A 9-shot handheld vertorama of one of my favorite structures in the world. I’m looking forward to my workshop In New York on May 27-29 bit.ly/NewYork_2016 where we are going to shoot even more fantastic structures and explore our vision to create fine art photography, to create (en)Visionography.

Here are some old farm structures taken near my friend’s wheat farm in Eastern Washington. I would guess that the building straight ahead with the sunken roof and the barn to the right were the original buildings and then the other two structures were added on. I’m sure the rodents and snakes are enjoying the extra space now.

Macro of the central spine of a peace lily leaf. The image is formed from a stack of around 60 frames to build a detailed impression of the structure and texture of the leaf close where it is changing from green to brown.
Almost a year in planning and eventually i got the chance to go and photograph from the "Shard " in London.
Conditions were very difficult with the haze and reflections of the structure.Trying to get a wide angle shot is next to impossible due to the reflections but this im happy with.
Such a fantastic place with incredible views all over London.
Thankyou to my photographer friend Alpha Whiskey flic.kr/ps/yxgZ6 who joined me for this trip, we had a giggle and managed a few shots too ... always a pleasure my friend.
This is a handheld image ( i could not believe it ! , check out the exif )

I have others that are of a longer exposure while resting the camera on my bag ( tripods not allowed )... but this has become my favourite so far.
Every year, the city of Gloucester, MA, builds a "Christmas Tree" from green lobster traps stacked into a conical structure. (Early trees were built from wooden traps, which have been replaced over the years by traps made of coated wire mesh.) The traps and labor are donated, and scores of children paint hundreds of lobster trap buoys that will decorate the outside, in addition to lighting.
400 traps are being used this year, in honor of the city's 400th anniversary, making this year's tree much larger than past ones. Open door frames are built in at ground level, so anyone can walk inside, look up, and gape. Here, the volunteer crew is closing in on the top after most of a day of work.

I considered posting the photo with no explanation but decided to be charitable.

Balboa Pier, Newport Beach, CA
Newport Beach, CA
The Balboa Pier was constructed in 1906 as a sister project of the Balboa Pavilion. The Newport Bay investment Company wanted to attract lot buyers to an undeveloped spit of sandy land now called the Balboa Peninsula. In order to do so, they built both the Balboa Pavilion and the Balboa Pier. These two structures were built to coincide with the opening of the southern terminus of the Pacific Electric Railway Red Car line from Long Beach to the Balboa Peninsula. The plan worked; multitudes of beachgoers flocked to Balboa, and many purchased lots.
The pier is a popular fishing spot. The fish caught from the pier consist mostly of mackerel and flounder. Additionally, the pilings are home to a large population of starfish that feed on the large colonies of mussels growing there, and are easily spotted at low tide. Fishermen catching starfish by mistake are a relatively common sight.
In the 1980s, the first of Orange County's famous Ruby's Diner restaurants opened on the pier. The 1940s nostalgia-themed restaurant has since become a famous Orange County landmark.
Balboa Pier Park
The pier was heavily damaged in the severe El Niño storms of 1998, which also destroyed the famous diamond-shaped Aliso Pier in Laguna Beach. One of the pillars was damaged, causing a partial collapse of one corner. The wooden posts have since been reinforced with steel sheathing and braces to prevent further damage.
Scientific study: “COVID-19 lockdown effects on adolescent brain structure suggest accelerated maturation that is more pronounced in females than in males”.
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2403200121
“Since accelerated brain maturation has been associated with increased risk for the development of neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders, these findings highlight the importance of providing ongoing monitoring and support to individuals who were adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Like we were told during covid: follow the science!
Galatians 2:18 “Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor.”
Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes or fynbos. In local tradition, the protea flower represents change and hope. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape flora are thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape, where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species. The main vectors responsible for the transfer of pollen in protea cultivation are birds, insects, and wind. Some Protea species exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination as a method of reproduction. Cross-pollination is preferred, though, as a method of reproduction because it provides genetic diversity in the population. When cultivating proteas, breeders use hand pollination as a controlled method to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Proteas usually flower during spring. The general structure of their flower heads consists of a mass of flowers on a woody receptacle. The ovary is protected by the receptacle, thus is not seen when looking at the flower, but the anthers are present at the top of the flower, which can then easily transfer the pollen to the vectors. 17529
how vulnerable and still are his movements in the busy city. the drawing of his face is like a map, much smaller than that of the city. he himself is also getting smaller in the disappearance of time.
I definitely have always had a goal to capture unique angles of San Francisco. I feel I am starting to finally narrow in on those. sfbay.photos

Standing at the base of this abandoned concrete cooling tower, I looked up to frame the perfect circle of sky above. The brutalist architecture of these industrial structures offers a unique canvas - the converging concrete ribs create a hypnotic pattern leading to the circular void. I composed the shot to emphasize how this utilitarian structure transforms into pure geometric abstraction, with the harsh concrete elements contrasting against the soft blue sky. The decreasing circles of the tower's construction naturally draw the viewer's eye upward, turning this industrial artifact into a study of light, form, and perspective.
blurry innit. parking structure, any mall, anytown, usa
named for the Damien Jurado song I'm listening to.
out from my window, across from the city
i have what's considered a good view
two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
where i walk to break in my new shoes
she stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
like horses and parades in passing
i ask where she's headed, she tells me ohio
i've not seen my mother in ages
it's been a long time
a real long time
out from my window, how far is ohio?
she laughed, and pointed out east
she said i grew up there with my dear mother
and i haven't seen her since thirteen
you see i was taken while she lay sleeping
by my father's hired men
we moved to the city, so far from my family
i haven't been back there since
it's been a long time
a real long time
out from my window, please hear me ohio
your daughter wants to come home
she longs to be with you, to hug you, to kiss you
to never leave her alone
and i've gotten to know her, to live with to love her
it's hard to see her leave
she belongs to her mother and the state of ohio
i wish she belonged to me
see you some time
see you some time
