This is Jess, not the most co-operative of models, but a good opportunity to practice with the 85mm f1.2 I've borrowed for a few days off a good friend Graham while he is away on holiday... I may not want to give it back !? :-)

This series (147 photos) of this beautiful model have been shot with the a7 IV running the old 1.0 Firmware with Eye-AF issues.
You can find more photos of her in the albums.
One of many images I had taken with a trip to the Brantford Sanderson Centre put together by our local camera club. Wonderful place to see.
I took this photo in the Train Shed, behind the Mall of St. Louis Union Station, while on a business trip in Missouri.
The train shed was no longer used for regularly scheduled passenger trains, but as a museum with several Locomotives, Cabooses and Freight Cars on display. The station, itself had been converted into a shopping mall with stores, restaurants and tourist attractions. Amtrak then operated from a makeshift station on the mainline which passed behind the station.
Back in December 1993, when I took my Photos, AMTRAK operated out of a House Trailer, but when I looked up Union Station using Google Earth, I saw that they have a more formal Building and an elevated passenger loading platform.
Other than the Union Station (itself), I hardly recognize the area; it has changes so much.
Disclaimer: I took this photo on December 22, 1993 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR using Print (Negative) Film when I was just learning photograph; so they are very soft & grainy. I scanned the Negative and used Photoshop Elements to correct the exposure and to generate this Digital Image

This baby Indian Cobra (Naja naja) was found just a couple houses down from this public playground. I set up this shot to illustrate how common snakes are in the city, and how little fear the locals have of them. The boy was completely safe. This cobra was only about 30 cm long, and the boy was about 7 meters away, but with my wide angle lens it looks much closer. In Pune, India
put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day....(:
This huge pile of rocks is near Ballendean near NSW border with Queensland. Make like a commando to get a shot of this, thanks JF...:))
The pyramid is the result of a chance remark by local Peter Watters to, the then owner of the property, Stuart Moreland. Peter said "What are we going to do with all these rocks?" Stuart replied "Build a pyramid!" His subsequent instructions were "The pyramid has to be 30metres square at the base and 15metres high". It actually stands 17.5metres high and contains 7500 tonnes of rock. It was built by a Mr Ken Stubberfield using an excavator and dump truck. It took eight months. The pyramid is on private property but can be viewed from Jacobson Road, Ballandean.
The present owners by all accounts are a little reluctant for close viewing of this local oddity with three strand electric fence to keep the curious at bay, not at all I would imagine was the intent of the original owner and builder of the pyramid which cost him at the time in the vicinity of $100,000.I just love the idea of the farmer who commissioned this pile of rocks, whimsical and a little fey, producing something out of the square, daring to be different and for us to gape and marvel at an individual's harnessing the power of a pyramid.
Photographed in the moonlight and starlight in the wee hours of the morning last week.

Well, so far so good - my sweet little Mother-in-law came through her surgery - the doctor seems to think everything went well - he took some of her small intestines and said things were running when he closed her up - it took her a good while to wake up - we got home around 3;15 this morning - surgery was finshed around 9:15. It was a long wait - but she is back in her room in the hospital and knew all of us when we got to see her before leaving - we will be going back over sometime later today. Thanks again for all your precious prayers - they were certainly answered. Blessings to each and everyone of you. Smiles from a tired but thankful Nana :) ! ~
This was originally a photo of a glider in flight. It was manipulated into a wave like image of sky, colour changes and texturing. Seems to be a favourite, had a number of people wanting to buy a copy when they saw it printed out at my office.
This and the next two images were all taken on the same morning at Redhead Beach, NSW; Australia a month ago - I haven't been back on the sand since - too much else happening at present.........
Hope you like these latest images - Thanks in advance - for any comment, viewing or favorites!!!
This is #23 in an August photo-a-day project that includes a random challenge each day. Today's challenge... "Pair"
This image is a 2000X1250 pixel scan from a slide, print or negative. The vast majority of the shots were scanned during the 2007-2014 period. Some images may be re-uploaded from the earliest versions which were done in a smaller size and are noted accordingly.
The images here from my own collection. They are a combination of my own photographs, as well as those acquired over 40+ years through trading, purchasing, and attending various slide events around the world.
This photostream was initially created in 2017 for archival purposes, and in the years since (to 2023) has had over 11 million image views.

