Venemous colors invite her to take a bite from the forbidden fruit, with a hint of gardenbeauty. And this was shot on Mallorca of all places?


If not Mallorca, then a perverse Garden of Eden somewhere.

Yes, Puerto Pollensa, at the entrance to a small bar/eaterie. So far, I only have the odd coffee there. Well I suppose most coffees are odd, especially when they take the caff out of 'em which process may make them worse than the straight! But, it's our duty, as snappers, to brave these challenges to the greater glory of our art.

Inspired by Rob

That's a novel experience for me! But really, thank Saul instead; he's the man!

But beware: it can become compulsive.

A bit of colour. Went to Lausanne to see a production of Faust, and stayed in the directors appartment :)

Nice one; funny glass edges always do it for me. There was - probably still is - a great set of them in the front door(?) at Glasgow's Pollok House, where I did a few fashion shoots as well as one calendar one. I think they also were present in other places within the property. It had the odd distinction of requiring two separate sets of pemissions-to-shoot: one from the body looking after interiors, and another from the good folks covering the gardens.

I think I owed my hunt for them to Sarah Moon: catch the model at the edge of bevel and main glass plane, and you get a double part-image that can be fascinating, especially in colour. Isn't diffraction amazing?

That'll be two hundred bucks, please!

No diffraction here, I'm afraid.

But the keys aren't crossed... innocence may be a bit far away by now.

I, of course, am totally innocent.

Innocence knows no morals.

Anyway... a piece of Cynthia from her concert last week.

A side-light, I found myself sitting alongside another photog, working for the venue. She is an "erotic photographer", or personal pornographer if you wish: she takes photos of people doing things they wouldn't want their mother to see. Possibly another niche that will resist technology :)

Aren't you overlooking the ubiquitous selfie? Imagine one covering both acts... best not go there.

Graham,
How I envy your young subjects, all of whom can read without having to put on their spectacles!
I can vaguely remember what that was like for me, many years ago.

This is a fine series.

Eric, all you need's glaucoma: until I was 44 I used no specs at all. Then, I realised I was playing imaginary trombone with books. But distances were no problem whatsoever, so I bought reading specs.

Came glaucoma and everything went ass for elbow: now I can read perfectly well sans glasses, but distances require their own set of spectacles. You couldn't make it up. You wouldn't want to! I'd rather need specs to read but not to drive.

But hey, if you want sad, hear this:

Specs aren't the worst deal to get thrust upon one; angels can bring problems too!

Thanks Eric :-)

It's funny, the other day I was thinking that there seemed to be a very high proportion of spectacle wearers here... but then I've somehow managed to recruit from the others without realising it  :D

Oooh!

In some societies you'd be stoned for being non-PC and not giving everybody an equal chance: for ever model wot gets snapped, an unphotogenic sister must get the same number of snaps. I hate politcal correctness. It wastes resources such as film and digital energy. If you let it.

Welcome home! I hope the trip was good in all senses of the word.

Not a bad entrance to a loo!

Looks like some fairly high-powered food has been consumed over the years. I think that's perhaps an electrical connection dangling at the end of its cable? In Mallorca, the loos in bars seem to suffer from a very short automatic timer system: I've lost count of the number of times I've had to finish off in the dark. Guess it's the source of the ditty: no matter how you shake your peg, the last drop always gets your leg. Having said which, the things (lights) are at least usually connected, which must say something about the Spanish economy v. the Moroccan!

I remember on a motorway in France stopping at one of those 'aire' places (without fuel and shops) for a rest, and using the loo. No seats over which to hover (you need good legs to perform the hover trick or, like myself, be very light), but two footprints on which to stand - a bit as in parts of India. Also, there appeared to be no flushing device, but the moment I opened the door to escape, a flood of water shot out towards my feet. You have to know the house rules to use these places.
