Photo of a photo, obvs. I was going through some photos last night and found a couple I thought I'd put up. I'm starting to marvel at how much my face has changed and not changed at the same time.
This was taken in the last couple of weeks in San Diego. Either late July or early August, 1999. I was crossing the border into Tijuana to get myself a monkey on a surfboard. Two of my friends from the UK were with me (taking the shot).
This used to be a standard pose of mine whenever a camera appeared. I didn't used to be so camera shy. I'm a little sad to discover how I've changed in that vein.
Haven't seen an impressive sunrise in quite some time, so it's back to the archives to remind myself what they look like.
I'd missed this one on initial processing of the shots from Howick Scar a month ago or so, as the bright reds of the early morning were much more eyecatching. On reflection though, I decided I quite like the way the clouds all seem to be being sucked away to the far right of the picture.
This was taken from about as far as I could go along the scar, using an ND grad to hold back the sky and cloudy white balance to warm the shot.

Bad weather outside so time to play with the backfiles. From a day in Central Wisconsin 3 years ago.
Those days we just used to grab the camera and some lights, and in this case a wedding dress... drive around and just play where the light seemed good.

From the archives a real-life cowboy doing his thing. I just happened across this cowboy and only had a moment to get this shot as he was gone in a flash. At first I thought the exposure was a bit off but that's just the dust being kicked up. The cows closest to the camera weren't impacted by the dust, at least not this side of them.

Berlin is a true gem for history lovers, as it is full of corners where many events of its long history as a city and also as the capital of Germany took place.
The so-called "Albert Speer Candelabra" (in German "Speer Kandelaber", also called "OWA Kandelaber", OWA are the German initials for "Ost-West-Achse" because they were part of the East-West Axis project, which in turn was one of the parts of the project "Germania Capital of the World", in German "Welthauptstadt Germania").
These candelabra were part of this East-West Axis from the Brandenburg Gate, for seven kilometers to what is now called Theodor-Heuss-Platz (in honor of the first President of Germany after World War II), which was previously called Adolf-Hitler-Platz and before that also Reichskanzlerplatz.
These candelabra were designed by the Berlin Energy and Light Limited Company (Berliner kraft- und licht-Aktiengesellschaft), because they had to meet a special lighting requirement along the entire Axis, which had to span a bridge over the Canal Landwehr at the Charlottenburg gate, without raising the bridge height too much and yet the channel had to remain navigable.
Albert Speer designed the outside of those candelabra.
Part of these candelabra, more like street lamps, had to be dismantled on the avenue now known as Avenue of June 17 ("Straße des 17. Juni", which was then called "Charlottenburger Chaussee"), since the part of the avenue that it is included between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column, in the last weeks of World War II, during the Battle of Berlin when the city's airports were no longer usable, as they were taken over by the Red Army, it was used for the take off and landing of Luftwaffe aircrafts.
Some 800 candelabra have been preserved since 1936, which have been repaired several times and are among the few remaining living vestiges of that megalomaniac project called "Germania World Capital", and despite the past time they continue to have a modern design reminiscent of works of art arising from the time of the Staatliche Bauhaus.

LOS CANDELABROS DE ALBERT SPEER, 2010
(De mi archivo personal de fotos digitales, 2010)
BerlÃn es una auténtica joya para los amantes de la historia, pues está lleno de rincones donde ocurrieron muchos eventos de su dilatada historia como ciudad y también como capital de Alemania.
Los llamados "candelabros de Albert Speer" (en alemán Speer Kandelaber, también llamados OWA Kandelaber, OWA son las iniciales en alemán de "Ost-West-Achse" por que formaban parte del proyecto el Eje Este-Oeste, que a su vez era una de las partes del proyecto "Germania Capital del Mundo", en alemán Welthauptstadt Germania).
Estos candelabros formaron parte de este Eje Este-Oeste desde la puerta de Brandenburgo, durante siete kilómetros hasta la hoy llamada Theodor-Heuss-Platz (en honor del que fue primer Presidente de Alemania después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial), que antes se llamó Adolf-Hitler-Platz y antes también Reichskanzlerplatz.
Estos candelabros fueron diseñados par la Sociedad Anónima de EnergÃa y Luz de BerlÃn (Berliner kraft- und licht-Aktiengesellschaft), porque tenÃan que cumplir un requerimiento especial de iluminación a lo largo de todo el Eje, que tenÃa que salvar un puente sobre el Canal Landwehr en la puerta de Charlottenburg, sin levantar demasiado la altura del puente y sin embargo el canal tenÃa que seguir siendo navegable.
Albert Speer diseñó la parte exterior de esos candelabros.
Parte de estos candelabros, más bien farolas, se tuvieron que desmontar en la avenida que se conoce ahora como Avenida del 17 de Junio ("Straße des 17. Juni", que entonces se llamaba Charlottenburger Chaussee), pues la parte de la avenida que está comprendida entre la Puerta de Brandenburgo y la Columna de la Victoria, en las últimas semanas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, durante la Batalla de BerlÃn cuando los aeropuertos de la ciudad no eran ya utilizables, pues estaban tomados por el Ejército Rojo, fue utilizada para el despegue y aterrizaje de aviones de la Luftwaffe.
Desde 1936 se conservan unos 800 candelabros, que se han reparado varias veces y son de los pocos vestigios vivientes que quedan de aquél megalómano proyecto llamado "Germania Capital Mundial", y a pesar del tiempo pasado siguen teniendo un diseño moderno que recuerda las obras de arte surgidas de la época de la Staatliche Bauhaus.

Must view LARGE!
I was going through some archives and found this little diddy. I can not believe that missed this one! Her eyes, her windblown hair, and the look on her face are perfect to me! Just thought that I'd share it with you guys!
