Snapped this at our fam reunion a few weeks back. Pictured is my mom talking to my brother (and his wife) next to my mom's mom who has severe Alzheimer's. I just love how detached, relaxed and care free she looks.

Not from 2014 (dates back to 2011) but thought it complemented sktsh's second. In honour of the erstwhile Rolling Photo Wheel....

I do like that.

Ryoji Ikeda's Spectra installation in Westminster. Obv, the place is crawling with DSLRs, and we're probably all taking the same pictures. Oh well.

My girlfriend and a couple of her friends did a 5k yesterday, involving a mess of paint powder. None of them are visible in this shot.

A cautionary tale about color runs and zoom lenses

Lens seems to have been fine after the colour run.

A couple of weeks ago:

And today, lovely light but only had my phone with me and I just don't seem to have the skill some people seem to have when it comes to phone photos:

I took my medium format camera out today in an attempt to finish the roll of film, took two photos and went home. Just wasn't into it at all. It's starting to worry me.

well for me the stuff i like to shoot (basically people and street scenes) are no longer available -- it's funny, i live in a p beautiful area (like a very short walk from this http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/15272580.jpg, which is not my pic), but nature photography is sorta boring to me (even though l love nature) and the rhythm of my daily life no longer compels me to keep a camera handy

like i think i should go on a vacation (which i need anyway) to reignite my passions, so to speak

also i think something is wrong with my leica and i'm scurred to send it away to whoever that old guys is that fixes them

Yeah, nature stuff is very difficult to make interesting. Part of my problem is I'm struggling to see anything "fresh" or new in my surroundings at the moment. Also discovered I've got some fungus or something in one of my MF lenses, so that hardly helped my enthusiasm levels.

It doesn't help that I've not been doing a challenge or project to make sure I'm actually going out of my way to take photos.

i think maybe i will do this, come up with a good rural New England project -- problem is, a lot of interesting portraiture is available to me and like really really not available (ie - patients, hospital, etc)

1st looks almost staged, wonderful positioning/framing/lighting.

yeah that's perfect, beautiful & mundane

Thanks! I was on the other side of Oxford Street waiting for a gap in the traffic. Guy took a drag on his cigarette (go in close and you'll see the tip is alight) just at the right time.

Another gig shoot at Daylight Music. Easy to take pics in there - lovely light, static subjects. It's avoiding other photographers that's the problem.

(This was Kristin McClement and her drummer/harmonium player)

They used one of my pics of Ex-Easter Island Head from May as the flyer for the Autumn schedule:

I went on a short holiday. Hundreds more where these came from.
