Deryn and I had a late flight so needed to kill a few hours in the morning. We walked up from Dulwich and entered what must be one of the strangest museums. The Horniman houses an eclectic collection of objects with no real theme holding them together. Preserved bugs and butterflies are within reach of voodoo shrines, musical instruments and Hindu and Buddhist figurines. The history of how the museum came into being, below, perhaps explains this mix.
Still it’s much loved and attracts attendees and during our visit hundreds of tiny kids lining up for the dinosaur exhibition. It also proved a rich seam for amateur photographers! As my photography collection too lacks a theme I had no restrictions in capturing some of these treasures.
“Frederick John Horniman, Victorian tea trader and philanthropist, began collecting objects, specimens and artefacts 'illustrating natural history and the arts and handicrafts of various peoples of the world' from around 1860. His overarching mission was to 'bring the world to Forest Hill' and educate and enrich the lives of the local community.
His travels took him to far flung destinations such as Egypt, Sri Lanka, Burma, China, Japan, Canada and the United States collecting objects which 'either appealed to his own fancy or that seemed to him likely to interest and inform those who had not had the opportunity to visit distant lands'. Mr Horniman’s interest as a collector was well known and many travellers approached him with specimens and curiosities.
By the late nineteenth century, these 'natural, industrial and artistic spoils had accumulated to such an extent that he gave up the whole house to the collections'.
His wife is reported to have said 'either the collection goes or we do'. With that, the family moved to Surrey Mount.”
Jalis, or pierced screens, were used extensively in Indian architecture as windows, room dividers, and railings. In the course of the day, the movement of their patterns in silhouette across the floor would enhance the pleasure of their intricate geometry. This jali, one of a pair, would have formed part of a series of windows set in an outside wall, as suggested by the weathering on one side. They are attributed to the reign of the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1550–1605), when red sandstone was the favored building material. — at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
I've been off Flickr for a long time; longer than the last time. I will be slowly catching up with the photo streams of friends and contacts who I have had the pleasure of meeting online and offline. It got to the point where I had to make a choice between shooting, processing photos or doing Flickr. I've also been spending a lot more time looking at photo books and individual photography (and photographer) websites. My new tactic is to set a time limit on how long I'm on Flickr, that probably won't work but it's worth a shot (no pun intended).
That said, I think posting more frequently will help. So at least for the rest of the year I will try to post at least one photo daily. Time will tell if this succeeds.

"Saints In Colour"
Showing how the Wallingford Screen might have looked in the medieval period - with a 21st century twist. The Cathedral has worked in close partnership with Hogarth, a WPP agency, to explore ground-breaking techniques for bringing history to life, using the latest technology from Panasonic and Epic Games.
Cutting edge scanning and projection techniques using Reality Capture software will bring to life the 15th century screen and 19th century statues with a millimetre accurate 3D scan and re-colourisation, based on historic research by Dr James Alexander Cameron. The colours have been produced by artist Amara Por Dios, and the technology was used to train apprentices in WPP’s Creative Technology Apprenticeship programme, which aims to diversify the emerging technology workforce. St Albans Cathedral is committed to social justice, so we are excited to bring the statues to life in a racially diverse way, reflecting where each of the saints depicted came from.
This restaurant was showing menu items on an illuminated screen. Mostly it was working well but I caught it between images.

An old TV that's been lying around our house for far too long.
I took this on a long exposure to get the screen detail and used my single SB-800 and popped it a few times from several different angles.
