Little Egret,
Egret with an R on the front spells regret,
Regret is what you have when you hve done something wrong or didn't do something you know won't have the oppurtunity to do again,
Again means to repeat,
Repeats are what TV programmes are called when they are broadcast again - like friends, top gear or minder,
Minder is another word for bodygaurd,
Bodygaurd was a film starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston who sung the hit single from the same film called "I will always love you" which stayed at the top of the UK charts for 15 weeks, one week short of the record set the previous year by "Everything I do I do it for you" by Bryan Adams,
Adams was also the name of a comic scary family in a tv show called the adams family who were made up of various monsters such as vampires,
Vampire bats do actually exist but usually only suck blood from animals like cows or sheep,
Sheep of the fairest sex are called Ewe's
Ewe sounds like you and when a sheep poses for the camera it's hard to resisit the title - Ewe Poser!

Sixteen Year 9 girls from 13 Hampshire schools undertook a residential work experience programme from the 16-20 February 2009 on HMS Bristol. The girls and three staff from the Women in Science and Engineering campaign visited HMS Sultan on the 17 and 19 February 2009. The aim of the visit was for the girls to have an oppurtunity for practical experience in engineering and to meet female engineer role models. This visit also aimed to increase the girls interest in engineering and inspire them to take engineering up as a career.

"...I have spent the last 4 years living in this van as I traveled through 49 states for fun and to complete my medical degree at various clinical institutions around the US. I could have stuck it out in one hospital the whole time like my classmates, but I saw the oppurtunity to roam in my van and grasped it. The pictures you see here are from the last two years only, as this is when I bought my digital camera..."
A cherished project of mine to capture and document the life by the gigantic river Brahmaputra that enters India in the north-eastern frontier state of Arunachal, travels through Assam and has its confluence with the ocean in Bengal.
I have been having discussions with quite a few eminent who have been born an brought up on the banks of this river. I have just started the project as I my work has started taking me to Dibrugarh University where I have become a catalyst to empower the youth of Assam. It is a blessing.
First of the dancers who have been kind to participate are two students, Sattriya dancers, from centre of performing arts at DU - Bhagyashree Senapati and Purasmita Bordoloi; Also I had an oppurtunity to capture.a bunch of youth who do their physical training on the banks of Brahmaputra, The fishermen's village that lives on Brahmaputra
On Friday, my mom drove me to my high school to borrow a school uniform. Many people have told me about how unsupportive the school system is, but I thought they said this because of personal bad experience. When we arrived, I listened to two women drone about the school rules and how we are expected to arrive on time and not skip class, and how students are not allowed to wear any jewelry or makeup. One even pointed to my small diamond studs. It made me feel like they were trying to bind something inside of me. I don't think it's healthy to have such strict rules. I think the school mistakenly beleives that this will create respect for authority and discipline. However, I beleive some students will not be motivated, no matter what rules are in place. And mabye unmotivation can be a learning oppurtunity for students to understand what can result when one is unmotivated. I think the school is trying to set people up for success, but the definition of success is unclear. Is success having prestige as a Japanese company employee or using creativity to create an individualized lifestyle where you are following your passion? And do you bow (follow the rules) because you're afraid of authority, or do you bow because you want to show mutual respect?
After listening to the women, I found a school uniform that fit. I feel like I've been made to adopt a sexual stereotype, which really creeps me out. Mabye if girls wore pants to school a few social issues would be solved.

T17, the camera friendly tigress of Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in Northern India's Rajasthan, stares at us on Summer morning.
I sighted my first tiger one summer afternoon at Bandipur Tiger Reserve, I guess, in 1981 - 82. This was on an elephant back during a trip with my immediate family. I was 6 or 7 then and the tigress was with its cubs at a waterhole. Although I have occasionally seen tigers in the wild ever since, I never got this close to one with a camera. On 25 June this year, I made my decent use of this oppurtunity, 27 - 28 years later.
(NOTE: I have purposefully included the twigs and distraction in front to hide the radio-collar which adds an element of artificiality to this beautiful animal).

I'm going to make a scrapbook for her mom for Christmas, and I took the oppurtunity to take some pictures of her while the weather is still nice.
I am on vacation. I've limited internet connectivity. However, I would be shooting extensively. Dehradun is an excellent place and offers great photo oppurtunities.
Merry X'MAS to you all!
Went into the studio this past week while my good friends in Sundown (ex Semi Fiction) recorded their new tracks. Used this oppurtunity to get some photographs and the band if i could take a couple of portraits.
The tracks are sounding massive.
Check out Sundown:

Taken at the start of the womens tour 2014 in Oundle, Unfortunatley (or fortunatly dependant of your view point) I got stuck in a traffic jam due to the rolling road closures for 20min, so took the oppurtunity to grab the camera and get some shots as they passed by
On Sunday, i got the oppurtunity to photograph Underage Festival for RedBull Reporter. This is most certainly the biggest oppurtunity and event i have covered in my life. I photographed bands such as Hadouken, Don Broco, Ellie Goulding and Professor green.
Finally got to upload some live photos as the report is now up over at.

