I’ve had a bit of a gap in posting photos. This is partially due to looking for work, again, but also because I’ve just begun doing some 35mm analog/film photography. I am brand new to it, and the process is more involved than digital. It takes a fair bit of time and intentioned focus to shoot the film (entirely in manual and with a very limited number of shots per roll), have the film developed, review and scan the negatives (a process I am not totally happy with quite yet), and, finally, process the negative scans to digital positives. It is nice to learn something new, though, and the slow down and forcing a more deliberate and focussed process is good. Here are two decent shots that came from two rolls of film, a black and white roll (Kodak Tri-X 400) and color roll (Kodak UltraMax 400). The black and white shot is taken at the Sutro Baths in the northwest corner of San Francisco. A young man is doing a handstand while being precariously perched on top of a large rock in the middle of a pool of water. The color photo was taken at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco in an area slightly off the beaten path, where actual working fishing boats are docked. I have a very similar shot taken and shared earlier this year.

This cool interactive map on Heritage-Key.com allows you to scroll to any area of the world and find out what ancient sites and/or artefacts you can see in that place, with a colour system to indicate how well-endowed a particular area is in the ancient relics department.
It's quite fascinating to see how antiquity is spread out across the world. Of course, there are the usual ancient suspects you'd expect to score highly - Rome, for instance, has a healthy relic-rate. Other areas are more surprising.

The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall in German) is the largest plain waterfall in Europe.
The falls are located on the High Rhine between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen-Uhwiesen, near the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland, between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zürich. They are 150 m (450 ft) wide and 23 m (75 ft) high. In the winter months, the average water flow is 250 m³/s, while in the summer, the average water flow is 700 m³/s. The highest flow ever measured was 1,250 m³/s in 1965; and the lowest, 95 m³/s in 1921.
Chuo-dori, the main shopping street, at the crossroads of Ginza, boasts a different institution on every corner. The Wako building, one of the oldest department stores in Ginza, would have been over 100 years old if it hadn't been hit by the 1923 earthquake. Its clock has been keeping time since 1898. A couple of feet away is the prestigious Mitsukoshi shop with its mouth-watering pastries. The crossroads is also home to the San-ai, a glass cylinder that soars up into the air. The first two floors are taken up by the Doutor café. A little further on is the Shiseido Building by Ricardo Bofill, which houses an art gallery and two panoramic restaurants.

Tokyo, officially Tokyo Metropolis, is the capital of Japan and one of its 47 prefectures. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government.
Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands.
Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters. It officially became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from the old capital of Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo.
Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府 Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市 Tōkyō-shi). Source: en.wikipedia.org

Tian Tan Buddha (天壇大佛), also known as the Big Buddha, is a large bronze statue of a Buddha. The Tian Tan was completed in 1993 and located at Ngong Ping on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. The statue is located near Po Lin Monastery and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and religion. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a popular tourist attraction.
The statue is named Tian Tan Buddha because its base is a model of the Altar of Heaven or Earthly Mount of Tian Tan, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. It is one of the five large Buddha statues in China. The Buddha statue sits on a lotus throne on top of a three-platform altar. It is surrounded by six smaller bronze statues known as "The Offering of the Six Devas" and are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha. These offerings symbolize charity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, all of which are necessary to enter into nirvana.
The Buddha is 34 metres (112 ft) tall, weighs 250 metric tons (280 short tons), and was the world's tallest outdoor bronze seated Buddha prior to 2007.[2] It reputedly can even be seen from as far away as Macau on a clear day. Visitors have to climb 268 steps in order to reach the Buddha, though the site also features a small winding road to the Buddha for vehicles to accommodate the handicapped.

I'm off on a 6am train for Philly today. We're spending the day in the city of brotherly love, going book shopping and drinking a lot of coffee. Between being excited and my neighbor's early Valentine's Day...banging around under my bedroom, I've been up since 2:30.
Happy V Day, if you're the sort to like that.
(Yes, that's a Moleskine City Notebook for Philly.)
As promised, here are some black and white photographs I took earlier this summer while visiting Michigan. A long-time friend of mine, who also likes to take photos, and who happens to be an architect and artist, threw out the idea that while I was visiting we should go down to Detroit and shoot a bit. So, her, her partner (another long-time friend of mine), and I headed down to the Dequindre Cut Greenway and to Eastern Market in Detroit one hot summer afternoon. Detroit has an interesting and unfortunate history which has left huge parts of it dilapidated. This is often the focus of street and architecture photographers when shooting in Detroit. This is commonly referred to as ruin-porn. I ended up leaning in to this a bit with these photos, as you can tell, although I had some reservations in doing so. I do, however, see beauty in many of these things, and it always makes me wonder what these things were like when shiny and new. At this point there are pockets of people and new developments scattered around the city, but it has a long way to go and will probably never return to its former glory, unfortunately.

Nahan is famous for the local traditions and recently I got a chance to watch the 43rd Annual Hajrat Lakhdata Peer Sahib Dangal which took place at the dangal ground adjacent to the Lakhdata Peer Nahan. There were 50 participants from Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, UP and Delhi, who took part in the famous dangal and the final fight was between Kashmiri from Himachal Police team and Sukhwinder Singh who came from Merrut.

For more information about Macau city in China, please visit my website: www.abookaboutchina.com/travelguide/Macau
St. Pauls Cathedral in Macau was built between 1582 to 1602 by the Jesuits, the cathedral was the largest Catholic church in Asia at the time, and the royalty of Europe vied with each other to bestow upon the cathedral the best gifts. With the decline in importance of Macau, which was overtaken as the main port for the Pearl River Delta by Hong Kong, the cathedral's fortunes similarly ebbed, and it was destroyed by a fire during a typhoon in 1835. The Fortaleza do Monte overlooks the ruin.
The Ruins of St. Paul's (大三巴牌坊) refer to the façade of what was originally the Cathedral of St. Paul, a 17th century Portuguese cathedral in Macau dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle. Today, the ruins are one of Macau's most famous landmarks. In 2005, the Ruins of St. Paul were officially enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau.

2008. In warm campeche, mexico, i was dying for some refreshing mango slices. This kind perpetually-smiling woman seemed happy to sell some to me, with my poor spanish and clumsy hand gestures. Great, except for the fact that she was determined to add a nice big portion of dried chili peppers and salt on my refreshments. (Darn you, smiling lady!)
Guess you could say I am officially published. I was contacted through flickr by a company called Schmap. I agreed to let them use one of my photos in their Boston travel guide. Of course they make all the bucks and all I get is my name under a photo of a case of cheesecakes. Oh, I can just see all the emails from people wanting to buy my photos. Big whoop.
