This image was taken back in the early stage of autumn back in October at the woods near Stourhead.
I was fortunate to be able to capture the golden colours of autumn before Mother Nature decided wind and rain would be best.
The transition of colour was something that was noticeable. I wanted to capture this transition against the ever green forest or vice versa. To achieve this I adjusted the focal length to move further into the landscape, which was also helped by switching between FX and DX to help crop into the scene and adjusting the composition.

The Transition Report 2016-17 casts a spotlight on inequality and inclusion, explaining how a failure to deliver a fair distribution of the fruits of progress may lead to setbacks in political and economic development. It also explores the causes of inequality of opportunity and looks at how to strengthen financial inclusion.
Tracking the successes that have been achieved in post-communist societies, the report concludes that the “happiness gap” has finally closed with people on similar incomes in non-transition countries, but warns that not everyone has shared in this economic prosperity.
This latest annual analysis draws on a wide-ranging survey of people who have experienced transition first-hand.
A fallen autumn leaf lying on the forest floor, one amongst many, in transition, slowly decaying and disintegrating, is it an ending or a beginning? Giving life to the tree through spring and summer, then slowly dissolving into the ground beneath to be absorbed by the soil to feed the tree from below and then all to begin again.
The Ruprechtskirche
Ruprecht's Church is the oldest church in Vienna. According to legend, it was founded by the two missionaries from Salzburg, Chuniald and Gislar, in 740. The first recorded document in which the Ruprechtskirche is mentioned, dates back to 1200 and refers to the donation to the Abbey of the Scots (Schottenstift) by the Babenberg Duke Henry Jasomirgott (d. 1177).
The church is the St. Rupert (d. 715/716 ) dedicated, Bishop of Worms first and then has worked about 10 years in the construction of the church in Salzburg. The Feast of St. Rupert is on 24th September celebrated. He is the patron of salt sailors and of the city of Salzburg. The connection of St. Ruprecht with the salt trade, a major industry from the Middle Ages to the 19th Century, is often used.
From the Romanesque to the present
The oldest to this day preserved walls of Ruprechtskirche date back to the early 12th Century: They are the walls of the nave with the gallery and the lower tower floors with Romanesque double windows. After a devastating fire in 1276 which destroyed almost the entire city center of Vienna, a large part of the church has been gothicised. The nave was given a Gothic apse and the tower was raised by a story. The two bells today still in use originate from the 13th Century and are mounted in a remarkable way to yokes without screws. In the 14th Century the church was enlarged: the southern outer wall was breached and by the nave with Gothic rib vault extended. From the Middle Ages to the 19th Century was located right next to the bell tower the so-called Prague House. It was occasionally used as a secondary residence of the Dukes and had direct access to the church gallery. This building housed between 1500 and1824 the salt Office. Here was the from the Salzkammergut by ship delivered salt temporarily stored and resold. In return, the salt Office hat to pay for the preservation of the church. After the introduction of the salt free trade in 1824, the Prague House was demolished in 1832. About hundred years later, the Ruprecht church and its annex, the present sacristy were redesigned again. With the renovation at the end of the 20th Century it was to secure the building structure and to adapt the interior for a contemporary liturgy. This quality and simplicity were equally sought to allow concentration on the essentials.
The windows
The central window of the apse has survived since about 1270 through the ages unscathed and is the oldest stained glass window of Vienna. It shows in the upper part Jesus on the Cross with Mary and John, the lower the Madonna and Child. The two lateral apse windows (Tahedl Heinrich, 1949 ) represent the St. Rupert as a teacher or as a bishop with the Church founders Chuniald and Gislar. At the beginning of 1990s, the church received new Glass Windows by Lydia Roppolt (1922-1995). They show in the nave on the topic a cycle "Praise God for deliverance from the depths of distress" (Daniel in the Lion's Den, Jonah with the fish, the three youths in the fiery furnace) and in the apse the founding history of St. Ruprecht. Several abstract designed windows have the " Praise of Creation" on the subject.