This card is for the Hero Arts June challenge (thinking of you cards) and for a World-Wide Stamping Week challenge at the Stamping Board on Two Peas to use a kraft background. The Radiant Banner was stamped with Colorbox Frost White. The owls were stamped with Archival Jet Black and then coloured with coloured pencils. I love how the look that gives on kraft. Using a stamp positioner, I stamped the owl stamp on the base cardstock and then cut out and layered only the owl bodies on top. The hearts were coloured with pencils and then coated with Glossy Accents. I made a quick and simple card, which I don't do often. TFL!!

Had this shot in mind since a long time, needed another camera to do this successfully.. Got a grip for my D40 recently, was very keen to get this shot done. So, asked a friend of mine to come over with his Canon 550D to make this photograph. Although, I never enjoy shooting a Canon, had fun making this shot. My friend and I took about 2 hours to get this done. And here is the final shot.. Hope u guys like it!

Although many of its inhabitants treat it like a garbage dump, Sicily is a place of extraordinary beauty. This is quite evident in this evening view from the scenic village of Castiglione di Sicilia toward Etna, with Venus in the sky and the lights of the village Solicchiata on the slope of the volcano at right. Taken on 7 December 2013
This photo of a White-crowned Sparrow nearly cost me my camera. I was standing on the edge of a pond, with a small tree to my right giving me partial cover. Birds would fly over and land in the shallow pond for a dip and not realize my presence until it was too late.Evidently, this bird escaped my notice. It was in the pond on the other side of the tree. Suddenly, it decided to dry itself on the very tree I was using for cover. It was about four feet away and shoulder height. I was so surprised that I nearly dropped my camera! The bird was completely unphased. It sat there for three or four minutes :) . The bird completely filled my 300 mm lens! Fortunately, I calmed down , adjusted my lens, and took quite a few pictures of this lovely bird. In order to see the details of the feathers, use the large setting. The photo was taken in June 2010, with an Olympus camera. Enjoy.
This is one of my favourite Christmas ornaments. Most of us know it is the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story.

