WHEN SPRING STARTS TO BREATH

Sakura Sakura (さくら さくら)
Is a traditional Japanese folk song depicting spring, the season of cherry blossom.

no-yama mo sato mo (野山も里も)
mi-watasu kagiri (見渡す限り)
kasumi ka kumo ka (霞か雲か)
asahi ni niou (朝日に匂う)
sakura sakura (桜 桜)
hana-zakari (花ざかり)
sakura sakura (桜 桜)
yayoi no sora wa (弥生の空は)
mi-watasu kagiri (見渡す限り)
kasumi ka kumo ka (霞か雲か)
nioi zo izuru (匂いぞ 出づる)
iza ya iza ya (いざや いざや)
mi ni yukan (見に行かん)
The George Formby song springs to mind!
“Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob
For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job
Now it's a job that just suits me
A window cleaner you would be
If you can see what I can see
When I'm cleanin' windows”
Montage, Chair and Background are of the Internet, you could not see my Cat and the Remote from the originally Background.
When substantially all you have to photograph are Canada Geese and Mallard Ducks, that's what you photograph. Others will be along soon. It really is still just the very end of winter. Spring hasn't even taken its coat off yet.
In a month's time there will be many more bird opportunities, and in two months' time, lots of macro bird and insects. For now, we photograph the loyal creatures who have stuck with us all winter.
When shooting a street musician, the musician had mistaken me for another photographer who just happened to show up shortly after he was mentioned. William is a supporter of so many things in Chattanooga and art is a big part of that.
A few moments of talking photography, film, and music and we knew we had a lot in common. It was William who gave me the heads up on several bands that were performing in the middle of the week, and his band was one of them. And then an art show that was closing that week too.
A pleasure meeting him. (And thanks for all the food recommendations, Will!)

Despite the fact how airy & easy going I may sound in reality I’m semi-anxious individual who can’t calm down until the things get down at least somewhat perfect.
When I am wandering with my camera, I sometimes see things that make me think of specific photographs and photographers that I admire and that inspire me. I am confident I am not alone in this. Here’s the first in what I hope will be a series (albeit sporadic) of photographs that I took in the shadow of that inspiration. Not to say that the resulting photographs are inspired or inspiring, or can stand alongside the photographs or photographers that inspired them. Instead, they are tributes, however humble, and an excuse to highlight a few of the photographs and photographers that I carry about in my head and heart as I look at the world.
The first image in this series is of an early morning scene that made me immediately think of one of my all-time favourite photographs, Arco Hotel (1979), by Greg Girard. Here is a link to that image (among others): monteclarkgallery.com/girard-sander-list/ And here is a link to the artist’s site: www.greggirard.com/
Greg Girard has an outstanding body of work. His book, Under Vancouver, is a particular favourite and I look at it often. If you are not familiar with his work, do yourself a favour and take a look.
When I had concluded taking photos (or so I thought) one night at Disneyland, the view of Sleeping Beauty Castle behind the tree caught my eye. I quickly snapped a series of shots, changing my focal point as I thought two very similar, yet very different shots would be interesting. Here’s one of the photos. You can find the other on DisneyTouristBlog.com.
Which do you prefer? I prefer this one. Unfortunately, due to the constraints of space, etc., the tree could only comprise a small portion of the frame in each shot. Here, I think that works since it's not the focal point. In the other shot, the tree is the more obvious focal point, but is over-powered by the larger area of bokeh.

“When photographing women, we have three paths: photograph them with the "male gaze” ; photograph them as "photographer eyes” and photograph them as "poet feeling”. I always try to be the three ...” by Old Roger

When John Batman (who set out from Launceston, Van Diemen's Land) first set eyes on this location on the banks of the Yarra River, as it joined what was to be called Port Phillip Bay, he is said to have remarked, "This will be the place for a village."
And that village has grown and grown and grown ever since 1835. Melbourne now has a population of 5 million people and at current growth rates will overtake Sydney as Australia's largest city within a decade.
Here we see the skyline of the city as the Spirit of Tasmania II approaches Port Melbourne. I wanted to get as wide a shot as possible without a panorama. Perhaps the most striking thing in this skyline is the large number of building cranes. Melbourne truly is a city under 24 hour construction. The sun here is striking the buildings on the foreshore whilst the CBD is somewhat shaded.
One final little bonus. Can you see that speck in the left-hand sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a helicopter (I'll tag the photo so you won't miss it). Of course, this shot is best seen enlarged.
While dodging spots of rain, I managed to nab this shot of a Lake State Railway SD50-2 parked in Walbridge Yard. Wish I could've gotten closer.
When an event happens - so tragic that nothing can be the same again - it cleaves time in half. Your own history becomes polarised, separated into "life before" and "life after", the event itself marking time like the broken spine of a book; scarred from where the pages were ripped.
When all you think of all day long
Is a pretty face inside a song
With a thought like that you can't go wrong
About the girls of summer

The Blue Supermoon on the 30th August started being visible just on the side of the Sanctuary of Christ the King (“Cristo-Rei”), located on the south bank of the Tagus River. After a few minutes it was precisely located behind the statue.
This shot was taken from the north bank (Lisbon) at a distance of about 4km.
I had unsuccessfully tried to take this shot a few years ago. This time it worked! 😊

Those special moments in life, when you can't suppress the joyous smile emerging from your inner while talking to a strange person reflecting brightness on you. <3

When You are different... And Strange...
You are not understood from the people....
And You are left alone....
To fight with everything by Yourself...
To learn.. only from Your mistakes....
And there is no one to help You...
To rise You... when You are fallen...
To give You a smile... When You are sad....
There is no Love...
No warmth....
It is You... Only You....
There... on the Cold....
I know... :) The last step... That goes out from the picture...Somebody would say that, is not suppose to be there... :)
But that step, has e meaning...
… When You are rejected from the crowd... and you are leaving...You are stopping for a moment... And hoping someone to say... “Hey... I Need You...”
And this music will help You to go thru the picture...A music... that I love a lot... :)

The clouds helped me here in framing the scene in a wonderful way...
This is one of the first photos taken on my recent trip to Norway. What an amazing country! I had been there a couple of years ago. Returned now and I'm already thinking on my next trip there! 😊
This is also one of the first photos I've taken with my new iPhone. And I'm really amazed by the results. At this pace of evolution, the smartphones will definitively replace "regular" cameras in the near future.

This is a double exposure shot taken on Double Six beach in Seminyak (Bali): at sunset, it's not unusual to spot some tourist riding horses on the shore. Their silhouettes against the sea and the sky offer good opportunities for creative shots.
