strobist info: light from an off shoe flash reflected on an umbrella hold by ghosts.
Started off in a place called Devils Dyke where I stepped in a ton of dog shit, then off to a pub in harpenden where i stunk out the place and round the streets. All in all a good time was had!
The first popsie I found was a devil similar to this one, which says "welcome". I paid $1.99 in a Salvation Army thrift store, of all places for that first devil, and it wasn't until seven years later that I learned that it was called a "popsie" and that there were a couple hundred other models.
LATER, i FOUND THIS ONE, WHICH STILL HAD ITS PITCHFORK
"I wanna be a billionaire so frickin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen..." ~Travis McCoy / Bruno Mars
Today, I play the Devil's Advocate. My parents always told me that "it's vulgar to talk about money"... but what the heck, apparently, it makes the world go around, so I'm gonna take a crack at it...LOL.
Isn't it funny how people hate talking about money, but in our Capitalist Western culture it's hated, but needed? Such a strange paradox... I've never met anyone who has never thought about what they would do if they won the lottery or if they found a suitcase filled with unmarked bills that no one takes claim to...
What would you do with 1 million dollars? :o)
Whether we admit to it or not, people have a tendency to base some of their life decisions on their financial stability... We spend 25years paying for a house, force ourselves out of bed every morning to spend 8 hours a day with an idiotic boss, just so we can earn a "living" (money)... Gone were the simple days of bartering, I give you 1 sack of rice for 2 chickens... On days like this, I wonder who invented the concept of money and thanks to money-powered Google, I got my answer : the history of money
I learned that money is a good servant but a bad master. If we look at everything closely, it becomes even more apparent that we live in a sad world.
According to UNICEF 24,000 children die each day due to poverty. 1.4 BILLION people live on less than $2 a day. Statistics paint a bleak picture of the world and humanity in general. How can so many people be "billionaires", heirs or grace Forbes magazine yearly, yet BILLIONS are still impoverished?
There's a campaign called Live Below the Line started by Young Australian of the year Nick Allardice. The campaign challenges people to live with $2 a day or donate to those less fortunate.
One of my favorite documentaries is Born into Brothels. About a woman who goes to the red light district of Calcutta and gives 8 kids cameras to document the world around them. Beauty is everywhere, money may be needed, but life offers so much more.
Devil's Gap is a Natural Pass through which the Northern Extensions Railway was built in 1875. To-day this natural rock-cut still in use by the CNR, can be seen from looking west from Highway 11, just south of the Muskoka Store, about 5 kilometers south of Gravenhurst.
The Tasmanian Devil is endemic to Tasmania [Australia] and the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) has had a devasting impact on their population.

Coventry's Cathedral is a unique synthesis of old a new, born of wartime suffering and forged in the spirit of postwar optimism, famous for it's history and for being the most radically modern of Anglican cathedrals. Two cathedral's stand side by side, the ruins of the medieval building, destroyed by incendiary bombs in 1940 and the bold new building designed by Basil Spence and opened in 1962.
The exterior is adorned with Jacob Epstein's triumphant bronze figures of Archangel Michael (patron of the cathedral) vanquishing the Devil.
The Devil's Chimney is a limestone rock formation that stands above a disused quarry on Leckhampton Hill, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
It is named for its peculiar shape, that of a crooked and twisted chimney rising from the ground. It is a local landmark, but its origins are uncertain. In 1926 it survived an earthquake, but not without a few cracks. In 1985 it was repaired and protected from further erosion.
Legend holds that the Devil's Chimney is the chimney of the Devil's dwelling deep beneath the ground. Supposedly the Devil, provoked by the many Christian churches of the area, would sit atop Leckhampton Hill and hurl stones at Sunday churchgoers. However the stones were turned back on him, driving him beneath the ground and trapping him there so he could not further harass the villagers. Now he uses the mass of stones as his chimney to let free the smokes of hell.
In the past, when the “chimney” was accessible, visitors would leave a coin on top of the rock as payment to the Devil in exchange for his staying in his underground home and not leaving to create mischief and spread evil in the local area.
The 19th-century geologist S. Buckman suggested that the strange shape of the Devil's Chimney could be put down to differential erosion, involving the softer outer rock being worn away to leave only the inner harder rock remaining. However, this would require some explanation of why there was a column of harder rock there in the first place.
The truth is probably that the Devil's Chimney was left behind by 18th-century quarry workers, who quarried around it as a joke.

Here are the raw inks for my Devil Dinosaur piece.
I'm not too sure on how the Volcano and smoke trail are treating the overall composition. There is a goddam volcano in every DD background so I figured it would be a crime to not include one.
The smoke may have to be simplified in order to not distract to much from the serene moment between DD and Moon-boy. We'll see.
I'm often surprised by how an awkward composition can be take on a completely different feel once you've colored it.

Devil's Pulpit is a quartzite column separated by the greater quartzite ledges of Monument Mountain in Great Barrington. Rich with history and lore, Monument Mountain has inspired the likes of Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and William Cullen Bryant. Bryant's famed poem "Monument Mountain" tells the story of a Mohican woman who was memorialized by the 100+ foot spire after leaping from the adjacent cliffs.
The Trustees of Reservations has owned this site since 1899.

The Devil's Beef Tub is a large, natural depression at the head of Annandale. It acquired its name as it was a place where the Borders reivers used to hide their stolen cattle.
From the Black Hills Photo Shootout 2012. My first photo workshop. Beautiful, cool still morning with great skies. Clouds cleared up not much later and the afternoon was quite warm.
A train I had to shoot in the Guild's Lake Rail Yard. A bit hard to get a good shot because it was sandwiched by cars on either side. Sick writing!
