he stands. the light comes from behind, it burns his shirt white. he holds the machine. the saw. dust rises, caught in the light. like smoke. or steam. he is cutting the stone. the ground is broken. it is just work. a simple, hard fact.
Continuing the photo walk around York, we ended the evening at Clifford’s Tower, which dates from William The Conqueror.
I hadn’t taken a tripod for this particular outing, instead relying on my Platypod, which is a great device to have in your bag; it takes up so little space and weighs next to nothing.
Because of the Platypod, I had the camera virtually on the pavement, which gave me this very low POV.
“When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. Four hoarse blasts of a ship’s whistle still raise the hair on the back of my neck and set my feet to tapping. The sound of a jet, an engine warming up, even the clopping of shod hooves on pavement brings on the ancient shudder, the dry mouth and vacant eye, the hot palms and the churn of stomach high up under the rib cage. In other words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable. I set this matter down not to instruct others but to inform myself.” — John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley (1962)
Somewhere northwest of Cochrane, Ont., along the Trans-Canada Highway and the rails of the former NTR mainline across Northern Ontario.
From our Sunday day trip to the South Devon coast and spending all day at the beach in Hope Cove. The water was fantastically refreshing and so crystal clear, we saw lots of fish, kelp and other interesting sealife like hermit crabs. I have to get some diving goggles and a snorkel for next time!!
A dramatic low-angle perspective of the Eiffel Tower captured in Paris, France. The iron lattice structure rises powerfully into a deep blue sky, emphasizing its geometry, symmetry, and monumental scale.
Shot to highlight architectural detail and perspective distortion, the composition draws the viewer upward through converging lines and structural patterns. The contrast between steel textures and moving clouds creates a sense of motion and permanence — a modern monument frozen in time.
Not able to make new pictures lately. Going through my lost & found. First day of a year, that became very depressing and challenging.
An attempt to capture the essence of a typical NYC subway station - grit, speed, heat and all. Here, the A-Train at Utica Avenue in Brooklyn.
The crew of Trillium's Port Colborne job has tied down their MLW S-13 in the yard at Welland, Ontario for lunch - coffee, soup and sandwiches from Tim Hortons.
A single snowdrop photographed outdoors with natural light (and a bit of a gentle breeze).
These are tough, tiny woodland flowers that signal Spring is near.
A pair of venerable Canadian National EMD SD40-2s guide the thrice-weekly Edmonton to Camrose local, train no. 518, along the Camrose Subdivision on a pleasant spring afternoon in central Alberta.
A byproduct, in a way, this shot was meant to test angle of camera and exposure prior to a fireworks on the grounds of the Zollverein World Heritage Site in Essen, Germany.
Another one from last Sunday's visit to Ladram Bay. Difficult conditions for taking a landscape photo but perfect conditions for a day at the beach!
A low angle on Wisconsin Central train 50 curving through Rugby, Wisconsin, on a sunny April 14, 1997—powered by a pair of EMD cowls—F45 No. 6656 and FP45 No. 6652.
A solitary sandpiper pauses at the rushing water’s edge, reading the flow for its next move. Even in the chaos of the stream, patience prevails.
A low angle shot taken on/in the Adam's Plaza Bridge, at Canary Wharf, during my day trip to London. The shot is a fairly common composition, but I tried to do something a little different by having the camera on the floor and deliberately keeping it underexposed slightly to give it a more eerie sci-fi feel.
It took a lot of patience and several tries to get the shot due to the number of people walking through it; there are still some people in the distance, but barely visible.

A low-angle study of Muscari in the garden. I used the Lensbaby Sol 45 to tilt the focus onto the central stalks, allowing the surrounding flowers to melt into a soft blur. I love how this lens handles the morning light, creating those beautiful circular highlights in the foliage behind.
Another from a Lockdown walk in my local park. This mistle thrush being annoyed by a magpie, out of shot, to the left.
Beautiful old chapel in an abandoned house.