Photographing for Red Bull was a really good experience, meeting other 'togs and free red bull.

I was straying around our trainstation, when this old warehouse of the station jumped into my eyes.
I love those old buildings and of course I love urban photography (sadly, in my hometown there arent much oppurtunities to practice it). I'm still thinking how to get in this warehouse, would be a great place for a shooting with a model I think.

Shot with the fisheye. If I were to be there just a day later, the water in the fountain would've been red as per what I saw in the Star yesterday. Missed an oppurtunity.
Fine weather over the South China Sea gave me lots of oppurtunities to practice my cloud-shooting skills :)
Large is nice.
Ther are things That happen in life that were just not ready for, you'll never be ready for. Even if you think your ready face it. So many tines you thought you were going left but you went right, zigged instead of zagged , you wanted up but you went down these strange twists of fate happen to us all. Good reasons or not.things always have a tendency to do what they want to.
Why? Who knows? I guess if we knew we would always be okay. An that'd be great right?
Well no I don't think so
Is the unexpected that makes life interesting, the lows that really define you as a person , the tough times that make you who you are. Those times when your given the oppurtunity to show your "stuff" those are the moments that will test you and shape your future, when your thrust into making difficult decisions the temptation to do what's easiest is always there, and it's usually the first thing we wanna do. But is it the right thing? Usually not. The hard road, the long road is usually the right road. And if you choose that path it'll pay off big time. Real big. And once you get through it you'll see the new side of yourself. It will only make you stronger.
Something happened recently to someone very dear to me and itreally made me think about things about life Andy kessler passed away. I know death is a part of life and it's natural but talk about the unexpected, he got stung by a wasp, had an allergic reaction and that was it. He probably didn't even think twice about it. I mean one time he broke his hip skating in a bowl and I think he was more mad about them having to carry him out of the bowl than he was about breaking his hip. He was a tough old goat, very opinionated and believe me he would let you know how he thought about things. You could ways count on Andy telling you how it was. He was a good guy with a great heart. He was all heart but unfortunately for him and for all of us his life was cut short. At andys funeral when I was listening to friends and family speak about him it was good to hear that he'd left this earth with no
Baggage he made all his ammends in life he helped so many people in so many ways from building skateparks in NYC to helping people get sober. He had down times and he went through some rough things but when he left us he was on the upswing of his life. I think he left with a smile on his face. Knowing he did good for everyone around him. I hope I get to leave like that when I go I wanna think I made the right choices and did right by people, no baggage no stress no stones left unturned. I wish I could have spoken with him one last time though just one more conversation, one more joke one more something.
My point?
Maybe it's that nothing is certain out there. But what can you count on? Who can you count on? You can always rely on yourself.
There's this old hardcore band from NYC called the cro mags and on there first album age of quarrel, there's a line: " you come into this world with nothing but yourself/ you leave this world with nothing but yourself" you can walk through life taking the easy road, screwing the world over, stepping on everyone who gets in your way. But you can't bullshit yourself either. We all know who we really are, we all know the good and bad we do on a daily basis.
So when you reflect on life what can you say? How do you live? Do you help people for the sake of helping them or do you expect something in return? Life challenges us everyday, we all have to confront obstacles we all have great oppurtunitys to show what we have to give to the world. Think about it, when it hits the fan and were forced to make decisions, if everyone chose to do the right thing the world would be such a great place, a better place,
A rising tide raises all ships it's never to late to start making ammends, it's never to late it's never to late to start taking the difficult road, it's never to late. Never.

I got this photograph during our first sunrise photoshoot with my best friend Alner_s. The owner of this big bike is busy jogging and I take the oppurtunity to take a picture of his bike while he is watching me. Me and Alner were about to leave this place for a breakfast.
Hindley is a town in Wigan, around three miles east of Wigan Town Centre. Hindley alone is one of many areas within Greater Manchester I would love to live in given the oppurtunity.
This shot was taken on Saturday 27th June.
Filipino Academy for Movie Arts and Sciences (F.A.M.A.S) awards night. This is one of the prestigious events I attended. Star-studded. Elite. Rewarding. Last year, I became a member of this organization thru Manila Bulletin, and given an oppurtunity for reviewing Filipino movies. It's fun. It's an honor to be a part of FAMAS. I was with star Glaiza de Castro and friend Ayeen. FAMAS is the Philippine counterpart of OSCAR's and Academy Awards in the U.S. It is the oldest award-giving body and a rare gem in the Philippine society. Viva FAMAS!

On our first night in Iguazu we had the oppurtunity to take a "full moon tour" in the park. It is only offered 5 nights a month and only if the weather permits. So we jumped at the chance to be one of about 200 people allowed on this tour.
We road the train out to the Falls in the middle of the jungle. Animals where everywhere. 80% of the butterflies in the jungle are nocturnal. It was unreal. Then we walked about a mile out to Garganta del Diablo (the Devil's Throat). All the vital details of the Fall are in my next photo description. And I posted a video too because photos don't do this place justice.
It was an unreal experience. It makes Niagra look like a trickle. It was really really dark....my long exposure lightened this up quite a bit. The best part is on the horizon in the back of this shot there was a lightning storm firing off non-stop. You can see the front/clouds going by. Definitely a top 10 moment in my life.
After each kid who wanted to ride the elephants had an oppurtunity, everyone was looking forward to freshening up and having a sip of water before lunch. Some were alittle bit too anxious it appears :)
Adam Lerners image not mine
i went for a simpler edit fro this image in look anyway still had over 10 groups with 2 layers a group when i was finished :/ i wanted to replicate the popular filmic look used in most adverstising in the uk around summer time i used a crop based on the golden ratio focused on the left eye as i think the closer look helps create an image with a more personal connection and adds a slight more layer of depth when combined with a filter that blurs the background speaking of the background i used a graded nd filter to darken the right side of the image as i belived it was to light and distracted from the subject slightly thanks for the oppurtunity to edit this file its kind of making me consider buying a xpro 1 all i need to see know is a decent studio portrait that i could edit and id be pretty much sold. side note i hope this get viewed on a calibrated monitor the way it was intended

HMS SULTAN
School and court house. Dated 1661, but this is misleading; building probably late C16. Ham stone ashlar facade, squared rubble to sides with ashlar dressings; plain clay tile roof between stepped coped gables; brick chimney stacks. Two storeys with attic, 8 bays irregular fenestration. Hollow chamfer mullioned windows with 4-centre arched lights, carver spandrils under flat arches without labels, all 2-light above and lower bays 1 and 2, this last set lower; 3-light windows to lower bays 3, 6, 7 and 8; all lower windows diamond leaded: to lower bay 4 a false 3-centred arch doorway without label, with a large stone panel over bearing the arms of William Strode of Barrington (who acquired part of Martock manor in 1637), and the legend "SCHOLA TRILINGUIS DEUS TRIN/UNI DEO GLORIA MARTOCK/ NEGLECT NOT THY OPPURTUNITIES/FUNDATA ANNO DOMMINI 1661". In the south gable a 2-light window with label at ground floor level: in north gable similar' windows at first floor and attic levels, also a first floor doorway approached by stone stairs with solid balustrade, probably C19, replacing in earlier stair going in opposite direction. In rear elevation a near-triangular arched doorway with 2-light ,mullioned window over, then projecting stair turret with small stair lights, also a C19 red brick extension; another mullioned window uncovered during works in June 1985. Inside the ground floor layout altered: the north room has a chamfered cambered arched fireplace and a 9-panel ceiling with deep moulded beams; the south partition a plank and muntin partition from elsewhere replacing one removed in 1970s; the next room has deep chamfer beams with step and runout stops, and a C18 beaded surround fireplace in the front wall; traces of other plank and muntin partition and a wide fireplace in the south gable with chamfered timber cross beam, adapted in later C20. In rear turret a stone newel stair, with 4-centre arched doorway to landing: first floor has the former courtroom at north end (undergoing restoration June 1985) with graffiti in window reveals including some of pre 1661; in north gable, two 4-centred arched doorways, one to outside and one to attic stair: roof of arched collar roof trusses, without windbraces, with an unusual scarfed joint to ends of collars of C16 rafter than C17 type. The building referred to as the court house when the school was refounded in 1661-2, but an earlier school was set up in Martock in 1636 by Thomas Farnabie, celebrated educationalist, and on the evidence of the graffiti must have been here: by 1644 the "parish house" and "school house" were synonymous. The school closed for a while in 1820 but re-endowed in 1832 only to close in 1860: in the meantime it is said to have doubled as a poor house. It was purchased by the parish as the church House in 1872, was used for a while to house a branch of the County Library, and was sold as a private house in 1975. EH Listing

