Rob, really enjoyed your 'fats domino' and 'five' images. You must be entering a new phase, where your try to find new ways of seeing ordinary things in new ways.

Thank you John. The 'Fats' thing is only newish for me because I wanted to go beyond what the cat delivers when focussed as best it can be. There seems to be a critical point between in and out when it works in an interesting way without going too far out. For commercial purposes it was always 'in' and that was quite a challenge with 64 ASA films!

Regarding '5', it's something for which I had no commercial calls - but it is very much a memory 'thanks' to Saul Leiter, as is a lot that I do these days- Discovered him in the late 50s and then he vanished from my area across the mighty Atlantic but for a sporadic period when he graced Nova and similar. It's not easy to get into the mood with digital; takes a bit of messing about to degrade enough...

;-)

Another, with my original 500 cat before my male menopause when I dumped everything for 6x7 (I know, I know!), but this was, I think, Kodachrome 200, which was rather special too.

Shot a long time ago with a cheap fixed lens film camera (the film was probably a Fuji Superia 200).
In the middle there are 2 doves who spent half of a winter on the same branch outside my apartment window, 3 stories high, until one night I didn't see them anymore.

This is a multiple exposure image. It finally dawned on me that if I exposed a few images I would get a similar effect to a very long exposure because the water was moving.

Yes, Peter; I think it was one of the little yellow ones that fits into the back part of the lens. I remember seeing some great shots with these lenses where everything was blue, or green, too, and thinking how strange the new world they discovered. Thing is, I almost never had clients wanting that kind of stuff, so it almost never got shot. This particular one was done as part of a stock thing I had going based on Mediterranean 'atmospherics'. I was quite enthusiastic, until the Stone agency rang me up asking me to stop sending Med pix because the entire London stock business was awash, nay, drowning in similar material...

Too many people, too many agencies, too few paying clients. Like any good idea, it has its time during those first few years before the rest of the world latches onto it too.

It's a much more interesting effect than a long exposure of water, which I've now seen in photos more times than a nude woman arching her back in euphemistic desire. Looks like brush-strokes :-) Pity about the big watermark, but I guess if you need to protect your image...

Patricia, Eric: thanks very much - I enjoy finding something that just fits itself well!

On the one hand I think life is full of such things, then on the other hand, they seem so difficult to discover despite being there all along. Perhaps we, as photograhers, simply have on and off days. Wish I could find the switch.

In this case the switch was on, and you caught that last triangle of sunlight...seconds later the switch would be off.

Damn! I knew it wasn't ever going to be my finger on that switch!

(Which reminds me of the new politico heading up the UK's left... forget that, Rob! At once!)

Nice. Looks bleak: I hope you had a stiff Scotch waiting when you got back inside!
