We've seen these guys up there before, but I never had a chance to get a picture. I think they're cleaning the roof. They're probably 16 or 17 stories up!

We were wandering around the Walini tea plantation on Java when this truck full of workers gave a wave.

Rabochiy i Kolkhoznitsa (Worker and Kolkhoz Woman) (Russian: Рабочий и колхозница Rabochiy i Kolkhoznitsa) is a sculpture of two figures with a sickle and a hammer raised over their heads. It is 24.5 meters (78 feet) high, made from stainless steel by Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and subsequently moved to Moscow. The sculpture is an example of the socialist realistic style, as well as Art Deco style. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol.

Railway worker - Grahamstown, South Africa. This is another image that has remained in my portfolio for many years (see earlier uploads in my photostream).
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.
Today we were called to a construction site above Bacup where new wind turbines are being installed. A worker had fallen 40' on to a platform part way up the turbine shaft and sustained multiple injuries. The ambulance service Hazardous Area Response Team packaged the casualty and the team provided the rope work to lower him for the carry to the waiting air ambulance. A multi agency rescue, RPMRT - so much more than just mountains.
Room 4: The IT Room
Teams had to guess the passwords to log in to 4 office-workers computers based on clues on their desks. This room was themed around Kays Catalogue company, who used to own the templeworks building, and came complete with 4 actors who spent their time discussing missing shipments and office gossip for added atmosphere :-)

Photos from the "Check In, Check Off" event organised to take part in Leeds Digital Festival 2011.
The event was concieved, planned and executed by a group of people (me included) from multiple digital agencies around leeds with a desire to do something great for the fesitval. It was split into 2 parts - first a treasure hunt between the Corn Exchange and Temple Works via Granary Wharf where teams of players needed to find and answer questions realting to easily-overlooked sights along the route, along with a little QR trickery to prepare them for the main event - 4 themed games at the historic Grade-1 listed semi-derelict Templeworks Mill in Holbeck.
The themed games wove digital and reality as puzzles - each "room" had an 8 minute time limit per team, and were stylistically themed complete with mood lighting and actors as "the nurses office", "the library", "the it room" and "the toilets". Each room had a different puzzle invloving QR codes and Augmented Reality. I created a custom mobile web-app to tie everything together - recording scanned qr codes, tracking players and their phones against their teams, managing the instructions for each room and the time limit, calculating scores, and even managing which team needed to go to which room to efficiently manage 4 teams all playing 4 different games at a time.

Chandler Wine Merchants. Which was on Gordon Avenue where it meets Portswood Road, Southampton. I believe the building is still there. My aunt, Florence Ethel Le Marechal, is in the middle.
