Nice water effect when this Corsair A332 slowed with it's engine's referese thruster petals deployed
Practicing the droste effect although the final product is only as good as the original image you work with... Truth be told I didn't use the best image for this but its just practice.

I wish I had gotten the rest of the boxer on the left, but the blurs make this kind of a cool picture
A phenom if ever there was one, Maurice Brown had people buzzing about his chops while he was still attending Hillcrest High School in Country Club Hills. In short order, he won a full music scholarship to Northern Illinois University, took top prize in the Miles Davis Trumpet Competition and established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the Chicago music scene. He was featured on recordings by Ernest Dawkins’ New Horizons Ensemble and Fred Anderson.
In equally short order, it seemed, he was gone. After studying with Louisiana legend Alvin Batiste at Southern University in Baton Rouge, he asserted himself in New Orleans, where he mixed it up with top local players, scored a weekly gig at the Snug Harbor jazz club and recorded his first album, Hip to Bop. Think of hard bop monsters Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan dipping into contemporary grooves, personalizing the sound with “wah wah” effects and such, and you’ll have a hint of what a blast of fresh air Brown was.
The next leg of his journey was set in motion by Hurricane Katrina, which he escaped with little more than his horn and his laptop. As captured in the documentary, Brass Movement: A Modern Love Story, he landed on his feet, and then some, in New York, where his talents were demanded by such artists as Aretha Franklin, Roy Hargrove, Talib Kweli, Diddy, Cee-Lo Green and rising Irish soul singer Laura Izibor. Whatever he’s playing, he creates instant excitement. A group with its own strong personality, the Maurice Brown Effect includes New Orleans saxophonist Derek Douget, pianist (and Chicago native) Chris Rob, bassist Solomon Dorsey and drummer Joe Blaxx.

Maurice Brown Effect

Got a tip to start small with only one flash when practising flash photography.
For key light I used a 90x60 cm softbox which worked great for making the light very soft.
For fill light I used a white reflector which eliminated the the need of a 2nd flash.
Shot was taken at 1/4000 s to completely darken the otherwise busy living room background.
18 mm focal length was used to get the wide angle perspective and almost comical look of the shot.

The bridge over the moat (the longest moat in Britain) at Michelham Priory reminded me of Monet's painting of his garden.

www.axe-effect.co.za/products#/AdrenalineBodySpray | Getting fired was a lot worse in the olden days. Back then, they also didn’t have AXE deodorant, which means that picking up women was a lot more difficult. All things considered, we are a lot better off now than we were. I mean, having your house burned down is one thing but no AXE? That’s just cruel!
