The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. on behalf of the Governors of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford-on-Avon.
They state on the divided back that the image is after the water-colour drawing by Charles Cattermole, R. I. The card was printed in England.
The back of the card also states:
"He is my very good friend,
and an honourable gentleman."
(The Tragedy of Timon of Athens, Act III, Scene II)
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, and baptised on the 26th. April 1564.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.
He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship.
William's plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. He remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
Biography of William Shakespeare
Shakespeare was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith.
Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men.
At the age of 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare's Works
Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories, and are regarded as some of the best works produced in these genres.
William then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language.
In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights.
The First Folio
Many of Shakespeare's plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy in his lifetime. However, in 1623, John Heminges and Henry Condell, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeare's, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that included all but two of his plays.
Its Preface was a prescient poem by Ben Jonson, a former rival of Shakespeare, that hailed Shakespeare with the now famous epithet:
"Not of an age, but for all time".
The Death of William Shakespeare
William died at the age of 52 on the 23rd. April 1616 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He was laid to rest at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Stratford-upon-Avon.
The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by G. Lelong of 21, Rue St.-Martin, Amiens who could obviously have done with a better translator.
The image was drawn from the Photographic Negative Section of the French Army. Note the bed with its mattress still in position.
Visé Paris No. 357
The card bears the imprimatur 'Visé Paris' followed by a unique reference number. This means that the image was inspected and deemed by the military authorities in the French capital not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' indicates that the card was published during or soon after the Great War.
Maurepas
Maurepas (French for 'Bad Meal') is a village in the Somme department of Picardie in Northern France. It is situated some 30 miles (48 km) north-east of Amiens.
Angle Wood
Angle Wood, north-west of Maurepas, used to contain a battlefield burial site created from a shell-hole. 27 British soldiers were interred there. They were mainly serving with the London Regiment when they died.
Their remains were transferred after the Great War to Delville Wood Cemetery at Longueval which is 4 km from Maurepas.
Delville Wood Cemetery
5,523 British and Commonwealth casualties are buried in the cemetery at Delville Wood, with 3,593 being unidentified. Most of the burials in the cemetery were casualties who died in the months of July, August and September during the heavy fighting of the 1916 Battle of the Somme.
'Tree Of Hope' (2001)
'Tree of Hope' is a poem by Kate Moss. During the battle, Delville Wood was completely destroyed, with the exception of a single Hornbeam tree that stands there to this day.
Today the tree is surrounded by relatively young trees planted after the war ended, some seeded by acorns brought there by South Africans. Here is the poem:
'What would it say, this Hornbeam tree,
The solitary survivor of Delville Wood?
Tales of men fighting to be free?
Tales of destruction in the name of good?
From beneath its boughs what has it heard?
The agonised cries of men in pain,
Machine guns cackling their deadly word,
Shells exploding their terrorising rain.
From its many eyes what has it seen?
Men falling, plunging, to their deaths,
Lips forming lover’s names in their dying breaths,
In Delville Wood that was once so green.
Now stained with the blood of many a creed,
Mis-shapened stumps are all that remain.
Our Hornbeam watches the countryside bleed,
Reflecting the scale of humanity’s pain.
Our Hornbeam tree spreads its limbs wide,
Resisting the urge to bow down and hide.
Some good must come of this pain and mourning,
As it drinks in the life of a new day dawning.
And slowly, surely, as time goes by,
Acorns are planted, seeds are sown.
Delville Wood does death defy,
And decades thence is completely regrown.
Our Hornbeam tree has new friends and neighbours,
Bearing witness to humanity’s labours.
But its very presence ensures that no-one could
Forget what happened in Delville Wood'.
It is ironic when you try to escape your destiny and in your escape you encounter it. As old as civilization, mankind has always feared this fate: "Is there such a thing called Destiny?" and if the answer is "yes" do we possess the power to change it. In its simplicity this theme becomes epic. From Sophocles to the Wachowski Brothers the "hero" has always tried to be stronger than his destiny. I tried to mix all these epic ancient questions with a dark texture, typical of noir cinema in the first half of XX century.
But in the end, one critical question remains: Would it have really happened if we didn´t know it?

