Work and Pensions

Just found these 2 images lingering on the chip in an older camera. The interaction of sunlight with this building at the end of our street in Brighton, housing the Department of Work and Pensions and a Job Centre (most of whose workers seemed to spend a lot of their time taking smoke breaks directly under our windows), often stuck me as offering photographic possibilities, though I never captured them.

Fresnel

Point Loma, San Diego

We visited the old lighthouse and its museum where we learned about the fresnel and I took pictures from a number of angles, attempting to capture the colors passing through the prisms. We also visited the adjoining lighthouse keeper’s home and ascended the stairs and took a look out the window across the bay to San Diego.

Screened

Brooklyn, NY

I’ve been checking out what all the miscellaneous photo apps I have on my computer are, preparing to trade in my MacBook and found Tonality from MacPhun, apparently a B&W conversion tool. Looking for an unimportant file to play with I found this one from walking around Brooklyn during a workshop I did about 5 years ago with Alex and Rebecca Norris Webb. It looks pretty interesting, so I decided to post it.
