Chair



Last week I watched a film created for Lucian Freud’s Self Portrait show at the Royal Academy a few years ago and was inspired to shoot a few self-portraits, just for the hell of it, still using the 60mm macro lens.


Some chairs in the window of a fast-food restaurant, as seen through the lightly telescopic 60mm macro lens (90mm equivalent) with a reflection of the lens in the upright at the centre.




Some more pattern abstraction from 2006.

Many of the rooms were decorated around the theme of a particular colour.

A couple more of the images I collected in Farnham of the bright sunlight flooding our apartment. The one above, shot on Ilford HP5 at 6 x 4.5 cm and the one below shot digitally.


One of the things I miss most about Farnham is living in a bright, sunny apartment. A couple of the last (digital) light play images I shot there.


Alternately, in black and white:


After our 6½-mile walk, we had lunch at a pub and proceeded through the Harnham Water Meadows (shown in previous posts) to the Salisbury Cathedral. Lots of postcard-type images inside the cathedral, below (click any of the images to see them full-sized – if you’re seeing this on the web, not in email).


















In this waltz through the archive of September pictures we’ve now arrived at 2009, a mere 14 years ago. In the course of this archival stroll we’ve advanced from a 5MP digicam to a 6MP DSLR (Konica Minolta 7D) and now to the 12MP Nikon D300. At the time, each one felt an important step, now I find it hard to pay attention to each new year’s technical refinements.







Edinburgh was packed with tourists Our first popular stop was the Church of St Giles (the High Kirk of St Giles). Outside it you can also find the stature of Sir Walter Scott, or to give him his full honorific as the plaque beneath the statue does, “Walter Francis Montagu Douglas Scott, 5th Duke of Buccleugh and 7th Duke of Queensberry, KG.” Click any image (and maybe the post title first) to see all the pictures full-sized.












While in Ghent, we visited this historic cathedral. Click any image to see them large (click post title, above, first if that’s not working).
The notorious Dartmoor Prison maintains a museum!


HM Prison uniforms. Note that women are not issued shoes.

The prison camera and the sitter’s chair for keeping bums in seats, requires the patience of the Buddha. If viewing in email, click the post title to click into the images and see them larger.
