Shells I found on the beaches of Sanibel Island, Florida, during a visit in February, 2018. I found some additional kinds, more familiar to me, & brought a variety home to share with my friends at a nearby nursing
home.
These grotty shells were everywhere on this fence...quite disgusting really, but made for interesting detail. I like the line of the fence and quite like that the post itself is slightly off centre. There's a spider up the top right too that looks great up close!

The unknown story of the broken sea shells collectors
At Uadaypur sea beach (3km from Digha at the Bengal-Orissa state border), hundreds of poor villagers (80% of them are women) gather on a particular time of the day at the peak of the low tide. They all carry a small net basket for collecting broken shells following the line of the waves. When the baskets are half-filled they empty their catch at the beach and go back to the waves again. Finally the shells are packed in bags for selling. After two hours of continuous hard work, two people together can fill only a 30-kg bag selling for INR Rs 30 (USD 50 cents) only.
The shells are rich source of calcium carbonate, use in feeder mainly at the India's growing poultry industry. Also, it has great demand in making the white (lime) paint. Traders and middlemen are always waiting to exploit these poor villagers. They make on-the-spot payment, collect the bags and transport them to the local market for a hefty profit of 300% by selling each bag for at least Rs 100 (USD $ 2).
I personally talked to the shell collectors and found no Govt. intervention to stop this exploitation. The state government can easily intervene by forming a cooperative and collecting the shells themselves by their nodal agencies with a reasonable price.

Shell Keeley Shoot…
I photographed the FABULOUS Shell Keeley recently. We met up and had tea at the Rococo Coffee House, in Liverpool. It was the first time I had met Shell, but we had been in touch via msgs on Facebook and such, so it didn’t really feel like our first meeting. I had wanted to photograph her because she simply looks divine, in her genuine vintage clothes PLUS she is the sweetest lady. So here we are, sat by the window in this rococo styled coffee shop, having a good old chin-wag, topics ranging from Vincent Price to Bette Davis, it wasn’t long before our cups were empty. So I set up my lights & we shot away.
We then packed up, Shell made a quick out-fit change (1930’s German red dress), and we were gone.
NEXT UP…
OUT DOOR SHOTS
We had a little wander about, taking pictures with just natural daylight. Stunning results with backlighting from the sun. Shell has the BEST eyes, so I took lots of close-up shots with an aperture of F/1.7 at 100 ISO, with my Pentax manual focus lens.
Really happy with the results, and you wouldn’t believe it was Shell’s first ever photo session. Beautiful pictures of a beautiful person, with the most impeccable manners. A true lady.
