Here is the link for another shot I took.
In the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens parking lot, there is a section fenced off with a lot of these pieces of statues. They simply fascinate, and even haunt me!
Midnightblues' (thank you!) gave me a suggestion to speak to someone to see if I could be let in and shoot them closer. This day, I happened to run into a guard who was on her lunch break and started talking to her. I ask what she knew about them, she told me they didn't belong to the gardens, but in fact to the Brooklyn Museum.
She didn't think anyone would let me in, but she, you never know...
She told me who to speak to during the week (when I have to work!). But who knows...maybe someday I be lucky enough to be off and catch someone nice enough to let me in...it good to dream right??
Be well my friends....and thank you for all your visits, and wonderful comments!

...even your own clone bullies you while you are not watching.
Was inspired by the movie "Moon" that I watched yesterday. Fantastic low-budget production.
Second inspiration came when I wore my black suit and red shirt: Codename 47 if you know what I mean.
Strobist Info: 580 EX left of camera with 1/4 right up into the ceiling ; 420 EZ around the corner in the front with 1/1 left up into the ceiling.
Watch it large; it took me quite some time with the details.
These once amazing doors seem to wear such a sad expression. How many stories they must hold, how many lives have they opened and closed for.
Canon 7D w/ 24mm f2.8 lens. I tried to make this one with a little bit of blur on the background image so make it more pronounced. I made the lock image look as tack sharp as I could get it both in camera and a bit more in photoshop and then placed the lock image over the background image. This image is how I feel some days, stuck between the same 4 walls.

Greater Manchester Police has launched a spoof website that shows how spending a night in prison is a truly unforgettable experience that can have far reaching negative repercussions on your life.
Logging onto the Drunken Disorderly Inn takes visitors to a hotel-chain style website that features tongue-in-cheek videos, photographs and information on what it is like to be arrested, booked into custody and spend a night in a prison cell.
The website is GMP’s latest tactic to raise awareness of the consequences of alcohol fuelled antisocial behaviour and violence in an engaging way that can easily be shared through Facebook, Twitter and other social networking media.
Sections cover how ‘guests’ are transported in ‘blue-light limousines’, how their details are inputted on the police national database and all their possessions taken off them for safekeeping from ‘ the burglars, robbers and thieves that frequent our premises’.
Other sections cover the ‘nouveau stark décor theme’, compact rooms that are fitted with extra stout doors, locks and state-of-the art CCTV and frills-free hygiene and exercise facilities.
The website has been produced in-house by the Force and features response and custody officers.
Greater Manchester Police Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said: “For thousands of people in our county a few drinks out in the local bar or club are an integral part of celebrating Christmas and the New Year. The vast majority of people do this responsibly ensuring they and others have a good time and go home safe.
“Excessive drinking can however lead to a selfish binge-drinking minority getting involved in drunken violence and antisocial behaviour such as swearing, shouting and criminal damage.
“They can be assured that we will be watching out for them and will have no hesitation in putting them up for the night.
“Please visit this website before you go out and share it with your friends. Although it is tongue-in-cheek it carries a serious message highlighting the cold, stark experience of being taken into custody and how it can damage your reputation, relationships and work prospects.
“Please enjoy yourself and stay safe this Christmas and remember it’s your night out and your choice. Don’t spend it with us.”
Police are offering the following advice to people who may be planning a night out over Christmas:
·Pace your drinks
·Stay with friends
·Plan how you intend to get home safely
·Take a taxi you can trust
·Don’t ruin it for others

Behind bars.
Wigan Youth Zone is threw open its doors to celebrate 40 years of Greater Manchester Police last Saturday, 26 April 2014.
As the regional police force marks its 40th anniversary, local teams pulled together to put on a huge family fun day for all the community.
The Youth Zone hosted a free event for families across the borough to have fun and learn just what their police force does for them.
The day was filled with performances from the Old DW Pemberton Brass Band and the WYZ Rock school, along with a swag bag treasure hunt, themed sports activities and a barbeque.
The day was also another chance for families to come and enjoy the Youth Zone together.
PC Myles Edwards from Greater Manchester Police said: “Our local teams work very closely with Wigan Youth Zone, so when we decided to hold an anniversary party it made perfect sense to hold it at this well-known town centre venue.
“The event was a great chance for all of Wigan Borough to come and meet their local police teams and find out more about what the police do for them on a daily basis. Above all, the event was great fun with loads of activities, entertainment and food.”
As part of their 40th anniversary, Tony Lloyd, Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner has provided funding each of Greater Manchester Police’s divisions. The money is to be spent on community projects and events.
Wigan’s share of the money also funded a residential for 20 young people to Ulverston Water Park earlier this month.
John Harker, Wigan Youth Zone General Manager, said: “Greater Manchester Police and our local PCs and PCSOs have always been really supportive.
“We are delighted to be hosting this event to mark this big anniversary and this looks set to be a great day for all families across Wigan Borough.”

