What's a city?
The place where we live, where we work, where we play?
The place where we rest?
What's a 21st Century City? The sum of its people, we make it what it is.
My submission for East Street Arts' 21st Century City competition was influenced by our life cycle as the people of Leeds. I wanted to capture the things that we do, whether it's work, worship, travel, play or our final goodbyes and how they are represented in the city's architecture.

in the back streets of chittagong, bangladesh. this not picture is beautiful, but does not reflect the true poverty and pain that exists in the city.
I met this friendly and beautiful model while trying out some test shots for a photo concept (top photo) and she even let me take a few more photos!

Stained glass windows of St. Catherine's Church, Eskdale. Again from the "wrong side", this time with hazy sun picking up the reflected colour on the outside rather than the usual transmitted colour on the inside.
JoPaul and I went to the zoo and botanical gardens yesterday morning. The water lily pond, or reflecting pool, was filled with beautiful lilies. I love the surface tension of the water around the leaf.
View of the Reflecting Pool with the World War II Memorial and the Washington Monument in the background. Taken from the Lincoln Memorial.
That day was really bright and sunny with high temperatures, but what a day! We spent all day walking around Washington DC. I really wanted to see the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial and they were great! I'd love to go back there some day!
I find myself doing a lot of reflecting lately...maybe that's part of what inspired this piece. I also find myself worrying about the future of the world for our children which is part of the reason for the war / post apocolyptic feel.

This week I jumped back into the fray of the Divine Diptych Project with recent recruit, the Tiger Moth.
Things have been hectic for me lately, with a move halfway across the world, but I was keen to get back into things with the project.
Bee Brady gave tTM and myself the theme 'Reflect', which you would think would be a dead easy theme to work with, but both tTM and myself found ourselves at a bit of a loose end. There were some ideas thrown around, but various constraints worked against those.
In the end, with the forest at her disposal, tTM took a mirror out and produced her wonderful self-portrait above. I love the tones, composition, feel of the image.
I wanted to work more with the 'contemplate' side of the word reflect, whilst still including an image of a reflection. Initially I was concerned that none of the images I was thinking of using would fit with tTM's detailed image, but when I tried this one, taken at the Redland Bay Cemetery in Brisbane, the tones and composition actually seemed to work with her image, for me. I'm still not sure I can explain why!
