Apologies for falling behind with Flickr - I'm struggling to find energy when I get home from work, which is pretty hectic - hopefully I'll acclimatise soon ... in the meantime please forgive me as I take longer to get round to visit streams - HBW everyone!!
Today, I'm thinking about my father, Tony, because it is his birthday. I always had a rather formal relationship with my father. He seemed a fairly distant and intimidating figure. He was often away from home with his work. And, when he was home he was often working in his study. Then my parents divorced so I saw even less of him.
He was born in London and grew up there during the Second World War. He had a lovely English accent. And a very English sense of humour - he loved The Goons, in particular. He migrated to Australia with his parents, when he was a teenager. He attended university in NSW and then started work in the IT industry, where he remained for the rest of his working life. He was passionate about IT and worked to support the introduction to Australia of many technologies that are now taken for granted, e.g., personal computers, ATMs, eftpost. In 2001, he was awarded the Pearcey Medal in recognition of his life-time commitment to the Australian IT industry.
Apart from his passion for his work, he also loved music and played the piano. He was a keen gardener, particularly interested in growing bonsai trees from the seedlings he'd collect on his daily jog [He was a fitness fanatic]. His love of the outdoors was his down-fall: he died of melanoma in February 2005.
My only memento of him is the ball-point pen in the top photo, which was part of a set with a fountain pen that he used all his life. The bottom photo is of Brad's laptop. I chose to combine the two photos because computers and his pen are the things I associate most strongly with my dad - apart from the smell of Old Spice.
I think it's somehow fitting that my current job is in a project related to a new data management program and I share my office with IT guys. I'm pretty sure I inherited my finickiness, maths ability and logical streak from my dad [I wish I'd inherited his passion for fitness ... lol].

23 mars 2012, bureau, heure de midi … Une envie de faire le tour du quartier, près du parc Léopold à Bruxelles.
Ils viennent d’installer les grues sur la place Jean Rey pour le futur gros chantier immobilier.
En levant les yeux, je vois un superbe reflet rouge dans la force du bleu des fenêtres de ce bâtiment administratif.
Mais comment rendre cela … ? Très difficile à cette époque en 2012, à mes débuts photos.
Incroyable de voir les dizaines de centaines de photos qui dorment sur notre disque dur …

23 March 2012, my office, lunch time. I wanted to go for a walk, near the Leopold parc in Brussels.
They have just installed the big cranes on the Jean Rey square for the future yard of luxury flats.
Looking up, I saw a strong red reflection superimposed in the blue windows of an office building.
How to capture this? Not easy at that time in 2012, it was my beginning in photography.
Incredible these tens of hundreds of photo which sleep on my hard drive.

We parked near this farmyard while we were visiting Binham Priory recently. The golden orange roof slates really cuaght my eye and stood out well against the rural background. Looks better viewed on black if you have a mo! Thanks to Kerstin Frank Art for the canvas texture

Strangely, big cats always seem to pose looking into the distance to the right when I want to photograph them:
"Life is like a box of chocolates. Cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you’re stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down till there’s nothing left to eat. Sure, once in a while there’s a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee, but they’re gone too fast and taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. And if you’re desperate enough to eat those all you’re left with is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers." - CGB Spender
On our trip to Toronto, Matt and I lucked into finding these Sideshow X-Files figures at Silver Snail Comics on Queen Street. I've wanted them for a while but online they cost a fortune. I bought Mulder and Matt bought the Cigarette Smoking Man (CGB Spender). I shot this last night as an experiment. I can't wait to take them outdoors and get a fog machine or something. :D
Setup: Two black t-shirts draped on a table and box. SB-600 shot from behind and through some burning incense wafted around in the air. I had Matt hold a small lantern camera right to light his face a little so it wasn't just a solid silhouette. Post-processed a bunch.
Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust...
- Opeth (Black Rose Immortal)
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

This is not a pop album.
Multiple images merged into one.
I've never really been fascinated by birds, leave alone something of nondescript coloring sinisterly hovering overhead, like something out of "Omen". However that was then. Ever since I've acquired my mechanical 3rd-eye, I've begun to "watch" birds casually (feels like "stalking", sometimes) - and for the common ones in my neighborhood, I am learning much simply by observing them endlessly
As for the Common Brown Hawk (CHEEL in Bengali), I find they are, by most counts, gentle and non-confrontational. And, instead of finding them ominous, I find them incredibly graceful as they soar the farthest, longest and swoop down with incredible speed and precision.
This is my 3rd upload on flickr where I have merged several shots of the bird's graceful gliding movements in one frame.

