Experimenting with textures. This is a 2-layer overlay. I have to say it's not really my style so much with the music notes. (c) 2013

Not one of my greatest, but topical in view of the interest generated by another trouser-themed photograph I posted a few days ago. The impressively capacious thunderbags entering left were captured at Stockport on Monday 6th February 1978. We must allow Youth its errors ...and what would Youth be without them? ...but, ignoring the cut of his strides, the young man has taken considerable care to dress presentably and does not conceive his costume as an affront to others or as the emblem of his indifference to their opinion. It is not an egotistical, anti-social statement of the kind so familiar today. Today, as I sometimes reflect when waiting at the checkout queue behind a fifty year-old man with a tattooed neck and a stringy, pepper-and-salt pony tail, everyone ...including many who are old enough to have more sense... flatters himself that he is an outsider or bohemian: but what can a universal bohemianism be but another form of orthodoxy?
The bus, a Leyland Titan PD3/14 with East Lancs body, had been new to Stockport Corporation in 1969 ...just pre-SELNEC I think... but had now been swallowed into the fleet of the Greater Manchester PTE and had, alas, succumbed to that operator's lamentable colour scheme. "Livery" seems too elevated a term to be applied to this dirt-emphasising orangeade and off-white get-up. I would imagine that the Low Cost Apex Fares to Australia, U. S. A. and Canada, advertised in the travel agent's window, would be quite expensive relative to contemporary incomes. Travel agents would soon find themselves exposed to cut-throat competition from "bucket shops" and ahead-of-their-time budget airlines such as Laker and Dan Air. I believe I saw a travel agency in Bury St Edmunds the other day, but with the growth of online booking it is surprising that they survive at all.
Hey there friends and fellow photographers and writers,
I just wanted to be in touch to let you know I have a new photo book, published just last week in Tokyo by Neutral Colors.
It's called Middle Life Notes, and it comprises 26 images with 12 waka poems and an essay, about how I came to be me, here, now, at this point in my life. It's a bit more personal than Sunlanders, as the poems and images alike reveal somewhat autobiographical elements of my life. The images are all of Japan, shot with a Diana f+ and were made into darkroom color prints before being scanned. The waka (which are similar to haiku, but have a 5/7/5/7/7 scheme) were printed with a Risograph. Both the waka and the essay include Japanese translations.
It was published by Neutral Colors, by an editor who has an enormous number of contacts in Tokyo, but among all the talented photographers he could have chosen to launch his new line, it was my honor to be his first selection. I really am happy with the way the book turned out and I hope to share it with you.
The published edition is 333 copies, and I will be personally sell 111 of them. So before announcing on Instagram and Twitter I wanted to reach out to you first. It costs just ¥3200 with a small postage handling fee (¥250 in Japan to ¥500 further abroad), which is $30, with a $2-$5 post fee. I'll make almost no profit on sales-- making books is a labor of love, and I am in love!
If you are keen, I'd be happy to mail out a signed copy once I hear back from you. Please send me a DM and let me know your physical address. For those of you who bought Sunlanders, and will buy this new book, I am so grateful for your support.

