I met Oswald when in the UK recently. He saw me taking shots on the market and came over to chat. His wonderful Caribbean accent fascinated me. He like myself had also lived the Southampton in the 70’s and 80’s so we had a great chat about what it was like then. At the end he graciously allowed me to take a couple of pictures of him. A wonderful meeting.

Yes I know it’s in Colour!!!

I was challenged by a mate on FB to post things that make me happy the next five days . I took this today with my iPhone4s. I liked it so much I thought I’s share it with you. It’s of my old war horse of a bike I have owned and ridden since the late 90’s. We’ve covered many Kilometres of tarmac together including 3 of the 4 Trondheim to Oslo rides (540 KM’s) I have completed. in addition all the training rides and smaller tour rides. Now I just use it to cycle the 36 kms back and forth to work. Today in the rain both ways .

This bike make me happy.

You’ve heard no doubt “Re-Work Wednesday”. Well this is “Try again Tuesday” This is a shot I took at Stonehenge in 2011. Taken with my Leica MP with a Nikkor 20mm mounted via a Novoflex LeiNik converter. I used Fuji Reala film and the basis of this shot is a 1 hour lab scan. I’ve used a wet plate filter in Analog Efex Pro to achieve the effect.

I Just thought I’d share last weeks contribution on Monochromia with you.

Monochromia

I’ve tried a little humour for this weeks post. My previous shots have been a little on the darker side. This shot is cropped on the righthand side I once read somewhere that if it is cropped it’s not a street shot. I don’t abide by such rules, It’s my image I’ll do as I please. I Still I think it made for a nice shot and tells a story. What do you think?
