I stumbled upon a young lady mesmerized by a peculiar design and its liquid reflections. The unsullied mind took its time to unravel the beautiful message carved in stone. There was carnage on the news later that night. Mostly self inflicted, the rest dished out by a mistreated Nature. In the Chronicles of Doom, looks like, we’ve got our name printed in bold. The way out will require no new plans, but a radically different way of reasoning. It can only be delivered by an inspired generation of free thinkers raised on ideals of Enlightened Humanity, the ones brought up to be creative, not productive. The youth of today. We have to believe they will be the ones to save us. If they don’t, no prayer ever will.

The writing is on the wall – if you can see it, you can’t read it. I passed this sculpture so many times. You have to. It is made of stainless steel and placed in one of the busiest Wellington streets, in the perfect position to capture the colorful lights of the city after daylight, the nightglow of the capital. The ‘Invisible City’, as it’s called, is the gigantic panel of Braille text that highlights the communication gap between those who can’t see and the rest of us. The post is designed to remember all the folks, my countrymen and yours, the often invisible part of society, all those who finish schools, who work, play music, do sports, pay taxes, have and raise children, to the benefit of us all.

I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. Jimmy Dean The movement of atmospheric air on a planet, or wind, has been around forever, and used by us in one way or another probably from the time we figured out it was much easier to get a mammoth upwind. It is potent, infinite, moody, unpredictable, sometimes scary and is everywhere. Straight logic tempts you to try to get something out of the power that is capable of piling up fishing junks in some distant Yellow Sea port while rearranging the landscape in the Tornado Alley, at the same time. To attempt to harness the beast, get some use out of it. The way we use energy these days we better think big straight away, from the conception of the technology. And here comes the answer of a respectable size – Wind Power Turbine. A trip to the wind farm brings a sense of scale to the little pictures of turbines in information brochures and magazines, we are more accustomed to. Standing at the foot of the steel tower, Linda is completely dwarfed by the structure. Another dimension of close proximity to the farm is its sound, the beautiful and strange music of the wind muscling sail rotor around nacelle’s main shaft. Would it be good enough to say that the power of the natural movement of air across the land or sea is the potential it is claimed to be? Let’s reason along these lines: as long as it doesn’t fill our air with fatal smoke, stop salmon on a pilgrimage to the stream of its nativity, dye pristine rivers in colours from the contemporary chemistry textbooks and bath seabirds in oil, it must be worth considering. It may not be perfect but, in this point of technological time-space, it truly deserves the title of – Divine Power.

Urban Wildlife Picture Book

I am thinking of putting together a book showing the best of our Urban Wildlife Group in time for Christmas. The people I will use to publish the book would be Blurb.com who have software that allows one to design a very professional looking book including a dust jacket with inner flaps. Their pages also allow for text so one can make anything from a coffee table extravaganza to a recipe book. In order to do this, I would invite members to submit work that they consider worthy and I would also invite members whose work I admire who may have missed these notifications. For work submitted, I propose using a ‘Challenge’. It would be called the ‘Book Challenge’ and will allow you to submit one photograph of your best work. This would not be a challenge in the true sense, but would be a place to initially start gathering work for consideration. Other work would have to be submitted by email if you think it is worthy. All published photographers would have a full credit so we also need to know your real name, not your nickname! All those submitting work whether it be by invite or via the challenge, would also have to send me their images by email. Images must be of the highest quality and I would recommend sending full size images where possible. An accompanying text must also be sent with the submission. Basically this should say what the creature is and where it was photographed. Locations must not be vague, we will have a global audience as usual so ‘my back yard’ will not do, it tells us nothing. ‘My back yard, Tuscon, Texas, USA is better. The text is very important. One or two condensed but informative paragraphs are ideal telling what we are looking at, where it was photographed and how. Any interesting information about the species may also help, but please use your own words; don’t just ‘lift’ your text from Wikipedia or the like. Urban Wildlife means precisely that. It means the picture must be taken within the confines of a city or town. If it is two miles out from the city perched on a pole or crossing the road it is no longer ‘urban’. I really would like to stick to the strict confines of our group so please only submit pictures that were NOT taken out in the country or wild coast. A park within the city is fine, a park outside the city is not. So to sum up… 1. Your very best work. Jpeg Images only. / 2. Well written and informative accompanying text. / 3. Send you full size image and text (use Notepad to create a .txt file) to info@johnhootonphotography.com / 4, Include the URL of your picture so that I have a quick reference in Urban Wildlife c/o RedBubble. Although Christmas might sound quite a long way away, I have got to select, edit and compile the book by about mid November at the latest, so you can start submitting work straight away. I will limit the works to up to four per person. I think October 31st will be about the last date for submissions. I cannot guarantee that your work will appear in the book, it will be a compilation of the best of the best so there will be a limit on the number of pictures we can publish, however, I encourage you to submit your best work, and will very much welcome your effort whether it is published or not. I will probably plan the book in chapters, so we might have Birds, Insects, Butterflies, Wildlife, Mammals, Reptiles. I will probably skip flowers. We don’t have enough of them and there are stacks of books on flowers that are a subject on their own.. Bear in mind what our group is about. Start digging through your pictures and let’s create a book that we can be really proud of. By the way, books sell for a profit on Blurb and if by some miracle we happen to create a best seller, then profits would be divided up amongst the photographers on a picture by picture basis. The coffers would be reviewed every quarter. Let me know what you think by commenting, and I will attempt to answer any questions and reply here. John

