Stockholm, 2017
For those that know me, I'm a bit introverted such that I tend to shy away from street photography. Where this type of photography is concerned, I'm not one to focus on the downtrodden or marginalized sections of the population, but I will occasionally snap a candid shot here and there. In juxtaposition to the limited amount of visible minorities in and around Stockholm, this Roma woman struck me as very strong and determined in her drive to collect recyclables. She walked with purpose, likely headed to the nearest collection point to cash-in her lot. Looking to provide for her family in this obvious foreign land.
Today, 11 November we remember, we honour those who served and those who paid the supreme sacrifice in World War I in particular and in general too, those who served in all wars. This special gate sits outside the front of Kelvin Grove State School in Brisbane. Although the weapons were laid down and physical engagement ended on 11 November, 1918 often 1919 is used as the Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended the state of war was not signed until 28 June 1919.
Today's three photos all link to WWI.
No doubt those of you with an eagle eye will notice this shot was taken well before sunset which yes is out of keeping for me because as you know I am not normally allowed out until after dark 😜😂.
However, on this occasion I asked my doctor if I could be permitted to go out during daylight hours and he felt provided I was accompanied by a responsible adult it would not be too much of a problem.
It just so happened that a very good Flickr friend Mark Dixon was holed up nearby and he fitted the brief of the responsible person perfectly! 🙈😂.
I contacted Mark who was up for an adventure onto the Bude Breakwater.
Mark was very brave as he sat next to me in the car making sure I had the wheels in contact with the road as opposed to the door handles.
The journey into Bude went off almost without incident (I am not going to mention a certain mobile phone😂).
Though this photo was taken approximately the middle of June, we had not long been on the breakwater wall and the gear plus us were covered in seawater from the fearsome onshore winds 👹.
As always when Mark and I meet up the photography is pretty insignificant, it is more about the appreciation of life in general, taking in the sights and sounds of these wonderful locations, plus how lucky we are to be in a position to enjoy them.
A good evening was had by all, look forward to your next visit Mark.
So appreciate you viewing my photos, the banter and comments you leave are very kind.
May I wish you all out there in Flickrland a good weekend 👍🍺🍺🍺😎🍷🍷🍷😂😂😂
Those streets with the long steel stairs fascinated me, everywhere you could see that people were intertwined with it in the street life
Well the weekend has landed and I'm looking forward to spending it with friends, family and this little guy. My favourite subject!
For those following my photography last summer, it consisted mostly of shooting this boy with my GoPro in the sea. Here's to more of those coming soon.... :)
Have a good one guys!
2011 Ferrari 458 Italia
The headlights on the 458 do look a bit like Alien Eyes...something from a Sci-Fi movie.
Which is why I think it's one of the best looking Ferraris. I climbed up the back of my Avalanche to get this angle.

For those who haven't heard of this amazing engineering which connects two canals on different levels.:
This is showing a canal boat being lowered to the canal below within its tank which has now disconnected from the upper canal. (see previous photo)

Reflections on a cloudy day.
Those of us obsessed with water reflections look for any occasion that allows us the light to capture them with the camera. The challenges are addictive. And I continue with the idea of searching with the camera for "something hybrid" that goes beyond the photographic, determined to translate or transform a photograph into an abstract painting.
The image has been developed with minimal adjustments.
Reflejos en un día nublado.
Los obsesionados con los reflejos acuáticos buscamos cualquier ocasión que nos permita la luz para captarlos con la cámara. Los desafíos son adictivos. Y sigo con la idea de buscar con la cámara "algo híbrido" que vaya más allá de lo fotográfico, empeñado en traducir o transformar una fotografía en una pintura abstracta.
La imagen ha sido revelada con ajustes mínimos.
Notch-horned cleg fly female, on my car.
Playfully, I say that this is a typical female: she has the most beautiful eyes, but she wants your blood.
Time is too slow for those who wait; Too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love time is eternity. - Henry Van Dyke
Those moments when I left the camera at home, I am glad to have my phone.....
This picture is taken with: Samsung Galaxy S II LTE (GT-i9210).

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength
that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing
in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night,
and spring after winter. Rachel Carson

And we debate between those possible solutions. And by the process of debate, we pick the best idea. That competition between good ideas from both sides about real problems in the real country should result in our country having better choices, better options, than if only one side is really working on the hard stuff. And if the Republican Party and the conservative movement and the conservative media is stuck in a vacuum-sealed door-locked spin cycle of telling each other what makes them feel good and denying the factual, lived truth of the world, then we are all deprived as a nation of the constructive debate about competing feasible ideas about real problems :-(

Those two rocks!!
You have to get the tide right, the time of year right fort the sun to be in the right place, which is in the (Autumn), then you have to hope for the right weather. Oh plus you need to have the day off work! So far after three years of trying this is my best shot. But by no means quite right.
..those summer days, a tribal ritual of strength and daring in front of the girls on the beach

What are all those aircraft doing to all my lovely star trails. Those vandals! And who made the sky a muddy brown?!
There was no moon on this night so all the light is supplied by light leakage from the 7 million inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay Area - yes, even the light on the face of the mountain is from light pollution.
The brown resulted because the exposures were started later in the evening - long after twilight. Without the moon to "blue up" the sky the stray light of low pressure sodium vapor lamps and tungsten lights works its muddy deed. When I get a few months I may try to REMOVE all of those aircraft trails from the SFO and OAK airport it seems, however, that it's like trying to paint out graffiti on a Los Angeles Freeway...
If you want to know more about Mission Peak I wrote a lovely article on my blog.
If you're wondering "Steven, how do you get these long exposures late at night - the park closes at 10 pm" the answer is: I'm already home asleep! I make my camera do the work by itself. If you do happen to see a camera all by itself in Mission Peak Preserve... please leave it alone - it doesn't take well to strangers ;-)

For those of you who have seen the series "Keeping Up Appearances" you'll certainly understand the title. For those who have not see this series....
Hyacinth Bucket "It's pronounced Bouquet" was fond of saying weak as water when someone was acting in a weak or indifferent way.
10:30 last nigh (2330) a thunderclap broke loose, enough to shake the windows in the house. All right, I thought, the storms have arrived and I'm going to catch them. I headed out to my local spot and set up, anticipating the great show that was coming up.
Unfortunately the great storm turned out to be "weak as water" and this is the best of what I got. I called the pursuit at 11:30 (2330) and headed back home, once again disappointed in the show that Mother Nature had decided to put on. Hopefully she'll get her act together and give the viewing audience the show they deserve.
The weather guesser is calling for storms today so with any luck I'll have something better to present tomorrow!
For those of you wondering, yes, this photo is on the cover of the book "Psychoanalysis Outside The Clinic: Interventions In Psychosocial Studies" by Stephen Frosh, and yes, all the i's have been dotted and the t's have been crossed. I was very honored he was interested in using it for the cover.
I want to thank daioni1976 for the B&W suggestion.
This was my 2008 Photo of the Year.
