Born in a Normandy noble family, French origin Théodose Achille Louis Vicomte du Moncel (1821-1884) was born in Paris. Apart from being a talented illustrator and engraver, he was known primarily as an expert in electrical science and mathematics. At a young age (1844), he made a trip in Greece, drawing ancient sites, monuments and cities with great ease. Starting from Venice in November 1843, his journey continues to Istanbul after Greece; On the way back, he stops in Malta, Messina and Naples.
Perfectly large stone engravings covering the whole route of his journey are published in an expensive album; In a different publication, 18 wooden engravings were collected from a land trip from Athens to Nafplion, and 14 stone engravings showing themes from Athens in a separate publication in guinea. The engravings, all drawn by Du Moncel himself, are accompanied by explanatory texts and descriptions of appearances; The human images, which decorate the subjects as pleasant decorative details, were performed by another artist in almost all of the engravings. He displays his paintings on his eastern journey regularly at Du Moncel Paris at annual Hall fairs (1846-1851) and sells to meet his material needs.
Since 1846, he worked as an electrical engineer in a government department, wrote research and articles on electrical science, a member of the Academy of Sciences, one of the founding members of the Société Nationale des Sciences Naturelles et Μathématiques de Cherbourg, and an officer with the Legion d 'Honneur engagement.
Du Moncel is a representative of the last trend of European artists who are eager to recognize the ruins of the ancient universe on site. It completes the visual themes and travel notes of the contemporary reality journeys in the places it travels with a more pleasant detail and with negative comments; The memory of recent historical events, if not reflected in the patterns, is at least marked by explanatory texts.
Du Moncel proves his own observations of the monuments, also by referring to ancient Greek literature works and texts of older trusted travelers (R. Chandler, J. Stuart, N. Revett, FCHL Pouqueville, Ch. Wordworth, Expédition Scientifique de Morée). However, as Du Moncel derives from the Restoration Period of France, its commitment to the European model, which is hostile to all the ideas of liberalism, contributes to the negative perception of contemporary Greek reality. The fact that the journey is full of disabilities, the strangeness and unusualness of the environment, and the way of living differently are interpreted negatively and ironically. Despite this, the patterns he draws clearly make monuments that are in perfect harmony with the natural environment.

Easington Colliery – Life after the pit
In October 2008, I studied as a Photographer, and as part of my degree, I wanted to show the power of the camera, so my concept was to visit a pit village to see what life changing effect, the closure of the pit, had on the local community.
I decided that the only way I could understand, and put feeling into my images was to live there for 3 days, the images taken are my retrospective of Easington Colliery, I had many experiences, and I met some of the most fascinating people ever, it changed my life, and i would like to thank the great people of Easington Colliery for changing my perception,ever since then my photography has meaning.
To hold a camera is like holding the world's most precious artefact, the feel, the weight, it is my inspiration to create, the camera has enhanced my understanding of everything, and I never want to miss another moment, my blinkers are now removed.
All my images belong to the people of Easington Colliery,
and I would love to return, 5 years later, to form part of a new exhibition.
Please contact me, as I would love to help, maybe an exhibition, of 5 years ago.
Thank you
Lee

According to first-hand reports from a fellow photographer, this may be one of the last images snapped at a now-being-demolished factory near Atlanta. I'd heard about this place and seen pics, but had never visited. Upon learning that it was soon going to be demolished, a quick trip was organized a couple of weeks ago. Glad I had a chance to see much of it first-hand prior to the 'dozers paying a visit.
This is one example of the statements made by "taggers" throughout the long-abandoned campus of buildings.