Voici une des photos que je n’aurais jamais espérée. Rassembler mes parents, dans leur naturel qui a toujours été simple, avant qu’ils ne partent.
D’autant plus inespéré qu’avec une vie comme la mienne qui ne fût pas très rectiligne, il ne m’a pas toujours été facile de faire comprendre mes choix, mes attentes.
Il aura fallu de mon côté beaucoup plus de maturité, et pour eux des accidents de santé importants, pour que nous puissions petit à petit parler, sans crainte d’un jugement trop catégorique.
Il existe un moment dans la vie où finalement il nous revient d’être les parents de nos parents, quand nous devons veiller sur eux beaucoup plus.
Dans cet esprit d’ouverture que je recherchais avec eux, je leur ai parlé encore une fois de mon hobby photo et du bien qu’il me procurait à plusieurs niveaux … Aussi de mes souhaits et de mes visions …
Mes parents me soutiennent maintenant, m’accompagnent maintenant partout où je fais des photos …
Cette photo est la première avec mon nouvel appareil D5300, et une nouvelle acquisition dans la famille de mes objectifs.
Lors d’une visite à mes parents pour leur montrer mes nouvelles acquisitions, j’ai eu l’immense privilège de rassembler papa et maman sur la même photo, chez eux, dans leur naturel … 149 années de vie à eux deux, 75 pour lui et 74 pour elle.
Une photo qui me tient à cœur énormément, en premier car j’ai encore la chance de les avoir tous les deux, et parce que je vois dans leur yeux le plaisir qu’ils ont à voir leur fils enfin heureux dans un hobby. Ils l’auront vu de leur vivant …

Here is a photo that I never expected. Take a shot of my parents, in their natural behavior, that has always been simple, before they leave.
Even more unexpected that with a life like mine, which was not very straight, it has not always been easy for me to explain my choices, my expectations.
I had to become a lot more mature, and on their side many heavy health accidents, so that we can gradually speak without a fear of categorical judgment.
There is a time in life when we finally play the role of parent of our parents, when we have to take care of them a lot much.
This is in this spirit of openness I was looking for with them, that I explained them once again my hobby for photography and all the benefit I gain at various levels from this practice ... We alo exchange on my wishes and my visions.
My parents support me now, and they accompany me wherever I take pictures.
This is the first picture with my new D5300 camera, and a new acquisition in my lenses family.
During a visit to my parents to show them my new acquisitions, I had the privilege to gather mum and dad on the same photo, at home in their natural environment... 149 years of life between them, 75 for him and 74 for her.
A photo very emotional, first because I still have the chance to have both of them, and because I see in their eyes they have the pleasure to see their son finally happy in a hobby. They will have seen this in their lifetime.

the last of that beautiful bunch of flowers that have been making me happy for over a week.

Just me playing around in PS with a shot that didn't really work out how I wanted it to. I had thought at the time I took it how I wished I had my holga with me instead.

Gorgeous and simply perfect mugs from my favourite pottery in Konstanz. Two more pictures on my blog
A sample from a casual fashion shoot with some friends early this year. I'm trying my hand at heavy postprocessing, a weak attempt at imitating Manny Librodo's style. Thanks to Chelsie, a very cooperative and game model. She is also a store manager for women clothing and accessories.
When I postprocessed some macro shots of this "tiny" moth-guy (only 2-3mm small), I realized it looks like an angry bull before an attack. (Although this moth was a very quiet and peaceful fellow letting me take long-time exposures patiently...).
Luckily I found a photo of a torero (and a bull - originally), taken by Mait Jüriado, which seemed to fit perfectly for this project.
Let me know what you think of it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
for slider sunday. this started out being one of those elliptical bumper stickers with a glass on top of it.......began by making the glass as high key as i could. noticed that there were some what appeared to be fingerprint smudges on the lower parts of the R. in an attempt to get them gone, i slid the sliders and came up with this.
I want to make it look surreal. So I did some post processes for this photo.
This image is a merge of two layers with little displace of position. The top layer was desaturated and add some green tint. And the second layer is black and white.
