Today I started off walking past Hype tattoo parlour (one of my “targets”) but there was a joiner working in the doorway so even if I had plucked up the courage to venture into the unknown then I wouldn’t have been able to get the shot I wanted anyway - strike #1. Next I approached an elderly gentleman sat on a park bench - at 85ish he was a definite change of direction for me but alas he listened politely before courteously saying “I don’t think so” - strike #2. Ah well ...
… and so I found myself reverting to type with another bloke younger than myself - but the encounter was no less enjoyable for this.
Jordan was sat on part of the old Roman Wall finishing his lunch when I walked past and spotted a camera draped round his neck - this was enough for me so I approached and with very little discussion he agreed. Early on I asked what his camera was and he held it up - a Fujifilm bridge camera which I think he said he got for his 21st birthday as he wanted to buy something meaningful - this was his first proper camera other than compacts. Timing being everything I then took my camera out of its bag and he commented something along the lines of it being a real camera and that he felt “emasculated” - ouch!!! Not a bit of it - I’ve seen iPhone shots and “handbagcam” shots that prove it’s what you do with it that counts! We talked a bit about the project and whether Jordan liked photographing people and although he said yes it’s really urbex photography that appeals to him at the moment but as a newcomer to the art he’s still quite open-minded about what he likes.
It turns out that Jordan and I also share a passion (or curse) in that we are both avid Newcastle United fans and we talked quite a bit about that. He asked me my thoughts on the upcoming derby but we got side-tracked onto how the new signings were fitting in so I’ll put it on record that we’ll win 3-1 … you heard it here first ;). Jordan is not a season ticket holder but still gets to see about a quarter of the games a year and hopes that will increase now that he’s living back in Newcastle.
Jordan, similar to my previous stranger, is an English Lit graduate from Manchester (I think) but hasn’t quite worked out what his vocation is going to be so he’s working on a fill-in job at the moment and has recently been doing night shifts - sooner him than me!
I gave Jordan my camera to flick through the shots and he seemed to like the shots but technically I don’t think he pops out from the background enough and I reckon I missed a trick here - he was in no hurry, easy to talk to because of our shared interests and being into photography might well have been happy to entertain a little technical endeavour and I wish I’d tried using a little flash to light him whilst stopping everything down to shut out the ambient light and try and get a bit of contrast between him and the background - but this didn’t occur to me at the time and instead I was simply quite pleased that I noticed that the first couple of shots were underexposed and took the time to dial in a bit of exposure compensation (manual exposure would be way too much for me to cope with here). Of course I didn’t use those as I preferred the composition of the one posted - so photoshop to the rescue again ;).
Jordan, thanks very much for helping me with my project - it was fun talking to you.
TOON TOON!!!

AULA MAGNA |17 de Novembro de 2010, Quarta-feira | 21h30
Na Comemoração dos 100 Anos da Universidade de Lisboa, tornam-se ainda mais relevantes actividades que privilegiam o intercâmbio cultural entre países, não só para o conhecimento de culturas de outros povos, mas também para a difusão da nossa própria cultura. E, neste contexto de abertura ao exterior, não menos importante será a intensificação de parcerias entre a Universidade de Lisboa e entidades de relevo de diferente natureza, que vão do Exército Português, passando pelo Instituto Italiano de Cultura até ao Banco Santander Totta.
Consolidando e alargando os laços culturais portugueses com Itália, um país que tradicionalmente – pelo menos desde o séc. XVIII – tem proporcionado estágios e sucessos artísticos a músicos portugueses, este concerto traz a Portugal dois grandes nomes do Jazz: o Clarinetista Bepi D’AMATO e o Maestro Marco RENZI, que, em conjunto com a prestigiosa BIG-BAND do EXÉRCITO, irão apresentar um programa particularmente atraente para o grande público, designadamente clássicos do jazz americano, canções napolitanas e outros temas que se popularizaram ao longo dos anos.

