Take a Gothic bell tower (1452), gut it, fill it with a round glass sided elevator surrounded by a concrete and metal staircase (1994).....and It will offer access to a great viewing experience. Things inside the tower did go a little visually entropic, though in a graphically pleasing way ;-)
Shot in the Eusebius church. The church was extensively damaged during the Second World War following Operation Market Garden in 1944 and was renovated/built (1946-1962.
Its monumental and narrative gate is here.
This is number 25 of Churches.
Baa-rilliant news! These two woolly wonders kindly agreed to pose for a quick snap. At first, they were a bit sheepish, but they finally stopped bleating about it and gave me their best looks. One even whispered, “Ewe better not tag me in this—I’m on the lam!” I told her to stop pulling the wool over my eyes.
I found them at my favorite alpaca farm, looking a little out of place. When I asked what they were doing there, they sighed and said, “We just needed a change of shear-nery.” They also grumbled about feeling old, but I assured them, “You’re not pasture prime!”
Anyway, I’ll stop ram-ewe-bling. Hope this picture makes ewe smile, well at least before the narrative makes you groan! 🐏🐏
Narrative. Narrative! NARRATIVE!
I went for a walk in nature recently and came across a man shouting Narrative! Narrative! Narrative!
I enquired as to what was distressing him so.
His dog had run away from him and wouldn't come back.
I enquired why he was shouting "Narrative!". It turned out that was the name of his dog.
I pointed out that he had lost control of his own narrative...
He seemed less than pleased.

Rip Van Winkle Gardens of Jefferson Island THIS narrative was written by the New Iberia Chamber of Commence
5505 Rip Van Winkle Road
New Iberia, LA 70560

Atop a salt dome on Lake Peigneur sits Rip Van Winkle Gardens with 20 acres surrounding the Joseph Jefferson Home. The home was built in 1870 by the acclaimed American actor and listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Jefferson purchased "Orange Island" in 1869 and built his winter home here. He is credited for playing the "Rip Van Winkle" role from the Washington Irving tale for many years in the theater.
After his death in 1905, Jefferson's heirs sold Jefferson Island and the 2,000-acre plantation in 1917 to a partnership of John Lyle Bayless, Sr. of Anchorage, Kentucky; Paul Jones, bourbon distiller of Louisville, Kentucky; and E. A. McIlhenny of Avery Island, maker of TABASCO® Sauce. John Lyle Bayless, Jr. affectionately called Jack, developed Rip Van Winkle Gardens around the historic home in the late 1950's after selling the salt mine that tunnels under the island and lake. Bayless donated the home and 800 acres to a private operating foundation which he formed to assure its continued operation far beyond his lifetime to share with everyone, the place he so loved and enjoyed.
Bayless built a 1/2 acre garden under glass. This conservatory and welcome center featured over 3,000 species of exotic tropical plants. On the edge of the 1,300 acres Lake Peigneur, Bayless moved into his retreat to enjoy his retirement. On November 20, 1980, his dreams were washed away when a Texaco drilling rig pierced one of the giant caverns of the Diamond Crystal Salt Company, flooding the entire mine. The vortex into the salt cavern swallowed the lake, 65 acres of native wood land, Rip Van Winkle Welcome Center, the glass conservatory and Bayless' new home. A drilling rig, several barges loaded with trucks and rock salt, boats and equipment also vanished into the whirlpool. Nine of the lost barges were coughed up from the deep recesses of the lake after it was refilled by the Gulf of Mexico via the Delcambre Canal. What was once a 10-foot deep freshwater lake is now a one thousand three hundred foot deep salt water lake. Miraculously, no lives were lost that day in the mines. The damage to the island took four years to recover and rebuild.
Now exquisitely restored, visitors can view a documentary on the history of the gardens including the disaster, stroll the gardens and tour the Joseph Jefferson Home. The attraction also has facilities for weddings, private functions, conferences, corporate retreats, luncheons and bed and breakfast cottages. Café Jefferson is open for lunch.
The Abrahamic religions acknowledge Ezekiel as a prophet. According to the narrative, Ezekiel prophesied the destruction of Judah's capital city Jerusalem. In 587 BCE, the Neo-Babylonian Empire conquered Jerusalem, destroyed Solomon's Temple, and sent the Judahite upper classes into the Babylonian captivity.
However, Ezekiel also prophesied the eventual restoration of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. It is believed he died around 570 BCE; Ezekiel's Tomb is a Jewish religious site in Mesopotamia. Three decades later, in 539 BCE, the Persian empire conquered Babylon and the Edict of Cyrus repatriated the exiles.
The name "Ezekiel" means "God is strong" or "God strengthens" in Hebrew.

