Crossing the River Thames between Chelsea and Battersea, Albert Bridge is a stunning example of Victorian bridge architecture. It is not on most visitors' itineraries but well worth a visit for architecture enthusiasts.
Named in memory of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Prince Consort to Queen Victoria, the attractive Albert Bridge was built between 1870 and 1872. Designed by Rowland Mason Ordish, it was an excellent example of a rigid suspension bridge. It measures 216 meters long, 12.5 meters wide (700 ft by 41 ft) and has a centre span of 122 meters (400 feet).
The bridge is elegantly lit after sundown and is a photographic must for avid picture-takers. I think all bridges are the best places to photograph London. Each bridge is unique in style and the River Thames is the true heart of the city.

Bangkok is a world of wonder whether you are visiting for the first time or return for multiple visits. This is Bangkok - a city with so much activity and is overcrowded beyond comprehension that you can't help but fall in love. Rich and dramatic historical sights such as The Grand Palace will send you into cultural overload while the tall modern architecture reminds you that you're in a cosmopolitan city.
It is safe to say the city is one that you could visit ten times and still not see everything you want to see. Take it slow and take in small portions so you can take it in and absorb it. It's guaranteed you'll find travel photo opportunities almost everywhere you turn.
Bangkok is a city to add at the top of your dream travel destinations. It is also a city where mobile phone cameras might be better suited for trekking around rather than carrying a large bulky DSLR. The video in this particular blog post shows only a small morsel of what Bangkok has to offer.

