Hillary Rodham Clinton - What Happened : her newly published book of reflections on the US Election 2016, rests on the easel of expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley, with his portrait tribute, painted soon after the first TV Debate.
The book reveals that not only is she a great politician, but a gifted writer - full of conscience, heart & good humour. 'Whatever Happened' is published by Simon & Schuster.
The artist's portrait tribute of Barack Obama was published in TIME in 2008; and this portrait was published in The Guardian newspaper.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is in private collections worldwide & other public collections which own his work include the BBC, London Transport Museum, Westminster Cathedral & The Royal Collection of Queen Elizabeth II - while his series of 30 paintings commissioned by the Tower of London are showcased as a permanent public art exhibit, at the entrance of the Tower of London, just outside Tower Hill Station, in The City of London.

Bird photography is a rewarding but challenging genre, requiring patience, skill, and an understanding of your subject. Capturing birds in their natural environment often means adapting to unpredictable movements and light conditions. To improve your bird photography, start by studying your subject’s behavior to anticipate their actions. Use a fast shutter speed to freeze motion and a telephoto lens for detailed close-ups. Incorporate natural elements like branches or foliage to create a sense of place, and experiment with different angles to highlight the bird’s unique features. Above all, respect wildlife and maintain a safe distance to ensure minimal disturbance.
Business-style headshot. My inspiration for this photo came from a well-known headshot photographer Peter Hurley. Peter has dialed in his approach to a winning photo and has narrowed it down to head position. The micro-adjustments that are necessary to get a natural pose are very subtle. At the end of the shoot all 150 shots looked roughly the same, however this was the clear winner. We tried all kinds variations of lean, smile, smize (smile with eyes) and head tilt. The key here was good communication and a willingness to try something that feels silly. You want your subject as relaxed as possible and in good spirits. As soon as the photography becomes too much, something needs to be changed. I wanted a clean background, which in this case came from one of those vinyl office chair matts that are used to protect flooring. I was unsure about this at first. However the semi-stiff nature of the vinyl allowed the sheet to bend slightly, resulting the varied tones in the background. I will definitely use this in the future. Lighting came from a thin bed sheet hung over a window camera right. The rest of the light came from a strobe reflected off of white walls behind the model camera left. Special attention was made to ensure that no reflections appeared in the glasses of the subject. Minimal editing was done to the photo. Not much beyond adjusting exposure, white balance, and contrast.

The votes are coming in…in the USA the Mid-Term Elections yesterday are revealing that The Democrats have won a record number of seats in the House of Representatives, giving them overall control for the first time in 8 years.
Hillary Clinton who won the popular vote by 3MM votes in 2016 remains a devoted Democrat, encouraging US citizens to get out and vote. Seen here are details from a portrait tribute painted by British expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley that year. The portrait was published in online Election 2016 news coverage in The Guardian newspaper.
The artist has a great affection for the United States - and his portrait of Barack Obama was published in TIME in 2008.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is showcased through a permanent art exhibit in London: his series of 30 paintings vibrantly charting the history of the Tower of London was commissioned in 2000 - and is reproduced throughout Tower Hill Underpass (outside Tower Hill Station, close to the Tower) - where Americans, amongst them many of his collectors, discover his work.

"London: the Swinging City" - the famous TIME Magazine cover of April 1966, coining a phrase which defined a significant era in London's history. A few months earlier, I had made my own first visit to London in the company of my parents. Our four-day visit began calamitously when an out-of-control learner driver broadsided our car in Vauxhall, but the Great Metrops exerted an immediate pull on me. We visited the Imperial War Museum, Gamages department store (clearly dying on its feet), the National Gallery and the Tate Gallery, travelling on the Central Line, but best of all, on the 88 bus route. London's buses were world-class, I concluded, and I wanted to make them a part of my everyday life. Returning to Hull after that brief introduction was an almighty anticlimax. Then along came the TIME cover story.
My overwhelming wish to move to London was eventually fulfilled in 1972. Deep joy. I withstood attempts by my first employer to locate me in Birmingham and later Nottingham (no quarrel with the latter, but it wasn't metropolitan). London seemed to have lost some of its 1960s' raw energy by the time I dropped anchor there, but I had over four decades of fulfillment. I was never unemployed, earned a fair salary and had a great social life. There were many pubs to visit and buses to ride - by far the best way to get around London.
TIME Magazine commissioned Gerald Scarfe to do the 1966 cover that is full of Swinging London symbols. He and I have the most tenuous connection: Scarfe was born in 1936, living firstly in Goldhurst Terrace NW6. He was bombed out of his childhood home during the Blitz. Goldhurst Terrace was my own London base for over 40 years.
"It's fun to ride the Beaver. New economy train. Seattle, Portland, San Francisco. Southern Pacific."
Cover of a brochure (dated July 20, 1940) advertising the Southern Pacific's Beaver train. Some excerpts from the inside pages:
"For train comfort at the lowest possible cost, try the friendly Beaver. It's really fun to save money on this popular chair car and tourist train, which speeds daily to and from San Francisco."
"Two streamlined chair cars on the Beaver have new-type reclining and adjustable chairs cushioned with foam rubber; extra wide windows."
"Free pillows, porter service, air conditioning, spacious rest rooms add to the comfort of riding in these luxurious chair cars."

Manny Pacquiao is the saviour of world boxing. He is at present the pound-for-pound boxing king. Global brands like Nike want him in their ads, he is a demigod in the Philippines. He is reportedly to earn $18 million in his coming fight with Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto on November 14 (November 15 in the Philippines).When he fights, everything in the Philipines is at a standstill. Crime rate is almost zero because his fights are telecast live and everyone is glued to a TV screen. If he win his fight with Cotto, he will become the only 7 time world champion in different weight divisions.

Havelock Island is famous for its pristine beaches, coral reefs and for a relaxing holiday.
Bestowed with the precious award of ‘Asia’s best beach’ by TIME Magazine, Radha Nagar Beach situated in Havelock Island is undoubtedly one of the best beaches of Andaman Islands. Fine white sand, turquoise blue waters and a lot of peace and serenity are the hallmark of this beautiful landmass. The water at the beach is of exceptional quality as there is almost not turbidity and wave action.
Well, OK then! Wonder if the same will be said with future generations, like it was with past generations :-)

Waiting for moments. Seeing an image prior to it lining up is something that happens often in street photography. Having two souls meet at that place and at that time not so often. I truly love photography.
The Time cover was a shocker. Front page news around the world. God didn't say anything and then Time did a cover with John Lennon saying he was more popular than Jesus. Haven't heard from God, Jesus or John for many years/

Photo from the Feb 17, 1986 Asia edition of Time Magazine. That's me in the background peering out from behind my Sony broadcast video camera. If you look carefully you can see the Minox 35 GL stuck to the top of the viewfinder by elastic bands. The film advance on this camera was a clumsy double-throw winder, very difficult to operate left handed, so I only managed two frames on film for myself. My job was to shoot video for CTV (Canadian) Television Network and pool for other networks. Of note is the byline at top right of this photo. Carl Mydans. By my calculation, this legendary photographer was 78 years old then.

Black-and-white photography often reveals the profound beauty hidden in everyday scenes, and reflections play a unique role in this exploration. By stripping away color, reflections emphasize texture, light, and contrast, creating layered compositions that challenge our perception. The reflective surface of a car, for instance, becomes a canvas for fleeting moments—a mix of clarity and distortion, of the physical and the ephemeral. In this image, the interplay of raindrops, the cleaner's movement, and the mirrored figures evokes a sense of quiet storytelling, where each detail contributes to the timelessness of the frame.