Hari Singh with the help of British had ascended the throne of Kashmir in 1925 and was the reigning monarch at the conclusion of British rule in the subcontinent in 1947. One of the conditions of the partition of India imposed by Britain was that the rulers of princely states would have the right to opt for either Pakistan or India or remain independent. In 1947, Kashmir's population was 77% Muslim and it shared a boundary with both Dominion of Pakistan and Union of India. On the eve of India's partition, thousands of Muslims were murdered in the city of Jammu and its adjoining areas which provoked the sentiments of Pakistani Muslims as they felt the insecurity of Muslims in the Independent state of Kashmir which was ruled by a Non-Muslim ruler. On 20 October 1947, tribesmen backed by Pakistan invaded Kashmir.
The Maharaja who was having a Peace treaty with both india and pakistan initially fought back but appealed for assistance to the Governor-General Louis Mountbatten, who agreed on the condition that the ruler accede to India.On October 25, 1947, Maharaja Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession on 26 October 1947 and it was accepted on 27 October 1947 by the Governor General of India.Once the Instrument of Accession (Jammu and Kashmir) was signed, Indian soldiers entered Kashmir with orders to evict the raiders, but they were not able to expel everyone from the state by the time the harsh winter started. India took the matter to the United Nations. The UN resolution asked both India and Pakistan to vacate the areas they have occupied and hold a referendum under UN observation. The holding of this plebiscite, which India initially supported, was dismissed by India because the 1952 elected Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir voted in favour of confirming the Kashmir region's accession to India. Another reason for the abandonment of the referendum is because demographic changes, after 1947, have been effected in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, as generations of Pakistani individuals non-native to the region have been allowed to take residence in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Furthermore, in Indian-administered Kashmir, the demographics of the Kashmir Valley have also been altered after separatist militants coerced 1/4 million Kashmiri Hindus to leave the region. Moreover, Pakistan failed to withdraw its troops from the Kashmir region as was required under the same U.N. resolution of August 13, 1948 which discussed the plebiscite.
Diplomatic relations between India and Pakistan soured for many other reasons, and eventually resulted in three further wars in Kashmir the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971 and the Kargil War in 1999. India has control of 60% of the area of the former Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir (Jammu, Kashmir Valley, and Ladakh); Pakistan controls 30% of the region (Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir). China has since occupied 10% (Aksai Chin) of the state in 1962.
The eastern region of the erstwhile princely state of Kashmir has also been beset with a boundary dispute. In the late 19th- and early 20th centuries, although some boundary agreements were signed between Great Britain, Tibet, Afghanistan and Russia over the northern borders of Kashmir, China never accepted these agreements, and the official Chinese position did not change with the communist revolution in 1949. By the mid-1950s the Chinese army had entered the northeast portion of Ladakh.
By 1956–57 they had completed a military road through the Aksai Chin area to provide better communication between Xinjiang and western Tibet. India's belated discovery of this road led to border clashes between the two countries that culminated in the Sino-Indian war of October 1962 which India lost. China has occupied Aksai Chin since 1962 and, in addition, an adjoining region, the Trans-Karakoram Tract was ceded by Pakistan to China in 1963.
For intermittent periods between 1957, when the state approved its own Constitution, to the death of Sheikh Abdullah in 1982, the state had alternating spells of stability and discontent. In the late 1980s however, simmering discontent over the high-handed policies of the Union Government and allegations of the rigging of the 1987 assembly elections triggered a violent uprising which was backed by Pakistan.
Since then, the region has seen a prolonged, bloody conflict between militants and the Indian Army, both of whom have been accused of widespread human rights abuses, including abductions, massacres, rape and looting.The army has officially denied these allegations. However, militancy in the state has been on the decline since 1996,also again in 2004 with the peace process with India and Pakistan. Furthermore the situation has become increasingly peaceful in recent years.
This was the highlight and reason for my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024. This is stage 8 of 9.
I was lucky to secure permits for the once monthly photography tour of Kartchner Caverns. Kartchner Caverns State Park strictly forbids any cameras or cellphones in the Caverns. Except for one trip per month for 12 to 15 photographers currently $125. I planned a 4 day 3 night road trip around Southern Arizona anchored by my Kartchner Cavern permit.
I was expecting dark conditions. The State Park turned on all the lights in the Big Room. They don't like turning on all the lights since can cause an increase in algae. This is the reason they only have one photography tour a month.
I found myself adjusting my histograms to not clip the highlights. Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome. Next time I am going to bracket my shots. I almost wish I had brought a ND filter or tried a handheld GND filter.
I don't know speleothems so I won't even try to identify. If anyone can help me with the identification, I will appreciate it.
www.nps.gov/subjects/caves/speleothems.htm#:~:text=The%20...)%20when%20needed.
The features that arouse the greatest curiosity for most cave visitors are speleothems. These stone formations exhibit bizarre patterns and other-worldly forms, which give some caves a wonderland appearance. Caves vary widely in their displays of speleothems because of differences in temperature; overall wetness; and jointing, impurities, and structures in the rocks. In general, however, one thing caves do have in common is where speleothems form. Although the formation of caves typically takes place below the water table in the zone of saturation, the deposition of speleothems is not possible until caves are above the water table in the zone of aeration. As soon as the chamber is filled with air, the stage is set for the decoration phase of cave building to begin.
The term speleothem refers to the mode of occurrence of a mineral—i.e., its morphology or how it looks—in a cave, not its composition (Hill, 1997). For example, calcite, the most common cave mineral, is not a speleothem, but a calcite stalactite is a speleothem. A stalactite may be made of other minerals, such as halite or gypsum.
Classifying speleothems is tricky because no two speleothems are exactly alike. Nevertheless, speleologists have taken three basic approaches: classification by morphology, classification by origin, and classification by crystallography. All three of these approaches have their problems (Hill, 1997), so cavers often take a more practical approach that primarily uses morphology (e.g., cave pearls) but includes whatever is known about origin (e.g., geysermites) and crystallography (e.g., spar) when needed.

