It is the youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow... that are the aftermath of war.

Scott made it through his Lumina Photographic photo session with the triplets and spent his Tuesday processing the shoot. He's shown me the results and I think Mom and Dad will be very happy with the photos.
I was sort of a zombie on Tuesday so I snapped a couple quick shots of him at work and called it a day for photography.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

This was taken last week, after taking the shot of Brent that has ended up being so popular, as seen here. Brent was off running about fetching the car so we could load up the red sofa and move it to another location. (This ended up being the pier in Seatoun as can be seen here.)
I confess that essentially as Brent and myself went out shooting last weekend, we were really just playing about and having a laugh, not actually going out to try and shoot something really specific. If I'd gone out with any single shot in mind that I wanted to get, this was probably it. In my mind I'd visualised it slightly different, but it's a similar sort of feel I was after.
There was something about a baron and empty space that played off against a bold and brash in-your-face clash of colours to me, and although in my head the image had been composed differently, it's that kinda conflict I wanted to try and go at least some way to achieving.
Notes for those bothered:
* The sofa is still in the entrance to my place, all aired out and with a bit of sand still attached to the bottom. :-)
* I got asked and almost accused after the last shot numerous times of being a Photoshop whore, so for reference, this shot is largely unedited. I'm not a PS fan, I believe you ought to take the shot right in the first place and edit it to add the final sheen. This has had some burning in to give a vignette effect, basic levels tweak and desaturation on the colours except for cyan. And a bit of noise added. ;-)
If you want art in your apartment, gather your friends, drink, and paint. It won't matter whether or not you end up with masterpieces, each canvas will have it's own story.
Pentax ME Super 50mm f/1.4
As I stumbled into the kitchen, the aftermath of Pokerpalooza stared back at me with wild eyes, a grotesque display of debauchery. The sink overflowed with a mountain of greasy plates, resembling a decadent feast devoured by insatiable beasts. Piles of crumpled napkins, smeared with remnants of buffalo wings and cocktail sauce, littered the countertops like casualties of a reckless culinary warfare. The air reeked of stale beer and the lingering scent of cigar smoke, an olfactory assault on my senses. In this unholy mess of dishes, I could almost hear the echo of the raucous laughter and clinking poker chips, a haunting reminder of the frenzied revelry that had unfolded just hours before. It was a chaotic symphony of excess, a testament to the madness that ensues when the chips are down and the stakes are high.

I have been looking for a photo like this for a while, a building that was on fire and the water from fire fighting frozen all over it. It's sad though about any business or home that goes through the fire.
some times the best time

It has been raining almost constantly for the past three days, and though I do love the rain, I do not think I am appreciating it so much. It is making bus stops and photography more difficult - and it is destroying all of the dandelions. Although, I am so tempted to drive out to one of the villages on the outskirts of town and get some photos of the alliums that are soaked at the moment because they look so pretty with the water droplets. Perhaps tomorrow. I am too tired tonight.
I have been listening to Jeremy Messersmith a lot lately.
Did you know that the cargo hold of the current largest aeroplane is longer than the Wright Brothers' first flight? Thank the QI Elves' NSTAAF podcast from today for that fact.
The aftermath of the storm that rattled through here last night. We had been warned it was coming and our weather forecasters all said to get out and enjoy the leaves while we could as there wouldn't be many left on the trees after the winds and rain.What can I say, they finally got something right!
Happy Slider Sunday
