It has been all work and no play, just recently. Accordingly, I'm behind on my project. And, as per the saying, it has made me a dull boy too.
Life has been full of academic, on-call and other work stuff; I'll spare you the details. Long evenings in the study, elbow grease and burning of various late night oils.
The one highlight of recent weeks was a dinner chez ZenasM, the redoubtable flickr-ite, and his equally delightful spouse. Our mutual families have been joking about us 'meeting an internet date' and developing a "bromance".
They are just jealous. Peter is a fine individual who I've met three times and I like him (and his wife) a great deal. Flickr has done me a big favour by our paths (and pathos) crossing.
Incidentally, snapped several fireworks a few weeks ago but they've been languishing on the camera. They weren't great shots; wrong lens, through front room window: I've taken better. But still better than nowt and nice to deviate from the norm.

About This Collection
This collection of photographs was the result of a happy mistake while walking through the Hakone Garden’s bamboo forest in Saratoga. I was messing around with my camera on manual mode, trying different angles and motions when I noticed the resulting images resembled impressionist paintings. I liked how the bamboo forest was implied though color, light and movement, so I sat there for a while and tried different things until I got the look I wanted. All of these photographs are single shots with very minor adjustments in Photoshop.
I will put up one piece every Monday, Thursday and Saturday for the next three weeks.
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to present Sgt.Janus – Spirit Breaker by Jim Beard. Part detective, part occultist, Janus is himself a man of mystery whose own past is shrouded and the motivations behind his calling kept hidden.
---
Sgt. Janus•Spirit-Breaker Vol. 1
Within this volume you will find eight tales as narrated by Sgt. Janus' clients, each with his or her own perspective on this uncanny hero and his amazing career. Filled with suspense, terror and agonizing pathos, each a solid mesmerizing journey into the unknown world beyond.
Featuring a cover by artist Jeff Herndon and eight stunning illustrations by Eric Johns, Sgt.Janus – Spirit Breaker is the first in a new series by one of today’s leading stars in New Pulp Fiction.
“…Beard’s fiction is anything but pat and routine. While he may deliberately conjure the spirits of authors of Victorian and Edwardian occult fiction before him, Beard’s prose is fresh and entirely modern in his, at times, frank and unsettling tales of the wages of his characters’ past sins. Each story breezes by and like the best tales told round the campfire, it leaves the reader hungry for more.” William Patrick Maynard (The Terror of Fu Manchu & The Destiny of Fu Manchu.)
There is a pathos about any object that once had employment and utility, but has fallen into disuse. Of what industrial process was this contrivance once a part? I have no idea, but it seems to bear a sort of family resemblance to the mangles one used to see in old-fashioned flagstoned kitchens when I was a boy ...next to the sink, with its spluttering brass cold water tap. Coal mining and pottery had been the two mainstays of Swadlincote, Derbyshire, where the photograph was taken on Saturday 3rd January 1970.

I am pretty sure this is where I would hide me lucky charms if I ever managed to get them back from that ill mannered leprechaun. It was supposed to be a friendly game of "who can throw the boulder farther", but he cheated and ran off with me lucky charms. Who knew he had magical powers?! I hear he even got his own cereal ... pssh! Whatever, I like Coco Pebbles better anyway.
He was a French Baroque painter, sculptor, architect and engineer. His sculpture expressed emotion, pathos and drama.

Every so often you come across a place that sends you back in time. I was walking around San Francisco a few years ago, looking for a place to live and came across Grace Cathedral at the top of a hill overlooking the city. It was such a juxtaposition of thriving urban culture and medieval stone architecture that my mind did one of those upside down triple axle somersaults and landed in a different era. I was transported to the times when Knights Templar scorched the Earth and damsels were still in distress. I am sure someone is going to say that Grace Cathedral is actually a fine example of blagh, blagh architecture, but I don't care. To me it is the place where some religious belief or another was securely fortified and defended against a quickly diminishing pagan world. Too bad the endless pursuit of religious propagation had such a heavy hand.
I took this picture recently and wanted to process it in a way that would accentuate the dark times it must have lived in. The darkened angry sky surrounding the cold stone fortification almost looks like an admonishment of the ideals safeguarded inside. But rather than shrinking back, the structure stands tall and menacingly imposing in defiance. I like how the labyrinth in the foreground seems to represent the search for spiritual truth. Coming back to the present time, it is awesome how Grace Cathedral in actuality represents an open-minded search for God and the inclusion of all faiths. Visiting this gorgeous cathedral leaves you with the comforting feeling that we might be on the right track after all.

Not too long ago, I was in Carmel with my family and I took the opportunity to visit Point Lobos State Reserve. I wanted to catch a sunset, but the park closes well before the sun goes down and the thought of being taken unawares by a mountain lion got me nervous, so I just spent a few hours climbing over this and that to look for interesting things to photograph. I found this little rock formation right before I left for the day. It seemed to me like some sort of stoic monolith looking out into the sea, as if waiting for something that may never arrive.

This is another shot of Oakland’s ultra-modern Cathedral of Christ the Light. I spent a good hour here roaming around with complete freedom and I was just about to leave when I saw this guy standing at one end of the church, waiting for his wife to come meet him. It all seemed very romantic and the futuristic dome gave the scene a cool feel. I love this church.
The Tombs of the Kings is located about 2 km north-west of the Paphos harbor in the city of Paphos, which is within the Paphos district of Cyprus. It was built near the Mediterranean Sea during the Hellenistic period as part of the ancient city of Nea Paphos. This necropolis was used as a burial ground during the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
You can almost feel the pathos dripping off this lonely chair, can't you?

It’s that time when your boots go to the back of the closet and strappy sandals come to the front. Times are tough or a new spring wardrobe may be unattainable but no necessity for your style to suffer.
This time at the store got me thinking about...

A pathos-laden scene from the Konkani play "Tulsi", which was staged by the Kalaakul troupe on the inaugural day of the two-day national seminar on "Scripts & Languages of modern India, with special reference to Konkani" at the Kalaangann in Mangalore (March 10-11, 2012). Each one of the several actors enacted his/her role to perfection... The style, diction, lighting, background effect and props... every single element of good theatre was there to produce the desired effect. "Tulsi" was based on a novel written by the late Ravindra Kelekar depicting the plight of a hapless village woman and her child and the vicious environs surrounding her.

This is a shot I've been waiting to post. I know this doesn't fit my recent (self-imposed, stupidly) restriction on abstract-minimalist photos but what the hey!
I shot this man in Mylapore, near the MRTS station, during the 18th Chennai Photowalk. I hope I did a good job of capturing the, um, pathos.
After shooting this, I did go and show him the photo, but he wasn't very interested and waved me away.