The protest took place outside the drive up entrance to Swissotel on East Wacker Drive in downtown Chicago. Heartland Alliance was holding its big annual gala dinner there.
The protesters say that Heartland is profiting off the incarceration of immigrant children. They say that these places are nothing but detention camps that are "ill equipped to handle the needs of immigrant children".These facilities are staffed by non-professionals. Anxiety and thoughts of suicide run high among the children. There are widespread allegations of physical and sexual abuse.
They say that Heartland Alliance is "in cahoots with big money". By the government proclaiming that certain people are illegal private industry - meaning places like Heartland - are making a profit off incarcerating these children.
For its part, Heartland, on its website, invites interested people to "Join us to protect the rights and dignity of immigrants and asylum seekers, and that Heartland "strongly oppose the actions of the current administration".
My mother-in-law hosted the family Christmas party over the weekend, and some of the kids were scared of her sweet dog. So, the poor thing had to be in her cage.
(Which, considering the weather, was much better than being outside...)

As the cell door closes.
A Bury resident spent yesterday (29/1/13) in the cells of the Greater Manchester Police Museum to help raise money for a local youngster.
Former prison officer Tracey Snelling, from Outwood, spent the day behind bars for 12-year-old Joshua Wilson, a pupil at Elms Bank High School in Whitefield.
Josh was treated for a brain tumour in 2004 and has severe neuromuscular disabilities.
His family needs £25,000 to pay for specialist equipment to assist Josh in the home.
Tracey was arrested at Whitefield police before being taken to the Force’s award-winning museum.
The event was been organised by PC Danny McCondichie, of the Whitefield Neighbourhood Policing Team.
Tracey faced a judge in the museum’s Victorian courtroom, accused of always foul play in a police quiz on Twitter.
She was convicted and was sentenced to a day in the cell block.
She said: “I saw Josh’s story on Twitter and I thought I would like to do something to help.
“I’m looking forward to it. It will be strange on the other side of the bars but at least I know I will be getting out at the end of the day.”
For more information about Joshua visit his website.

An officer from south Manchester has secured £700 of money seized from criminals to improve the division’s youth bus.
The money has been used to purchase a Wii Games Console, games, DVDs, CD’s, karaoke machine and TV.
The youth bus is run by NGage in partnership with Greater Manchester Police and provides young people with something to do to deter them from committing antisocial behaviour.
The bus also enables police community support officers and youth workers to engage with young people in an informal surrounding.
PC Anthony Willis from the Fallowfield Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “The youth bus is a great tool for the police and always receives a great reception from younger residents.
“After several years of use, the bus was in desperate need of some new equipment and I’m delighted that money seized from those that have caused harm within our communities has been used to fund something positive.”
Rachel Stafford, Youth Inclusion Manager from NGage said: "It is such a privilege to be able to work alongside the police in this work, and the bus has proved to be so beneficial for the young people that we have contact with.
“It is a great resource and we are so thankful to PC Willis for securing the funding to get the extra equipment on the bus. The young people have really appreciated it and have loved being able to engage in different ways because of it."

The police arrived just in time to catch the gatecrashers as they tried to make an escape out the back exit. With a little struggle the police apprehended them both. They were put into handcuffs and placed under arrest.
With the fire completely out the police walked the two gatecrashers back through the party to the waiting police van to take them to the station to be formally charged. The guests watch all the action unfold, and applauded loudly as the two criminals made the walk of shame out of the party.
It's been hot as hell this past week. I'm hiding indoors to keep away from most of the heat, so now I feel cramped and locked up in my own house!
Day 3: Not Showing My Fucking Face Week
Now here is a building that has character. I had about 30 mins to kill before I had to pick up my youngest daughter. My oldest daughter and I spotted this beauty from a distance. It was here under my nose the entire time! Minutes from my home, hidden on a back road that is rarely used, just blaring COME PHOTOGRAPH ME RYAN!!!! Unfortunately I only had about ½ hour this session to capture some of this exquisite decaying chipped mouth watering building, but you better bet your next child I’ll be back.
And the best part is that place was gated off. We had to jump a fence to get in. Hell yeah, that means someone doesn’t want us in there. Even more reason that I should be in there. I swear I get to a place like this and I don’t draw blanks. I just go go go. Picture after picture I don’t sit still. I never have to ponder “hmmmm what picture do I want to take now”. It’s just the opposite actually. I am so overwhelmed with ideas that I can’t move fast enough. I could stay at a place like this all day till the sun came down and the drug addicts came and took it over.
Now even more the fun, I get to log on the internet and research what the hell this building is. I want to know everything about it. What it is, why it’s abandoned, why it wasn’t just taken down, why it has a fence around it, why it’s locked up, what it was used for, how long it’s been empty, etc. More on that maybe when I go back.

Driver of the #7 car goes hard into the turn at the end of Lakeshore Blvd in one of the qualifiers as part of the Toronto Honda Indy. I am not sure what series this car belonged to. Special thanks again for Sony in organizing a meet-up group pit access to the event and having some great gear on hand to demo. One important lesson I learned on this day was to monitor shutter speed and keep it low enough to get blurring in the wheels as the cars pass. It is not an easy task and still get a sharp overall shot.
