The film ends with Helen Mirren racing to Queen street station in her Fiat Uno to catch Vic before his train leaves. Thanks has to go to the station worker who looked like he was about to throw me out but listened while I explained my daft film location obsession then let me wander the platform without a ticket.

Vic's flat in the film was on Fergus Drive, just off Queen Margaret drive in the West end.

Olympus calls it Release/ Drive modes. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 can be set for single frame (one shutter release when the button is pushed), Sequential Shooting H (bursts up to 9 frames per second), or Sequential Shooting L (bursts up to 4 frames per second). I have mine set for up to 4 frames per second.

 

I usually shoot short bursts for two reasons:

1. Occasionally, with three or four "identical" images, one may be a teeny bit sharper than the other. At least that's how it was with my Nikon D90.

2. One can sometimes get micro gestures from a subject that are fleeting, and easily missed when only one frame is captured.

 

And, so it was with Heavenly (yes, that's her name). At about 10:45AM, I saw Heavenly setting up outdoor tables at McCabes Irish Pub and Grill, in Naples, FL. There were no customers, so I presumed that she might afford me a few moments of her time, but certainly no more. When I approached her, she was friendly and agreeable. Perhaps she thought that I might later eat there (I didn't). She was from Rhode Island, and recently had moved to Naples. She thinks that south Florida is..., well, Heavenly.

 

As usual, I shot a few quick bursts of three or four images. At first I got a smile with teeth that seemed a little too cheesy for my taste. So I asked her to just "be herself", and wiped my hand over my face, from top to bottom, leaving a deadpan expression. This worked. The final burst of three I liked. Numbers one and three of that burst comprise this diptych. Notice the change in expression. The image in the right has more of a hint of a smile. And I can see it in the eyes (in comments). I prefer this image – a subtle "eye" smile that is a bit ambiguous.

 

The point is this; checking the metadata, these images were captured in the same second. This change in micro gesture occurred in less than a second. One shot only, or a camera that refreshes slowly, and this gesture is lost.

 

Thank you, Heavenly, for allowing me to photograph you for the 100 Strangers flickr group.

"With prayer and good intentions, we make our lives sacred and come into balance." --Don Jose Matsua, HUICHOL SIERRA MADRE MEXICO

 

Only through prayer can we make spiritual changes that are permanent. You have told us that all life is sacred. Today I intend to serve you, my Creator. Allow me to overcome temptation, and if one comes along, let me see the lessons that will give balance. You have told us that all life is sacred. Let me see today with a sacred eye. Let me see beauty in all things. My Creator, let me know what You would have me be today. Let my intentions be honest, respectful, humble, and loving.

  

{Verse 1}

When you feel so close to some resolve,

You write the words that you're writing for,

But your courage gets dissolved,

Into what, I don't know.

 

{Hook}

When you feel that way again,

You have to stop your thinking,

And think of what you're here for,

And let the rest of your feelings go.

 

{Chorus}

And you've got to find your balance,

You've got to realize,

You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes, oh.

And if you find you've fallen,

And all your grace is gone,

Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on, ooh.

 

When you feel so close to some resolve,

You say the things that you're standing for,

Don't let your courage get dissolved,

'Cause it's then that the fear grows,

 

{Chorus}

And you've got to find your balance,

You've got to realize,

You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes, oh.

And if you find you're fallin',

And all your grace is gone,

Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on, ooh.

Woah, woah.

 

Just give me the word and I will be there,

Just tell me the words that I've been living for,

Just tell me the things that I've been fighting for,

It's do or die, this is either or,

Just give me the word and I will be there. [x2]

 

{Chorus}

You've got to find your balance,

You have to realize,

You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes, oh.

And if you find you're fallin',

And all your grace is gone,

Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on.

 

You've got to find your balance,

You've got to realize,

You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes, oh.

And if you find you're fallin',

And all your grace is gone,

Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on, ooh.

