I have only crappy photos, but it doesn´t really matter.
In a month I will be able to go after new images. Now it´s just chaotic. But it´s a good chaos =D

One of the most beautiful video clips ever, and an amazing song!
Street without cars. Without people. Different angle of view. Vertical becomes horizontal in a parallel world.
The Sunday Challenge this week was parallels. Ive always wanted a reason to shoot this particular section of an old theatre just down the road from me! It all looks a bit wonky but its actually like that! Im trying to find some history on it but so far, Ive come up blank!
Many parallel lines in this picture. This was taken outside the E2 building at the University of California, Santa Cruz campus.
Parallels in Texture
The Cajun Pass provides the setting for this textured landscape. On a cloudy day, at 4,000 feet (1219 m), there wasn’t much sunlight to give a lot of contrast to the hills and mountains in the area. Rather than throw this one away, I decided to sepia tone the image and enhance it with a texture. The texture is a product of the talented ~Brenda-Starr~. It is called Free Texture #163 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brenda-starr/4838652783/sizes/l/)
~Brenda-Starr~ , thank you.
An artist is a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities related to creating art, practicing the arts and/or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a practitioner in the visual arts only. The term is often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (less often for actors). "Artiste" (the French for artist) is a variant used in English only in this context. Use of the term to describe writers, for example, is certainly valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like criticism.
Many of the projects I have been working on lately have been large jobs taking a great deal of planning and pre-work, testing materials etc. It was nice to work on this quick piece for a change. Why 42? No reason, just fit nicely into that rectangular block form. Niels Shoe Meulman is the master of this style of calligraphy except his goto letter is 'n' repeated over and over.
This was done using a pilot parallel pen using pilot ink on Borden & Riley #234 bleed-proof paper 11" x14". This was completely hand done, no digital work (except for black post processed version). If you ZOOM IN CLOSELY you can see the differences between each letter, pencil marks, and in some cases track marks left by the Pilot pen.
I really like the finish of the original. And I have noticed from previous works that in terms of lightfast ink quality, the black pilot ink holds up quite well to sunlight. The only downside to this ink that that it is not waterproof therefore it would need to be sealed or framed -- I decided to frame it. If you wet it, it is ruined. This ink also bleeds on most paper except this Borden & Riley paper which is excellent, and also holds up great over time. The paper also is great for fine sharp tips and will not splatter ink on up strokes. It is a stiffer than normal paper, almost like a plastic in feel. It has a very white color in appearance. And the size of the paper fit perfectly into the 11" x 14" inexpensive frame.
The key to doing this piece is repetition and design. I designed the piece on a separate page. I quickly lined the final sheet with pencil marks and a set and t square, then I inked each s separately remembering the overall shape that I tried to duplicate each time. I did the red s first. This original was my second try. I liked the first one, but wanted to perfect it on the second try.
The version on a BLK background was digitally post processed.
Great fun! Now I need to decide where to hang it.
Cheers
Steve
P.S. By the way I am posting on Calligraphica.org. Some amazing talent there and I am so happy to be a part of that group. So if you are on Tumblr please check out calligraphica.org/post/86641263641/calligraphica-letters-... and reblog or send me a favourite / note.
I combined the two (good halves) of photos together and added a little splatter effect to the person walking. I can't figure out what or why, but the two photos just seem to work out so well together
Champion ploughman David Chappell demonstrating the art at his Hatfield Woodhouse farm near Doncaster. He is astride Blossom, his Massey Ferguson 420 tractor.
Hemsworth-born David, who has been ploughing competitively for more than half a century, is a former British National conventional ploughing champion and has taken part in the World Ploughing Contest. He is also a gifted coach and a master judge.
Originally built in 1926, the bridge was marked inactive in 1974 for safety reasons. The children of the nearby Pedee school initiated a campaign to save the bridge, and eventually a ballot was passed to save it.
In 1976, it was moved from its original location and placed parallel to the new concrete bridge curently in use.
It now serves foot traffic in the little roadside park, and there are a couple of picnic tables inside.

