I know everyone comes away with the same shot of Yosemite Valley, but I had to try my hand at it. I made all my friends wake up at 4:30 and drive over to the vista point to ensure we would get a good spot. The problem was that it was the first day of daylight savings when the hour changes and the sun rise was an hour later than we all expected so we ended up standing in the dark cold for almost three hours waiting for the sun to rise. By the time it was coming up, all the guys were frozen and fed up with all the waiting, so I took a few quick last minute shots before a full mutiny ensued. I am glad I persisted =)
Series : Last Orders
From a site of two derelict buildings in the dOKUMENTA city of Kassel that over 40 years ago housed BIER GROSSHANDLUNG NEUENHAGEN, a wholesale German beer distribution company.
A dear flickr contact who runs a construction company in the process of clearing out and renovating this site generously provided me access to photograph on August 16, 2012.
"Last Orders" is what pub owners call out to their customers, a few minutes before closing time.
Never in history has man been taken as seriously as in prophetic thinking. Man is not only an image of God; he is a perpetual concern of God. The idea of pathos adds a new dimension to human existence. Whatever man does affects not only his own life, but also the life of God insofar as it is directed to man. The import of man raises him beyond the level of mere creature. He is a consort, a partner, a factor in the life of God.
-The Prophets, Abraham Joshua Heschel
I couldn't resist the pathos of this image taken through the broken window of an abandoned home in New Brunswick last August.
Arriving in Pathos in Spring the sites and open places are ablaze with colour.

My hometown Kellinghusen is full of reminiscences to the military abyss. Transfiguration for us.

Street Photography Now Project - Instruction #46
"Make a picture that is funny and sad at the same time. A photograph that simultaneously evokes pathos, irony and humour." - Jeff Mermelstein
Although my B-side is somewhat funnier and certainly lighter, I am submitting this one as a response to Instruction #46. I thought it was funny when I took it, but the more I look at it the more I think it is a sad demonstration of what the world of some people has come to.
In his later version of the Theseus myth, Canova shows a scene of turbulent struggle. Theseus raises his club in his right hand ready to strike, while already kneeling on the chest of the centaur, who is arched backwards and lying on the ground. The dominant shape of the design is a large triangle formed ofTheseus's right foot, the centaur's left hand propping himself up, and the helmet as the apex.
Although Canova's group resembles the Laocoön group of Antiquity in its expression of pathos and in the presentation of strain in a duel, the rhetorical and scholarly elements dominate in Canova's style, and it was on these that academic tradition would later be based.

As photographers, we all understand the interplay of negative and positive space. When I took the shot, I was thinking about the pathos of the scene, but as I worked in Photoshop, my reaction to it changed. Slowly the grave lost is melancholy, I began to think of this as contemplation on the idea that birth and death might be more in balance and harmony than we normally appreciate. Perhaps they are just two expressions of the one, same, much greater, reality. And then I thought, “Without death, the birth of Christ would have very little meaning. After all it is his resurrection after death that is all important.” So for Christian, having death in the picture must not be such a sad thing after all. Not being a person of faith, I then thought, “Throughout history; the celebration of the Solstice was always linked to the preceding darkness. It was only the loss of light during the preceding months that motivated the celebration.” Which made me think that perhaps the message of the Christmas Season is that without death, life has very little significance? That in turn led me to think that perhaps death might be the one Christmas gift we are all born with, a gift that forces us to seek meaning in life, and it is this search which leads us to art, another gift. Is art how we as humans attempt to transcend the grave? All this eventually led me led me to ask, is possible that the overarching message of Christmas is that, there is a spirit, a driving force, inside us all that can and sometimes does transcend the grave, so we should not live in fear of the grave but celebrate this very short gift of life and the perspective we have been given on the value of that gift.
As photographers, in the era of the internet, we can use our art, not just to give meaning to our own life, but to share that meaning, insight and connectedness with people everywhere. Somehow all this convoluted logic led me to believe that all this was sufficient to reason for me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
This Scania was new to West Midlands Travel as H225 LOM. During its time in the Midlands it wore a version of Birmingham Transport livery for a period.
Now part of the CitySightseeing Paphos fleet and seen parked up at the Harbour bus station one breezy evening.
Strobist: One SB910 left behind subject, aiming on chest for muscles, one SB910 with silver umbrella (mounted reflecting the light) to fill up the gaps in the daylight. Used a Honeywell Industrial Ventilator as a windmachine, connected to a camping generator.
Tried to create some imagery with ancient greek iconography, but incorporated in contemporary switzerland (yes, that's how it looks everywhere here.)