I suppose this could be the cover of a Blue Note issue, one of those classic jazz albums produced by the creative people at Blue Note Records back in the hard bop days. At least that's what it reminded me of when I was getting into this. Perhaps something by their main tenor man Hank Mobley or their brilliant trumpeter Lee Morgan ... ?
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Oct 31, 2015."
I made the choice because of factors that had little to do with the photo itself - the subject here is indeed a beautiful young woman, and I think she looks great in the photo, but that wasn't the point...
First: it's relatively rare, for me, that I can take a photo of someone who isn't moving, or smiling stupidly, or somehow changing their expression because they know the camera is aimed at them. The woman here was sound asleep, sitting across from me in the Acela train, so she had no idea I was aiming my innocent-looking camera phone at her. (Indeed, I doubt that she would have noticed even if she was awake, but that's another story...)
There is an often-repeated adage in the photography biz (from Robert Capa, I think) that "if your pictures aren't good enough, then you're not close enough." And in most of the photography classes that I take, the instructor tells everyone (especially me, it seems) to put away our telephoto lens, use a normal-length (50mm) or wide-angle lens (28mm or 35mm) lens, and get closer to the subject we're photographing. Okay, so maybe I should pay more attention to that advice ... though I am not yet convinced that the results would be worth the effort, if the subject was actually awake.
As for the photo itself: it's obviously "soft," which is a polite way of saying that it's not really "tack sharp." Maybe that's because the iPhone shoots everything at an aperture of f/2.2 so you get a certain amount of blurring with the shallow DoF, whereas you probably wouldn't notice it with an aperture of f/8, or even f/5.6.
But it also means, as a practical matter, that you have to be much more careful about focusing the camera precisely on the subject that you're photographing ... which I often forget to do. I generally rely on the auto-focus feature of whatever camera I happen to be using, and it generally does a pretty good job. With the the iPhone, you can touch the screen lightly to get the camera to focus on whatever part of the image you're concerned with ... but if you then move the camera/phone, the focusing will change. I've read up on this a little more carefully now, and realize that I have to "press hard" on the relevant portion of the displayed image, in order to tell the camera that I want to "lock" the focus (and the exposure) on a specific part of the displayed image.
What I've been doing, in most cases, is simply holding down the shutter-button for several seconds, in order to get a continuous "burst" of shots, from which the iPhone camera-mechanism will automatically choose the one (or ones) that it thinks are sharpest. That doesn't necessarily mean that it chooses the best image, but at least it should get rid of most of the blurry ones. I thought that was particularly relevant in this case, because we were on a moving train that was rocking, jiggling, and bumping in unpredictable ways ... so I couldn't be sure of getting a "steady" shot, no matter how hard I tried.
Of course, what I could have done -- and probably should have done, since the subject here was sound asleep for about half an hour -- was to put my iPhone away, and retrieve one of my other cameras, which would have allowed me to change the aperture to something like f/8.
Maybe next time ...

As I reported in a separate Flickr album a couple months ago, most of my business trips have involved air travel from New York City; I’ve seen the insides of more airports and more airplanes than I care to remember.
But most of my trips along the eastern corridor of the U.S. have involved trains, and I find them to be a very relaxing and enjoyable contrast. These trips almost always start with a subway ride to Penn Station, rather than a taxi ride to JFK or LGA or EWR; and they are followed by a relatively pleasant journey along the East Coast on an Amtrak Acela train that has a much greater chance of departing and arriving on time than most of my airplane journeys.
I took a recent trip to Philadelphia in August 2015 and then another one (for a different client) in October 2015. In both cases, my journey began with a subway ride from 96th Street to Penn Station; and then a train trip from the Amtrak terminal in NYC’s Penn Station to the architecturally interesting Amtrak station in Philadelphia, before reaching my client’s office for a day-long meeting. At the end of the day, the journey reversed itself, and I was back home shortly after dinner.
I took a few photos and videos along the way; the ones I’ve uploaded here are representative of the trip...

The gardener picks armfuls of flowers from the Charleston cutting garden to display in large vases on the festival marquee speakers' platform. This large pot is glazed lapis blue.
I was there to listen to Angelica Garnett, author and artist, daughter of Vanessa Bell and painter Duncan Grant, and niece of Virginia Woolf. Angelica grew up at Charleston, the country home in Sussex of the Bloomsbury Group.
Oh, and punctuation mistakes - I was taking notes at a fast pace while listening and drawing - that's my excuse.
The cardinal is the one bright note in our late-winter landscape here in New York. He is a very welcome sight at the busy bird feeder. Here, he is patientoy waitng his turn, perched in a large bush.

My favorite old cameras have notes on them left by the photographers who used them as tools, not talismans and fetishes.