50 Way GO Green!!!!
HOME
If you can't afford a new home or a large remodeling project, there are still plenty of things you can do to be environmentally friendly and save money.
1. Update your lighting
Make it a policy to buy energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs. You can now get a variety of shapes and perfectly match the color hue and lighting for each room. They look good and use at least two-thirds less power than regular lighting.
2. Buy Energy Star
When you are ready to buy new home appliances, buy smart. Check for the Energy Star rating. These more efficient machines can reduce your utility bill as much as 30-percent. Deb Snoonian, Managing Editor of Plenty Magazine said, "Energy Start is a program sponsored by the EPA and the Department of Energy. Essentially, it's a way for them to recognize the companies and the products that are most energy-efficient. On average, an Energy Start appliance -- whether it's a computer monitor, a refrigerator, a washer or dryer -- is going to be about 30-percent more energy efficient."
3. Wall Warts
Those clunky power adaptors draw energy from the wall all the time. Unplug them individually or attach them to a power strip and turn off the whole switch when not in use. Around 75-percent of all electricity in a home comes from appliances that are turned off, but are still plugged in. Make sure that you only have those appliances plugged in where you're actually using the electricity. You will save on bills and we as a society will save on energy.
4. Dormant Appliances
Practically every appliance uses electricity even when it's switched off. Unless it needs power to retain programming memory, hit the switch. Better yet, make it a family practice. Amy Schachter, an Upper East Side resident, said, "My family reminds each other constantly. That's partly money, partly the fact that we know now that we're creating energy usage that is totally unnecessary."
5. Energy Audit
You can find out how much energy your home uses each year with an energy audit. Many utility providers and state energy departments will audit your home free or at low cost to help you find ways to be more energy efficient.
6. Insulate
Make sure your ducts are properly insulated and install weather-stripping around windows and doors for a better seal. Tax credits on efficiency-increasing heating and cooling equipment make now a great time to upgrade. And remember, insulation pays for itself year round. Cascio Construction President Michael Cascio said, "It translates into the heat or the air conditioning that you're going to use, and certainly you want to retain whatever heating system or whatever cooling system you're using, you want to retain that inside the house."
7. House Plants
Invest in large, live houseplants that will help keep your indoor air fresher.
8. Save Water
Place a water bottle filled with liquid or pennies into your toilet's water tank. This will cause the tank to use less water every time you flush. Plenty Magazine Managing Editor Deb Snoonian estimates it wil save you about a quart to half a gallon per flush.
9. Solar Water Heater
Consider eventually installing a solar hot water heater on your property. It would cost about $8,500 for a family of four. You can apply for federal and state tax credits, which adds up to almost 50-percent. It'll take about six and a half years for the system to break even on its investment, then you're making free hot water.
10. Green Power
Many utility companies offer renewable energy products that can be purchased as a percent of total energy use or in blocks of kilowatts. Buying green energy helps support the development and use of renewable fuel souces.
RECYCLE
There are few things you can't turn into something environmentally friendly while making your pocket a little greener in the process.
11. Make Your Own Cleaning Supplies
Using simple ingredients such as baking soda, soap and vinegar, you can make cheap, easy, and non-toxic cleaning products save money, time, and your indoor air quality. This is especially important if you have kids, pets or if there are elderly people in your home who are sensitive to chemicals in the air so you and your home will be healthier.
12. Safer Paint
Paint can be made with the same volitile organic compounds found in nail polish or gasoline. Major manufacturers and some boutique brands have introduced low VOC paint. It spreads, it covers and leaves the room smelling just fine.
13. Aerosols
Limit your use of aerosol cans. Because they have limited recycling value, the containers will probably wind up in a landfill. Instead of aerosols, look for spray bottles, liquids, powders and roll-ons.
14. Cloth
Paper towels and napkins can be made from recycled paper, though in some cases the recycling costs more than making a brand new product. You won't hear that about cloth napkins, which can be washed and re-used again and again.
15. Laundry Room
By making sure your lint filter is clean and your dryer exhaust free to open and close, you are essentially tuning up the efficiency of your appliance. It will run better and be more cost efficient.
16. Air Dry
For the ultimate in low cost laundry drying, put the clothes on either a drying rack or go outside and use the clothesline.
17. Smart Landscaping
Trees and shrubs provide shade during the summer and can help shield your house from frigid winter winds. Both can help lower your energy bill.
18. Walking the Dog
Instead of plastic bags, scoop your doggie's doo in biodegradable bags.
19. Compost your leftovers
Composting helps reduce the amount of waste you send to the landfill. In the process, you create free, healthy fertilizer for your garden.
20. Collect the Rain
Place a barrel under a gutter downspout and let it fill over time. Plenty Magazine Managing Editor Deb Snoonian said, "Rain water is actually healthier for plants and gardens than tap water which often has chlorine in it to kill bacteria, but bacteria can inhibit plants from growing.
OFFICE
Green at home is one thing; green at the office has its own set of special challenges. Going green is a lifestyle choice, not just a home activity. So what are some steps you can take at work to make things more environmentally friendly?
21. Buy a laptop
Even an oversize laptop runs more efficiently and takes less energy than a desktop.
22. Reduce Paper
The paper trail follows many of us, adding hundreds of pounds of waste. You can reduce it with just a few changes. Save printing: send documents by email and keep files on your computer, not a filing cabinet.
23. Print Double Sides
You can save plenty of paper by programming your printer to use both sides of the paper. In the case of a long report, do you really need 500 one-sided pages?
24. Refill and Reuse Cups
"Many of us get take our coffee in the morning and were using plastic and cardboard cups," said Plenty Magazine Managing Editor Deb Snoonian. "Bring your own mug. You can leave one at work; you can even often times bring a reusable mug as you're commuting in your car. It can be refilled over and over again. Wash it at home it's a nice habit to get into that saves you one cup a day."
25. Pay Your Bills Online
It's not only quicker and easier to pay by computer, it also puts a major dent in the paper waste pile.
26. Recycle Your Appliances
Not just the big ones. Cell phones, PDAs and laptops can all find a new purpose after you're done with them. Many organizations refurbish them for low-income families.
27. Become Battery Smart
Stretch your battery use. A battery too drained to power a flashlight might be perfect to operate your TV remote. Before you pitch it - switch it!
28. Lights Out
Motion sensors, dimmers and timers can be set to turn things on and off when needed.
29. Going Grey
Ask your commercial building manager about using gray water tanks. It's a system that recycles water from your building's toilets, washing machines and dishwashers. Impractical? Don't say that around New Jersey's Aspen Ice Skating Rink where the septic water is collected, treated and put back on the rink. At this point, the systems are a bit too costly for one-family use, but if you're in a commercial building or a planned community, consider making the water work for you.
30. Water
Speaking of water, instead of bottled water around the meeting table, filter your tap for drinking water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it produces large amounts of wasteful containers.
CAR & GAS
Even if you can't buy the most environmentally friendly car, there are still plenty of things you can do to get from one place to another with minimum energy. Getting to work, school and running errands all add to your energy budget. To go green you don't have to give up transportation, just use it a bit more wisely.
31. Work From Home
Instant messaging and video conferencing now allow you to hold conferences or even take online classes. This means you save time and gas.
32. Use Public Transportation
Trains, buses, boats, car pools and your own feet.
33. Rental Car
When driving is necessary, use an inexpensive hourly rental car.
34. Drive Economically
Even if you can't afford a fancy hybrid, there are plenty of cars that get great mileage. A car that gives you another 10 more miles to the gallon puts $1,000 dollars a year back in your pocket!
35. Drive Smart
Properly inflate your tires, change your air filter and drive 55 mph on the highway.
36. Friendly Fuels
Using bio fuels goes way beyond ethanol. Look for environmentally friendly oil car fluids and, of course, read how to use and dispose of them properly.
37. Car Air Conditioning
It's practically standard on modern cars. Use it wisely. At higher speeds, open windows create drag and lower your mileage. Roll them up and use the air and recirculation. At slower speeds and around town, roll down your windows and catch a cool breeze.
38. One Right Turn Deserves Another
The time spent in your car idling while waiting to turn against oncoming traffic burns fuel and costs millions each year. In metro New York, United Parcel Service (UPS) reduced emissions by 1,000 metric tons with a software map program customized for every driver to minimize lefts.
39. Drive Thru
Avoid the drive thru. Instead of idling in line with your engine running for several minutes, save the gas by parking and going inside for your order.
40. Car Wash
Commercial car washes can be more efficient than home washing. Check to make sure that they clean and recycle the water.
AT THE STORE
In the store, in your home, even while you sleep...There are things you can do to be more energy efficient and better to the environment.
41. B.Y.O.B.
Bring Your Own Bag. Some grocery stores give you cash toward your next purchase for every bag you bring in to use again. It saves them and you money. "In the U.S., we use five hundred billion plastic bags every single year and only three percent of those get recycled," said Deb Snoonian, Managing Editor of Plenty Magazine. "You can also buy permanent bags with designer colors."
42. Packaging
Check the amount of cardboard, plastic and other materials used for the box. Some retailers are replacing plastic containers with corn-based packaging.
43. Buy Big
By purchasing things in larger quantities, you will probably save money and certainly save the cost of packaging and transporting smaller boxes of the same thing.
44. Green Fashions Are Becoming Hot
Look for clothes and accessories like handbags that are environmentally friendly.
45. Pet Products
Even kitty litter can be laced with questionable ingredients. Look for natural alternatives.
46. Antiques
Antiques are sort of the ultimate recyclable, servicing generations of owners. Many can be restored with natural wax products at a very reasonable price.
47. Buy Water Efficient Showerheads and Aerators
Many modern showerheads are built to conserve. Check to see how well yours works. Also, aerators on the faucets will keep water waste to a minimum.
48. Mattresses
Federal regulations will soon require all sleeping mattresses to be fire resistant. If you like the safety but don't care for the flame retardant chemicals, some popular brands are introducing models with a more natural fiber based flame retardant barrier.
49. Energy Offset Certificates
These essentially allow you to invest in an environmentally friendly cause.
50. Smart Recycling
Smart recycling can be environmentally sound and pleasing, too. Companies like IceStone make durable surfaces made from recycled materials, like glass and concrete. Recycling is not limited to bottles. Used doors windows, fixtures can all be bought at a fraction of the new price. Think creatively - a New York man built a veritable castle of recycled materials.