Students hold portraits of school shooting victims at a March for Our Lives: Road to Change rally and candlelight vigil at Pier Plaza in Huntington Beach, California, on July 21, 2018. Speakers at the gun control event included David Hogg, who became the face of the gun control movement after surviving the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
The Re 10/10 has just arrived in Arth-Goldau. The released driver is having a quick chat, before the train will quickly accelerate on its way to Basel and further on.
While shooting the street, just down from me was this guy asking for change. I quickly got a focus while on the tripod, and set the camera for remote. I then fired a bunch of shots while not even looking at him.

CD's hang in the window of a record shop. Yancheng used to be a thriving market area of Kaohsiung close to the port and trading in duty free goods. It is now a much quieter place as business has moved out of the area and to the main shopping streets of the city. 09/12/2010, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Jarash, Jordan Oct 10 2010
In Jarash they get to work; the Environment Society is organizing a "Cleaning Campaign" as a solution to climate change and to urge politicians to pass clean energy policies.
This was one of over 7,000 climate action events taking place in in 188 countries around the world on 10/10/10 as part of “The Global Work Party.” This synchronized international event is organized by 350.org, and is expected to be the largest day of environmental activism in history.

Saving the planet one step at a time
Have you heard of climate change?
Temperatures are getting higher. Storms are getting worse. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Portions of the coast of Bangladesh are likely to go underwater, lost forever. Millions will become homeless. The ability of the earth to sustain people is threatened.
Why is climate change happening?
Because people are burning up fossil fuels (diesel, petrol, natural gas, coal) at such rapid rates that future generations are now threatened.
Is it possible to slow climate change?
Yes, but we cannot continue to waste time. Carbon dioxide levels are rising rapidly. That is where the number 350 comes in. If we can limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million then we can avoid the worst of the harm to come.
Is there anything we can do?
No one person cam stop climate change but everyone contributes something significant. We can slow out own use of fossil fuels by walking and cycling and taking cycle rickshaws rather than using motorized transport. We can reduce our use of electricity. We can avoid, as a nation, burning coal (pure carbon) or selling it to others to burn. We can encourage the government to act to encourage reductions in fuel use and to encourage walking, cycling, and rickshaws.
This will mean making some changes. Fortunately most of those changes are likely to
increase rather than reduce our quality of life. Imagine being able to cycle safely in
Dhaka. Imagine the air being fresh and clean. Imagine children and youth being able to play in side streets. If we move our focus from cars to people, from traveling long
distances to accessing basic needs close to home, we can reduce congestion and all the misery it causes, We can have more time with family and for the other important parts of life.
Remember 350 is not just a number. It is not just an ideal. It is something we can all work to make a reality.

to the left my trusty JP 80/20 bronze lights. I opted for a slightly heavier .13 phosphor bronze wound. I kinda regret that choice, but let's wait and see what happens when played in.

i love this
okay flickr buddies, i have something i would like to say
so i've had a lot of people add me as contacts recently and even a while ago that never really comment on my stuff
which i find a bit strange
i hope it's not that you wouldn't think i'd care, because i worried about that a while ago when i would add people
i love comments/favorites or just getting to meet people on flickr
promisee
anyways though, last night i couldn't really fall asleep until four
i slept till eleven though luckily
at first i felt fine but its catching up to me
i'm kind of the type of person that needs a lot of sleep
i was thinking too
i've been kind of busy lately, despite it being summer
my office/room is a mess and i haven't gotten a chance to get my stuff together
i could have, but i don't feel... hmm obligated i guess to do it
i've been listening to the most mainstream music too, which i would have been upset about before
i think i've just kind of been blocking out stuff i suppose
this week i can really relax though, and i want to really get back on track
p.s. i made diving all stars!
I was trying to capture the dark clouds setting in over the Southern Coast of Sri Lanka...quite tough cos the gloomy lighting didn't help my poor phone camera.

London's changing skyline amid the scorching heat on July 18 2013. Including the new "Cheesegrater" and "Walkie Talkie" buildings.
When I first visited this spot more than 1 year ago, I took a similar angle of this jetty. It was in rather good condition and many kids living nearby were walking and playing on it. Now the front part of it has broken and seems like no one is going to do any maintenance or repair.
Hopefully the next time I visit this place, this jetty will still be there ~
