Any Avengers fans in the house? One of my fav lines is from End Game, where the superheroes have come together for the final showdown. In the film version it is Captain America who says: "Avengers...assemble." But die-hard (no pun intended) fans know that it was actually Thor who rallied his comrades in the 1964 comic Avengers #10 by Stan Lee and Don Heck.
What does this have to do with a baking a cake? Well now, I'm glad you asked. I'm a novice baker, prefer to cook because it's more freeform and forgiving; baking is precise and not tolerant of mistakes...not if you're hoping for a palatable win.
"Ingredients, assemble!"

Week 36: flat lay photography
This clock is an original Irish grandfather clock, maybe 170 years old. It had marked off every moment, good, bad and indifferent of the lives of everyone I know, their fathers and grandfathers and has never flinched.
This image is probably should be two separate ones. It has two sides and they both work independently of each other, but for some unknown reason they just click together. Metaphors aside, I’m interested in why I feel they work together and if anybody else can see it, or is it just me? Part of the reason I love photography, (ok making images) is this type of conundrum and what it offers to me in enquiring about how I see the world. There are more unknowns than knowns, but our crazy world would lead us to convince us of the latter, in blissful ignorance of what is out there that can enrich our lives! I know I’m getting all heavy, but it’s the unknowns that are on the edge of knowledge that keep me interested! Oh yes its getting near New Year and I often think this way when I have a bit of time to reflect on where it is that I’m actually going and to remind myself that it’s the journey not the destination!
This is a photo of reflections on the surface of the river. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen.
The current understanding of astrophysics is that at the beginning of the universe, the creation of matter was symmetrically balanced by the creation of anti-matter. Contact between them results in their mutual annihilation, accompanied by a massive release of energy, analogous to a nuclear explosion. The symmetry in this image could be seen as a visual metaphor for this.

Up on Mam Tor in Derbyshire last night under a very bright moonlit sky. Traffic trails kindly provided by Tim and his borrowed Batmobile with a dodgy clutch!
This photo is also probably a metaphor for the working week I just had, I'm literally going around the twist!
I know I’ve changed. Nothing gets to me anymore. Well, okay, except for stuff in the past. Back then I was all innocent and trusting and didn’t know anything.

The steel works rendered somewhat featureless in the early morning gloom seemed to me to be a metaphor for the future of the U.S. Steel Co. in Hamilton.
In a profound sense every man has two halves to his being; he is not one person so much as two persons trying to act in unison. I believe that in the heart of each human being there is something which I can only describe as a "child of darkness" who is equal and complementary to the more obvious "child of light."
