Location: Vouraikos Gorge, Achaea, Greece.
The spread wings of the Crested Caracara provide a subframe for the second Caracara at the top of a cell tower they have frequented over the past week or so. Before they move on, I will take as many pictures as possible. By the way, I’m not really sure if this counts as “subframing.”
This was taken on Sullivan Street, somewhere south of Houston.
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...
Everest Base Camp trek, near Namche Bazaar, Nepal, 2009

'Straight at me... slowly... right!
'Why are we this close to these large boulders and rocks? Shouldn't we build a bit further away?'
These rocks will be part of our base... We can build higher this way, and use those natural caves as well...'
'Them rocks look weird, regular, almost build!'
'Ah well, probably just basalt or something, you have those weird geometric rock patterns at some place on earth too...'

I took the pieces from the Arctic sets and built a base out of them - check out the full build on The Brick Blogger!
Based on my yellow Ford Capri mk1 I built this Capri RS2600. Although I think this version isn't as easy recocnizable as the yellow one, I'm a bit happier with it. The wheels are a better fit in terms of size and especially the rear of the car looks better without the bumper.
Again the model is 7 studs wide, so kind of minifig-scale.
Like always I only used genuine LEGO parts, no cutting, no glue, no painting.

Shortly after the capture of Echo base on Hoth, Lord Vader himself questions briefly a few of the captured Rebels who couldn't escape in time. It does not take long.

Based on the exhaust up at the front of the Shasta Daylight, the Alcos on the point of SP train 10 are working hard in the Sacramento River Canyon. The engineer must be attempting to make up some time before the next station stop at Dunsmuir, California.
Not buying that? I wouldn't either. However, it was fun to dream that there was an A-B-A set of Alco PAs on the point of the Louisiana Worlds Fair Daylight as it curved along the Sacramento River. It may have been June 1984, but at times the views could have been seen three decades earlier.
This is the second shot of 3 that I am going to use based around previous image of dead tree, this was taken just the other side of tree, I like the clouds which were more prominent and work well here I think, the field did not have much going on such as good leading lines but I quite like the texture of the earth & trees.
Hope you like
