Inside the room behing the blast door is a table with people's notes they have left over the years. I see logbooks all the time in old miner's cabins, but have never seen on in an actual mine. I guess someone left a little note some years ago and other people foollowed.

What would life be without music?
The world would be a very quiet place. Music is in many ways the fabric of our lives and the definition of society.
Music has had a very strong impact on my life. I have been brought up in a musical environment. My parents are great musicians and my idols. Musical melodies bound my family together. I believe that music has healing powers. If we had arguments or family problems, we used to sit together, sing, dance and spend a musical evening. These musical evenings are embedded in my soul as beautiful memories. I dedicate this project to those precious moments.
In this project, I desire to emphasize that common men, women and children practise the art of music besides their daily routine work. Firstly It seems in recent years being busy has become the rule rather than the exception. Anywhere you go you would find people who have no time for themselves and therefore no time for exploring their musical talents.
Secondly in India we do not really appreciate careers in the unconventional fields of music and arts. The mindset of parents and society is such that it does not allow such talents to come out. They want their children to grow up to be either doctors or engineers. Any field in which the future is uncertain or risky is strongly discouraged.
The fact remains that there are so many people who are very talented but are either not able to explore their talent or not able to use it. It is due to this reason that these people go unheard.
However there are people who fight against all odds to follow their dreams. They take time out from their busy schedules be it their work or studies to practise music. Through this project I would like the highlight and bring to limelight the hidden musical talent in people; people who obey Shakespeare when he says, “If music be the food of love, play on...!”
The other photographs related to this project will be published as part of a book... The preview can be seen in my facebook profile...

Frost and ice in Florida? Yes! We have many winter days with temps (F) in the 20s. Hard freezes and frost are not uncommon. One year it was so cold that the giant wild pythons in the Everglades were freezing to death, and it even got to freezing temps in the Keys. Not anywhere near as severe as the NY winters I used to experience, but 25 degrees anywhere is cold!
These are micro shots of ice crystals from the frost on various bits of vegetation in my yard. I have to shoot them early in the morning because even the heat from my breath will start them to melting, and even if the temp is 30F, when the sun hits the yard the frost vanishes in minutes so I have to move fast.

Note: this photo was published in a Jul 24, 2009 blog titled "Full moon." It was also published in a Dec 6, 2009 blog titled "The business world is full of two kinds of people—builders and traders." And it was published in a Dec 31, 2009 blog titled "Once in a Blue Moon: Be Sure to Look Up This New Year’s Eve."
Moving into 2010, the photo was published in a Jan 29, 2010 blog titled "Friday Recap: Wolf Moon Edition," which discussed the "wolf moon" phenomenon that occurred on Jan 29th. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with this photo -- which was taken roughly six months earlier. Indeed, I had considered photographing the "real" wolf moon, but by the time I became aware of it, it was already high in the sky and no longer interesting from a photographic perspective. Interestingly, it was also situated quite a lot further north than this particular photo -- in which the moon had risen right above 96th Street, and illuminated part of the entrance into Central Park...
Anyway, it was also published in a Jul 4, 2010 blog titled "Events for or Less Sunday." It was also published in an Oct 6, 2010 blog titled "Folklore Confirmed: The Moon's Phase Affects Rainfall (via @sciencenow)," and an Oct 29, 2010 blog titled "The Secret Behind Day Trading Software And a Reason to Use It." It was also published in a Nov 6, 2010 blog titled "Day Trading Software Along With the Perks of Technology," and a Nov 8, 2010 blog titled "How to Select the Best Day Trading Software." It was also published in a Dec 8, 2010 blog titled "E mini S&P Index Trading Perfect Tool for Full-TIme Day-traders."
Moving into 2011, the photo was published in an Apr 24, 2011 blog titled "Will you see a fuller moon tonight … or tomorrow?" And it was published in a Jul 14, 2011 blog titled "Understanding full moon," which was republished in a Jan 8, 2012 blog with the same title . It was also published in an Aug 29, 2011 blog titled "Day Software Stock Trading – Is Trading Software Right Choice For You?
Moving into 2012, the photo was published in a Jan 11, 2012 Slate France blog titled "La Lune est-elle à la portée des entrepreneurs?" It was also published in a Sep 7, 2012 blog titled "Has the Moon created the world’s most enduring optical illusion?"
Moving into 2013, the photo was published in a Feb 25, 2013 blog titled "Understanding Full Moon."
Moving into 2014, the photo was published in a Mar 7, 2014 blog titled "Nightshift."

***************************
These photos were taken a couple days after my first HDR efforts on the 4th of July weekend, in an attempt to get a decent image of the full moon rising over the east side of Manhattan, from the terrace of my apartment over on the Upper West SIde. Not particularly memorable or spectacular results, but it gave me a chance to experiment with some of the parameters and settings in the Photomatix program I'm using to merge/combine the HDR shots.
Full disclosure: in addition to the HDR shots, I also took some "traditional" shots of the full moon a little later, after it had risen higher in the sky; these were taken with a manual setting of f/11 and 1/250th second (as recommended by Scott Kelby, in his Digital Photography books). I then used Adobe Photoshop Elements to extract just the moon out of that photo, and pasted it into this HDR composition in a separate "layer", which I was then able to enlarge to a ridiculous extent.
The original HDR image had a much more interesting orange-colored moon ... but when I tried to blow it up to a larger size, using Photoshop, the edges were so rough and grainy that it was embarrassing. So I think I'll stick with this composite, for better or worse...
********************
I tried an HDR (high dynamic range) photo once a year ago, but for some reason never pursued it. But it seems that more of and more of the "interesting" photos that I see on Flickr are HDR shots, so I decided to give it another try. The initial set of photos were taken from the rooftop of my apartment building at sunset, on the Sunday evening of 4th of July weekend.
I still have a *lot* to learn about this stuff, but even as a first attempt I'm staggered by what the tonal-mapping software programs (Photomatix, in my case) are capable of doing...