The Kartchner Caverns, rated one of the world's 10 most beautiful caves, is an eerie wonderland of stalactites and stalagmites still growing beneath the Whetstone Mountains 40 miles southeast of Tucson.
The limestone cave has 13,000 feet of passages and hundreds of formations built over the past 200,000 years, including some that are unique and world-renowned. It's a "living cave," with intricate formations that continue to grow as water seeps, drips and flows from the walls and slowly deposits the mineral calcium carbonate.
The caverns were discovered by amateur spelunkers Randy Tufts and Gary Tenen in 1974 on land owned by the Kartchner family. They kept the cave a secret until 1988, when the Kartchners sold it to the state to become a state park.
The highlights of the Big Room tour are a stretch of strawberry flowstone, which has been colored red by iron oxide (rust) in the water, and a maternity ward for 1,800 female cave myotis bats, with black grime on the ceiling where the bats hang and piles of guano on the floor. Visitors who look closely will see a bat's body embedded in one of the cave's formations.
Though not all are available on the tours, the caverns' unique features include a 21-foot, 2-inch soda straw that's one the world's largest (Throne Room), the world's most extensive formation of brushite moonmilk (Big Room), the first reported occurrence of "turnip" shields (Big Room), the first cave occurrence of "birdsnest" needle quartz formations (Big Room) and the remains of a Shasta ground sloth from the Pleistocene Age (Big Room).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kartchner_Caverns_State_Park
Kartchner Caverns State Park is a state park of Arizona, United States, featuring a show cave with 2.4 miles (3.9 km) of passages.[1] The park is located 9 miles (14 km) south of the town of Benson and west of the north-flowing San Pedro River. Long hidden from view, the caverns were discovered in 1974 by local cavers, assisted by state biologist Erick Campbell who helped in its preservation.
The park encompasses most of a down-dropped block of Palaeozoic rocks on the east flank of the Whetstone Mountains.
The caverns are carved out of limestone and filled with spectacular speleothems which have been growing for 50,000 years or longer, and are still growing. Careful and technical cave state park development and maintenance, initially established by founder Dr. Bruce Randall "Randy" Tufts, geologist, were designed to protect and preserve the cave system throughout the park's development, and for perpetuity.[3]
The two major features of the caverns accessible to the public are the Throne Room and the Big Room. The Throne Room contains one of the world's longest (21 ft 2 in (6.45 m))[5] soda straw stalactites and a 58-foot (18 m) high column called Kubla Khan, after the poem. The Big Room contains the world's most extensive formation of brushite moonmilk. Big Room cave tours are closed during the summer for several months (April 15 to October 15) each year because it is a nursery roost for cave bats, however the Throne Room tours remain open year-round.[8]
Other features publicly accessible within the caverns include Mud Flats, Rotunda Room, Strawberry Room, and Cul-de-sac Passage. Approximately 60% of the cave system is not open to the public.[9]
Many different cave formations can be found within the caves and the surrounding park. These include cave bacon, helictites, soda straws, stalactites, stalagmites and others.[12] Cave formations like the stalactites and stalagmites grow approximately a 16th of an inch every 100 years.[13]
Haiku thoughts:
Beneath earth's cool veil,
Stalactites in silence grow,
Whispers of stone deep.

Southern Arizona Adventure 2024
This was the defining moment for me not only of Comic-Con 2010 but for the last several years (since 2005!) of my Chief persona. The circle is complete.
A thousand thanks to Ace Kim, the catalyst for the entire story as follows:
At Qualcomm Stadium while waiting for the trolley to Comic-Con, I get no less than 3 missed calls, two texts, and a voicemail from Ace who is already at the con and has some emergency or something to call him about. I call him up and he tells me "You're here."
What?
"You're here. Chief's here!"
What??
"I told him I have a friend who looks just like him, and he wants you to come get a photo with him"
NOWAI
After arriving at the con I hook up with Ace and we make our way over to the booth where Aaron Douglas is with a crowd of other celebrities doing signings. Ace steps up and tells him he's brought his friend, and as the people in front of me step aside and Aaron and I lay eyes on each other, he goes "Whoa."
He then signed a photograph for me with a very special message.

