Klaipeda 2017, processed 2020

Spring has officially come to Utah!

Taken with further practice on an Olympus Tough TG-6.

While I certainly wouldn't trade in my DSLR for the "grand" landscapes I seriously prefer shooting the most, there have been gaps in my ability to do photography I've been meaning to fill. Having a durable point and shoot I can practically carry on a trail run is one example. Also, anyone who has followed me for some time knows I sometimes travel in challenging terrain where a heavy, bulky camera could be dangerous under certain conditions. Finally, I have wanted to respond a little more quickly at times to wildlife, though granted that isn't usually my top emphasis. But hey: When it's good it's good! ;-) I'm learning a bit about this right now, and just having some fun too... This time of year it feels like all sorts of opportunities are ahead. I could do anything anytime!

Boiler controls and hot water tank going in before the cupboard for them is made and electric sockets and flooring etc coming out. A spare bedroom days before seen during the conversion to a bathroom.

Salt ponds back into wetlands. Newark, California.

Meccano conversion sets started life as 'A' sets but later became 'X'.

It was a great idea. Someone bought you (say) a set 3 for your birthday and you could buy a set 3X to make up a set 4 and so on until you had the dream of every Meccano child - the set 10.

As soon as I saw this image, the idea of black/white popped quickly into my head. So here it is out of my head. For those colorists, the original is in comments. So easy to change anything nowadays, no?

Everyone knows that I am well known for being on the front lines of fashion. Alas, I must confess to having dallied in my BOM-conversion, but today I started on the revolutionary change.

This picture was taken yesterday for historic purposes.

Conversion. Recycle Group. Evento collaterale.

Andrey Blokhin e Georgy Kuznetsov,( Krasnodar, Russia) realizzano Conversion , che è un progetto site specific allestito nella chiesa di Sant’Antonin, in Venezia.

L’immaginario, la dimensione estetica e parte dell’iconografia, scelta dagli artisti per l’opera, fanno riferimento a temi religiosi di un passato, probabilmente rinascimentale.

L’effetto è molto interessante: entrando nella chiesa sembra di avere a che fare con un restauro in atto ( effetto attribuibile alle impalcature ) e contemporaneamente con l’olografica presenza di fantasmi, dovuta a la rete plastica che struttura l’opera.

Il tema centrale, che tratta con ironia della nuova fede tecnologica rivolta all’uso della rete (e segnatamente di facebook), è un po’ trito e rischia di rendere banale un lavoro formalmente molto suggestivo

Did you enjoy the snow? I know it can be frustrating being around this much snow but it can also be very interesting. We spent last few days running around chasing snow and I got exhausted, so much that I needed 2 days to get back in the mood to edit some of these images. What do you think?

Fall River slowly converts solid water into liquid water.

Thanks for the visit and have a nice weekend

This was taken on a visit to the NYM Railway Steam Gala in Sept

The out building at this old farm on the fells above Grosmont on the North Yorkshire Moors has been converted into a dwelling.

The old roller would be use for rolling grass and hidden in the vegetation I believe is a drag for spreading mole hills

Old warehouses on The River Neckinger, now just a short inlet from The Thames in Bermondsey, which have been converted to luxury apartments. The cranes have been restored to indicate these buildings original purpose.

The name of the river is believed to derive from 'The Devil's Neckcloth'. A slang name for a hangman's noose as this was an execution site for pirates etc in the 17th century.

464 Broome Street was originally constructed in 1860 by Aaron Arnold,the wealthy New York merchant responsible for founding one of America’s oldest department stores, Arnold Constable & Company,which was located just two blocks away on Canal Street.462 &464 Broome Street were converted together to co-operative lofts in the early 1980s and now consist of 8 full floor residential lofts and 2 commercial retail spaces.

This boutique double building co-op is pet friendly and features a full-time super who receives deliveries,key-locked elevators for each building,a central water purification system,central steam heat, video-intercom, common roof deck,basement storage and meeting room.This unique and special property has $0 monthly maintenance and strong financials due to common ownership of its two market rate retail stores!

A few of the old, I assume MOD buildings at Dungeness have been converted into homes this being one of them. It has a nice view of the sea and the nuclear power station!

On this 1971 Mini, It was a real eye-opener at a Vintage Show at Driffield in East Yorkshire,

An eastbound Norfolk Southern manifest passes an small farmstead near Myerstown, Pennsylvania. DC-to-AC conversions of EMD and GE origins lead the train.

This image was taken at Ogwen Valley, Looking out from Cwm Idwal to Pen yr Ole Wen. When I took this image, I knew it had the possibility of being a black and white, more so that colour as the patches of blue sky were quite strong. One of the aspects of black and white photography I love is being able to get that blue sky, jet black.

Sun and wind.

Oldsmobile Toronado RV conversion, photographed at a ploughing match near Georgetown, Ontario on Saturday, September 28th, 1974.

Nick, a friend of many years, runs a fishing holiday business in a South Devon village.

He has just purchased a disused chapel next to his house and made a magnificent job of converting it into a fishing lodge. This is the living/dining area . Quite stunning!!
