I walk in solitude the first day
Entry into what appears an innocuous Eden
My hands trembling at my sides
Then clenched into fists as I first glimpse
The waters edge
I feel a rushing dizziness wrap 'round me
As if the water were a metaphor for everything.
Safety.
Danger.
Drowning.
Floating.
Weeping.
I've only come to the edge
And not yet stepped foot inside
And I wonder if I have the courage
To be fearless.
Bibury is one of the most photographed locations in England and said to be perhaps the most beautiful village of all. Certainly it's always full of tourists! The hotel here is a fine old building and remarkably unchanged over the centuries. Perhaps less well known is that it was once also a petrol station, in the pre-war era it was quite common for hotels to have their own mini filling station and this place was no exception. Below you can see it as it was once back in the 1930s.

Technicians and engineers with Exploration Ground Systems at the NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida recently tested the Crew Access Arm (CAA) that was added on the mobile launcher being prepared to support the agency’s Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket. The crucial test confirmed the functionality and integrity of the CAA. The CAA is designed to rotate from its retracted position and line up with Orion's crew hatch. The arm will provide entry and emergency egress for astronauts and technicians into and out of the Orion spacecraft.

Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.
At long last here are vintage photos of the house where most of my Kodachrome slides came from! When I attended the estate sale, the house still looked so much as it did in these photos!
Before and after shots are to come! Plus more of the interior and exterior. Stay tuned.
House built in 1958.
so these are my entries to Blueinfrno's contest I work really hard on these so lets get to it
Captain Falcon : He is my smash main so I had to make him in lego i used the a Star Wars pilot helmet for him because i thought it would look good on him and the falcon symbol and the added yellow line on the helmet is painted by me,the scarf on him is a piece of paper cut down to a shape of a scarf and it turned out great and the gun on his leg was a Lego Star Wars long blaster and I cutted it down to the size in the game and i also painted some greem to look like the holster for the gun and continued a green line on the legs and to make him taller I added a one by one tile on the bottem of his feet and the head was a clone trooper head but I painted the visor there so now it looks like Captain Falcon
Link : now link is not a simple figure he has painted anime eyes painted on him he also has a painted hylien Shield anda triforse in the middle of it I will post a pic of it after this, he also uses a santa hat painted in the color green and the brown strap goes all the way around so thats awesome and he has some gold details on it. the legs have alot of detail on them like the dirty effect they have and the dark brown at the bottom and the cool part is that the legs can still move even when completely paintedand and the arms have Brickforge van braces painted brown to look like it in the game so that is it for the hero of time Link
Kirby : Now the design for kirby was gemjim's not mine but I did use it on mine and it is a very good design.Now kirby is a simple figure he does not have alot of detail so it was fairly easy to make the little guy so the for thing I did was glued all the parts to form kirby's body then for the arms are just lego studs painted pink like everything else on the figure except for the boots those are one by one tiles painted red to make it look like his feet in the game. the only hard part was the eyes but looking at pictures of kirby I managed to do it and it turned out great.
so there is my contest entries for blueinfrno's contest :D
Here is an abadoned Randall Park Mall entrance on the west side of the old mall. This has been closed since 2009 when the mall closed.
The Randall Park Mall was opened in 1976 and was briefly the largest shopping center in the world, topping in at 2 million square feet. JCPenney, Horne's, Sears, May Company, and Higbee's were the original anchor stores. Sadly, the mall had a decline which led to its closure in 2009. Burlington Coat Factory (former Horne's) is the only "anchor" at the site. The Power Sport institute and a furniture liquidation center are the only other remaining businesses here. The rest of the mall has been left to rot. I wish I could get to go inside of this mall for pictures especially since it is planned to be demolished for an industrial park soon.

My entry for the 2018 SHIPtember building event. Truth be told I'm not overly happy with it, but at least I finished it (in the nick of time). I built it as I went along, and for something this big it is a bit of a mistake. As it is I think it is quite a boring shape, and could have been more interesting that just an oversized dart but hey-ho. If the madness grabs me again next year, I'll plan much more thoroughly.

It was wonderful to give another talk at The School of Life earlier this month. Many thanks to Nick Turpin and the participants of the Photographing London weekend workshop for a really inspirational afternoon.
I am impressed at the quality of work at these sessions. Once again it's a real lesson for me in setting oneself parameters or a challenge. Inevitably I search for a metaphor in these instances and the mental and physical effort required is certainly of Olympian proportions.
Two marvellous images are worth noting from Laura Fitzpatrick and Tony White. Each in their own way exemplify for me the essence of street photography.
Tony's image, and style now I'm glad to have discovered more of his work, has a real warmth and a resonance with the sensitivity of Tony Ray-Jones. There's certainly an undefinable Englishness to this picture which is a joy.
In contrast Laura's photograph at the foot of Nelson's Column is a tour de force of geometry and timing. It feels so perfect that it ironically touches on contemporary practices of digital manipulation and staged flash mobs, even though the image is entirely of the moment, taken as found with no intervention other than being in the right place at the right time and having the presence of mind to take the picture.
Easy, eh?
The Best Street Photograph Ever
www.sevensevennine.com/?page_id=2580&bwbps_page_2=4
Although we may all have favourite Street Photographers they may not always be the author of our favourite Street Photograph.
It might be a revealing exercise to suggest and vote up or down single Street Photographs to see which images bubble to the top and which images fall to the bottom.
In this way we might get a sense of the popular opinion on what qualities might be inherent in ‘The Best Street Photograph Ever’.
This is a bit of fun but at very least it should make for the creation of a fascinating collection of Street Photographs.
Please feel free to take part, vote images up or down and upload those you think should be included from any era and any Street Photographer.
Images will be removed that don’t fall into a loose definition of a Street Photograph
Something different from me today.
I spotted this no-entry sign in Seahouses and it's striking graphic quality grabbed me. I thought it would be fun to upload this as it's so graphic and striking.
The weathered broken wood and peeling paint have a strange visual appeal.
If you would like to use this image in a publication or for any commercial use please click here to contact me. Or send an email via Flickr mail. Thank you.
