As I have not managed to find much opportunity or inspiration of late I decided to start a series of posts pulling images from my archive …the steel vault buried deep in a subterranean labyrinth far from prying eyes. These photos are from a holiday (vacation) I took a few years ago in the Norfolk … Continue reading Windmills of the Norfolk Broads (from the archive)
I haven’t been able to get out much of late to photograph but my family and I did manage a few hours recently visiting The Huntington Library which is a botanical garden in Pasadena near LA, here in California. The gardens are split into different types focusing on a range of regions, desert, jungle and … Continue reading Wandering the Chinese Garden at the Huntington
Earlier this year I was in a quandary about a Canon 7 rangefinder I had purchased. It was a fine camera and worked very well but it didn’t quite spark a light.. I liked it and had yearned for one for a while but I didn’t really need it. I wrote about it here on … Continue reading Prominent stands out
Some more pictures from the lost roll I had developed recently. This wasn’t some lucky find in a thrift store camera purchase this was just my own failing mixed with some significant life changes. If you haven’t seen Pt 1 you can read it here. The film was intended to re-start my home developing which … Continue reading Pictures from a lost roll – Pt 2
“So how does a roll get lost” I hear you ask, well…. The plan was to get back into developing my own film. I had all the equipment I needed and had bought some developer to do it with. But I needed something to develop. I didn’t want to use an “important” roll of film … Continue reading Pictures from a lost roll – Pt 1
In my last post (here) I shared some photos I took of my youngest daughter during a trip we took as a short break while I had some work to do. I said I would follow up with some more photos from that trip. The trip came about because I had some activity at work … Continue reading On location in the California countryside #2
A few weeks ago a work commitment meant I was not going to be able to give my young daughter the attention she needs during the day and I would need to focus 100% on this task. My wife is in a very high pressure job and as a result is usually more absorbed in … Continue reading On location in the California countryside
A few years ago my wife took me to D23 which is the Disney equivalent of Comic-Con. It is full of people in extensive and accurate Cosplay outfits and there is everything a Disney-phile could possibly want to see. On this occasion they had an area dedicated to the proposed new ‘Star Wars Land’ feature … Continue reading Galaxy’s Edge
Golden hour in my neighborhood plus a vintage lens helped me break through a inspiration block. Continue reading Lock-down in my neighborhood… searching for inspiration
The area where I have done most of my lunchtime photo walks over the last few years, close to where my office building was, consists of a main street filled with typical restaurants and stores. The buildings are more interesting than most streets in this area and one of those buildings is the Nicholl Building where the Motion Picture & Television Fund health service is situated.
I have not been able to find details of who designed the building but it has similar themes (at least in my eyes) to Meier’s Getty Center in Los Angeles.