We have some excellent and exciting news. And it’s about photobooks. “What’s that? Are you finally doing photobooks? Have our pleas been heard?” I only wish I could sit here typing such epic news, but due to reality never quite matching the dreams we have in our heads, we still consider photobooks to be a product a little further in our future. It will happen one day, but that day is not today. And probably not tomorrow. But we know you want them, and we don’t want to let you down. So, with Christmas on the horizon (is it me or is it always on the horizon?) we set out to find the bestest and friendliest photobook company we could in order to bring you this excellent offer. Blurb admirably reached our high product standards and agreed to work with us to bring you free shipping on any of their products until midnight 24 November (New York time). To receive the free shipping offer use the following codes during the Blurb checkout process: / - For AUD: RedBubble-09 / - For EUR: RedBubble-094 / - For GBP: RedBubble-093 / - For USD: RedBubble-092 You can take it from us, the books are of the highest quality, whether you whip up a fine photographic hardback with a dustwrapper or just a simple perfect bound collection of your short stories, you won’t be disappointed at their attention to detail. To become a Blurbarian, is much like becoming a Bubbler, you sign up for free and then can either download their BookSmart software to create your photobook, or use any editing software you already have to upload a PDF. They really couldn’t have made it much simpler or more efficient. Who doesn’t want to call themselves a Blurbarian Bubbler eh? / Are you looking for smallprint? Well it’s here: The Free Shipping offer only applies to standard economy shipping, not their private jet ‘get it before you’ve made it’ service, which is probably fair enough. And the free shipping code can be used once per customer – so make the order count!

Adriana asked me if she could have a book of the Miss Bertie bendy images, so now that the Redbubble free shipping offer is on, I thought I’d show it off to everyone. I’ve bought two of Adrian Donoghue’s books from blurb, and been very happy with them, the free shipping will save a great deal!

The new Flash Fiction Book … Flashback … is now available on Blurb. / Check out the preview here / / Please note, the book was only uploaded this evening (Monday 16 November). / I have ordered a preview copy but the postage-free deal with Redbubble will most likely run out before the preview copy arrives. / / It’s up to you, order but caveat emptor. / HOWEVER, the final pre-print was done by our very own GeorgieGirl and beautifully done I might add. So I have every confidence in the product. Please note, on check out you will need to quote the discount voucher available as a Redbubble member. Details are here FYI / There is no mark up on this book even though available for sale through my own account. In other words, available to you at cost. edit / Just an additional comment. Please don’t congratulate me. This has been a real team effort of the hosts Chanel2 (who really kicked it on with lots of enthusiasm as well as practical help), Fleece who helped with proofing, and GeorgieGirl without whom the whole thing would have stalled at the 11th hour. And of course everyone who agree to be included in the book. I’m so proud to have been a part of this team.