An imaginary city I drew by hand. This one is appr. 55x35 cm (14x21 inches). I used to draw my maps in blue, but the pencil shop doesn't sell my pencils any longer - only some red ones were left.
The city is inspired on Dordrecht and Amsterdam. It's a typical Dutch city, as in Holland places can't just expand wherever people want to build; new buildings must be around existing towns. Urban sprawl simply doesn't exist, except very old urban sprawl. Therefore, cities are always distinct from other towns, agglomeration of suburbs is not possible. Between ever-expanding cities, green buffers must prevent cities from growing into one, large megacity,
The city is on the northern bank of the imaginary east-west river (being not far away from the river's mouth into the sea) while at the point where the southern river flows into the main river, a fortress was built in order to have a good view of the river during war time.
The old road to the fortress from the south is still in use, new neighbourhoods have been built around it, so it's a perfect bicycle/bus lane. In the southwest on the river, the Plaza area with a cruise quai, schools, station, P+R, ferry dock, sports palais, outlet shops, many offices and a hotel make this shore a vivid place. Newer neighbourhoods (Dutch: VINEX) are built at the southeastern bank of the river.
2011.
This female Mandarin Duck had not been ringed and neither were its flight feathers clipped. Probably feral.
This one was inspired by pictures of the Chrysler Building in New York. I think shading is mandatory to get it to work and not look too busy. Keep your domes tall and their sides straight for best results. I wasn't careful with my zigzag lines if you were wondering...
A serendipitous moment while tagging along with our friend, Gail Chatelain during her photo-shoot and visit last weekend.
The plane was in and out of the frame before I knew it. Billy, Gail and I were all shooting at the same time and simultaneously shouted at each other, "Did you get it?"
This was a truck parked right next to my home. I love the way everyone has climbed on the World Cup 2010 bandwagon. The flags on cars keep proliferating. This kind of sums up the mood in the country at present.
This huge pile of German helmets surrounded by Nazi guns and equipment that was captured by the Red Army in the Battle of Leningrad, was just one part of the great exhibition called, "Heroic Defense of Leningrad," which opened recently in Leningrad. The exhibit contained every type of German military equipment which the Russian defenders of the city seized and collected after their heroic stand against the Nazi hordes.
This long exposure sunset was shot at Oriole Beach Boat Ramp located in Gulf Breeze Florida. The image is a 121 second exposure at f/22 with IOS 50. Camera used with the Sony A7R with the Sony FE 24-70mm f/4 lens on a tripod. A circular 10 stop ND filter was used.
The bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don't flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on its brow
of the flower
and retell it in words and in touch
it is lovely
until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing;
as Saint Francis
put his hand on the creased forehead
of the sow, and told her in words and in touch
blessings of earth on the sow, and the sow
began remembering all down her thick length,
from the earthen snout all the way
through the fodder and slops to the spiritual curl of the tail,
from the hard spininess spiked out from the spine
down through the great broken heart
to the blue milken dreaminess spurting and shuddering
from the fourteen teats into the fourteen mouths sucking and blowing beneath
them:
the long, perfect loveliness of sow.
St. Francis and The Sow

He is my Saint Francis and I am his sow. For this I am so grateful.
For the Gratitude Project - 30 Days. Please visit the pool and participate, if you are so inclined.
This is my best try to straighten Vertorama.. man its hard LOL!
2 sets / 3 shots. ^_^
I got a permit to shoot this time.
Thanks for viewing!
This took a few hours, but it's important to get the shape right, and remember to use as many round white bricks as possible, and make sure to use transparent parts on the end so it trails off! Note: this thing is not very sturdy, its a bit unbalanced. Remember to NOT do that when making your own plume lol
