It's been too long, I've been alone, mm
I've seen too much to go back home
Light years away, away from you
Just hoping that I make it through
So who do I trust?
Don't look for me, there's no need to try
Just leave me behind
I know what it's like when they leave you to die
I got no where to hide
These drugs won't help me get out of my mind
I'll learn to survive
And find you if I make it out alive
This photograph began life as an intended stitched together panorama. The light on the grasses and hills was extraordinary, thick and golden, an inky-blue sky above. I was driving across country to return to work for the week. Rushing, I snatched at the second shot in the group, blurring it, but left no overlap between the first and third images and didn't check on the screen.
This is a righthand square crop from the first image, the best I could salvage from a job badly done, made monochrome.
Taken from the roadside, the perceived distance is magnified by the wide angle and emphasis on the foreground, enhancing the hut's sense of isolation.
Ceredigion, March 2019. Pentax K-S1, 18-55mm kit lens, raw crop, contrast, monochrome and a fraction of vignette in Photoshop.
Reflections on a Scottish Loch
Scotland, United Kingdom. Mobile phone photography during Social distancing regime.
……A flower on the Chives that thinks it’s above all its peers - I cut it down to size for the group shot!! We are STILL staying securely ‘Locked Down’ AT HOME to stay safe and also to NOT be a vehicle to the virus, we could be or we could meet “stealth carriers.” - Covid-19 does not have legs (or wings) so obeying the 2 meter rule is sound advice too.

Located along the Alpine Walking Trail just south of the Falls Creek alpine resort on the Bogong High Plains.
Infrared.......Another image from my day on Bodmin Moor. These locations are always good for finding isolated trees. You can just see the fir trees in the distance from my previous image. I was really pleased with the skies on this day, the weather was showery with great cloud formations when the rain cleared. Your feedback will be most appreciated.

Is Proud To Present
A Twain Orfan Film:
Say Something !
The Critics Have Spoken:
'I haven't had much time to see Twain's movies lately, .. but this one really got to me. I was with a friend of mine, trying to eat pop corn, ya know ? ..and, .. I could barely chew it .. tears were just streaming down my face. It was really an emotional experience for me... One of his best films to date I'd have to say. [Gwyneth Evergarden / New York Times / Flickr Artist ]
'So, Lobo and me went to see this movie and we were like, ya know, the acting of the main star, Mollie. She was like .. 'Wow'. I guess Twain's directing skills have improved quite a bit. He'll never be a musician like my Lobo is. And this windlight he uses has got to go ! But, .. yeh. Great movie ! I kept pulling Lobo's arm around me for comfort. It was sad .. and touching. Bravo Twain ! [Carisa Franizzi / Baby Girl Times / Flickr Artist ]
'I don't really know Twain at all. So I thought I'd check out one of his movies and, ..well, .. the
cinematography was awesome ! It just hit me in my gut ! The lead actor, Mollie, she projected such emotion ... I felt her isolation. I just wanted to get up from my theater seat and give her a hug, ya know? It was a solid movie. [Betta B. / Chicago Times / Flickr Artist ]
'I finally had the time to see this movie of Twain's. It is definitely moody, sad, and pulls at your heart strings. It hits all the right notes. The Production behind the movie by both Claire Danes
www.imdb.com/name/nm0000132/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm and also by Reese Witherspoons Production Company 'Hello Sunshine' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Sunshine_(company) insured the quality of the Production would be top notch !! Twain as the Director .. yes. He did seem to work with Mollie well. I can feel through out the film this constant searching for something 'more' .. the missing element. It is sad and touching. I admit .. I loved it.

'I am on the same sim as Twain is ..I'm working near by on the MGM Studio lot. I am dressed in only a rather skimpy swimsuit. Twain comes up to me and asks me if I could help him out and be in this photo for him. Now .. I had heard that Twain is a bit of a caution. Actually .. insane ! Here I am in the middle of a photo shoot ..almost naked. I was ready to turn him down ..then he tells me. 'You'll need to put more clothes on for this movie.' .. Well? I've never had a Director tell me I'd need more clothes ! So I thought that was a good sign. So I walk off the MGM studio lot and go with Twain to this remote area. I sit down on these pillows, all comfy. Twain tells me.. 'No! No pillows ! ' Twain throws out the pillows .. ? So I'm sitting there on the bare wood. He asks me to tell him a sad story .. and I start to tell him about when I was much younger, and how I had this puppy .. how it suddenly took ill, .. and .. and .. [waves her hands in front of her face ],... sorry, .. I , ... I just can't ... go there ... Anyways, .. I just felt so sad and isolated. Alone. Twain really knew how to draw out my emotions. The funny thing is most Directors are really very talky .. talk a lot. Twain was really very quiet. It must have taken about an hour to do this one scene alone. But he seemed rather 'normal' ? I'd work with him again. The pay wasn't that great. But he seemed a good Director and he gave me a coupon that has a $35.00 Linden value at any Perkins Restaurant. He let me watch the dailies of the filming as it proceeded which no other Director had ever let me do before. Seemed like a decent fellow. So .. yeh .. I'd work with him again. What else can I say?
He dresses in a formal suit on set everyday .. that's a bit much. Other than that no complaints.

QD4: An unusual portrait crop but I think it works well.
This is Dunmore Head, at the tip of the Dingle Peninsula, Kerry, Ireland.
……The same trees as the last post but taken a little further down the road with a longer lens. A prime candidate for mono this one I thought. Hope you are having a great week and be sure to stay Covid safe, Alan;-)……
