Shortly about me:
It’s my passion to create stories and bring back pictures of events, people and places that are rarely seen. It’s a combination of exploration, exposition and artistry that together create a life of adventure and excitement.
In my work it is imperative for me that information be accurate and the images must be respectful of the subject and viewer. My goal is to combine creativity with practicality to capture the best possible images to document events, tell a story, meet the picture editor's deadlines.

Anvil shooter Tim Ryan explains practical reasons for anvil shoots -- however, I've forgotten any of the practical ones. Practicalities aside, the primary reason to blow up an anvil is to watch a hundred pound slap of metal fly into the air.
32/52 Motion Bkur - over halfway through my self-set challenge and off to meet up with my accomplice, Sue (a.k.a. www.flickr.com/photos/46534600@N06/ ) for lunch today. I'm wondering if I should consider a 365 project next year, but the practicalities of juggling real life and keeping up with a 365 seem a bit daunting.
This is inspired by the vibrant, fun motion blur/panning shots, taken in supermarkets, of my brilliant contact Kevin, a.k.a. the Disgruntled Baker www.flickr.com/photos/disgruntledbaker/ . Not quite as I'd intended, nor as good as his, but not disappointed with it either as I was using my iPhone (I've found I have much more control over the background when you shoot motion blur with a DSLR or P&S, but doing that in your average English supermarket is pretty much a non-starter).
Thank you for any comments and/or favourites - I always appreciate them. Apologies for not being able to reciprocate at the moment. You can also visit me at www.facebook.com/LyndaHPhotography where I'll be posting images of our time in Italy and England.
This is our 1940s-vintage O'Keefe and Merritt stove. We purchased the gas range around 2003 when we remodeled our kitchen. It added a lot of style to the kitchen, and we got many compliments on it. After using it for 10 years, however, we are reluctantly getting a new gas range with a larger oven--practicality wins out over looks this time.
The Ford Tri-Motor, affectionately known as the "Tin Goose," was the largest civil aircraft in America when it started passenger service on August 2, 1926, with Stout Air Services. The aircraft's all-metal, corrugated aluminum construction and the prestigious Ford name made it immediately popular with passengers and airline operators. Noisy but reliable, the Ford played a major role in convincing the public of the safety and practicality of air travel.

This picture is of my grandfather Hiram Plunkett posing with his brand new, 1950 Chevrolet. Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac, in that order, were the names of General Motor’s five brands of cars in the 1950s. Americans learned the names of these cars in price order. The Chevrolet was the car for a young couple just getting started, without a lot of money, and possible a child on the way. Ideally, as the couple matured, the husband would be promoted and be able to move up on the social ladder, and the Chevrolet was traded for a higher class car, such as a Pontiac.
In addition cars representing social class, it was often a popular fad to get your picture made in front of your boyfriend or parents car when they bought a new one because it was an imitation of advertisements seen in popular magazines at the time. A majority of 1950s cars placed style over engineering, form ahead of function, and whimsy ahead of practicality. In the 1950s there were about 45 million households and 50 million cars. In 2000 there were about 110 million households , almost doubling the number from 1950 and 200 million cars, quadrupling the number from 1950.

I'm getting sick of digital. At least with my canon. So, I'm seriously considering a dslr, one of nikon's to be specific. (:
I just miss, miss, miss my film nikon but, unfortunately, I came to the realization that, for the practicality of this project, I don't think it will come into play.
I guess that just means I need to get my butt out there and film-photograph the winter wonderland that is taking over New England. (:

A spark of life, a spark of intuition – everything begins with a spark. Chevrolet’s all-new mini car is a new beginning, a car that challenges the conventional wisdom that little cars are either trendy or practical, either premium or good value. Spark changes the rules. It is as much about fun and fashion as it is about functionality. It offers style and all the latest in-car entertainment features as well as practicality, low consumption and low emissions. And it’s great value for money. read more>>

The Hyundai Tucson had two things going for it when it replaced the ix35 last year: sharp styling, and a so-bad-it's-good ad campaign that got people talking. But flashy looks and marketing pizazz don't count for much in the mid-sized SUV arena if they aren't backed up by day-to-day practicality. So how does the Tucson stack up as a family car?

