This is from a series I produced a few years ago in my homemade, primitive yet functional darkroom. Sadly, my enlarger now lives in the bottom of a cupboard :(

First in a series of striking images of the newest addition to the Denver Art Museum, the Hamilton Building designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, represents a different view of the newly famed building. / The sharp lines set against a dark sky create an Orwellian view of the museum creating an other worldly scene.
A winter panorama shot of the valley Valldal on the west coast of Norway, taken during the christmas holiday. Stitched together of 15 pictures. Post-processing: / Stitched some pictures together, obviously. Fixed the contrast with curves, added a lighter curve only on the lower part as the valley was pretty dark, and the mountain tops really light. Added two black and white layers set to hard light (140%), mainly on the sky and the mountain tops.
A lone figure approaching the light at the end of the tunnel. Shiga, Japan.
The main stencil image is one layer of the four layer stencil I created in early 2008 inspired by my interest in fashion photography. ‘Snow and Umbrella’ is 1 of 3, utilising the same same stencil and composition of works I’ve posted on Red Bubble at the moment. The other is ‘Rain Birds’ and ‘Umbrella and Rain’.

Shot with a Canon EOS 350D with Canon EFS 60mm macro lens. / As is .
The street was crowded with shouts and chanting. Posters with slogans I didn’t understand moved along Main Street like thicken blood in veins too clogged with soot to notice. Faces turned to the distance and then waved aside the shoulders of police to stare into me or beyond me or through me or into cameras or maybe knowing that my two eyes saw everything as an abstract painting and they didn’t want to be abstract. The proud wrinkles shouted to be seen and be remembered for the hardship that had etched its way into flesh. No, you can not turn away, you can not cover me with cosmetics, you can not still the motion of music and feet shuffling along sidewalks that once were dirt. My dirt. Their dirt. Our dirt. The land that formed everything and out of which we grew. Before cement towers blocked the view to the sea. Before garbage covered the ashes. / The ashes. The ashes. Burning limbs from a sun that sets only once some days and twice when it feels the mood. Burning wind that torches leaves and dries the dreams of soldiers of the theater. Ashes that were baked onto the hillsides before they held mosaics of naked colors and hungry lights. Ashes that were blown from nature’s own breath and will still blow again and always even as merchants try to sell hot dogs to musicians and music sells to thin, clogged ears and ears are covered from the sound that the hands have created so that nobody realizes what is really happening. Nobody hears the clapping. / Blinded. Blinded by the brain’s efforts to see more and hear more and be more and sell more and buy more until there is no more and more has no meaning because it is less. Less. Less. / Yes the street was crowded. Yet I saw only one face. And that was enough.

This is one of the power and telephone pole across the road from my house. Being so close to home it has taken me over a year to pick up the camera, walk to my front gate and take a photo of it! Added a viewfinder texture to the shot and three filters, blue, green and cooling.

My entry for the Blur Lensbaby Challenge / When I shot these images, the focus failed on one and worked fine on the next…....so I blended both images, erasing most of the top layer….. / Wish I had a lensbaby, but this is as close as it gets! Blur Take me down to where you think I belong / You can’t rescue me, you ain’t that strong / You don’t know no better, / I’m not going to tell you any better / Can you turn this pale water to wine / If you can do that baby / I think we’ll be fine / But you can’t raise a sinner / And its not me but honesty thats died / Blurring lines between love and sin / Can’t tell where you stop and where I begin / My bodies sending questions to answers you can’t give / If you throw me a line I’ll only drag you in / This ain’t New York City and the ice is thin / Kept me up all night / I’d be gone by the moment it struck daylight / You believe in fate but now you think there lies / I never meant to hurt a soul alive / I’m still searching for what you can’t give / And the further I wonder the less i know that is / Blurring lines between love and sin / Can’t tell where you stop and where I begin / My bodies sending promises that I cannot keep / Well we are bluring lines between love and sin can’t tell / Where you stop or where I begin / My bodies sending question to answers you can’t give / or can you give?
