Shot with Fuji X100S
Christmas is over, NYE is only a few days away, it's the perfect time for a short recap of the past 12 months.
I have seen quite a few changes in my life over the course of these months but changes are good. I can honestly say that I feel happy with the circumstances and that I am very much looking forward to the coming year.
However, there is one thing I regret if I look back: I did not shoot enough. I have been lazy and uninspired and apart from the month I spent in Scotland, I did almost not use my camera at all.
I tried to ask myself why that is, and I think the reasons are versatile:
Too many new, exciting things that draw my attention away from photography.
General uninspiredness.
Laziness to carry my heavy equipment around with me.
I arrived at the point where I realized that I simply hated dragging my heavy photography backpack with me, like I used to do in the past. Without a camera you can't shoot and you can't feel a lot of inspiration.
In order to change that situation and make the coming year more creative than the last, I decided to add a new piece of equipment to my gearlist: The Fuji X100S.
I had contemplated buying this little beast for many many months now but it took me until mid december to finally make a decision and give myself an early Christmas gift. I have had it for less than two weeks now but I already feel that this camera is exactly what I needed at this point. Small, lightweight and with extraordinary image quality.
It is too early to draw big conclusions but I feel confident that this is gonna influence my photography a lot.
I wish you all a great NYE!
Yours Ivo
A few busy weeks away from Flickr and difficult to catch up!
I haven't had much opportunity for photography the last while, the exception being last Saturday when my daughter asked me to do some family portraits with her husband and six month old daughter, Laine, which we did at the Kudlowich Homestead in Birds Hill Park. During a brief pause when Laine needed some maternal attention, I grabbed this shot of one of last year's leaves stuck in the window frame of the Kudlowich house.
For those that were fearing the worst, the seemingly never ending inactivities that have been creeping into Trains In Tasmania during recent times but fear not my good friends as I have been reflecting lately on my burgeoning and out of control work flow and management that have seen my work filtering out at an all time low. !!.
Please bear with me as I sort out my mess and will be back A.S.A.P.
Thanks very much for your patience and support.

Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Built in 1829 and closed in 1971 remaining abandoned for several decades before being re-opened to the public as a tourable historical attraction.
Technical details:
Mamiya C330 medium format twin lens reflex film camera with a Seiko 80mm F2.8 blue dot lens.
Kodak Tmax 400 B&W film shot at ISO 400.
Semi-stand development using Kodak HC-110 1+100 dilution for 1 hour with 30 seconds initial agitation with swizzle stick and three turns @ 30 minute mark. Paterson 3 reel tank.
Negative scanned with Epson 4990 on holders fitted with ANR glass.
This pattern was created by the extreme cold and windows that had steamed up and then frozen. Light from outside helped to create a golden glow.
If you grew up in the UK in the 1970s/80s you might well be familiar with BBC TV's "Play School", a programme for younger children where the presenters invited you to look at something through one of their windows. I don't think an 'oblong' window ever existed, but I've a feeling 'round', 'square' and 'arched' windows all made the cut.

A decorative window adorning a room for rent at a coastal retreat in Pagudpud, Philippines in the Ilocos Norte province of Luzon Island.
4 examples of the beautiful window frames that can be seen everywhere in Bhutan, these were all taken in Thimphu the capital.
This window really stands out on the red roof of an old Montreal house. It is nicely decorated and red roofs were in use a long time ago and are therefore quite historical.
Trying out my new cell phone camera, this shot was taken as a panorama but I had to crop it a bit. Taken at the Fairview Shopping Mall in Pointe-Claire, Que.
Captured from the adjacent clock tower, this photograph offers a captivating perspective of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Stanislaus and St. Ladislaus in Vilnius. The golden cross and intricate rooftop statues stand out against the city’s skyline, framed through the clock tower’s windows. A timeless moment of Vilnius’ rich architectural heritage.

Sassy the cat lives in a Wet’suwet’en Strong household on 10th Ave East at Fraser Street. Somedays Sassy will sit on the window ledge, but never when I have my camera.
Wet’suwet’en People:
The Wet'suwet'en nation have lived on their territories in what is now British Columbia for thousands of years. They have never signed treaties or sold their land to Canada.
The Wetʼsuwetʼen live on the Bulkley River and around Burns Lake, Broman Lake, and François Lake in the northwestern Central Interior of British Columbia.
The endonym Wetʼsuwetʼen means "People of the Wa Dzun Kwuh River (Bulkley River)".
In 2008, Wet’suwet’en clans opted out of the British Columbia Treaty process and asserted their land rights to their unceded territory in Canada.
31 December, 2019, the British Columbia Supreme Court issued an injunction to allow construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline, giving the company unlimited access to Wet’suwet’en lands.
The Coastal GasLink pipeline is intended to be 416 miles long, stretching from northeast British Columbia to near Kitimat.
Within this swath of land lies 22,000 square kilometers of unceded Wet’suwet’en land. The injunction was firmly rejected by the Wet’suwet’en.
07 January, 2020 the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs issued an eviction notice to the pipeline company, effective immediately.
UNCEDE LAND:
In 1997, the Hereditary Chiefs brought their claim for their ancestral land to the Canadian Supreme Court.
The court ruled the Wet’suwet’en People had not relinquished their land rights and titles to 22,000 square kilometers of land in northern British Columbia. The ruling also recognized the validity of hereditary governance.
Most of the territory of British Columbia was never ceded by the Indigenous Peoples of the land.
Indigenous Peoples have been living on their land for at least 14,000 years, while British Columbia, first a colony now a province, has been around for about 160 years.
The cultures, governments, and legal systems of many First Nation Peoples in the region were never extinguished.
At the time of colonization, international and British Law deemed Indigenous land interests were to be respected if the Indigenous People had not signed a treaty or been conquered.
The Wet’suwet’en were never conquered nor did they sign a treaty. Nonetheless, without any legal backing, in the 1860s British Columbia started to pass land laws and hand out property interests of the Indigenous land.

Captured on campus in the ISE Lab Common Space in February , with iPhone and Contrast app.
I really liked how the sun screen created a gauzy filter and how the Contrast app accentuated the walls of the building and the people outside the window.
VWS1781 Copyright © VW Selburn 2010: The night view from my bedroom window at Durham Castle. Durham Castle is part of the Durham University and the student accommodation is let out in the summer to tourists. This is from my archive and was taken in 2010 at the Tall Ships Shootaboot. I still have lots of photos to upload from that shootaboot. It was early days for me with flickr so I was trying not to look too keen. Of course that has all gone by the board now hasn't it? I know I'm keen so I pick out my best photos and upload them anyway! In Explore at 271 on 20th September 2017.
Taken at Jack's Restaurant in Whittier just before closing
If you are in the Whittier area a print of this shot is hanging in the Nixon Room of the Whittier Library until 2016 end of May.
Damn right they wanted! The surprise was just so comprehensive and so many questions about yesterday still floated in the air. But the q/a part could still wait awhile. Both Aunties and Manna stepped inside the greenhouse.
And what a greenhouse it was: an octagon-shaped, completely made out of old recycled materials which made it look like it had stood there ages giving it a beautiful rustic overall look. It was so charming with its old grey, orange and yellow worn-out windowframes and rustic ground not to mention its flower boxes and colourful lights- there were even drinks ready in a small table.
The Aunties melt unavoidably and almost instantaneously- what else could they? Frozen silence which prevailed just a moment ago, was now gone: fascinated aahs! and oohs! filled the space as the Aunties and Manna looked around. Who’d have believed that Uncles could be capable to create such a pearl?! The Uncles stood on a doorway and had a wide, smug smile on their face.
