The clearing after our recent snow storm. While driving back home for 2 hours in a super slow speed I couldn't resist admiring the beautiful sky coloring. (;

Where: In Times Square in Manhattan, New York, USA.
When: Mid-September 2011.
What: A man slightly overwhelmed by the clean-up work after the Guardian Angels Fair.
Dead leaves that were still green, fallen on the ground, the morning after the early hard frost of 9 degrees.
I took a wander round the corner to the site of a large warehouse fire which happened on 15th January. The whole warehouse area has collapsed in on itself and I find the rust and mis-shapen metal fascinating. I felt a little voyeuristic taking these shots, but everyone got out safely. I'm not sure I could have taken them had there been injuries
Saw this guy with a collection placards after the Women's March. It's a boring job but someone's got to do it!
A big winter storm disrupted things for a couple of days. Catching this sunset in the aftermath made it all worthwhile.

On our way this afternoon to West Head the fire that swept through there last week has left a lot of devastation. It was pouring rain and just had time for one quick hand held shot.

Demolition workers approach the remains of the Layton high rise tower blocks which graced the skies of Queenstown Blackpool. Once familiar landmarks along with the famous Tower, and the first buildings visible on the way into Blackpool. The controversial tower blocks are now consigned to history.
Very early in the year 1974, Saint John suffered a tragic-----and extremely unusual-----accident. I'm writing from memory, and it was a long time ago, but I'll try to be as accurate as that imperfect memory allows.
Late in the evening of January 4, 1974, a transport truck driver inadvertently backed his rig into a gas pump,
spilling gasoline on the ground. There was also fuel stored underground at this Irving service station, which was located at the eastern end of the Reversing Falls bridge. Not long after the accident, the gasoline was somehow ignited . . .
At least four men died in the subsequent explosion. There's very little info about this on the Internet (understandably, I suppose), so one would have to visit the local library and consult the microfilmed newspaper archives for more detail. When the station blew up, I was at home, drying my hair in the family living room. At the time, I was just one month short of my 21st birthday. We lived on Mecklenburg St. in the South End, probably a good mile from the blast in a straight line. And yet, the force of the explosion shook the house sufficiently to knock an ashtray off a coffee table onto the floor. Remarkably, my parents slept through it!
I went and woke dad up, not knowing what had happened or where. I thought it was something close by and that we might be in danger.
The next morning, my younger brother and I walked all the way from the South End to the far end of Douglas Avenue, which had been closed to vehicular traffic. It was sunny but very cold that morning. What we saw upon reaching our destination was a smoldering pile of rubble. I had never seen anything like it before, nor have I seen the like of it since. I took a few photos with my Kodak Instamatic, and we walked back home.
There were a number of dramatic events that affected my hometown in the 1970s, including the great Saint John River flood of 1973 and the Groundhog Gale of 1976. The Internet is supposed to have 'everything', but just try finding information on these events, let alone pictures! There's very little. Today, everybody and his dog has a cellphone camera, and such disasters would be much better documented, at least photographically. Still-----and I want to emphasize this-----there MUST have been people with SLRs who photographed the flooding and the aftermaths of the service station explosion and the Groundhog Gale. Where are all those pictures now? Sitting as prints in old photo albums, perhaps, or as slides in display reels, or as negatives in envelopes? They deserve to be published, I would think. Personally, I'd be willing to pay for copies of these old images.
The progress of a prescribed burn at a nature preserve in southeast Michigan. Though it may look desctructive, fire is a necessary ecological management tool for most ecosystems in the Great Lakes region.
went 6 days without power........ finally out of the stone age~
This is Friday morning ,after the heavy ice storm, out in the neighborhood. A couple hundred thousand in my town and several surrounding areas without power, not to mention the other couple hundred thousand just over the New Hampshire line...
The aftermath of a large condo building fire. It was started because of improper disposal of a cigarette on a balcony. The result was devastating. All 106 homes destroyed and $16.3 million in damages. Thankfully, no humans were killed or seriously injured. I'm not sure about non-humans however (since media tends to not care about that)

Still sorting the archives, the shot is a composite of the flooded creekbed after the water dropped and the scoured tree roots with a texture overlay and a shot of my main model, Teegan placed into the image.
The flooding of 2011 gave a lot of anxt and did a couple of dark digital composites at the time.
Have not done any of the dreaming work in some time inspiration eludes me