The interior
In the nave dominates at the transition to the apse a Baroque crucifix, in the church since 1765. The stone altar is Romanesque in its lower layers. 1703 a Baroque high altar had been built around it, which was removed in 1986. At the front pillars of the nave there is a wooden sculpture of St. Rupert of the 14th Century, at the rear pillar a late Gothic statue of Mary (ca. 1515 ) in an unusual representation: the child is not addressed, as usual, to the viewer, but to the mother and holding on to her firmly with outstretched arms.
The side altar in the apse of the lateral nave bears the by Ignaz Kienast (born 1959) of bronze casting with staves made Tabernacle (1998). Also in the aisle there is an octagonal baptismal font from Adnet marble with the inscription "A + M + D + Y + E + M" (anno MD aeternam in memoriam - in 1500 eternal memory).
In the staircase to the loft hangs the former high altar painting by Johann Georg Schmidt (1720). It shows St. Rupert with putti which are carrying his attributes - crozier, book and salt vessels. Another representation of St. Rupert can bee found next to the entrance to the sacristy: A relief from the early 16th Century. In a small chapel on the ground floor of the tower are statues of Joachim and Anna as well as a statue of Mary of ebony ("Madonna of Loreto").
At the gallery, a stone tablet to Emperor Frederick III remembers with his personal sign AEIOU and the year 1439. On the north wall of the church stands under the gallery the sarcophagus of St. Vitalis, of a martyr from the Roman Catacombs. The skeleton is dressed in baroque, missing parts were completed in wax. The martyr Vitalis reminds on those people who were due to their origin, belief or because of their faith victims of persecution.
A shot taken with my 55 f2 Auto Takumar mounted on my Fuji X-S10 @ f2.0. I love how these vintage lenses render colour etc. The 10 aperture blades are nice to have as well! I did not have the 55mm range added to my list of registered focal lengths so I just left it at 50mm on my X-S10. Close enough is good enough!

FORD Motor Company Fund, collaborating with the Los Angeles Chapter of the Freedom Sister’s and the National Veterans Transition Services, to address the many challenges women face as they leave the military back into civilian life. Presented a graduating class of 12 women at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in beautiful Beverly Hills California.
The Beverly Hills Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel was filled with an energy of excitement and encourage as 12 brave women who have served our nation entered the room for their graduation ceremony. These 12 woman embody intelligence, bravery, courage and sheer beauty.
The 2015 Freedom Sister’s Reboot Graduating Class #71 are as follows:
Eve Estrada (US Army Veteran), Doreen Ferris (US Army Veteran), Yolanda Franklin (US Navy Veteran), Tina Hammer (US Army Veteran), Yesenia Henshall (US Army Veteran), Heathra King (US Army Veteran), Lora Pietszak (US Airforce Veteran), Pamela Richardson (US Army Veteran), Monikkachelle Santos (US Navy Veteran), Rolanda Shells (US Army Veteran), Christina Silva (US Marine Veteran), Julienne Wills (US National Guard Veteran)
Freedom’s Sisters REBOOT Workshop takes its name from Ford’s earlier support of the Freedom Sister’s traveling exhibition, which celebrated the life of women civil rights pioneers, as well as present-day women who are making a difference in their communities. Several current members of the Freedom Sisters from the Los Angeles area will serve as mentors for the women’s’ REBOOT workshop in Los Angeles.
Freedom Sister’s REBOOT workshops are free, three week course for women veterans in Los Angeles. This program is specifically designed to address the many challenges and difficulties women face when returning to the uncertain future of being a civilian.
The courses ran for three weeks on the campus of National University where the women were able to attend free classes five days a week which focused on employment and career opportunities, personal well-being, goal achievement and makeover session to establish their overall style after their careers in the military.
As a group compared to men, women veterans are less likely to be married, and are more likely to be single parents and unemployed. In addition to higher rates of homelessness, they also often face gaps in medical care for women’s health issues as they enter a veterans system geared toward treating males. These issues are expected to grow as the number of women veterans increases. Women are expected to comprise 11 percent of the veteran population by 2020, up 9 percent.
