In the Spring of 2021, I finally made it back to Lebanon. I set out from Tbilisi and traveled to Lebanon with one mission in mind, to shoot for my upcoming book on Lebanese architecture.
Even before the coronavirus pandemic at the start of 2020, Lebanon seemed to be headed for a crash. What was to transpire is that Lebanon would endure multiple crises during the next 12 months, an economic collapse (imagine all your savings wiped out overnight), rising political instability, and the Covid-19 global pandemic, all of which endangered locals basic rights. And finally, a massive explosion in Beirut’s port area.
With this in mind, I decided to do things a little differently this time around. Firstly, I raised funds through my Ko-fi page to donate to individuals in need on the ground and added expenses – in total so far, I have raised just shy of $1400.
Then I decided to split this money up, with the first pot used for on the ground expenses, I used it to pay for a driver to take me to Tripoli over 2 days (giving a local a wage for a few days in times of hardship), we had to use it for PCR tests and some of the added expenses the pandemic brings with it.
Next up, I hosted a "meet & greet" down at Kalei Coffee Co. in Beirut to thank locals and I then decided to spend some more of these funds to take a local couple for a meal in downtown Beirut - sounds crazy right? Just a meal? Well - it was their first meal out together in 5 years!
And finally, I teamed up with Beirut Heritage Initiative. They provided me access to a few keys sites for the Beirut Blast section of the upcoming book, essentially in exchange for a donation.
Thank you to everybody that got involved and supported the project - and if you would like to support the project, you still have time to get involved through my Ko-Fi page here: ko-fi.com/jameskerwin - where donators or subscribers get exclusive book sneak previews and stories from our time in Lebanon.
Or if you would prefer to donate to the Heritage initiative directly, of course, you can do that as well here: beirutheritageinitiative.com/
Thanks all – James!

We feel very privileged to have been loaned this beautiful instrument for my son, to learn at primary school.

This week I've gone for a simple take on 'Made of Metal'. I had an idea in my head all week, but at the last moment it fell through, so this was as a result of a last minute scramble last night to get a submission ready.
I did consider making up three key's to success, but that just seemed a little pretentious to me. So I'll leave it as it is.
Happy Macro Monday!
Keys to open the doors of perception...?
Keys, better tools for the year 2025...?

Happy New Year to you who might see this :)

Sunrise in Key West, FL
High key rainy street shot from outside London King's Cross station.
I really boosted the highlight levels in Camera Raw, to produce this high key offering. This had the duel effect of really bringing out the failing rain in front of the woman's black clothing and bleaching out the unwanted distractions of the background. It has produced a bit of noise but is within acceptable levels I think.

A large population of feral chickens inhabit Key West, Florida, reminders of the days when cock fighting was a sport on the island, and Ernest Hemingway spent hours in the local bars. Generations of released/escaped "Cubalaya" roosters have "cock-a-doodle-do-ed" their freedom and roamed free.
This handsome fellow is protected by law, but is not admired by all of the current residents of Key West. The chickens do provide local "color" and a link to the romantic past of Key West, but they are also noisy and messy. For now the Rhode Island Red hens/roosters still "rule the roost."
This group of trees with their colour really stood out on the Beaver River... trying for a more high key look.

Some more experimenting with ND filters and trying to process them to the way I would like, that's the hard part.
Macro Mondays: "Numbers"
Stamped onto the key is the number sixty seven. It has no meaning to me. It's just a spare key to my house that I keep on a string, so that when I go for a walk I do not need to carry my car keys with me.
This image is about 7.6 cm (3 inches) on the long edge.
