This piece shows my progression throughout my work. The first figure on the left is very obscure, very wide, but the legs are proportioned in length. The middle piece is still a bit wide but it’s more proportioned and the dark areas shaded in well. The third piece I feel is well proportioned and shading is good. I feel that these pieces show good progression and that I am heading in the right direction to achieving my goal.
St Mary, Stebbing, Essex
A fair proportion of my favourite Essex churches are in the area north of the A120 between Dunmow and Haverhill. Some of them are well known - Thaxted of course, and there are the likes of Great and Little Sampford, Finchingfield, Little Bardfield and Wethersfield. I suppose that Lindsell and Stebbing are not so well known, but if I could take twenty Essex churches to a desert Island, then these two would be among them.
Lindsell is a scattered parish without a real village centre. St Mary's church is hidden from the road, set back behind the stable block of the Hall. You would not know it was there if you did not think to look for it. A small church, and most curiously appointed, with a slim tower in the south-west corner. and the square Norman nave augmented by a tiny south aisle and a wide yet shallow chancel to the east. The Norman chancel arch and its counterpoint to the south are delights, and the chancel also contains an access window to a former anchorite cell on the north side. The east window contains medieval and continental glass. But this is the bare sum of it, and St Mary is greater than the sum of its parts, an enticing, enfolding atmosphere that has me cycling this way again and again.
Not far off on the other side of the Dunmow to Haverhill road is the much larger village of Stebbing, a delightful mile or so of high street that leads you to a sharp bend just before leaving the village, and here is St Mary. Stebbing is one of my favourite villages in Essex, and such a setting for such a church!
A huge, endearing, ramshackle giant of a church, like an eccentric maiden aunt. It always seems to be open, and is always cluttered up with what ever various village and youth groups were in the middle of doing, and I love it for that. It always feels lived in and loved. A new acquisition since my last visit is a pair of large leather sofas, either side of the wide chancel.
2015 picture of the iconic main facade of Grafton Architects new extension to Bocconi University. The huge volumetric blocks made of stone cladding give the school an urban impact.
In March 2000, I spent a few days on Gran Canaria. Whilst most of the traffic was leisure related, this Regional Airlines Beech 1900D did not fall into that category.
I'm unsure where in Morocco this route originated, but I've seen Casablanca via Agadir mentioned in slightly later times. Royal Air Maroc certainly flew a direct service from Casablanca to here with ATRs.
Unlike earlier versions of the Beech 1900, the 'D' model featured a rather ungainly taller fuselage that meant that most people could walk through the cabin upright!
This airline had ceased operations by 2010.

A high proportion of the Plateau de Valensole is covered by lavender fields of equivalent size to this one.
The lavender grown in this region is not “true” lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) which grows at higher altitudes and produces a better quality oil. This is “lavandin,” a sterile hybrid between true lavender and spike lavender (Lavandula spica). Although it’s sterile, it produces a spectacular flower, making this area a Mecca for postcard photographers. Its oil is of lower quality that that of true lavender, and smells different, too, with a hint of camphor and wood. This is the “lavender” scent that is used in washing powder, soaps, and massage oils.
Emo Court, located in the village of Emo in County Laois, Ireland, is a large neo-classical mansion, formal and symetrical in its design and with beautifully proportioned rooms inside. It was designed by the architect James Gandon in 1790 for John Dawson, the first Earl of Portarlington. It is the only house to have been designed by Gandon. Other buildings by him include the Custom House and Kings Inns, both in Dublin.
The approach to Emo Court today begins through a rather unobtrusive gateway. Within the grounds, a road runs for some distance through a beech wood which opens suddenly to give a view to the right of the house and the Wellingtonias which now line an abandoned avenue. Visitors are directed to a car park at the side, so that the house and its trees are preserved free from cars and from a goodly share of the 21st century. To the left are coach houses and servants’ quarters, to the right beautiful mature trees and in the centre the entrance front, dominated by a pediment supported by four graceful Ionic pillars. The Earl’s coat of arms fills the pediment and, to left and right, are 18th century friezes depicting agriculture and the arts. Heraldic tigers guard the steps.
The gardens at Emo are magnificent and they too have been brought back to the splendour of their past, with formal areas, woodland walks, abundant statuary and a lake. They are divided into two main areas. The Clucker, which contains some fine and rare specimen trees and a vast range of azaleas and rhododendrons and other shrubs. This part of the garden is at its magnificent best in late Spring. The Grapery is an arboretum though which wind a series of pathway, each opening to vistas across the surrounding Slieve Bloom mountains or towards the house. This is a marvellous place to visit in Autumn especially when it is a blaze of dramatic colours.

The island was extensively mined for its granite rock, used for curling stones.
1. This is an image of proportion because of how the artist is using his hands to get perspective on the larger painting.
2. Something that made this shot successful was the angle I used. I got right behind the person drawing so I could capture his sketch along with the painting, but almost leaving his face shadowed and more mysterious.
She is elegantly proportioned and meticulously maintained on what appears to be a "gentleman's farm." The grounds are groomed to a fare-thee-well and she presides over them with grace and majesty. When I stopped the car to snap this picture, an early autumn storm was breaking up and the clouds racing by overhead revealed glimpses of a deep blue, rain-washed sky, while it remained relatively dark down on the ground. I liked the contrast.
This barn is in Surry, New Hampshire.
A detail from an awesome tile from 16th century Turkey from the Fogg Museum at Harvard. The shape, color, and arrangement all add to the wondrous pattern of this magnificent ceramic work.

The Fibonacci Numbers are closely related to the golden ratio, and thus they also play a prominent role in exalted natural and artistic compositions!
I'm working on a far deeper book titled The Golden Ratio Number for Photographers. :)
The famous mathematician Jacob Bernoulli wrote:
The (golden spiral) may be used as a symbol, either of fortitude and constancy in adversity, or of the human body, which after all its changes, even after death, will be restored to its exact and perfect self.
Engraved upon Jacob’s tombstone is a spiral alongside the words, "Eadem Mutata Resurgo," meaning "Though changed, I shall rise again." And so it is that within the Golden Ratio Principle, the golden harmonies rise yet again.
The golden ratio is oft known as the divine cut, the golden cut, the divine proportion, the golden number, and PHI for the name of the architect of the Parthenon Phidias. It has exalted classical art on down through the millennia and it can exalt your art too!
Ask me anything about the golden ratio! :) I will do my best to answer!!

Dr. Elliot McGucken's Golden Ratio Principle: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio. the golden number, rectangle, and spiral!

This feels like a tight fit, but it might have little to do with the sink itself. My hypothesis that it has more to do with the narrow, off center window above the sink. Were it expanded, I think anyone doing the dishes or washing vegetables would feel more grounded and happier.
This nicely-proportioned, blown 2-seater is typical of the Abingdon marque's formative years. Driven by Edward Mullins, perhaps a relation to Paul who pilots the white and silver ERA?

Substantial proportion of all the hits on my photostream comes from people searching "tits" on flickr. So, again, here's something for you greasy uncle Joe... Knowing the Finnish winter it'll be mostly tits for the next six months or so.