“These brave women have served and sacrificed to defend our freedom, and yet there are few programs that address their unique needs as they return to the home front and to their families,” said Pamela Alexander, director of Community Development, Ford Motor Company Fund. “It’s another opportunity to say thank you, while also helping them make a successful transition.”
“We designed this program to meet the unique needs of women, and the training builds upon the participants’ military training, skills and experience,” said Maurice Wilson, co-founder, REBOOT Workshop and retired Navy Master Chief Petty Officer. “The workshop addresses the professional, social and personal aspects of life, along with connections to community resources that could also be of help.”
Ford’s support of military veterans dates back more than 90 years, when Henry Ford organized a cross-country caravan of 50 Model T Fords to take disabled veterans to the 1922 national convention of the Disabled American Veterans in San Francisco. Since 1974, Ford and Ford Fund have provided more than $8 million to veterans’ organizations. Today, Ford employs more than 7,000 veterans plus hundreds of active military personnel, reservists and guardsmen.
As a photographer and activist fighting for the rights and protection for the homeless and love income individuals here in Los Angeles, it was indeed a huge honor to once again serve as the sole and official photographer for FORD Motor Company.
It’s going to take some bold out of the box thinking, backed by people who truly care about overall well-being of humanity to effectively address and create positive change that affect the lives of these women and thanks to the bold thinking of FORD, the Freedom Sister’s and Maurice Wilson the ball is now moving forward in a direction of real change for women who need it right now.
I get to cover celebrity red carpet events all the time, but when I’m able to cover red carpet events such as these, my soul leaps because I am able to see first-hand just how much new ideas and positive thinking can truly change the lives of those who need it most.
Having the honor to see the smiles on the faces of these women as they walked onto the red carpet to cheering photographers congratulating them, thanking them for the service to this country and snapping their pictures was so amazing. Then hearing some of their personal stories and accomplishments and see just how very bright the future truly is for these courageous women was incredible.
Its red carpet events such as these that remind why I love photography so much. It’s companies such as FORD and organizations such as Freedom Sister’s that remind me, encourage me, implore me to continue my work for homeless individuals, low income families and individuals living with HIV or AIDS because it is the right thing to do.
Its phenomenal women such as Pamela Alexander, Angela Polk, Lynn Quigley, Beverly White, Cheryl Hudson, Phoebe Beasley, Valerie Blackburn, Daphne Bradford, Glenda Gill, Lawanda Hawkins, Rosie Lee Hooks, Denise Pines, Jessie Sherrod and KC Tuckness who encourage and remind us of what it means to be of service to those in need.
It’s events and red carpets like these where I have the honor and distinct privilege of capturing the true celebrities, the real stars and heroes who serve this country and defend our freedoms without fail. I commend and thank these brave women for their majesty and courage.

This beautiful woman sitting on Sunset Pier in Key West immediately caught my attention. The reason was that although she was a mature woman, she was very attractive and sexy like a young girl. However, I couldn't say how old she was but I noticed how her beautiful tanned skin was starting to have that transition that leads her to age. The point was that her image of herself at this stage was perfect, I hope for her that it stays that way without any aging process because she was perfect. From the aesthetic point of view of the photo I would have preferred her back to be a little straighter but that's fine.
This is a Swirl Barbie on an American Girl Barbie body. I got her many years ago as a Christmas gift for myself. She came in the American Girl bathing suit. She must have been sold during the transition from the ponytails to American Girls.
Borobudur, Magelang, near Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia.
Just six days after leaving the peacefull Brava Island, Cape Verde, I was in Java, one of the most crowded and busiest places in the world, at the heights of Borobudur. An amazing transition and contrast.
Borobudur is a ninth-century Mahayana Buddhist Monument in Magelang, Indonesia. Borobudur was abandoned following the fourteenth century Merapi eruption and decline of the Buddhist kingdoms in Java. Knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by the then British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. More than 504 Buddha statues make part of the temple (each bell shaped element houses one Buddha statue).