This is the underground car park for the Buttermarket shopping centrre.
One night in 2007, when the car park and shops were closed, the lady in charge left her office to empty a coin machine. She returned quickly to the office without emptying it when she sensed movement. Anxiously she rang her boss, who came over within ten minutes. She let him into the premises and when they looked around, but no source of movement could be found. Locking up, he said he would ask to see the CCTV footage the next morning. Imagine their horror at seeing the shadows on the wall either side of the machine moving away with frenetic activity on the time-coded video. The boss said he did not know what to think. There were no windows, trees or moving lamps down there or anything else to explain the phenomenon. Deciding on practicality, he announced that no lone worker would be put in that such a poor situation to handle cash and would ensure a second member of staff would be on hand in future.

The 1st Series (1963-1966) was the fastest saloon of its time and was groundbreaking, opening a new segment in the automotive market. Adolfo and Omar Orsi conceived th Quattroporte, a car that combined the brand's racing heritage with the practicality and sophistication of a saloon. Giulio Alfieri, a key figure in Maserati's success, was entrusted with engineering, while Pietro Frua penned the design. The clean, elegant lines exuded understated sophistication while incorporating aerodynamics principles to enhance performance. It proved that a car could be a high-performance, luxurious, practical saloon. Its success inspired competitors like Mercedes, Jaguar and BMW to develop their own high-performance sedans, setting the stage for an entirely new class of automobiles.

Well, it's been a while!
There's been far too much going on, not bad - just busy, but flickr has had to take a back seat, which isn't a bad thing every now and then. Anyway, I'm in Barcelona at the moment (again), so I offer a set of images from La Catedral, a vast soaring edifice in the old (medieval) city. The astute amongst you will notice that these are digital. No I haven't moved away from film, I'm still shooting it, plenty of it in fact, but the film shots are likely to be some time away because of the practicalities involved. So you'll just have to make do with nice conventional digi shots for now. (Although I am working on less conventional digi shots too! ;)
I know I owe loads of flickr/emails. I'm working on it.

These Kinnauri Buddhist women were attending the P'howa teaching (transference of consciousness after death) of Ayang Rinpoche in Bodh Gaya, Bihar. They are always all-smiles, and always identifiable by their distinctive green topis. I also noticed that the men and women Kinnauris wear almost identical dress - topi, kurta, baggy salwar, a woolen waistcoat (no matter how hot it gets) and a shawl. I like the practicality and "tomboyish" quality of their dress.
Replica of the "Charlotte Dundas" at Arbroath Harbour. The Charlotte Dundas is regarded as the world's "first practical steamboat", the first towing steamboat and the boat that demonstrated the practicality of steam power for ships.
In 1801 William Symington patented a horizontal steam engine directly linked to a crank, and got the support of Lord Dundas to build a steamboat which would become famous as the Charlotte Dundas, named in honour of his Lordship's daughter.
The first sailing was on the Forth and Clyde canal in Glasgow on January 4, 1803, with Lord Dundas and a few of his relatives and friends on board. After some improvements, in March 1803 the Charlotte Dundas towed two 70 ton barges 30 km (almost 20 miles) along the Forth and Clyde Canal to Glasgow, and despite "a strong breeze right ahead" which stopped all other canal boats it took only nine and a quarter hours, giving an average speed of about 3 km/h (2 mph). This demonstrated the practicality of steam power for towing boats.

Dr. Simeone explained that from 1915 to 1920 the concept of a sports car was submerged by the rigors of a great world war. Coming out of this tragedy a few car companies early on made a true sports car where speed and sport supervene over practicality. A British, an Italian, and an American example of this early reversion to performance were demonstrated. Featured were the 1921 Vauxhall 30/98E Velox Tourer, 1924 Lancia Lambda Third Series Tourer, and the 1922 Paige 6-66 Daytona Speedster.

There isn't much to say about the back, except that since my sister in law does have to get dressed herself and wear this to work, I went for practicality rather than historical authenticity and put in a zipper and elastic at the waist.

