As part of our visit a tiny traditional Maasaii village in Northern Tanzania, we spent some time watching this outdoor infants school in action. They sang, they clapped, they recited the tables on the chalk board and they applauded when we placed money in the collection tin at the front of the class, to help raise money for a proper classroom. Older children travel 20kms per day to the nearest government school where education is free up to the completion of Elementary (Grade 7) stage.

MANY THANKS for your votes, placing this photo as the winner in the Film Photography “People” Challenge in October 2009, and I’m honoured to be featured by the Film Photography Group as well! This photo is of a British Railways Train Guard with his tobacco pipe, checking the railway platform from his Guard’s Van window. Taken in September 1972 on Ilford FP4 film, in my ergonomically all-time favourite camera, my Asahi Pentax S1a with a Takumar F/2.8 lens. Sadly there are still a number of “old film” artifacts evident in the picture in spite of many hours of careful recovery in Photoshop! This explains why I’ve limited the choice of printed medium to cards and canvas. After some additional research by my son, I’m now sure that the railway station is Crewe Station (Lancashire), and that the train is one belonging to London Midland Scottish (LMS), not London Midland Region (LMR) as I’d entered into the photo’s IPTC Caption field. Here’s a close-up of the Guardsman’s badge (or ‘button’), which (provided that it isn’t just a blood-donor’s badge or similar!) might help some UK railway enthusiast discover a bit more about this chap, and the railway network that he worked on. / / This is a 100% crop from the film-scan, with some minor contrast adjustments and with no digital noise reduction. / .
Lifeguards – South Cronulla Beach, Sydney, Australia. After a long day keeping the beach safe, these lifeguards take a well earned break. This image grabbed me as I was walking along to do the Esplanade walk in South Cronulla. Lifegaurds are such an iconic part of Australian life and the sight of this lot having a break, some catching a few zzz’s in the afternoon light, some having a laugh and a few still keeping an eye on the surf, meant I had to take a shot. The HDR part came about as I took the shot quickly and only had a single Jpeg. Given the light and textured concrete and wall, I wanted to capture all that and so decided to see how sucessful HDR would be from a single Jpeg. Nikon D90, Nikkor VR 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 @ f6.3, 32mm, 1/160 sec, ISO 200, hand held, HDR’d in Photomatix from a single Jpeg exposed 5x at 1 EV intervals, iPhoto.

Returning from walking the beach, I found this wedding taking place. I didn’t want to disrupt the ceremony so I stood and watched. As the groom waited for his bride the Mariachi Band played. Not a bad gig if you can get it; certainly a beautiful place to work! / Sanibel Island, FL, January 2009 / Pentax K200D, 1/1000, f/10, 400 ISO, 300 mm /

/ Every venue on our tour is different so every day we have the constant joy of sound checking. We use in ear monitors which means we all have our own mix instead of using big fold back speakers at the front of the stage which is a great idea in theory but usually takes a lot longer to get arranged! The size and type of venue effects the ear monitors and all of the lighting positions have to be re-arranged depending on space available. It’s a lot of work for the crew and quite tedious. I had lost the will to live by about 30 mins in felt that lying on the floor was a better option….turned out it was a nice angle to take a photograph from too! / Taken in Glenside, PA. USA.
