This one was a serendipitous shot. After having to take Atticus round the dog park in Washington Square the sun had all but set and there was a taxi with its lights on full beam shining right through the other denizens of the area, the manual settings from the dog park were still dialled in and this is the resulting photo.
Did you see that image on the interwebs the other day. It was a poster like this that said ‘Have you seen this poster’ and the tear-off strips at the bottom all said ‘Yes’.
For First Friday Art Walk in Portland I met up with the usual suspects for a couple of hours of night urban photography. I tried to do the whole thing flash-less which meant some nice bokeh wherever I pointed the camera.
Our luchador money box was full so I emptied it and couldn’t resist a photo or three while my cheese on toast toasted.
There’s no real consensus on how to pronounce Bokeh. For me it rhymes with ‘okay’. Did you know in America the Hokey Cokey is the Hokey Pokey? That’s one of my favourite ‘liddle differences’. From Wolfe’s Neck park again as threatened in my last post…
I want to ride my bicycle, but there appear to be issues of scale.
Mornin’ folks, I got an email from a mate of mine I’ve mentioned here before, Mr. Joop. He needs 3 minutes of your time…
I need your help!! I am pursuing a grant to photograph wedding celebrations around the world.
My goal is to highlight the many cultural and colorful differences of this world while emphasizing the huge similarities of people across borders. Please vote for my project & Please, forward this link to anyone you know who would be interested in this… This is crucial! If you forward this, and ask people to forward further, my chances increase tremendously. Deadline is April 3, 2009.
Thank you!!

Go on, send a Belgian around the world… Thanks 🙂
Waiting for DrSita, Sudarat and Michelle to take their respective turns in Jenga! I took advantage of the rarefied atmosphere to snap the view from my strategic placement on the floor…

Here’s the little camera that prompted me to register the domain vintageviewfinders.com. It was a bargain all round. I’ve not taken many TTV shots lately, but will soon…
If you’re reading this on the site and not via email, I spent a couple of hours trying to make it so you can click on the main photo to view the next image. It was surprisingly tricky but I managed it in the end. Now you don’t have to fiddle around trying to find the link each time. There’s never been a better time to have a look through the archives (this is photo #251 😀 )
Also on the cards is a button to switch the background to white or grey depending on your mood. Don’t hold your breath for that one mind, but I’m on it.

Lovely word that, catkin. While doing some (brief) research on wikipedia I found out they’re called amentos in español. I was wondering whether catkin was a UK English thing or not, I’ve not heard it crop up in conversation in the States, but then again, I s’pose it wouldn’t really…
This was taken within 10 minutes of the teasels one from yesterday.
I’m not sure where my obsession with photographing teasels springs from. Maybe because they were omnipresent on walks in the country when I was little. Maybe because my Grandma used to make little figures out of them. Maybe because I got read Mrs. Tiggywinkle & other Beatrix Potter books from an early age. Or maybe it’s because you don’t have to bend down and contort your body to get a decent angle, they don’t reflect the sun too much, and the way they grow lends themselves to basic composition rules…
Anyroad, please find attached some teasels. Hope you like’em.
I think I’ve got enough photos to get through this week… but let’s start with the minimalism to your left and get more maximal as the week plods by, what do you reckon?
Also, from now on, if you’re viewing this on the actual website rather than via email/RSS there’ll be a link to Flickr at the bottom of each picture just in case you’re into that kind of thing.
A collage of photos with this new lense thing that started last night and finished this morning.
Happy Friday 13th/ Valentine’s depending on your blog browsing habits.
I’m loving this new lense. It means I can finally shoot decent shots indoors among other things… You’ll have to take me word for that though, here’s a candle and I think it’s a window reflected on the countertop? Abstraction…