Glad to share the news that two of my photographs got published in May 2008 edition of Better Photography magazine. This was in 'Your Photos' section. Pretty encouraging as an artist to see in print format in a national magazine. Thanks to BP.
Small glitch observed is, my description about the photograph says that I am using Pentax K100D super. However, below that they have written as Canon 350D. Do ever Pentax get recognition in INDIA? :-))

what a great week this has turned out to be and its only wednesday!
i sent in a letter to a photography magazine "practical photography" with a few images attached of some of my macro work with a little tip i found over at the poor mans macro flickr group.
The tip helped me get over the massive amount of frustration you normally get when reversing a lense to take macro shots, they must have thought the same because they gave me the letter of the week and published an image of mine.
oh and i get a £200 camera bag as well!
time to buy a lottery ticket i think

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 19th of October 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.

Humpback Whale Breaching
Personal Note: Having moved several years ago to the Monterey Bay Area in Northern California, I decided to teach myself wildlife photography and concentrate on Marine Mammals of the Monterey Bay, which was self-published as a photo essay book. The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is one of the most abundant marine sanctuaries in the World with extensive academic research facilities studying its inhabitants and health.
One of the species I have concentrated my efforts on has been the highly intelligent and entertaining Humpback Whale. For two years I am been trying to capture them breaching out of the water. With two flips of their flukes they can propel 35 to 50 tons of mammal completely out of the water! Prior to July 6, 2015 I have only been able to photograph them breaching from a distance.
Over the next two weeks I will be posting a series of images from this incredible experience.
Here are some of the photographic issues:
•They never stop moving, even when they place half of their brain on "rest" while the other half navigates for them. When that half has enough rest, the other half takes over.
•Your Whale Boat is moving about 80% of the time. If the Bay is choppy that means it is rocking back and forth as it propels itself forward.
•Other Whale Boats are positioned around the best sites and can ruin your shot.
•We can tell when a breaching Humpback is going to dive. What we cannot tell is if they are going to keep breaching or just feed on the bottom?
•Normally they breach once or twice and stop. The Blue Ocean Whale Watch boat captain has seen Humpbacks breach as many as 70 times. They are based in Moss Landing and I highly recommend them. You can book a trip at: blueoceanwhalewatch.com/contact.
•Therefore, you do not know how long they are going to stay under the water (5-7 mins. is normal) or WHERE OR WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO COME UP, which is always in a different place.
•I keep my camera under my chin and watch over the top of the lens. Once they start to breach, you have 3-5 seconds to find them in your viewfinder and squeeze off a series of shots. If they are less than 1/3rd of my viewfinder I know they are too far away.
•On the way back to port, three different whales did a "Lunge Feed" in unison just like in the Olympic synchronized swimming events. It was extraordinary, but It took us all by surprise and I could not even raise my camera in time.
•We all know whales communicate with each other, but this was an extraordinary example. The three whales dove together, communicated with each other and then raced to the surface side by side with their mouths wide open! They then captured the sardines, anchovies and or krill, filtered out the water, swallowed and dove again. They can take in enormous amounts of water (up to 70% of their body weight) filter out the fish and krill and eject the water.
•It is hard to describe, but three huge whales surfacing with their mouths open, side-by-side, perfectly in unison takes your breath away. I literally snapped my sunglasses in half during the whole breaching experience, but it was a small price to pay. If anyone had gotten a sharp image of these three whales, it would have been a cover story.
•Humpback whales (belong to the class of marine mammals known as rorquals that feed through extraordinarily energetic lunges during which they engulf large volumes of water equal to as much as 70% of their body mass. (Source: Marine Mammal Science)

