A one way trip out of the belly of Highgate station, London.
Shortly after I took this photo the staff put on a "Stay safe on the escalator" message over the tannoy. So yeah thanks for your passive-aggressive warning for my safety, TFL! I've done this before ;)
#MonoMondays
Looking up in The Grand Shaft, Dover. A great Spring day out adventuring with some good friends early last year : )
The Grand Shaft is a unique triple staircase built in 1806-1809 to provide a shortcut for troops from the Western Heights to the town. It has three staircases of Purbeck limestone, which wind clockwise, one above the other, down a central brick light and ventilation shaft lit by an occasional window. At the bottom the three staircases meet in the sloping corridor which leads to Snargate Street. There are 200 steps in each staircase separated by several landings.
This is also one of 2 images I have entered into my first camera club comp. Two of my mono images will go head to head against other members, including my uncles! judged by an external judge, the one with the least points has to by the coffee! :P Hoping I don't get ripped to shreds too much! :P

Have a great Monday, even if it is, you know ... Monday! :)
7 Days of Shooting; Things I can't live without; Mono Monday
Okay so techinically, I could live without it, and I do/must for the majority of every year. But for 1 to 3 weeks a year, I get to rip it up down the slopes of whichever mountain I'm lucky enough to be on. This was shot in India last year, and quickly became a very personally inspirational photograph for me. I had a rough idea what I was doing in Manual mode and my old Minolta held out well in the snow, and even better after being sprayed by Chris's powder half a second after I took this.
From this day forth, I knew I was going to want to take many more, high quality photographs.

djembefola –
(African term) Directly translated a djembefola is "one who gives the djembe voice". A djembefola is a djembe player. Generally someone would be fairly competent with a djembe before they are referred to as a djembefola.
The djembe is a goblet-shaped, West-African hand drum from 11” to 14” in diameter and about 24” in height. Technically, it belongs to the family of percussion instruments known as membranophones, because it consists of a shell covered by a membrane of rawhide, usually derived from goat or cow.
Ideally, the shell is hand-carved from a single piece of hardwood that results in a Helmholtz resonator, giving it a deep-throated bass. Prior to the twentieth century, the membrane was attached to the shell with sinew, intestine or a strip of rawhide. Nowadays, stretch-resistant nylon and/or polyester rope has become the norm.
Wood density, carving patterns, skin characteristics and the general shape and proportions of the shell combine to give the African djembe a versatile voice.
