An intaglio is an engraving cut deeply into the surface of a hard material (as stone) and is very much where the idea of cameos came from. In Georgian times through until the mid Nineteenth Century, young English men of wealth and privilege who had come of age, did what was known in society as "The Grand Tour": a tour of Europe with Italy as a key destination, undertaken with a tutor or responsible adult to further educate the young man in classical art. They often returned to England with many treasures including one or more Italian intaglios, which usually featured either a classical scene or a classical male profile.
In truth, this intaglio is a Victorian cameo from the 1860s. It is a recent acquisition and in order for it to come into my possession it really was all about being in the right place at the right time. I quite enjoy fossicking through charity shops, looking for overlooked treasures. A few weeks before Christmas I happened to be in just such a pursuit when, in a cabinet full of pretty but fairly worthless costume jewellery and cheap silver pieces, I came across a real treasure! This cameo, mounted in gold, is hand carved from agate, and features the profile of a Victorian gentleman, which is far less common than the ladies you usually see. I thought it might have been Shakespeare at first, but after some research on this piece, it is mid-Victorian (circa 1860). It would have been made in Italy as a keepsake of the journey there.
A cameo is a material that is carved with a raised relief that often depicts a profile of a face or a mythical scene. Cameos are commonly made out of shell, coral, stone, lava, or glass. Cameo jewellery has varying quality factors including the intricacy of the carving to the quality of the setting. This one would have been in the top range for its fine details.
Even though its original ornate gold surrounding setting has been removed and probably sold for scrap after the cameo was damaged (you can see a crack across the agate from his nose), the most important part of the piece (for me anyway) has survived.
The Caption of Capture
Capture the captured moments without making it captive.
Memories that are captured should be feelings captured in the moment
Feelings to remind of a moment, good or bad
‘Good’ because it will help you smile for the moment to move along in life.
‘Bad’ because it will help you remember where you do not want to be.
Never be held captive by your memories
Where you have been is who you are. If you can’t learn who you are, then
you should keep making memories, so you can learn from those.
Sharing is encouraged. Please feel free to share this image with family and friends.
This is a hi-res image, so you can view it large/full screen.
It would be great if you could take a look at my other photos (www.fb.com/lowther.andrew/photos_stream)

Wonderful day exploring Budapest History Museum. Perfect time for a photo. Thank you for viewing my photo.
I got this picture-frame from my creative sweet son and I'm very happy with it!
He photoshopped two pictures of me with the text: "Happy Mother's Day.
Love him very much!!

I was originally thinking that I should flip the LCD over and cut a whole for it in the display housing, but I like how this ended up better.
A few more of these mini-movement multiple-exposures that I have been playing with recently, for your amusement and, perhaps, delight.
This is a ten image one looking straight up at the sky in some woods near home, taken with the click-twist-click technique.
Of the set I think this is my favourite - another space exploration....
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image :)

Story, 1978, is an oil painting on canvas. It is 48 x 60 inches, actually not among Guston’s largest works. Since I do have the information: the original photo was taken by Olivia McEwan for Hyperallergic online. I’ve always been fond of this artist’s work.
Taken on a very cold and breezy October morning 2012.
This is a digitally blended image using elements from 5 of 9 manual exposures ranging from 0.5 secs to 120 seconds at f5.6 .
Many masks and layers were used to bring in the appropriate parts of the other images in order to ensure I had a full dynamic range in the image (within self-imposed artistic boundaries).
Overall I guess I must have spent 2 to 3 hours on this image over the course of 2 to 3 days.
One of the lessons I have learned ove the time I have been doing this sort of thing (12 months) is not to rush to publish. So many times I have produced an image and rushed to upload only to discover at some later stage that actually it is not really as good as I thought it was at the time I was processing it.

Hello flickr, its been a while. I’ve been very busy with work and some personal stuff lately that i always run out of time with my 365.
Some of my friends already saw my thing on flickr. Sometimes it bothers me that they've seen and read everything, but whatever. One time, I think i scared joyce a little, she thinks my ideas are morbid and daring. The other day she said “Don’t you have clothes?”
Last night i called mom. I wasn't expecting a good news, but to my disappointment i heard a bad news. It could’ve matched my title for the same day, I AM VERY MUCH DISAPPOINTED. Indeed, life’s a climb.
That night i was thinking i might be losing tract of my journey. But i will not let myself get stuck in the same place forever. I have to chase my dreams.
I was on explore- that’s according to someone who commented on the pic. I wanted to see it for myself, so i went to Explore, but i wasn’t able to see a single pic of mine. Bad timing I guess, maybe next time.

...and it turns on! No OS installed yet, but it does drop into firmware
(I pressed the power button, and quickly held down apple-option-o-f to drop it into open firmware)
A shop-window with two window dummies and a living lady managing the total look of the shop-window. I took a lot of moves of her. Amsterdam, 2016.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
Here are for a change not the pictures in the foreground but the frames . I love these old frames. They are made of old doors ... the cassette fields of it.