HUMPBACK WHALE: Megaptera novaeangliae (meaning of scientific name: (Large-Winged of New England)
BEHAVIOR: Acrobatic humpbacks regularly breach (jump out of the water), stroke each other, and slap the water with their flippers and flukes. Scientists believe these activities are forms of communication because they create a great deal of noise, which can be heard at long distances under water. Humpbacks swim in groups or pods of up to a dozen at calving grounds, and in smaller groups of three to four during migration. Unlike other baleen whales, they can often be seen feeding cooperatively.
DESCRIPTION: The humpback whale was given its common name because of the shape of its dorsal (back) fin and the way it looks when the animal is diving. Its scientific name, Megaptera, means, "large-winged" and refers to its long, white, wing-like flippers that are often as long as one-third of the animal's body length. Humpbacks are gray or black, except for the flippers, parts of the chest and belly, and sometimes the underside of the tail flukes. Each whale has its own unique pattern on the underside of its tail flukes, which can be used like "fingerprints" to identify individual whales. Unique to humpbacks are wartlike round protuberances (bumps or tubricales) that occur on the head forward of the blowhole and on the edges of the flippers. Humpbacks are baleen whales that have 14 to 35 long throat pleats that expand when the whale takes in water while feeding.
Northern Hemisphere humpbacks reach an average length of 49 to 52 feet (15-16 m), and southern humpbacks reach 60 feet (18 m). Females are generally larger than the males. The average weight for a mature adult is 35 to 50 tons.
RANGE/HABITAT: Humpbacks are found in all oceans to the edges of polar ice, and follow definite migration paths from their summer feeding grounds to warmer waters in the winter. In the North Pacific, where their populations reach 15,000, humpbacks feed in the summer along the coast from California to Alaska. In the winter, they migrate to breeding grounds off of Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Japan. The population in California migrates to Mexico and Costa Rica, whereas the Alaskan population migrates to Hawaii.
In feeding, they use baleen plates to strain other small fish such as krill or herring, and plankton out of the water. Their 270-to-400 baleen plates are dark and each is about two and a half feet long. Humpbacks use several different feeding methods. While "lunge feeding," they plow through concentrated areas of food with their huge mouths open, swelling with large quantities of food and water. During "bubble net feeding," which is unique to humpback whales, one or several whales blow a ring of bubbles from their blowholes that encircle a school of krill or fish. The whales then swim through the "net" with their mouths agape, taking in large amounts of food.
Humpbacks are best known for their haunting vocalizations or "singing." They have a rich repertoire that covers many octaves and includes frequencies beyond the threshold of human hearing. These songs, apparently sung by males, last as long as 20 minutes, after which they are repeated, often with slight changes. Each year, the song undergoes changes from the year before, but all males sing the same song. When a whale is singing, it floats suspended in the water, head down and relatively motionless. Behavior such as dominance, aggression, and mate attraction may be related to singing.
MATING AND BREEDING: Females give birth every two or more years. Pregnancies last for 12 months. The calves nurse for eight to eleven months. When weaned, the calves are 24-27 feet (8-9 m) long.
STATUS: Humpbacks are among the most endangered whales and less than 10% of their original population remains. However, in recent years, humpbacks have been observed more and more frequently feeding along the California coast. Nearly 1400 humpbacks feed along the California Coast in the summer and fall. The current word population is estimated between 35-40,000.
The Marine Mammal Center has helped several humpback whales over the years. One famous patient was Humphrey the humpback, who we helped twice. First in 1985, he swam up the Sacramento River, and then in 1990 he was stuck on a mudflat in San Francisco Bay. Both times, we successfully got him back out into ocean. In 2007, a mother and calf pair called Delta and Dawn, received world-wide attention as they swam 75 miles inland up the Sacramento River (going farther than Humphrey). Both had severe wounds from a ship strike. After antibiotics were administered to these free-swimming whales, a first in marine mammal history mom and calf returned to the ocean.
A new book covering Panasonic's GF1 and GF2 recently came out (in Taiwan only?) and it features some of the pictures found in my flickr stream, such as the three on these pages.
