Another one from the archives not processed before, again from early this year. I had to put in this one, the wave looks so like a toy teddy bear. February had some fairly exceptional weather with 3 named Storms for high winds and the wettest February since records began. On Saturday 29th February I again visited Newhaven to take in Storm Jorge, so named by the Spanish Met Office. Conditions were ideal with the rain having cleared earlier in the morning leaving sunshine and the winds increasing behind the front. The tides were also ideal being at 2.15. For this one I was on a high shingle beach safe from the waves and shooting with a long lens.
The wall is a breakwater for the harbour and with a serious storm massive waves come in from the SW and hit the breakwater also creating a lot of backwash and turbulence. This picture was taken about 1 and a half hours before high tide.
This picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Minolta 75-300mm zoom at 210mm. Taken handheld. No chance of a steady tripod in those conditions. The image was processed first in Camera Raw Editor. Then it was Topaz Denoise followed by Topaz Clarity and more contrast with an adjustment layer. Converted to Mono using Topaz B&W Effects.

Suresh Pattali:
Suresh Pattali, a film and theatre activist, or as Paul Zacharia, the Editor of Economic Times and his former colleague rightly stated," a film buff and libertarian"; worked as a producer in Asianet when I met him.
Suresh assisted the renowned Indian filmmaker Muzaffar Ali in making classic movies like 'Gaman' and 'Umrao Jaan' and has worked with noted singer Kishore Kumar and Popular music director Salil Choudhury. He was too humble a human being to read one's character and get close within no time.
I met him first, in 2000, at his office in the Asianet Studio complex at Puliyarakonam in Trivandrum. He was very eager to listen to my album 'Simple Truth' and knew it was in the final stage of completion. He was too busy in the studio that I waited from 4 pm to about 6 pm as he occasionally makes an appearance and apologizes for making me wait and leaves after making sure that I am comfortable. Someone would want him when he joins me, and as I was not in any hurry, I asked him to take his time. When he hastily joined me at about 6 pm, I told him that I have a rough copy of 'Simple Truth' in my car. The moment he heard that he just walked out of the studio with his hand on my shoulder. He sat beside me in the car, we closed the doors, and I played the tape.
Before the music started, he asked, "What about a ride?". I nodded, and we drove out to the nearly desolate roads in the suburbs of Trivandrum. When the music started, I noticed that he is gazing at my face. With a smile, when I turned and looked at him, he asked," You did this ?". I said "Yes", and his astonished expression is the first and best compliment I ever received. I drove aimlessly while he keenly and mutely listened to all the 12 songs in the album. Later I dropped him at his house, which is just about a kilometre away from his workplace.
The very next day, I received a call from him inviting me to his house, and I visited him sometime in the afternoon. His interest in music and his memory amazed me as he started describing how he visualized one of the songs that he heard the previous day. It was late afternoon, and he was yet to have his lunch. I understood he's drunk, but he appeared perfect and very much in his senses. I told him that I would wait until he has his lunch. Within a few minutes, he returned with an egg omelette for me. I didn't refuse as I knew he prepared it just for me. It was too salty to consume, and when I was struggling with it, he joined me munching his omelette and said, "Too much salt, right? I don't have any more eggs left, else I would have made fresh ones". After spending some time discussing the script, I left following his assurance to contact me soon. The next day he called me for further talks, and we fixed a local club for the next meeting the same evening.
He ordered a few drinks and narrated his Mumbai cinema experiences. The modesty of the Popular singer Kishore Kumar, the friendliness of the great musician Salil Chowdhury, and the simplicity of the renowned actress Smita Patil. The humbleness of Kishore Kumar during recordings and the prowess of Salil Chowdhury to compose 'boatman' songs.
He respected and appreciated me for being a teetotaller, and never did he behave drunk with me. I reminded him that it's getting too late and offered to drop him at his house. On the way back, he asked, "Anuj, which is your most favourite song? ". I replied that it's a tough question as I have so many favourites." My favourite English song is, 'Still I'm Sad' by Boney M", he said. After a pause, he continued, "Do you know ' Chingari Koi Bhadke '?". I said, "Yes, I love that song." He asked, "Can you sing it ? "and I replied, " Sorry, I have never tried it". Again after a pause, he said, "Please hum it ". I hummed the tune in its original pitch, and he started singing along in a feeble voice. I drove listening to his rendition, which was indeed beautiful. He remained quiet after that, and I dropped him home at about midnight.
Within a few days, he invited me to judge a talent search programme conducted by Asianet for college students, named 'Talent Scan 2000'. I accepted the request and appeared for the programme at Victoria Jubilee Town Hall on the stipulated date and time. He introduced me to the crew, and my role was to judge Western Music. After the programme, he thanked me and promised to be in touch.
He called me after a few days and asked me whether we shall meet sometime in the evening. I agreed, and he said he would call later to fix the venue and time. He called again in the evening to tell me that he's having one of his old friends along with him and asked whether it's fine with me. I said it's all right, and I invited him to one of the most prestigious clubs in town, where I have a membership. I booked a table on the lawn and waited for him.
He had few drinks like earlier, but his friend started gulping like a thirsty cow, loudly declared that he's a Maoist, and proudly started to swank his profanity proficiency. While Suresh commanded him to behave, in an attempt to move his chair backwards, the dhoti-clad Maoist fell aback bare, along with his chair. The waiters on duty are used to such displays, but they appeared shocked as they never expected such guests with me. I asked Suresh whether we shall leave. I have never seen him angry, and he didn't lose his cool even when his friend irritated him. He said we would move, but his friend refused to come. I thought of seeking help from the waiters and security to carry him to the car.
Finally, he agreed to move when Suresh 'promised' to take him to some distinct wine bar.
I was a bit apprehensive whether he would attempt to jump out of the moving car as we proceeded towards the hotel where he stays. Once we reached the hotel, he refused to get off the car. Suresh somehow managed to pull him out, and on the street, he loudly started to demonstrate his imprecation skills. I saw Suresh with a grim face for the first time, but still, he didn't lose his cool. Swiftly, he hopped into the car and signalled me to accelerate fast. I did that, and his friend was staggering from behind, trying to chase us as we sped away. Suresh didn't utter a word after that. I dropped him home, and though he didn't apologize, I could see that apologetic look in his weary eyes when he bid me goodbye.
I phoned him early in the morning to check whether his friend is all right. He told me that his friend was nabbed by the police the previous night, and he has to get him released.
I asked him to relax and promised to call him in the evening.
I called him in the evening, and an unfamiliar voice picked up the call.
I asked, " Suresh, Is that you? ".
The stranger from the other end replied, " Suresh passed away. He vomited blood, and we took him to the hospital but couldn't save him".
"माझी जो नाव डुबोए
उसे कौन बचाये"
("If the boatman drowns the boat, who can save it ?")

Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans), native to the eastern United States, its magnificent flowers never fail to attract Hummingbirds. This image was taken with a 21-year-old, 3 Megapixel DSLR camera, the Canon D30. Was the first Canon-made digital SLR. Very impressed by the resolution, colors, and exposure latitude. The JPG is soft but the raw files are fantastic. For example, I underexpose this shot by almost 2 stops, and the editor was able to recover the exposure with no noise. I have been using this camera for only two days, and already love it.
(Spanish): Una flor nativa del este y norte de EU, que atrae mucho a los colibrí o chuparrosas. Esta foto la tome con la Canon D30. La primera cámara DSLR hecha completamente por Canon. Solo tiene 3 megapixeles pero su calidad de imagen es estupenda. Por ejemplo esta foto por error la expuse 2 pasos por debajo de lo correcto. Creía que no lograría rescatarla, y fácilmente en el editor pude recuperar la exposición sin ruido).

i used to work in a photo agency on the corner of 57th and madison, before everyone got too embarrassed to be uptown. i rode the elevator every morning with the editor of mad magazine, who wore a rope for a belt (brancusi already knows this). sometimes i really miss the rituals of 9 to 5. especially the coffee wagon; there's nothing like a danish in cellophane.

No Woman, No Cry
Bob Marley & The Wailers
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
And then georgie would make the fire lights
I seh, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on thru,
Oh, while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
I seh little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry.

Florida’s 1920s Land Boom brought in a torrent of tax revenues to local governments – much of which was spent building or improving municipal infrastructure, including streets, courthouses and city halls.
In Charlotte County, formed in 1921 (the same year as Sarasota County), county seat Punta Gorda replaced its old City Hall with a new one in 1927. While Dwight James Baum went Mediterranean Revival with his 1927 Sarasota County Courthouse design, architect J.A. Stamm relied on classical elements, such as fluted Corinthian columns and an entablature that is right out of the Greek pattern book for his Punta Gorda landmark.
The stately building inspired pride and confidence in city government, even though the Florida Land Boom had already gone bust by the time the front doors opened for the first time. The people crossing the threshold were not bringing a lot of money inside.
The city got more use out of the building than just office space. The back of the structure contained a two-bay fire station. At one time, the volunteer firefighters were called to service by horn blasts from the ice house several blocks away. The coded blasts told firefighters the general location of the fire. Then they looked for the smoke.
The building was enlarged in 1978. In 1991, the laid-back city of 17,000 built the City Hall Annex around the corner on Harvey Street, elevated above flood stage, where one can walk right in and pay a water bill with nary a wait. At the base of the stairs, a 2001 mural by Charles Peck commemorates the first city council in the 1880s.
City Hall is on the western edge of downtown Punta Gorda, serving as something of an entrance to the residential National Register Historic District, where century-old homes are commonplace.
“Florida Buildings I Love” is based on a 2016 online series. Harold has prepared a PowerPoint slideshow that he presents to civic groups (hfbubil@me.com).

The backstory to my Tribute/The End photo is that Audra and Leslie have been inundated with entries for the final round of the Challenge and overwhelmed by work (while also busily preparing to leave for Convention) they call in some extra help in the form of junior picture editor Erin. Erin works for a high end fashion magazine and is also a would-be fashion photographer. Erin is so impressed with the quality of the entries that she shows them to her Editor-In-Chief who wants to publish them in the fashion magazine! In these photos Erin is wistfully looking forward to the possibility of another A-Z Challenge in the future in which she hopes to participate...
My special thanks to Jade, Michal O. Patrizia (SineVoce) and Amelia M for the use of their photos (though it was a surprise what I was using them for!)
I wouldn't find out this article until friend of mine sent the screen shot of Digital SLR Photography February Edition. wow, I don't know how and why the editor picked me. As landscape photography just a hobby and a way to recharge from my daily stressful life, I am flattered.
