I think we originally planned to go back to the Oktoberfest but it was a very blustery day in Munich so we decided to check out the Residenz Museum instead. It's not really a museum, it's more of a huge palace belonging to a major ruling family. I think the complex was completed in the mid-1500s and it lasted until 1944 when Allied bombers destroyed most of it. After the war, the building was rebuilt as close to the original as possible. The building itself is very ornate; there is so much to see. I think 90 rooms are open for visiting. I don't know if we hit all of them but Heather and I spent about 5 hours here. After sharing some bratwurst, Heather had a burst of energy and went drindl shopping and I did some people watching near the New City Hall. Very nice day out!
I took these photos in late September 2019.
This cheap Vista Plus 200 film from Poundland makes outstanding redscale film.. more to come from this roll yet!
This whole roll was shot at ISO 25.

People don’t think that Sheffield has history, but we have the largest “listed” building in Europe. It sounds like Sheffield must have an enormous cathedral or massive castle. But, no, the largest listed building in Europe is (or, rather “are”) Park Hill Flats. Built in the late 1950s/early 1960s, the flats divide opinion more than Marmite (I’m one of those people who doesn’t really have strong opinions on the yeast-based spread).
Personally, I think they are a fascinating idea. To appreciate them you have to compare them to the “back to back” slums which they replaced and the “high rise” flats which other cities erected as their way of replacing slums.
Park Hill flats look brutal, but they were well meaning. Each of the thirteen levels had “ground level” access (since they were built on a slope), making them disabled access ahead of their time (okay, to be pedantic, the thirteenth floor doesn’t have access on the ground level, but the fact that you can live on the twelfth floor of a building and still have milk floats drive off the street to the walkway outside your front door must have seemed very futuristic back in the 1950s when construction started).
Fascinating though they are, and I see the logic in “listing” them, they remain a blot on the Sheffield skyline. Being built right behind the train station, they are a brutal “introduction” to the city. So, whilst they should probably be preserved as an example of “what seemed like a good idea at the time” (after all, Architecture students need to learn what worked/didn’t work, we need to understand why mistakes were made), what I’d propose is a “Beamish” where we can rebuild structures like Park Hill if the local council doesn’t want them. Otherwise, “listing” buildings become an albatross, they may be “historically interesting” but they are a pain to organize your city around. If we don’t learn from history, we will repeat the same mistakes, true. But we need to find a way of preserving what is “good” and/or “interesting” without condemning towns/cities to remain lumbered with them.
Most people think of Puerto Vallarta as a tourist city. On a busy January afternoon and evening, I challenged myself to shoot photos of the buildings and people of Puerto Vallarta. Many are away from the well known tourist areas of the town. My goal with this photo and the others that are part of this series was to show a different side of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

I think that I've already mentioned that I visited Wells cathedral one Friday lunchtime. I was on my own and I spent about an hour there taking reams of photos with my digital camera.
This image is based on a three hundred and sixty degree panoramic that I attempted to take, towards the back of the cathedral. I had to discard a few degrees as it wasn't coming together well as a whole. What's left is about one hundred an eighty degrees, so I guess I got rid of almost half my work! Less is more or so they say, and I really enjoyed the colour and light in this part of the building.
When piecing it together, I honed in on the sharp blueish highlights and the golden yellows that fractal out towards overlapping terracotta reds. These are separated by inky dark tones, spatial distortions that fall back into the distance away from the surface plane.
The central mirrored forms have come together as shapes reminiscent of some kind of 'totemic being' It has a head that stares out through brightly lit irridescent eyes and multiple column like arms that reach out towards the edges of the image. It is as if it is trying to dominate the space, stopping the onlooker from advancing any furthur. Beyond this assumption, I am not sure of this 'beings' specific intent or purpose, but I can say that I was not expecting it to reveal its self at the back of Wells cathedral!

I took a series of photos for a brochure circa 1987. These are some old proof prints I did that were scanned. The original images were shot using an Olympus OM-2N 35 mm film camera, Zuiko 20 mm f/1.8 lens, and a Kodak B&W film optimized for graphics. The last gave a very high contrast tot the photos and was used because I had some left in the camera.

I think this was the coldest day of the 2014 Texas Renaissance Festival all season - it was downright nasty with bone-chilling cold, a big storm moving in - but pretty good shooting conditions considering the heavy overcast. There photos are from Saturday of the Barbarian Invasion weekend, usually one of the most crowded weekends at TRF. I think only the diehard Rennies came out to day, but it was still a blast!
I took these photos in November 2014 at the TRF in Todd's Mission, TX, about 60 miles NW of Houston, TX.
Pictured is Think Big project owner Lisa Watters, host of The Mood Food Collective; a series of fun cookery classes for young people in Limerick City. Lisa created and hosted the Mood Foods workshops over 6 weeks. Her project has been funded by Think Big, a programme created by O2 in partnership with Headstrong, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health, to inspire young people around the country to promote positive mental health.The Mood Food Collective encourages young people to cook foods that boost your mood. Studies have shown people should focus on brain foods and mood promoting fats to best nurture happiness, and The Mood Food Collective worked with different types of mood enhancing foods such as Dark Chocolate, Eggs, Coconut, Breads, Fresh Cod, Sweet Potato, Carrots, and Apples. Workshops have been taking place in the Health Hub Kitchen at the Learning Hub in Limerick during the summer months. our picture show from left:
