Judging from the turnout of photographers on the Promenade in Brooklyn Heights tonight, just about every Flickreen in New York must have a shot along the same lines as this one, textured in more or fewer megapixels. You can't avoid taking it; it's mesmerizing and beautiful, and the night is perfect.
September 11th is one of the most difficult days of the year for many of us. Four years ago I stood in nearly exactly this spot and watched a gray cloud that completely obscured this entire view of Manhattan. The day was glorious, the weather benevolent. Both of the Twin Towers had already fallen.
Four years ago I stood here for close to three hours. In that entire stretch of time, no one spoke.
(Added 9/16/2005 to the Cream of the Crop group as my most "Interesting" and most favorited photo.)
(And please ignore the "Delete Me" group comments below - it's a slappy little Flickr game that gets tiresome fast.)
This photo has been #2 on Interestingness for the date of September 11, 2005, for many months.
Summer, 2011: According to Flickr and Yahoo, this shot of mine is one of the top 7 photos out of all the billions of images hosted on this site. Which is wacky, but fun. Many news sources have identified it as the third most popular photo on Flickr.
I've been wanting to head back to Wynnum to photograph these poles for quite some time but either the tide was wrong or I was working so yesterday afternoon I decided to give it a go. To begin with I was knee deep in water and by the time I was finished I was standing in mud.
When I was coming out of the water a couple who had been walking along the esplanade called out to me to find out what this crazy lady had been doing. They told me that joggers, walkers and cyclists all were watching me wondering what on earth I had been doing. This my friends is what I was doing and unless you get there literally you don't get the shots. Ahhhh at least I gave them all something to talk about. :)
In this work, I sought to capture the essence of pure geometry through a play of white lines on a black background. My intention was to create visual tension through the rhythmic progression of lines that seem to converge toward an invisible point. I wanted the viewer's gaze to be guided through this rigorous sequence, while leaving room for personal interpretation of movement and space.
The apparent simplicity hides a reflection on order and chaos, where each line exists in a precise relationship with the others. I deliberately chose a strong contrast to accentuate the sharpness of the lines and create an immersive, almost hypnotic visual experience. This image represents for me a meditation on how simple structures can evoke complex sensations of depth and movement in a two-dimensional space.
It's not easy to spot an interesting to look at photograph ... You simply have to be able to see the world around you under a totally new perspective ... You have to be able to see "metaphorically" ...
In the above frame most people see two trees relatively close to one another ...
I see two parallel (in any sense of the term) lives enjoying each other's company under an amazing morning sky ...
The first concept is reality ... The second is photography !!!!

The minimum number of traffic signals we have to go through to enter the Bruce Highway north out of Brisbane is four. One of them is controlled by this traffic signal box, only a couple of kilometres from us. Most traffic signal control boxes in Brisbane now have murals painted on them by locals with some local significance. On that basis though, the mural on the other side of snow capped peaks is about as far from reality as it gets.
I only noticed this one recently, because this set of traffic lights demands attention, often a bit wobbly and unpredictable! So I stopped this morning and took a shot, of course getting all sorts of gawks from motorists stopped at the lights. As usual, with a DSLR, you can be construed as a terrorist and demand that look, honking of horns......
It did strike me that perhaps artificial intelligence (AI) is operating in parallel universes, after all, this one’s characteristics remind me of another Explore. I have no idea of its local significance in reality, there are some natural environments nearby including the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands which do deserve a good Explore.
I set out to capture some buds on the side of our driveway as the rain started to fall, and this scene sort of materialised in the viewfinder and the shutter clicked...!
And in case you're wondering what it is, this is New Zealand Flax; I'll tell you about it one day!
Keep smiling, thanks for visiting my Site, and thanks for taking the time and trouble to leave such kind Comments. It's always nice to hear from you...!
I took this inside the O2 Dome (formerly the Millennium Dome) in London recently. It's basically a big advertising sign, where waves of colour flow up and along these spheres.
I was in London to visit some friends and also to see my prize-winning photo My Eyes on the Prize? in the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2007 exhibition at The Mall Galleries. Buckingham Palace is at the end of the road, and evidently Prince Charles and Prince Phillip pop in to the gallery on occasion, so maybe I'll be shooting some portraits by Royal appointment? ;-)

My life as parallel universes.
Everywhere I choose to go, there is something
happening in a parallel route.
Something that I miss.
And I am not there….
What have I missed? What is there in the
unchosen route?
And with that in mind, instead of enjoying
my chosen route, I'm busy trying to guess
what I'm missing.
So – I will re choose.
I will choose this time to focus on my route.
To be aware of what I gained by taking it.
This is my way of life now.
My choice – to cherish what I have.
The rest is nothing but illusion.
Here in Fairmont, Minnesota wedged between George Lake and Sisseton Lake, two railroads built their respective lines in the narrows and crossed Center Creek. A Union Pacific manifest freight passes between the lakes on the Northwestern Railroad grade that eventually was acquired by the UP in 1996. In the foreground is the Milwaukee Road, still used by Harsco Rail as a test track for rail equipment. The two railroads used to parallel each other from Fairmont to Welcome, but that is no longer the case. Canadian Pacific, the company operating the Milwaukee Road line (formerly DME/ICE), crosses the UP here in Fairmont then uses trackage rights from a switch downtown and west to Welcome before continuing towards Jackson, the namesake of the Jackson Subdivision.
