Just recently I’ve seen quite a few of my contacts heading over to 500px (for those of you that are unfamiliar with it, it’s a new photo social networking site, but unlike flickr you can vote for images to reach the front page). Now I know there are plenty of other photography social networks around, ephotozine, photoradar, x1, even facebook, but what I find interesting about the rise of this new one is not the site in particular, but the my contacts behaviour in approaching this new site. Many are posting what they themselves consider their best most successful work, filtering their new uploads to present them in the very best light. Now, there is nothing wrong with this at all, in fact it’s a good way to gauge a new community and gain valuable feedback. But for most new members dipping their tow into the water, their new community is largely the same faces with different avatars. There is nothing new and it’s like a different pub with the same friends, it feels fresh, but people still behave the same.
Any social network is based on its members and the rewards come from the social interaction. Personally I find maintaining several different social networks are very difficult. Investing limited time in different places weakens the experience and even changes your brain. ironically I was a listening to a neural scientist yesterday on Radio 4 that said , (and I paraphrase), our new fast and fleeting world of quick face book texting, email and the quantity of distractions is damaging our neural pathways. He said that people generally find it difficult to concentrate in the depth due to distractions and the quality of concentration is improved with no distractions from email, text, ect!
Anyway I digress, but the point I want to make is that anything that you really engage in, in depth offers bigger physiological rewards; it pushes you further and enriches your life.
Oh, just for an experiment I posted a new shot to this new site first to see how I felt about it. I personally will keep only one social network, but I will stay with the one that offers the deepest and best engagement with the people that I respect and find inspiration in their work. Where that will be in the future time will tell.

Prague-Vršovice, Czech Republic
Marco Montanari mi coglie intento a studiare il testo di "tempo reale" prima di entrare in cabina voci per registrare il brano dell'album matumago x-press...
grazie Sfrevol!!
ed ecco il testo dell'inciso e la prima strofa:
Crea la realtà, il tempo,
radici nelle forme s’offre alla continuità
per realizzarla, ci lasha orme,
ke okkio umano non ricordi se non cerkerà,
dorme nelle nebbie dell’età
ormeggia in porti grigi salpa con la creatività enorme
fiera della vanità
deformerà l’istinto libero e la carne degli dei
coi suoi sei 6 sei sacrifikerà!
Se vai nell’emporio del tempo e lo spazio,
cerki l’ampolla con dentro il composto d’equinozio e solstizio
col sole ke si ferma, qui dalla terra ferma a lassù sulla stella,
lenta come creshita di erba su colli pregiati
per i vitigni ke vi si sviluppa...
avvisi di paniko sholgo in una densa skiuma ke tutto lo stress avviluppa
faccio shendere strippati per ritmi frenetici dalla luna colla capa per mezzo di shuttle shaluppa,
seghe e pugnette e BACILARE(1) poco poco
ti rendi conto quanto ce ne resta poco, dopo
il tempo passa sempre troppo poco svelto se t’imparanoi
passa a lampo se lo godi ed altro ne vuoi,
impara come noi altri a fregarli
dall’avamposto del sogno rompo incantesimi e trattati di Darwing
Give me some magic.
在拍的時候內心就想到一定要加上texture
不然畫面完全不可能呈現我想要的(夢幻感) (?) 呵
anyway 就亂亂玩拉~
enjoy your Thursday, my friends ~

At the link below other pictures I took of this subject that is one of my photographic obsessions
37025 has landed back on Network Rail test trains after a brief run on engineering trains and I saw its run from Falkland Yard as an opportunity to test the 90D's low light capabilities.
'Inverness T.M.D' is pictured at Uddingston running around 30 minutes early on its return to Slateford yard - running as 3Q62. It's in charge of one of the UTU sets with DBSO 9703 trailing at the rear.
Full formation was;
LOCO 37025
96604
6260
62287
9808
DBSO 9703
Horizon Kompakt
Fuji Acros 100 BW negative film
HC-110 dilution B

43303 hauling the second test run on the day through The Langtons
(1Q02 10.17 Leicester L.I.P. to Leicester L.I.P.)
On an overcast Saturday afternoon, CDOT GP40-2H 6696 leads a southbound test extra through Wallingford. Train crews were qualifying the line from New Haven to Springfield and back as the new CTrail service will be starting in May.
Skipping into Derby for a quick reversal into the RTC is Network Rail class 67 no. 67012.
Travelling as 1Q15 the crew likely had a pleasant ride on a sunny day through Worcester and down to Oxford North Junction before returning home in time for an early doors.
Sadly missed the loco on the other end through general indolence.

47627 City of Oxford heading south through Bensham on 6th July 1989 with a short test train composed of four Mk4 coaches and Test Coach 10.
Scan from a 645 Kodachrome 64 transparency.
Testing and loving looks synonymous now, at least to me.

This was taken on the last batch of test film that was released by the Impossible Project 3 months ago. Quinn and I got some pretty good results and I got to rummage her stuff and rearrange it. I love shooting indoors, because the way a scene looks is a bit more fluid. I can slide a couch out of the way, put up a backdrop, or move everything closer to the windows so I can utilize the natural light that's available. As a matter of fact, using the light coming in through the windows was important on this shoot for testing something else, because I was still getting the hang of my new SLR 680. I don't think I'd done more than one or two other shoots with that camera, and I'm probably just now getting the hang of it. I takes a lot of testing to get used to these old cameras and new film types.
