I knew I wanted to go to Myanmar, but I didn't want to go with a company that was just an arm of the government. I wanted to be part of the protest against the government. During this time, I was also planning trips directly with companies within a country, but it was difficult finding one in Myanmar.
Then one day I was sitting on the patio of a large hotel in Cairo watching the world go by. I saw a man at the next table who was also eating alone. Our eyes met and we said hello to one another. Conrad was from America and we spoke about how rare it was to find another American who was travelling alone.
Our conversation lasted for more than an hour as we had so much in common. He lived in Bangkok where I used to live. He and his partner were world wide travellers. They had been to Burma several times and used a guide who was not associated with the government. He gave me his name and email address.
When I returned home, I immediately contacted Win Ko and arranged a trip through him. He did the itinerary and I was able to book the hotels through an Asian hotel booking site. It took a great deal of trust to travel this way just ten years ago. It was before any of the big travel sites showed any hotel rooms for Myanmar.
The trip was a success and I found myself being one of few foreigners travelling in the country. It is beyond tragic, now, to think the country has changed so much that I would feel a need to boycott again. This time for the genocide of Muslims. I will tell you more about Win Ko's career in the past ten years in another post.
Hiking above Luz St Sauveur, in the French Pyrenees, early in the morning, the first light stroke this sheepfold. I liked the resulting isolated feeling.
As often, I had shot backlit, and needed postprocessing (with the darktable software) to restore contrast. My efforts focused on make the sheep pen stand out. For this, I increased contrast close to it, and decreased contrast far from it.
Specifically, I used equalizer filters with clarity preset on the house, and with bloom preset in the right of the picture. I used a bloom filter on the illuminated grass in the front right and a tone curve on the tree above the house to make it stand out. I used color correction to make the highlight more green. Finally, I used a small amount of soften filter in the bottom of the image, to give less importance to the trees.