I took a few shots of just the clouds - the glow, the shadow and the effect looked amazing.

These photos, Heavenly sky 1 through 16, were all taken the same afternoon / early evening in July, 2005. It was indeed a "heavenly" show. All fifteen photos are farmland in southeastern Michigan between Ann Arbor and Jackson.

 

When I was a child, my dad hired the owner of this farm to come and combine our oats and wheat with his combine, because we didn't have one of those expensive farm implements.

Flickr Pro expires tomorrow, and I'm probably not going to renew it. Visit my Facebook page if you're interested in following my work--I post many more on there than I do here, despite the lack of quality.

 

On a side note, if anyone wants to help me set up a website in MySQL, I'd be super grateful and I'd send you prints of your choosing! :]

The hospital Vic visits for his results is the Western Infirmary on Dunbarton road. This is the second hospital location in this project that is now under demolition.

* Bullseye * ~ song lyrics Aly & AJ

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SL-abDHcQE

 

Everybody's trying to get to me

Every guy is all for the kill

I'm the type of girl worth pursuing

But I won't be caught standing still,I won't

You're blowing all of your attention on me

Take your best shot I bet you'll miss

You got me interested enough to stand closer

Maybe try a little, kiss

 

You hit the bullseye, baby

(You hit the bullseye, baby)

Now I'm into you crazy

(You know ya hit the mark)

Don't know how you got me started

(I'm not an easy target, HIT IT!)

(You hit the bullseye)

You hit my heart

 

I'm surprised the way you affect me

Like an arrow penetrating my heart

Naturally you seem to just get me

So obviously you're pretty smart

HA HA HA!

I like the way you're all dressed up, messed up

I like the way you don't care

I wasn't certain that you'd ring my bell but

Then you whispered in my ear

 

You hit the bullseye, baby

(You hit the bullseye, baby)

Now I'm into you crazy

(You know you hit the mark)

Don't know how you got me started

(I'm not an easy target, HIT IT!)

(You hit the bullseye)

You hit my heart

 

You hit my heart (heart, heart)

You didn't ask me for my number?

Wait, you didn't ask me for my number?

Hmm I like the fact that you didn't ask that

Cause you already got my number, huh

 

You hit the bullseye, baby

(You hit the bullseye, baby)

Now I'm into you crazy

(You know you hit the mark)

Don't know how you got me started

(I'm not an easy target, HIT IT!)

(You hit the bullseye)

(You hit the bullseye)

(You hit the bullseye)

You hit my heart

 

sweet glory upon us this heavenly day....

we dwell in this heavenly land & seek...

our heavenly destiny is 2 live in peacefulness...

along da way we stumble...

but we r not heavenly alone...

as we rise above our sorrows...

reaching out & touching a heavenly heart...

along our long journey...

sometimes we leave an imprint behind...

which cannot be erased..

yet many try...

4 we r all 1 heavenly being...

destined 2 meet in da end..

nooo matter how twisted my life's road...

heavenly grace from above helps carry da load...

i only hope 2 have left behind heavenly goodness....

and da world will remember me...

as 1 who served wit heavenly kindness.

wishing u a heavenly day....

*the grace* song lyrics by neverending white light's

www.youtube.com/watch?v=My0FyN72Phc

 

In better days I've been known to listen

I go to waste all my time is missing

 

I'm mapping out my ending,

it's never gonna happen now

These things are condescending

with everybody backing down

 

You pray to stars that can help you get by

And all at once you forget to try

 

I'd go there if you let me,

they're never gonna find me now

My life is always empty

and in and out of doubt

 

You're not coming back for me, these things they will never be

I'm so used to being wrong, so put me where I belong

 

I'll get back to you,

God knows I try,

but I still lose

And I get back to you,

these days run by,

but I still lose

 

Angels say they can make you suffer

They give and take like a vicious lover

 

When all this loses meaning,

You'll never want it back somehow

Awake but still I'm dreaming

And never waking up

 

Alone...Where I'm not alone

A long shutter exposure inside the house on a cloudy day gave this heavenly look. It's amazing how a control on the shutter and aperture can produce effects which are otherwise impossible.

