The handsome student striding out with all the confidence of an Oxford education and catching the eye of the tourists behind him.
Just leaving an exam by the looks of it. I can't tell what sort of gown he's wearing (I think there's three types), but a white carnation means a first examination. Looking cool in his dark glasses, mortar board in his left hand and I assume that's a bottle of champagne in his right. (He doesn't look the Prosecco type.)
As of October 2022, of the 57 prime ministers to date, 30 were educated at the University of Oxford (including 13 at Christ Church), compared to 14 at the University of Cambridge (including six at Trinity College).
So a future prime minister? He certainly has the air of ownership about him and knowledge of his place in the world.
When precipitation *didn't* mean sleet, snow, ice and slush! Photographed in downtown Toronto in early October 2019 when weather was...er...different. I just liked this guy's attitude: "OK, it's wet, no umbrella, gotta get there...now!...so, let's go!" Processed in PS.
This water strider was settled nicely on the surface of this pond - after viewing on the computer, I noted the depression in the water caused by the right front leg. So interesting how they can stay on the surface.
My rally collab rover. Tried to do something outside my comfort zone with this, and I think it came out okay. I'll update the posts for the collaborators as they post :)
Multiple exposure of the spot on Henriques Street where the gated entrance of Dutfield's Yard used to be with the unofficial memorial for Elizabeth Stride.
Stride was found inside the Yard by Loius Diemschutz at 1 AM on September 30th 1888. She was found with her throat cut, but it is generally believed Diemschutz entering on his pony & cart interrupted the Ripper before he could inflict more damage to the victim.
Diemschutz went to get help, so it could be possible that the Ripper was hiding behind the gate & fled when Diemschutz went to seek assistance.
Taken in 2016, & I've shot several versions of this on different films such as here:
Nikon F4. AF Nikkor 24mm F2.8D lens. Ilford Delta 100 35mm B&W film.
I find I like the blurred surface tension depressions in the water a great deal... and the way the three striders fortuitously positioned themselves in little spotlights of reflections.
(See, Jeff.... I can post creepy crawly things!)
I'll be away for a while now, so this may be my last post for some time. I will try to keep up with your photos periodically....

Lightweight bipedal weapons platforms. These are heavily influenced by the Gekkos from MGS, although I have changed several aspects, particularly the visual sensors (the black cluster on their noses)

***********************************
In August 2015, I had the great pleasure of taking a week-long photography workshop in Rockport, Maine under the tutelage of Peter Turnley. Its main theme was street photography, and we made several visits to working-class neighborhoods in several Maine towns where (unbeknownst to me) there are large populations of working-class immigrants from Somalia, Sierra Leone, and various other countries around the world.
Most of our “field” exercises were carried out in pairs, threesomes, or foursomes; and in many cases, we were lucky enough to follow along behind Peter Turnley and watch his amazing style and techniques.
But in some cases, I ended up alone — including the first afternoon of the workshop, where I drove a few miles up the road from our classroom, to spend the afternoon looking for photo-ops in the small town of Camden, Maine. Meanwhile, my classmates spent their time in such small Maine towns as Rockport, Rockland, and other picturesque spots along the water.
I’m slightly acquainted with the town, from several previous visits to attend the “PopTech!” technology conferences in the month of October. So I was able to spend far less time worrying about getting utterly lost in a strange place, and more time focusing on the people — mostly tourists, as it turned out — along the streets.
Of the hundreds of photos that I took during that first afternoon, I ended up with about a dozen that I felt were worth sharing with my classmates. This is one of them...
Office day in London today - got here a little early which gave the chance for a quick walk. Managed to time this perfectly - few seconds later and a flood of people walked through the scene with St Paul’s in the background.
It looks exciting how they use the surface tension of the water to walk. This works mainly because of many, fine hairs on the legs.
Wasserläufer
Ich finde es sieht spannend aus, wie sie die Oberflächenspannung des Wassers zum Laufen benutzen. Das funktioniert hauptsächlich wegen vieler, feiner Haare an den Beinen.

This male lion was one of a coalition of two brothers. They were on a mission to meet up with some females who were just up the road. He was definitely very focused !
