1930's Vale of the White Horse at 4mm to the foot.
This enormous model represents a linear mile of Oxfordshire countryside. The models are all of real buildings though the landscape is more generic of the area.

Taken with Ansco Automatic Reflex f3.5 - a failed attempt by American company to create a Rolleiflex TLR killer in late 1940s. Nonetheless it is a beautiful over-engineered camera.
Four builders taking their lunch break at Southbank caught me trying to take a sneaky photo - and smiled for the camera!
These women are garment workers returning home after their shift. These are some of the women who make "brand names" for the European markets. They travel on overcrowded vehicles which often crash. They earn about 140$ per month which might just buy you a pair of Adidas trainers/boots made in Cambodia

Railway worker - Grahamstown, South Africa. This is another image that has remained in my portfolio for many years (see earlier uploads in my photostream).
Please view large.
I took it while I was a student studying for my Postgraduate Higher Diploma of Journalism at Rhodes University.
I was crossing the railway bridge when I looked down and saw this worker walking along the tracks. Immediately I saw the potential for a graphic composition using the structure of the bridge railing. Then it was just a matter of waiting for the worker to walk into the right position in the composition. All I had time for was one shot. My heart jumped when I pressed the shutter and I instantly knew I had captured something worthwhile. It's a good example of anticipating the moment.
Famous South African photographer, Obie Oberholzer, my teacher and mentor at the time, praised the image when he saw it. He suggested I print it on a high contrast paper to add more impact, which is of course exactly what I did.
I followed his advice and this image has stood me in good stead over the years.
My camera at the time was a Pentax ME 1. Shot on Ilford HP5, developed and printed in the University darkroom.
Hope you enjoy it too.

Well, it's Thursday and several huge things have passed and I feel like I can finally stop and take a breath. So back to the photos.
There's not much architecture in the Costa del Sol...I did find a few bits though. Actually I always love these hideous hotels with their homogeneity. Thankfully there weren't too many Union Jack/Playboy towels hanging over the balconies.
Rotated to twist with your melon man.
The folk art on the pottery in Bangladesh tell stories of village life, of happiness, of family life and the life of the hard working people of Bangladesh. As for Dhamrai, it is the holy grail for the ancient “almost lost” art of pottery. Being losing all the glory in plastic and aluminum, many pottery artist still make pottery in the traditional way at the village in Shumulia,Dhamrai.
That a village where potters make all the terracotta pots, thalis, earthen ware that is still not so widely used in Bangladesh.

This is an under-aged worker in a lathe machine workshop in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The workshop produces spare parts for automobiles. Young labors, like these work under harsh working conditions without proper protection and are severely underpaid. But, for some this is the only way to support their impoverished families.

This dude is busy with his take away (parcel) lunch, while I was looking for bird photography. Immediately few ant photos by my flickr friends' ( Yuga, Krish & Adarsh) flashed immediately. I quickly removed 300 mm / f4 and fixed reversal ring and 50mm/f1.7, so fast that I did not bother to cover the lids of 300 mm while keeping an eye on this dude's path. After couple of DOF trials as he is moving, finally got him. Lucky to get that plane of focus ( you can see the leg on the other side of the ant is in focus along with body and the leg in front of plane is not). Of course, reversal ring and extension tubes drive you nuts if you do not have patience when trying to achieve your requirement within the available plane of focus. Phew !!! Glad to have one satisfactory shot with poor man's equipment (people use diplomatic words when you do not have macro lens)
The orange shade on the upper portion is the ground sand, the bottom shade is the paint on the side of the wall. Basically this is taken aiming the camera downwards when ant is crawling on the side of the wall

Also go through some 16 (sixteen) facts about ants which I collected from Internet.
1. Ants live up to 40-60 days.
2. There are 12,000 species of ants.
3. They have two stomachs.
4. If an ant weights 1 gram, it can lift up to 20 grams.
5. Ants normally range from 2 to 7 mm in length. But carpetenter ants can stretch to 2 cm to 1 inch.
6. Army ants can have about 7,00,000 members in their colony.
7. The Harvester Ants frequently visit grass fields to harvest and store the grass seeds. Specialized workers crack the seeds for the other ants to eat.
8. The brain of the ant has about 250,000 brain cells, which is the largest among all the insects
9. The life span of a male ant is smaller than that of a female ant.
10. Ants don’t have ears. Ants "hear" by feeling vibrations in the ground through their feet.
11. The average queen ant lives for up to 6 years, and will produce up to 2 million offspring throughout her lifespan. Should an established queen ant die, the colony will fall to death within weeks.
12. Leaf-Cutter ants build humongous nests that can go deep into the ground up to 26 feet. These nests can have up to 8 million Leaf-cutter ants in just one colony.
13. The ant has two eyes, each eye is made of many smaller eyes. They are called compound eyes.
14.The common Black Ants and Wood Ants have no sting, but they can squirt a spray of formic acid.
15. At night the worker ants move the eggs and larvae deep into the nest to protect them from the cold. During the daytime, the worker ants move the eggs and larvae of the colony to the top of the nest so that they can be warmer
16. Army Ants are nomadic and they are always moving.
