In trying to get my photo mojo back I went on a Meetup Photowalk. This one was using only your cell phone camera with minimal post processing. In fact I didn't do anything to the first two photos, not even cropping! Good to get back to taking my time with the composition. It was really fun and the people were great.
This was in the Mt Pleasant area in Vancouver.
As I was walking to the butcher after work tonight the sun belting down on this red brick wall and the composition of all the elements within this shot caught my eye.

Another first time using a certain film, this time Kodak Ektar 100.
Walking down from the flower market leads pretty much directly on to Brick Lane. A long, busy, Sunday market with plenty of colours and bits of street art dotted around.

In 1867 Shaw, Goldstraw, & Swift first appear as manufacturers of fire bricks and sanitary tubes, at Clayton Street, Daisy Bank, Longton. They are not listed in the 1865 trade directory although it is clear thatthe site was in production before 1857 when the south side was occupied by the Orchard Place Brick Works and the north side by Clayton Street Brick & Tile Works. In 1879 Goldstraw is no longer involved with the firm which then traded as just Shaw & Swift. By 1912 Ayshford Street was built along the access off Clayton Street and became the address for the brickworks. Still listed in 1924, the business had closed and the works had been demolished by 1936.
Both the bricks illustrated are from nineteenth century buildings in Longton and the upper one with the reversed 'G' in the lettering is, I believe, from quite early in their history and contains some quite large pebbles.
Found more or less on-site, where the Little Mill brickworks was. Now a go-kart track.
This brick looks like it might be a misfire from the warped shape and big crack in it.
Bricking Bavaria 2015 in Munich. All shown builds belong to their individual builders/owners. I was only visiting the show.

Took a pile of pictures at Brick Fiesta this year. Turnout was a bit disappointing compared to last year, but still had fun. I seemed to be damn near the only non-Texan at the con.
Follow the rainbow over the stream, follow the fella who follows a dream, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road.
Bricks Cascade is less than two months away, so come join in the fun! Here are just a few of the things happening at Bricks Cascade's first year...
Castle - "Winter is Coming" Castle's theme is from the incredible books and TV series, "Game of Thrones". There are plenty of prizes, but only one brave AFOL will win the coveted Iron Throne. Other awards include "Honorable Castle", "Impenetrable Castle", and "Bannerman", for the best collaborative build.
Space - "Space Invasion" Whether it be humans or aliens, bring your military ships, vehicles, and moonbase modules to be a part of an all out invasion. AFOLs who register MOC cards ahead of time for their space creations, will earn Combat Ribbons for their badges. The trophies themselves will be in the form of a Medal and matching combat ribbon.
Mecha - "Why can't we be FRIENDS?" That's right, bring your best FRIENDS themed mecha to be crowned "FRIENDliest Mech", or if that's not your style, build and bring a war machine to compete for "Unfriendliest Mech"! Maybe you want to try your hands at a non combat mech. Build anything from pizza delivery, to strip mining, anything is eligible for "Best Supporting Role"
New games include:
Blind Minfig Sort - Test your tactile skills against your friends to see who can identify unopened, collectible minifigs the fastest.
Brick Hunt - Find the real LEGO bricks among a pile of fakes. The winner is the one who finds the most! Keep what you find, because who knows? There might be some rare pieces mixed in...
Blind Pair Build - Pick a partner and test out your building skills. One of you can only see the instructions, while the other can only see the bricks. You must guide your partner as they attempt to build a LEGO set based only on what you tell them.
If you want to come set up early, the tables will be set up and ready for MOCS Thursday, May 31st, at noon.
