I took this at Deer River, which goes to show that even the most gorgeous places can be home to subtle as well. Read about Deer River here on on my blog.

Take thee even or take thee odd, I would not sleep here if I could,
Except for the memories and the stillness that now resides.

The gentle depression of the ancient earthwork, Grimms Ditch, leads through the land of the beech trees. Love how those on the slope gently curve upwards making for some wonderful compositions. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.
Sometimes I just wanna shoot something scenic. Through the eye of the lens even things decayed have a natural beauty about them.

Whiteface Mountain is the fifth-highest mountain in the U.S. state of New York, and one of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Set apart from most of the other High Peaks, the summit offers a 360-degree view of the Adirondacks and clear-day glimpses of Vermont and even Canada, where the skyscrapers of Montreal, 80 miles (130 km) away, can be seen on a very clear day. Located in the town of Wilmington, about 13 miles (21 km) from Lake Placid, 175
I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I took 32 images of this composition, I achieved this photo after the 6th image and another 26 images chasing a recreation of the effect, I didn’t, I came close but no cigar. I didn’t envisage this photo before I took it, it was the result of experimentation. The composition of a single exposed rock was chosen to line up with mist muted sun radiating across the sea using a reverse ND grad. Right exposure but the shutter speed was too fast so I added a 6 stop ND filter, this slowed the shutter speed from 1/10 of a sec to 1.3 seconds with a couple of tweaks of the ISO, then hey pesto this lovely whirlpool effect around the rock, as soon the dark image flashed on the lcd I knew I had something, it was a bit different and so I found out not to be repeated. Have a nice weekend.
This can be a tough time of the year for many people.
I know the devastation that depression can do to you and your loved ones.

Last night I was at the bar. Everyone was normally drink beer. Yesterday we drank vodka, Fernet and tulamore. Tulamore no longer. Everything we drank. WHY? Lawyer, a truck driver, programmer (that's me) and random prostitute. We are all depressed! The truck driver told how to carry pipes to the city of Dachau. We increased depression and we drank and drank and drank!
During the Great Depression my mother’s parents did everything they could think of to keep their family fed and sheltered. Among other things Grandma became a dressmaker in their home and Grandpa made jewelry. My mother passed these earrings along to me before she died.

My journey around the country for my degree series took me to many places that didn't make it into the final set.
I made a couple of trips to Cowdray. One shot made it into the show but it was a toss up between this one and that. It was thought by my tutors that too much of the building was shown here and there wasn't enough mystery.
Standing by the strong light felt pretty nerve wracking. In this shot I'm looking directly at the next door houses, hoping no one looks out of their window. So much for hiding in shadow.
About the 1934 LaSalle
In the 1920’s, General Motors (GM) competed against Ford’s “one size fits all” approach by building “a car for every purse and purpose.” GM’s Cadillac had become the market leader in both prestige and price. The LaSalle, first designed in 1927 by the talented Harley Earl, was the model to fit between the Cadillac and Oldsmobile brands. Following the success of the early LaSalle, Alfred P. Sloan, head of GM, promoted Earl to head a new design office: GM’s “Art and Color Section.” However, success began to wane as the Great Depression wreaked havoc on LaSalle sales.
In 1933 the LaSalle was scheduled for termination. Earl spotted an aircraft-inspired design on the drawing board of Jules Agramonte, a member of the Art and Color team. Immediately motivated, Earl and his team redesigned the LaSalle with new Art Deco features such as the tall, narrow front grill, pontoon fenders, biplane bumpers, portholes, chevrons, and chrome accents. Earl had a full-scale mockup built, and presented it to GM executives, proclaiming, “Gentlemen, if you decide to discontinue the LaSalle, this is the car you are not going to build.” GM quickly agreed to manufacture the beautiful new LaSalle, convinced it would revive sales and add excitement to their product line.
The 1934 LaSalle shared many aspects of its build with the Oldsmobile including, straight-8 engine components, frame, and transmission. Both cars also featured new, hydraulic brakes and a revolutionary independent front suspension, which Cadillac did not yet have. The LaSalle team was tasked with reducing production costs by 1/3 — a feat they achieved by sharing parts across model lines. The LaSalle was a design masterpiece, advertised as “the newest car in the world,” and was the pace car for the 1934 Indianapolis 500. LaSalle sales doubled for 1934 and continued to grow through 1936; however, as the US began to rise from the depths of the Depression, consumer demand trended away from such cars, toward smaller, less expensive brand models. By 1940, GM had finally conceded, cancelling production of the LaSalle.