Held founding chair in Social Administration at LSE
Extracts from ‘Obituaries: Richard Titmuss’ by Howard Glennerster in LSE Magazine, November 1973, No46, p.7
‘Looking through some photographs of Richard Titmuss recently I came across one taken during the last war, in the crypt of St. Pauls. There, complete with tin hat, he was holding a seminar with other tin-hatted fire watchers and members of the red Cross. It seemed to personify the values he himself believed grew out of the war experience- a heightened social consciousness and a sense of unity which were the theme of his major work (Problems of Social Policy, 1949)on social policy during the Second World War. It was soon after this book that he was invited to take a chair at the LSE as Professor of Social Administration in 1950…
He believed that it was an academic’s job to participate in policy making and administration as well as to be a critic. He gave many of his days and evenings to official meetings, informal seminars of civil servants, high and lowly. He devoted hours of his time to Royal Commissions, to Labour Study Groups, to the Community Relations Commission and the Supplementary Benefits Commission. He was fascinated by the problem of making large social service bureaucracies humane and sensitive to individual human need. He acted as a kind of bridge between government and academic life helping each to understand the other’s perspective. It was this which lay at the root of his influence on policy and gave his whole department that unique mixture of reforming zeal and practicality.
As I began to set these thoughts down two events occurred together in the same week. The first was that the House of Commons Select Committee on Tax Credits welcomed a proposal that single parent families should receive a special social security benefit and also receive tax credit. This idea was one that Richard had pressed and argued for as a member of the Finer Committee on one-parent families. Indeed he was working on it in his last days. In the same week the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in the United States announced that they were to launch a national voluntary blood donor scheme. It was a proposal which sprang directly from the influence of his last book – The Gift Relationship.
These were the kinds of memorial that Richard Titmuss would have appreciated most.’

From the far side of the American motoring market and a symbol of rugged practicality, the 1950's by the Chevy Advanced Design. This particular model being a 1951 Chevy 3100 (½-ton).
This is another old Gitane Pro Super Corsa. I've had this one since 1973! Of course it has gone through many rejuvinations and configurations since then, and it is now dressed as a light day-tourer, with a few modern, non-french components, for practicality's sake.Took these pix on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon in Seattle
The Mazda6 was redesigned for 2013, and even though its interior is ho-hum (and cramped) and it doesn't have the mainstream appeal/practicality of cars like Honda Accord, it is fun to drive and a good choice in the midsize category.
While the previous Mazda6 shared platforms with the Ford Fusion, the current one stands alone thanks to Ford switching the Fusion to the Mondeo platform. Also, the Mazda6 is no longer made in Flat Rock, Michigan (that plant is now handed over to building various Fords) - production returned to Hiroshima, Japan.
Range towers offer that protection with various features designed to promote safety and practicality, including:
Industrial grade polyurethane acrylic paint to resist nicks and scratches.
Galvanized steel construction to keep the tower rust free and resistant to weather conditions.
Guard railings on all stairs and platforms for additional safety.
All of our prefabricated towers are designed in strict compliance with local codes, including the codes under the IBC 2006 that govern the standards for seismic ground activity. These strict standards ensure a safe product.
1. As mentioned before, Heather loves forests and nature. Being outside gives her the feeling of freedom.
2. She loves coloured hair of all sorts and styles. For herself, she prefers a short, bob-like cut for practicality, and the colour purple.
3. Heather is very well spoken and good with words, when she decides to use them. Poetic talent is apparent in her but she has never found the will to explore it.
4. Being athletic, Heather was always excellent in sports (one of the few classes where she actually did fullfil her potential). Not so much the ball or team sports, but she loved cross-country, triathletic disciplins and gymnastics. Where you didn't need to be near so many people.
5. Heather's wardrobe is based on functionality and mood. When she feels insecure she will constantly wear the same items (her galaxy dress is one of these favourites). She does posess a lot of black clothing, but she can't be considered "goth" in the traditional sense. Jewellery or any kind of accessories are non-existent, since it would just bother her while climbing trees.
6. She is obsessed with comic books. She loves Marvel and all their superheroes: Captain America, Iron Man, the X-Men.... Her favourite character is Wolverine.
7. Her music taste isn't very spread-out. She loves dark, romantic or symphonic tunes. Occasionally she will listen to 60s rock because it gives her a sense of home and safety.
Her favourite bands are Nightwish and The Beatles.
8. Heather isn't unhappy with her looks, she just doesn't consider herself "beautiful" in the common sense. She will always wear the same make-up look: Black or brown smokey eyes with a dark-tinted lip.
9. Heather has an extremely laid-back attitude. But in an unmotivated, unpreoccupied sort of way. Her insecurity feelings often overpower her and she feels like she can do nothing but wait until she feels better. Other than reading comics and being outside, she hasn't got any other hobbies. Her parents blame it all on laziness of youth and such nonsense. Heather is greatly misunderstood by her parents, but has no motivation to change anything about it.
10. Heather can't stand her own name.

