Untitled (04230001)



Guy's comment about eyes in this post got me thinking about expression, and about the limited range of emotion we often see in portraits. This is not a photo that I'd give to Kate's mother, but to me the eyes say something that you don't necessarily see when the rest of the face is more expressive. I'm curious if it only works for me because I know the subject so well.

Maybe



I'm still processing September's photos. Partly because there were so many of them, and partly because I haven't been photographing since. This is getting towards the bottom of the barrel. I'm not sure if I wouldn't have rejected it if there was some fresher stuff to choose from. I can't decide whether this is of interest or not.

Evening on the Prairie



Well, not quite a sunset scene, but same time of day, looking another direction. This is Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park.

A second one from the same small room. This is actually located in the little station alongside the railway that served to bring raw materials and take the output of the factory.

I only went a little bit larger than usual here, but appreciate the option to go wider if needed. Thanks.

Just a quick note before I head off to work. I've modified the template, as you can see. I think this should better accommodate wide images, up to 800 px wide. I've still got some other changes to make, but this is a start. Let me know what you think.

an afternoon in late October, Borth



This should set Colin's colour-detection atoms vibrating. Borth is a semi-down-at-heel seaside resort a few miles North of the University town of Aberystwyth, midway up Cardigan Bay. The town is a long street along the beach featuring the worst of Welsh architecture but saved by the railway station bringing working class holiday-makers from Birmingham and Manchester (the line runs behind the one street). However, some life is being injected back into it and a half row of houses on the beach side of the road, which are obviously holiday homes, are being quirkily decorated - more California than Bournemouth. These old railway sleepers are part of the defences against winter storms.