Авраамічні релігії визнають Єзекіїля пророком. Згідно з оповіданням, Єзекіїль пророкував знищення столиці Юдеї Єрусалиму. У 587 р. до н. е. Нововавилонська імперія завоювала Єрусалим, зруйнувала храм Соломона і відправила юдейські вищі класи у вавилонський полон.
Однак Єзекіїль також пророкував остаточне відновлення єврейського народу в землі Ізраїлю. Вважається, що він помер близько 570 року до нашої ери; Гробниця Єзекіїля — єврейське релігійне місце в Месопотамії. Через три десятиліття, у 539 році до н. е., Перська імперія завоювала Вавилон, а едикт Кіра повернув вигнанців на батьківщину.
Ім'я «Єзекіїль» на івриті означає «Бог сильний» або «Бог зміцнює».
Why? Why do we photograph what we photograph?
Why this shot? Not formally a street photo. Not necessarily compelling. No ethereal essence nor poetic stillness.
A seemingly innocuous everyday scene, but with a hyper-real sense of unease. An unwritten story, then asking the viewer to complete the narrative.
The premise and intent was to actively search out a banal unfolding narrative and stop it with my camera.
Not by accident, but rather an active conceptual process.
The previous post of Burnett Falls was taken with a longer lens, while this one is with an extremely wide angle lens. The change in perspective causes the image to appear wildly different. Now a large waterfalls looks more like water draining from my bath tub faucet. Much of what we intend to say, depends on the story we are trying to tell.
Yesterday, it was "about" the waterfalls, the torrent of water created, and how it dominates its domain. Today, the narrative is "of" a waterfalls, and how it is a segment or member of the forest. Same place, same time, and yet so very different because the narrative changed.
In the realm of high fashion, every movement tells a story, and with the Mala Animation Set, I embrace my narrative with grace, elegance, and a touch of fierceness. These animations are more than poses—they are moments captured in time, a celebration of subtlety and strength.
Refining the Art of Elegance: As I don this stunning black and red formal Asteria Grace gown, its satin finish draping effortlessly over my figure, the Mala Animation Set enhances every curve, every fold, and every nuance of its mermaid silhouette. The four static poses, complemented by mirrored versions, allow me to exude stillness with intention. Each subtle breath, every delicate sway, brings life to the ensemble, embodying the perfect harmony between demure sophistication and captivating allure.
Empowered in Every Movement: The set offers four breathing-only stands that elevate the essence of natural beauty. My movements, though understated, convey a sense of confidence that commands the room. Paired with four animated poses, I can transition seamlessly between standing tall in regal composure to a fluid elegance that captivates my audience—whether on the runway or in the spotlight of a formal event.
Versatility Meets Style: From the understated movements in casual showcases to the commanding poise needed for high-fashion editorials, the Mala Animation Set adapts effortlessly. For this Asteria "Grace" Gown, the poses highlight its dramatic red bow, the sleek gloves, and the Bauhaus hat tilted just so. These animations ensure that every detail—from the lace to the sheen of satin—becomes a focal point.
A Model’s Essential Companion: In fashion modeling, there are times when less is more. The Mala Animation Set offers subtle hand gestures, impeccable leg placement, and refined expressions that speak volumes without saying a word.
Whether you're reflecting elegance in formalwear or embracing the boldness of edgy designs, this set is your silent ally in making a lasting impression.
When the discussion of composition rises, I like to consider the narrative. This is also what the image is attempting to convey, also known as the story. For example, if one were to follow the guideline of thirds, this image would have very little to say. When I spoke to those responsible and asked about the netting, they told me of its purpose. To protect the crops against all manner of elements. The pesky crows and other intrusive birds. The tormenting weather and the menacing winds.
After my initial work that used the guidelines others prefer, I returned the next day with the narrative in mind. Although it was the netting that first drew my attention to this unusual sight, it was the weather that told the accompanying story. The clouds had a more menacing look to them, and contributed with a statement. Their portrayal of disaster now brought meaning to the netting, and where to put the horizon. The construction of a successful images is more often in the narrative, as opposed to the mechanics.
The assignment that I am working on is narrative. Please let me know what you think. I have looked at it for so long now that my brain is totally frazzled and I feel totally incapable of coherent thoughts.

I think I got the Ansco Color Clipper about ten years ago. I haven't "seriously" shot with it in a few years, but I brought it along with me this past weekend.
I'll probably shoot more with it this season. I'm not really sure of its purpose just yet, but I'll find one. Or I won't, and that's fine too.
This was taken in the early morning inside Yakima Canyon. I also shot a similar scene with the RB67, but it didn't work out so well.

I photographed this street vendor January 7th 2016. I was amused at the variety of pop culture now 'vintage'.. oddly Davie Bowie died 2 days later.. it is poignant and culturally interesting that he was 'vintage' while still alive.. I found this particularly fascinating given the random, component elements unwittingly arranged in the bins

Another from yesterday. I almost walked past it, but then I noticed this strange sort of narrative going on.

This dramatic upward view reveals the stunning oculus skylight nestled within a flowing, sculptural ceiling at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. From this vantage point in the grand rotunda, fifteen circular windows punctuate the sky, framed by undulating surfaces that evoke natural landscapes. The interplay of light, shadow, and rhythm captures the museum’s architectural homage to indigenous harmony and connection to nature. Designed by Hillier Architecture and completed in 2004, this space combines elemental simplicity with symbolic depth—creating a contemplative focal point that bridges earth and sky in a cultural narrative framed by form.