So there were a ton of official Decatur Beer Festival Volunteers around in red shirts to work the tables.
Basically, our job was to watch the taps on the back of the beer truck for "oppurtunity tappers." See, there are a million people at these things. So you have to get a beer from the table, otherwise these people sneaking a pull could insite complete chaos. Also, everyone was drunk by 2:00pm. (It started at 12:00!) And they are more than willing to "negotiate" with you to get a quick refill. But you can make to exceptions.
I kept apologizing for having to be the "Cop." But, as I told many a drunken oppurtunity tapper, the very balance of order versus chaos was at stake here, I was not prepared to take responsibility for throwing that delacate clockwork out of wack. That usually seemed to work.
Name: Deacon Sayasia
Age: 24
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 173 lbs
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Green
Race: Human
Job: Captain
Settings: Modern/Fantasy/Medieval
About him:
He was born to a what most saw as a fitting family that would be able to support a child but shortly after his birth his mother began to take on more work trying to make ends meet for the family and ended up spending very little to no time with her newborn son leaving him to rely on his father. His father was a useless man after the birth of the bouncing baby boy and continued his work as well but eventually began to drown his wallows in alchol.
He spent most of his childhood alone but this gave him ampile oppurtunities to go out and explore the town that they resided in which he soon found out to be a suburb of a great kingdom and would make his way to the knight training facilites on a daily basis to watch the men train. This gave him the idea to return home and practice what it was that had been trained for the day. He started this at the ripe age of 5.
After the years had passed his mother passed away from an incurable illness and his father continued to drown his sorrows away in alchol but Deacon had had enough of it and challenged his old man to a duel at the age of 15 and came out victorous rather quickly having his father at the tip of his sword he demanded that he went back into smithing and his father did just that even bringing home some of the tricks of the trade.
For the next 2 years his father had taught him everything he needed to know about smithing weaponry and armor but he did not let all this stop his regular routine of visiting the training facilities and learning from them everyday in fact one day he was caught and brought in. He was to be killed by the trainer but he seemed to match the trainer move for move and that was his ticket in. From then on he was a special pupil to the trainer.
Finally when the training was completely he was confident that he could take on the world and he started off small challenging his trainer to a duel. The fight seemed to ensue for what seemed like hours to them only lasted minutes in real life disarming his insructor and finally putting a sword to the instructors neck and demanded that he be placed into the Knighthood. A few strings were pulled and proving his worth to everyone that asked it of him he was placed into officer training immediately and quickly made a name for himself over the next couple of years.
He now commands his own section of troops but rarely seems to need them anymore as he would train everyday to become faster and stronger as he slide into the armies clutchies becoming the officer he is today.
Quirks:
He has the ability to repair any weapon or armor that is placed before him, he has his own troops to command but rarely takes that job seriously letting subordinates take control having faith ...-
Taken at the start of the womens tour 2014 in Oundle, Unfortunatley (or fortunatly dependant of your view point) I got stuck in a traffic jam due to the rolling road closures for 20min, so took the oppurtunity to grab the camera and get some shots as they passed by
It's pouring it down outside so I'm taking the oppurtunity to do some clothes washing. It's extortionate. £3 for a wash and dry not including detergent etc.
Takes about and hour and will probably shrink everything (seriously the last thing I need) and turn all my white t shirts pink.
I'll do some journal Rreading while I wait.
Nb. Taken on iPhone, processed using millcolour's bleached setting and uploaded and geotagged with Flickit.
A fantastic opportunity arose recently when I located a drinking hole for a small group of crossbills! They came down twice within the space of an hour (they are very thirsty birds due to their diet of extremely dry pinecones!) and offered wonderful photographic oppurtunities. I returned to the area this morning but unfortunately they failed to return, though they were still in the area.
This will probably be my last new image for a while, as my revision begins tomorrow in preparation for my AS exams in May and June!
A cool sunny mid-day last Monday 4/5, I was with my 8 year old daughter outside and mother's instinct took over me. I told her we will both take a walk and side by side we stroll with no particular place in mind. I said, "Mommie wants to take some pictures somewhere..." and my daughter reluctantly agreed... I was expecting the usual sceneries of white sakuras amidst the busy city where I live in...
Out of nowhere, these rare pink flowers greeted me... I said its "rare" because its not as abundant as the white sakura. These are another breed of sakura, I supposed.
A few days from now, these blossoms will say goodbye to me... glad I found these one before its totally gone.
I just dont know why Im so over enthusiastic about sakura, that made me want to go to the parks almost everyday. I secretly cursed @#&%!!! when it rained every now and then, limiting my hanami (flower viewing) mood, while wishing that nature wouldnt destroy another work of nature...
Sakura and its 3 weeks lifespan... will have to say goodbye to them in a few days. Another year of hanami is over. Thanks for the oppurtunity to be able to view them this year. *sigh*
