Looking back on Cromer, Norfolk
The tide was out. A perfect time to walk along the beach from Cromer to Overstrand.
... at the damage from Storm Arwen.
The storm that ripped through Aberdeenshire in November/December 2021 is still ever-present here; the slow work of tackling fallen and damaged trees is still ongoing. So many long familiar stands of trees have been decimated ... the sadness lingers on!
The shot here was taken a year ago, in February 2022, when the repair work on the Kirk was getting underway. A huge old tree was blown down and took a lot of the front wall and fencing with it. The massive root ball was not easy to move! Further back in the shot you can see the ruins of the old Kirk, they survived the storm.
And as I upload this morning, the first named storm of our winter, Storm Otto, is raging outside. It woke us at 6 a.m. so I am uploading this early in case we have the expected power cuts. With so many miles of overland pylons it is wise to prepare for cuts .. and after Arwen we have invested heavily in all manner of ways to make it easier to endure days with no power or mobile connectivity!
A link to our final rescue after almost a week of sub-zero in 2021 in the first comment field.
HFF!

Exposition of Max Pinckers in the old hospital chapel
(was part of Krasj, a 2 yearly art trail, which brings several modern artists together in several locations, spread over the city)
Max Pinckers is a Belgian documentary photographer, who became a nominee member of Magnum Photos in 2015. He grew up in Indonesia, India, Australia and Singapore.
How do you communicate, through photography, what it’s like to live in a city like Mumbai? A city of such variety, ethnically and economically, one of total poverty for so many and free of want for a few.
Traditionally, Western photographers have approached the city from a humanitarian perspective, using people – their expressions, gestures, moments of clarity – that might symbolize the social realities of the city.
Max Pinckers found a new way to visualize Mumbai. He photographed with a careful, cool composition, how human beings apply their creativity, how they problem solve, how, in the most basic ways, they use ingenuity to survive and overcome the hardships of their environment. Pinckers advocates a manifest subjective approach, which is made visible through the explicit use of theatrical lighting, stage directions or extras. Extensive research and diligent technical preparation are combined with improvisation to obtain lively, unexpected, critical, poetic and simultaneously documentary images.
Jamestown Revival - Old Man Looking Back
"Young man tell me, what do you know?
You ain't even seen your children grow
Young man, I've been down that way
And you may not listen to a word I say
You got fire and I got time
Even though it's no friend of mine..."
White-plumed Honeyeater (Lichenostomus penicillatus)
One from 2 years ago today at Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands.
The title comes from my very first tech director when I was operating television cameras. His mantra was 'give the subject looking room', his other maxim was 'if in doubt - zoom out'. Ian's advice has proved valuable over the years.