Kara asked us to make a pastsecret card to put inside our life story box. it didn't HAVE to be a secret, but that's the general idea. Sometimes it's good to just get your feelings out there.
Anthem, AZ has a man-made water feature that I like to shoot whenever I'm there.
I took an online class about long exposure photography several months back and wanted to try it out. I also did HDR with this photo. I was amazed with the long exposure since I had stacked a ND3, ND4, and a circular polarizer on my lens and my camera was still able to calculate the exposure. (It was bright, bright outside.)
I debated about cropping this photo a little tighter since I don't care for the "floating" look of the rock up front, but it gives the photo a focal point and leaves the question of whether the rock was PS in. (It wasn't. The rock is truly there.)
Thank you for looking.

Hidden away amongst the rugged West Texas Mountains is the tranquil Coal Mine Ranch. The ranch is privately owned so one must be invited, tho' what's more, is one must know how to navigate the unmarked dirt roads to arrive there. An off-road vehicle is a must, too. Once at the Coal Mine Ranch, satellite radio is the only connection to the civilized world; otherwise, expect one of the most relaxing times you could ever have in the wild.
The Coal Mine Ranch is featured in my second book, "El Paso 120 : Edge of the Southwest" which shows the incredible landscapes of West Texas, Southern New Mexico and ... well, El Paso. All areas included in the book are 120 miles or less from the City of El Paso, Texas. Upon release, "El Paso 120" went on to become a best seller and was recognized by the Texas Book Festival as one of the best Texas photography books of the year. The book is available to purchase from any major book sellers such as Barnes and Noble , Amazon or Waterstones

It is entirely possible that New York City was made for photographers. Any photo you capture could easily say - This is New York. If you are a keen street photographer, what I've just said is absolutely true.
Strangely, I've always found NYC to be difficult to photograph. Part of my problem is I'm accustomed to wide open spaces of Texas. In New York everything is way up in the air and compact. My other issue is I've never gone to New York with the intention of just taking photographs. I've had no plan. And, I'm unsure what interests me the most in the city to capture with my camera. I'm never without a plan.
More importantly, I haven't allowed myself enough time to properly photograph New York City. It's on my list of things to do. And it does take time if you want to capture splendid photos. This is true of anything you want to photograph.
Instead, I've capture random shots with no rhyme or reason. Most photographs were taken in Midtown which is a cool area of Manhattan. Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Radio City Music Hall, the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Grand Central Station are all fantastic locations. If you go out and about around three or four in the morning, there is a good chance you'll have the city to yourself. That's not so good for street photography.
My best suggestion for New York City photography is go with a plan. Know where you're going and know what you want to photograph.

