whats funny to me about this photo is that I had a fairly decent camera, canon something, roughly 300 dollars US, had it three years and never used it. Bob was the first thing I decided to shoot (this was 2002). I had no idea what I was doing, I couldn’t focus well, I didn’t know what apature was, and yet, this is one of my favorite photos Ive ever taken. / I had a great deal more photographs of this set-up, but they were developed and the negatives have been gone for years, and the proofs themselves, they probably disappeared around the few years where I had 4-5 roommates at a time. I’m glad he didn’t pose for me while we did this, I think it wouldn’t have turned out as well if he did.
I really like the way this old fire escpape hung down into this alley. / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography
Leilani in Dinghy on River was created on textured canvas paper using an array of mediums including ink, pastel, acrylics and charcoal. The original painting is a little bluer in hue, I have digitally altered Leilani in this image, to encourage the green tones.

Originally I had another picture titled Orange Peel but when I decided to upload this one I was conflicted – surely THIS one is far more apt for the Orange Peel title. I thought about calling them both Orange Peel but decided that just wouldn’t work. If I called this one Orange Peel it would detract from the other’s title, causing people to ask the question “Did he name that other one Orange Peel by mistake?” So I decided to save everyone a lot of anguish and I renamed the other one Orange Skin and passed the title of Orange Peel onto this far more deserving candidate. Anyway, this is a close up of part of a metal dinghy that is moored on the beach near where I live. Don’t ask me to analyze the shot too much coz I can’t really, it’s just one of those images that I like and I’m damned if I know why. I just dig the brightness of the orange, almost Mediterranean in it’s hue, the nautical ropes dangling across in contrast, and of course, the peeling and scraped paint that reveals a raw metal underneath. I could just imagine this little metal dinghy once upon a time with it’s completely bright orange interior intact, and the owner proud to have his new little “runabout”. Now it shows it’s age and it’s experience, possibly full of fishing trips, coastal explorations and general family fun. It makes me determined to have a similar little runabout for when my son is old enough to enjoy such things, to come on fishing trips with his Dad. Yes, it’s a fine little boat I think :o)

Well, not quite. / Taken in Looe, Cornwall in September. There were about a dozen dingys in the water, and I think the oldest person ailing was about 10, but there were support craft around, and all the kids had life jackets on. Thank you for looking. / Hope you like it.
The zen of a yellow dingy.
I remember The Sea was as calm as a Millpond and covered with an unseasonal fog too… / Working late one night, a young couple approached me and asked to rent a boat. / “Its very late” I said. “Maybe you could come back on the morrow and I’ll rent ye one then” / “Please” he said “My new wife and I would like to take a moonlit cruise out in the bay” / “Well” I said “seeing as how calm it is, and I will be working here for a while to come… Go on then, take 584. She’s tied up over yonder” And with that, he thanked me… and left. I watched as he helped his bride over the gunwale, settled himself in, placed the oars into the oarlocks and pushed off from the pier. / I went back to me work and lost track of time as one does late at night. / It was well after One in the morning when I started to wonder about the young couple. / Strange though it be to go for a sail in the dead of night, I’ve had stranger requests believe me. / I felt sure they would be able to see the Piling Docklights through the fog, and I was starting to worry that something might have gone awry whilst they were well out in the bay. / 2 a.m came and went with narry a sign of them, now I felt sure that something had gone wrong with their little voyage… but there was nothing I could do with such a heavy fog to try to find them. You’d have to ram into the little craft to find it, and that wouldne done anybody any favours. So I steeled myself and waited until first light to organise a search for the couple and their wee boat. But they were never seen again… The funny thing was, no-one else reported that anyone was missing. The Police came and interviewed me, and then the newspapers came. I gave the same story to both, described the couple as best I could, and told of their strange request. After a while people started to think I was going crazy… said that I was seein things. / “Too much to drink” they said. After a while I stopped telling the story… Because no-one was coming to rent ma boats. So there ya have it….The story of why ma boat numbers go from 583 to 585. / You’re the first person I’ve ever told the story to in 50 years! And on nights like this very one…when the sea is at a dead calm… / Sometimes I see a Ghostly wee craft slowly moving in and out of the fog…. And I screams…and yells… “BRING BACK ME BOAT YA FECKIN BASTARDS!!”