An original artwork by Sherri Warner Hunter commissioned by the Friends of the Library and private donations through UrbanArt in 2001.
Sherri Warner Hunter designed the Children’s Courtyard creating mosaics titled Rain Forest Treasures. Hunter combined whimsical and practicality in her sculptural seating. Because the courtyard is located beside the children’s area in the library but will be accessible to all visitors, it was important for Hunter that the benches and sculptures inspire a sense of discovery for all age groups.

Rainmeter - (customized out of HUD.Vision and the latest Enigma)
DColor for desktop icons, Launchy and Digsby currently hiding, walls from the Enigma release, NiteLiteXP visualstyle (hidden).
The icons on the side, ane in each KKMenu, are custom-made from scratch by me.
I was inspired to make this because almost everything I do on the computer is in the "portrait" format - from web browsing to word documenting to print-based graphic design. A sidebar seems like a better use of space than a taskbar.
Practicality takes prominence over aesthetics. What's wrong with leaving files strewn around the desktop?
It came with a little table and two chairs, the cabinet belongs to another set from the series. The table may not be as large as the Living Pretty dining room, but Living Pretty is luxury and grandeur, Decor Collection is practicality and simplicity. Although it does come with an impressive amount of accessories, it was lacking a coffee machine so I added the one that came with my Korean Mimi doll.

Shortly about me:
It’s my passion to create stories and bring back pictures of events, people and places that are rarely seen. It’s a combination of exploration, exposition and artistry that together create a life of adventure and excitement.
In my work it is imperative for me that information be accurate and the images must be respectful of the subject and viewer. My goal is to combine creativity with practicality to capture the best possible images to document events, tell a story, meet the picture editor's deadlines.
If you would like to know more, or even just pick my brains to discuss your project with me, please visit my homepage documentary photography or send me an Email.
This is our 1940s-vintage O'Keefe and Merritt stove. We purchased the gas range around 2003 when we remodeled our kitchen. It added a lot of style to the kitchen, and we got many compliments on it. After using it for 10 years, however, we are reluctantly getting a new gas range with a larger oven--practicality wins out over looks this time.
These wheels were built for practicality and durability. Shimano 105 (5500) 9 speed hubs... Wheelsmith butted spokes (1.99 - 1.74 -1.99 mm)... Sun CR-18 rims... Kenda tires... Schwalb presta tubes.
Not super light weight, the tires weigh more than many others available. The hubs are practical for 130 mm rear spacing on any modern road bike, are durable and also moderately priced. And, they can be used with modern Shimano 8 or 9 or 10 speed cassettes, so they offer very versitile gear options to match any terrain.

A variety of 35mm photos. As you can see, I primarily am interested in portraiture. In particular I have a fascination with documenting moments of juvenile hedonism, and I find much inspiration in the works of Larry Clark, Ray Billingham, and Ryan McGinley, amongst others who stepped outside of the box in terms of documenting the taboo, intimate, and uncomfortable parts of reality. I am also inspired by the lush Amish farmland and rural Americana of my hometown Reading, Pennsylvania. My other photographic focus is the phenomena of graffiti and it’s historic rudimentary predecessor: mark-making. I consider this latter focus to be non-artistic in nature, and purely an anthropological/documentarian pursuit. For practicality, my documentary work is now largely done on my iPhone, while things that I consider artistic pursuits are all shot on film, as I have come to prefer the medium of analog photography and actually sold all my digital equipment a few years ago!
