This young photographer’s mother, a professional portrait photographer, gave her daughter a camera to use while she’s working with her clients. What a great gift to give a young person: creative engagement with the world around her.

that not-at-all-good feeling when you discover an error that requires taking the needles out and unraveling half of your work so far. but such is learning…
I've had this lens that I cannot stand to use and it's been buried in my camera bag for over two years now. I have been making myself use it because I can use a lower ISO when I use it and I like that. However it's a prime lens and I can't zoom like I'm used to and I hate that part. I took this one tonight and I'm ok with it.
White Stork chicks stretching their wings in readiness for leaving the nest...much toppling about going on! This one in particular seemed ahead of his or her siblings.
Info again:
Here in Sussex at The Knepp Estate are the first known breeding pair of White Storks in the UK since 1416. There seem to be three chicks in the nest and it was wonderful to see them stretching their wings and waiting impatiently for the female to arrive back with their food. So, very exciting days for all of those involved in this reintroduction! The White Stork Project are leading the way and here is what they say about their project:
"These large birds, symbolic of rebirth, are native to the British Isles and evidence suggests that they were once widely distributed. Whilst it is unclear why this spectacular and sociable bird failed to survive in Britain, it is likely that a combination of habitat loss, over-hunting and targeted persecution all contributed to their decline. A contributory factor may be that it was persecuted in the English Civil War for being associated with rebellion. The white stork is a migratory bird species, and there have been many sightings in the UK over recent years, but conservationists identified that the species would need a helping hand to re-establish a breeding population in Britain.
The White Stork Project is led by a pioneering partnership of private landowners and nature conservation organisations, who are working together to restore a population of at least 50 breeding pairs in southern England by 2030 through a phased release programme over the next five years."
UK designer Thomas Heatherwick masterpiece at Nanyang Technology University in Singapore.
Resembling a cluster of elongated bee hives, the Learning Hub at Nanyang Technology University explores new ways of teaching at a time when computers and the internet are challenging the rationale of learning institutions.
The hub’s form is dictated by its function, and brings together 55 tutorial rooms into a structure without conventional corridors, which have traditionally created social separation and isolation. The learning hub has no one door, it is porous. Students can enter from 360 degrees around into a large central space which links all the separate towers together. Each tower is made up of a stack of classrooms which build up gradually, with gardens on selected floors.*

Taken with a tilt shift camera to control the vertical distortion, 3 images were stitched together. The 2 students at the bottom of the image forms a focal point in an otherwise empty space.
Come ariete immaginario
apro un varco nelle mura.
Abbandono la città;
me ne vado alla ventura.
Cerco isole deserte
dove covano i gabbiani,
là per ore starò inerte
senza l'ansia del domani......

Still Learning

For MacroMondays theme "Heritage"
Both my parents work with education, my mother is a teacher and my father is a professor at the university, so even though I didn't choose their profession, I've inherited their curiosity about new things.
Didn't know how to make an image about learning, so this pen (and the decoration, which is on the other end of the pen) gets to represent learning. I think making notes or writing essays is part of studying.
Happy MM!
A visit to the Library of Congress and all its wonders. You can take the kid out of the library but you cannot take the knowledge learned out of the kid.