I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge

At all of the lives that I never have led

There's one where I stayed with you across the sea

I wonder do you still think of me

I carry your image always in my head

Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge

And I've looked upon it for so many years

Slowly I am loosing your face

 

[chorus:]

Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away

The ocean rolls us away

 

Six's and seven's we live on jet planes

So many faces I don't know the names

So many friends now and none of them mine

Forgotten as soon as we meet

All of these moments are lost in time

Your caught in my head like a thorn on a vine

To forever torment me and I wonder why

Do I wish I'd never known you at all

 

[chorus x2]

Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away

The ocean rolls us away

 

The sun and the moon

An ocean of air

So many voices

But nothing is there

The ghost of you asking me why

Why did I leave

 

[chorus]

 

Oh the ocean rolls us away away away

 

And I lose your hand through the waves

Stand back!

Stand back!

What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet

They're on to something, picking up

Picking up this heat, this heat

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as anything you've seen

Get a life with this dreamer's dream

You know your culture from your trash

You know your plastic from your cash

When I lose sight of the track

You know the way back

But I know you

You know your stripper from your paint

You know your sinner from your saint

Whenever heaven's doors are shut

You kick them open but

I know you

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as any place you've been

Get a life with the dreamer's dream

Stand back!

Stand back!

Can't you see I've lost control I'm getting indiscreet

You're moving…

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as anything you've seen

Get a life with this dreamer's dream

You know your green from your red

You know the quick from the dead

So much better than the rest

You think you've been blessed

But I know you

You know your ladder from your snake

You know the throttle from the brake

You know your straight line from a curve

You've got a lot of nerve

But I know you

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as any place you've been

Get a life with the dreamer's dream

Everybody nosedive

Hold your breath, count to five

Back-slap, booby-trap,

Cover it up in bubble wrap

Room shake, earthquake

Find a way to stay awake

It's going to blow, it's going to break

This is more than I can take

Oh yeah, I need steam

Feel the steam all around me

Ah you're turning up the heat

When I start to dream aloud

See you move your hands and feet

Won't you step into this cloud of steam

This steam

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as anything you've seen

Get a life with this dreamer's dream

Help me yeah

Can't you see my darling

That the harder i try

The more we grow apart

Please believe me

The sweeter the kiss

The colder turn your arms

And the colder grows your heart

And baby more i love you

 

[x2]

I see it in your eyes

I feel it in your touch

I taste it from your lips

And baby more i love you

 

And you're in my heart my darling

The closer i get

The more you're out of love

Don't you feel it

The colder your touch

The more it turns me on

And the faster beats my heart

And baby more i love you

 

[x4]

I see it in your eyes

I feel it in your touch

I taste it from your lips

And baby more i love you

 

This is what HEAVENLY looks like.

 

Some of the best pictures are those that are never planned. In this case, the right amount of sun, fog and dog presented itself for photographer Nate Freeman.

Queenstown, with a permanent population of just 13000 is merely a hamlet. Yet it has managed to make a name for itself as the adventure capital of the world.

 

The interplay of the clouds and sunlight that occurs throughout the day on the mountains that surround this hamlet is just mesmerizing.. that combined with the freshness in the air and the cool day breeze, transports you into a different world alltogether

Went shooting with Brian and Hayden today in Seattle, it was beautiful out! We may of been transported to another dimension, could not of been Seattle with all the sun and blue sky. I gotta try this as a Black & White too....

Vic's Alfa Sud drives away from the church. All the exterior shots of the chapel were filmed outside St.Mungo's church on Parson street. I had arranged tome to shoot the interior shots but when I got there it seemed the inside was filmed elsewhere.