London Bridge, connecting The City of London to Southwark has had many incarnations as well as a long history. The latest bridge with the city's namesake opened to traffic in 1973.
The current London Bridge, built between 1968 and 1972, replaced Rennie’s stone arches with beams of prestressed concrete reaching 340 feet (104 metres) in the central span. Construction was carried out using the cantilever method, with segments being built outward from two piers, each segment tied to the previous one by high-strength steel tendons. In the centre the two cantilevers did not meet but stopped short, leaving a space into which the builders placed a concrete beam to complete the span. The design represents a major post-World War II innovation in bridge engineering, but the bridge itself is not of great historical significance.
The modern London Bridge isn't particularly photogenic, tho' the views from the bridge are second only to Waterloo Bridge. From London Bridge, you'll enjoy spectacular views of Tower Bridge, The City of London, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast and London City Hall. Too, there is a nice sturdy ledge for you to steady your camera for the perfect shot. For the mentioned highlights, London Bridge is indeed one of the best places to photograph London.

Friday night's in London are usually sacred. The end of the week means relaxing at home after hectic days at work, or any number of after-hours activities. You're never short of things to do in London, especially if you are visiting for a short time.
That said, allow me to suggest 'Friday Lates' at the British Museum. And, when I say lates, it's only 8:30 pm late. You'll still have time for dinner afterwards and a night on the town. Add a bit of culture Friday evenings when the museum hosts a nice range of lectures, discussions, film screenings, and special music and dance performances. Most of the activities revolve around current exhibitions at the British Museum, so check what's on before you go.
Do keep in mind not all galleries are open during late hours at the British Museum, but rest assured you won't be disappointed. Included below is the list of the galleries opened late on Fridays. Feel free to download the list to take along with you during your visit.
Why visit the British Museum on Friday night? First of all, you'll avoid the crowds. With over eight million exhibits in the museum, it'll be difficult to see it all and even more so with thousands of other visitors. During the late opening, you can take your time whilst drinking in the vast amount of artefacts.
The Egyptian collection is one of the finest (and largest) in the world. When you have the museum to yourself, you'll have the time to absorb the specially curated treasures. You'll discover stone tablets from the ancient Library of Alexandria, reliefs of lions from Assyria dating back to the seventh century, sculptures from the Parthenon, the first depiction of Jesus as well as artefacts recovered from the Sutton Hoo Viking ship burial.
The beauty of visiting the British Museum on a Friday night is you'll avoid the throngs of people who nonsensically whip out their mobile phones for a selfie with the Rosetta Stone. And if you are a consummate selfie-taker, you'll have no fear of photo bombers. Just don't climb the Parthenon for your next viral selfie. All joking aside, you can walk through one of the finest collections of humanity and enjoy your time in peace.
I think your visit to the British Museum deserves the enriching experience you'll have with few others around. Walk through all the world's continents and ancient eras of human development and civilisations.
I've visited the museum on several occasions after normal hours. Each time I've captured interesting images of the Great Court, which is fascinating all by itself. On this night, I basically had the British Museum to myself.

After visiting out west, my sister returned home even more inspired than ever. One of the things she learned about was the beauty of flax fiber. She had signed up for an online class, perfectly scheduled to be held during the 2020 lockdown. Eileen was able to use flax fiber to create pieces that are both unique and lovely. This is one of her creations.

If you love London Night Photography and capturing light streams, Oxford Street is a perfect place for you to be with your camera.
The best time to be in Oxford Street is during rush hour as there is a constant flow of double-decker buses, one after another, that pass by. Set up your camera in the middle of Oxford Street where there are proper pedestrian crossings. The crossing will also be the place where the traffic lights are and there is a slightly elevated concrete platform if you will. Stay on this small platform and you will be safe.
Once you are set up, photograph away! I do recommend a tripod or some means to steady your camera when you are on Oxford Street. When I am here, it is one of the few times I have a tripod with me.
Two words of caution. As buses rush by, expect a strong movement of air that could sway your camera. Hold on to your camera! And, even if you use a tripod, you might want to put your camera strap around your neck or secure it to your arm.
Also, do not be surprised (or alarmed) if a grumpy bus driver yells at you out their window. It happened to me. "You're distracting the bus drivers don't you know?" I simply smiled and waved. That may have upset her more. The incident did not deter me from taking another hundred photos.
Oxford Street has never been one of my destinations. In fact, during the day I avoid it at all costs because it is like Main Street on steroids. If you are visiting London for the first time, give Oxford Street a go but don't expect much except for crowds unless your destination is Selfridge's. Seriously, unless you must, don't add Oxford Street to your list of things to do in London.
