spinalonga - one of the last leper colonies in Europe
.. from 1903 to 1957. It is notable for being one of the last active leper colonies in Europe. The last inhabitant, a priest, left the island in 1962.
This lone figure looked totally lost on the vast Talacre beach in North Wales. Looks much better viewed large.
EDIT: this is the updated version of the original upload which was too dark making it difficult to see the figure on the beach.

An old gateway, now sprayed with graffiti, stands across the street from a cemetery. The path leading toward me, from the gate, wanders downhill and passes the old, spraypainted farmhouse in the previous photo.
I've always loved stage and concert photography. In fact, it was really what led to me taking up photography in the first place.
For many years when I was photographing the Edinburgh Fringe, I would shoot lots of rolls of film, which would only be developed at the end of the Fringe, after the performers had departed. Consequently, they never got to see the results.
All this started to change when I acquired my first digital compact. At that point, I could show them the results (and produce prints) while they were here. From that point on, the Fringe changed in nature for me, resulting in much much more interaction with perfomers, writers, directors and producers. So, now the Fringe means the return of old friends each year.
This is a talented actress called Natalie Haverstock, who I met in 2004 (photographing her in a show called 'Durang, Durang', where I knew two of the cast from the 2001 Fringe). Yesterday I bumped into Natalie (who is co-producing the show with the play's writer, Caroline Gold) and was invited along to photograph it today.
I think this is one of my favourite stage portraits ever. There is just such a sense of sadness and melancholy. I hadn't seen the show before photographing it, but that just adds to the fun. It makes it more of a challenge.
The show is called 'Howard & Mimi" and is a very funny (and warm) piece about a couple who fight like cat and dog, which I enjoyed a lot. It's on at Gilded Balloon at Teviot, at 1.15pm each day. You can find out more here: Howard & Mimi
Just some idea that I have had in my head, things came out a bit different than i had originally visioned but its all about trying.

I was up on my roof top enjoying some solace when I heard very loud exagerated sex sounds. Chick screaming etc. I went to the edge of the roof and looked down to where the racket was cumming from when I realized it was just this old fat lonely man watching a porno very very loudly. I thought, god that's me in 20 years!
Shatila (chatila) is a long-term refugee camp for Palestinian refugees, set up by UNRWA in 1949. The camp is located in southern Beirut. Originally hosting hundreds of refugees, it has grown to more than 12,000 registered Palestinian refugees.
The Palestinian children of Shatila are 3rd and 4th generation Palestinian refugees. The Palestinian children's problems of poverty are exacerbated by isolation by the host country. Amongst the civil rights issues, Palestinians living in Lebanon are prohibited from owning or inheriting property, and are barred from most professions.
