…with some of the neighbors.
They make their voices heard throughout the night.
Though prefer not to be seen.

Hasselblad 500 CM/CF-39, 135 mm Zeiss S-Planar T* on Automatic Bellows

A bombing in Manchester, 22 young people dead, and over 50 wounded.
Stupidity in seats of power; climate change denial; and toxic poisoning of life support systems.
An overcast day. Does the personal need to become ever smaller
require that I sell all the tools of what was once my trade, craft and art?
Like the wonderful, though aged, Hasselblad system?
Do these represent the last photographs I create with this camera?
Too little sleep. Too many aches: of body, mind, heart and soul. Sadness.

First weekly assignment

“THE COLOUR RED!”
The subject content is your call, however the “COLOUR RED” is the mandatory aspect.  🙂
Now CREW let your imagination run wild!
YOUR SUBMISION IS DUE 22-05-2017
And as long as I’m still vertical & breathing? 🙂
Heck I will be! I will endeavour to do critiques and pick a winner for the most imaginative!  🙂
cheers,
Dr. Ted  O.C.

And so I wonder, as I have so many times before,
when does Red become Orange, or Violet, or Maroon, or Burgundy?

Photographers collect the look of people, places and things in the world.
We use our cameras as entomologists use their nets.
