“This Charming Man” is an up-tempo song, featuring guitar, bass, and drums. The song begins with a short introductory guitar riff; and after about four seconds the rhythm section. The vocals are first heard eight seconds after this. The chorus is heard only twice. The first time it is followed by a brief pause and the second time by the closing of the song. Lyrics – Marr/Morrissey (The Smiths) A punctured bicycle / On a hillside desolate / Can nature make a man of me yet ? And in this charming car / This charming man Why pamper life’s complexity / When the leather runs smooth / On the passenger seat ? I would go out tonight / But I haven’t got a stitch to wear / This man said “It’s gruesome that someone so handsome should care” A jumped up pantry boy / Who never knew his place / He said “return the ring” / He knows so much about these things / He knows so much about these things I would go out tonight / But I haven’t got a stitch to wear / This man said “It’s gruesome that someone so handsome should care” / Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man … / Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man … A jumped up pantry boy / Who never knew his place / He said “return the ring” / He knows so much about these things / He knows so much about these things / He knows so much about these things
John Lennon played the Rickenbacker 325 ‘58 on most of the tracks on The Beatles Debut album, Please Please Me and since then many other guitarists have turned to Rickenbacker Guitars. / George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, Brian Jones, Paul Weller, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher. And the man from Decca said guitar groups were on their way out….Looks like he was wrong.
This photograph taken from the bark of a tree is food for thought. Looking inside this cylinder, I see a mysterious imprint of a unrecognizable skull, possibly from on an alien landscape or in an underground cavern on Earth. There are many unsolved closed files on alleged alien sightings. Could this be one of them? Whatever you project onto this image, it adds interest to describe what you see and the story that accompanies your vision. We all are visionaries when we open our minds and hearts to the possibility that we are not alone. If you are interested in the subject, I am reading a book, Alien Agenda by the brilliant journalist Jim Marrs, the best selling author of Crossfire, his / rigorous investigation of the JFK assassination. Are we alone? Jim Marrs, author of the New York Times bestseller Crossfire, weaves together a wealth of new and long-suppressed evidence to present this unique, definitive examination (more than 25,000 hardcover copies sold) of alien and paranormal events here - right now. Award-Winning Investigative Journalist Jim Marrs combines everything ever heard - and much that hasn’t - about extraterrestrials into a Grand Unified Theory of UFOs that encompasses everything from “ancient astronauts” to human abduction scenarios, from crop circles to government conspiracies to “missing time”. Marrs draws on eyewitness accounts and reams of hitherto classified government files, and taps sources deep within military intelligence’s “black ops” to present convincing proof that we have been visited extensively by alien lifeforms - and that the federal government has been aware of this contact for half a century. Finally, he explains why aliens are coming here, and why our leaders don’t want us to know it. As demonstrated by the mass appeal of shows like The X-Files and the willingness of respected academics like John Mack to embrace the possibility that we are not alone, interest in the alien presence among us has never been higher. I often offer a narrative to pair with my photographs. There are a myriad of images and I want to also read your perceptions of what you see. / http://images-3.redbubble.com/img/art/framecolor:black/framestyle:flat30/mattecolor:off%20white/product:framed-print/size:small/view:preview/890202-2-deep-beneath-the-surface.jpg!

Nervous, stressed, sad and confused I watch and wait as the smoke comes closer and the sky becomes red. / These bushfires are really starting to worry me. / My house and my Family are in danger. / When will it stop. / When will it stop.

“Birrarung Marr Footbridge”, Melbourne 2009 / Multiple long exposure images with HDR effect Featured in Cityscapes and City Skycapes
Incendia I see a bunch of green megaphones in a gold display.
This shot of my home city, Melbourne, looking across Princes Bridge and the Yarra River, was taken exactly two years ago, on a freezing cold winter’s day in 2007. I was standing at the parkland known as Birrarung Marr, photographing Deborah Halpern’s Angel when I realised that if I stood under the 30-foot tall (almost 10 metres) work of art , I could actually use its shape as a triangular frame for the cityscape. The perspective was perfect for me to include the city’s second-highest building, The Rialto. “Angel” was commissioned in 1987 for Australia’s Bicentennial celebrations the following year. Then in 2006 it was painstakingly moved from the south moat of the NGV (National Gallery Victoria) to its present spot at Birrarung Marr. I honestly don’t think this unusual shot would have worked as well in bright, sunny conditions – but come summer and I’ll shoot the same frame from exactly the same spot to find out, so watch this space! I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F9.5, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 50mm.
