Moby Dick was the white Sperm Whale in Herman Melville's novel, but this is an unusually pale Southern Bottlenose Whale (Hyperoodon planifrons). Southern Bottlenose is large for a beaked whale, growing up to 7.5m. It has a distinctive melon at the front of the head which I did manage to photograph, but that photo didn't show the back as well. They inhabit deep Antarctic waters and dive incredibly deep in search of squid and occasional fish. They hunt at depths of up to 1km where it is totally dark so they use the melon to direct sounds in order to echo-locate their prey, rather like bats do. They spend little time at the surface so seeing one is rare, let alone photographing one, though they are sociable occurring in small groups. They have been recorded diving for up to two hours, though typically their dives are shorter. I photographed this one, which was part of a group, at sea between Falklands and South Georgia.

Dick Murphy Park on Tyee Spit behind the Discovery Harbour Shopping Centre in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada, is a pleasant place to stroll.
I thought it might be time to throw in some colour, but I always get quite anxious about it! Still, I've got a good shadow to keep me company and help me feel at home...
And for those who don't get into these things, turn away now as there will be no more here about this here shot, but rather I am accepting Nina's www.flickr.com/photos/21560098@N06 challenge to keep talking about myself. I have to admit, it kinda makes me feel a bit of a dick, but I'm sure I'm just being silly. Hopefully.
1. Needless to say after that, but I can get quite anxious over how people will take my meaning, if you take my meaning. Now, this is only the case if I like or respect you. If I don't know you, don't like you or think you're a dead shit, then who gives a brass razoo what you think, but if I like you etc, then I worry about shitting you off. But usually I'm quite good at turning the worry off, or at last ignoring it!!
2. In repose I can look really stern, but at the same time I smile so much that the crows feet on either side of my eyes have been mini valleys since I was in my late teens!
3. I love a good midnight boogie in the back garden with my ipod.
4. Half my family are musicians, as are a large number of my friends, but I've never had the patience or courage to learn anything. But I've started to realise I can sing a bit. That's fun, although I've yet to subject anyone to it much!
5. I worked in bookshops for about 8 years and have always had a real thing for books. I have over 5000 of the buggers and they cover every available (spare) surface in our living room. As well as the five bookcases and the picture rail running around the room. Although I haven't read many books this past year and a half as my reading has been almost entirely online and related to various projects and work, books have been my salvation, temptation, inspiration and balm for many years and I'm sure they will continue to be so.
Here is Dick Armey in a nice looking pair cowboy boots. Seeing those worn soles coupled with that nice smile makes this, to me, a pretty good photo!
Signage at the Edmonds Dick’s. This is where many Seattleites go for fast food after midnight.

Blue Dicks Flowers. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
A cluster of spring blue dicks blossoms.
These beautiful – but oddly-named — wildflowers are all over the place in the San Francisco Bay Area during the spring months. They first appear during that magical period when the tall grasses are intensely green from winter rains, and then they stick around as the hills begin to turn brown or, as we like to say in California, “golden.” While I see these flowers every season, this was a banner year for them.
I often find individual blossoms or small groups blooming at the end of long, swaying stems. I like to photograph them from the side, often with some appropriate foliage background. But this group was so large and positioned low enough that I could photograph straight down into this nature bouquet, with its flowers in varying shades of blue and splayed out in all directions.

I first started photographing graffiti in 1999, and in 2000 I setup a website to share my photos. Initially a mix of different subjects, but it soon became almost entirely of graffiti. I uploaded over 6000 photos to this site. Eventually Flickr came along a few years later and I started using that instead, and stopped updating the website. I shut it down completely a few years ago.
I occasionally get requests from people for photos of pieces by specific graffiti writers, and I thought it might be a good idea to upload them all to Flickr.
Most of these photos were taken on film, scanned, and saved at a small size, back in the day when people were still using 56k modems to connect to the internet and small filesizes were desirable. So apologies for the quality and size for some of these. Someday I'd like to get them all scanned in again at a higher resolution.
Like my photos? Buy me a coffee!
Diamond Dick Tanner (1869 - 1943) was a Nebraska native and Wild West traveling shows participant known for his outstanding marksmanship. He first became famous for his horseback ride from Norfolk, Nebraska to New York City and back in 1893. He was a performer in Wild West shows from 1895 to 1905 after which time he went to medical school and became a licensed medical doctor in Nebraska. He began to refer to himself again in 1925 by his performing name of Diamond Dick. Another man using the same name claimed that Tanner was an imposter, but he proved his background as a performer and marksman, and this appears to have given him a second period of celebrity fame. This appears to be a later copy from an earlier photo of Diamond Dick.