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Parallel Lines
The dare on this one is "Try to find something in nature that displays parallel lines."
What it took:
I stepped out of the shower Tuesday morning and was combing my hair when I realised I could use myself as a model for this one. Or rather, my hair. I'm part of nature, right?
I set up the camera on a tripod in the bathroom and stood in the bathtub so I wouldn't drip too much on the floor. A towel got enlisted so I could adjust the camera, though I used a remote to actually take the photos.
I experimented with a comb, but I decided that it looked more natural to just run my fingers through the wet hair to make my parallel lines.
I did a couple with flash, but decided that they made the wet hair too shiny, so this was taken using ambient lighting (from the fluorescent bathroom light and some from the window). Post processing was just fixing the white balance.
I have some shots of me smiling that are probably cuter, but this zombie-shot amuses me every time I look at it, so that's what you get. ;)
Men exercise on a streetside "fitness centre".
Dalian, Sept 2008
I feel I'm neither finding many street situations right now, nor composing well what I do find, but I got sufficient motivation last night to wander for 2km through downtown Dalian with a 50mm (80mm on DSLR). Although when I began taking photos seriously I used almost nothing but a 50mm prime lens, these days having now used wide angle a lot, I seem to find it harder to "see" this distance. With a wide you first get in close to the subject then try and frame it with whatever geometry, blocks of space, colour, or any significant details around it. With a 50mm though you kinda have to pick the frame first, and stand back. Having learned to get "in there" it feels odd now to have to stand back. I might even sell my 50mm.
In a couple of days I go to Beijing, then Pingyao, then fly down to Guizhou province, and then maybe more places afterwards. So this will be my last activity on Flickr for a while. Hopefully I'll bring back plenty to upload as i'll be shooting projects.
ravenglass-railway.co.uk/ Many regard the seven-mile line as the most beautiful train journey in England. One thing is for certain, for those who visit the Lake District and never venture beyond Windermere and Bowness they are certainly missing something special. Our part of the Western Lake District is a quieter, calmer place, an area of outstanding natural beauty, pretty villages and home to England's highest mountains.
Most visitors start their journey at Ravenglass, often calling in the Turntable café to enjoy the best in home-baking. The trains travel from Ravenglass across tidal Barrow Marsh, home to many birds, including oyster catchers and ringed plovers. The first intermediate station at Muncaster Mill is a request stop. Passing the old water-mill, now a private residence, the train wends its way into Miterdale, still a haven for red squirrels and far away from roads, cars and other signs of modern life. Views of craggy Muncaster Fell dominate, although all should look out for our unique boat-type shelter at Miteside halt.
Probably the most spectacular point of all in Miterdale is Rock Point, a place where the line swings around a rugged promontory high above the river and affording good views of the Scafell range, particularly in winter. The train passes over Walk Mill summit and the line heads straight as an arrow before reaching Irton Road, the main passing place on the line. Look out for Saddleback pigs foraging on the adjacent land!
Irton Road station, the only original building on the line, serves the western end of Eskdale Green village. From here, the line falls some 20 feet to the valley of the River Esk and the skyline is dominated from now by craggy Harter Fell which stands some 2160 feet above sea level. After passing through Eskdale Green Station the engines climb the steepest section of the line known as Hollinghow Bank.
The scene changes once more, as the lone hugs the northern side of valley, providing a break between the ruggedness of the bracken clad hillside and the softer, farmland below. The local Herdwick sheep abound, deer are frequently seen in the woods and buzzards circle in the sky.
A further request stop at Fisherground, mainly used by holidaymakers staying at the nearby campsite, follows, before the line arrives at Gilbert's cutting, undoubtedly one of the most photographic points on the line. The railway runs on a ledge above the valley road, passing the old 250' quarry face at Beckfoot and a final request stop.
The last section of the line takes the form of a further steep climb through Beckfoot Wood, before levelling out and curving round to the new station and visitor centre at Dalegarth, which nestles at the foot of England's highest mountains.
