In this location there were many apartment doors that were hidden underneath the stairs. Each had it’s own character.

Inside the Italian Chapel, Orkney. It was constructed out of 2 Nissen huts by Italian prisoners of war; the walls are painted to look like brickwork, the lantern haning by the windows are made from bully beef tins. http://www.orcadiaimages.co.uk

This is the inner staircase in the Baltic Art Gallery. I love the view when looking over the railing.
Sparks of hot molten steel are ejected as Weston-super-Mare’s blacksmith Nathan Bennett re-forms a freshly heated strip of iron. Nathan was happy for me to stand at a safe distance while I worked hard to click in synchrony with his hammer strikes. In the film era this would have been a much more expensive exercise, for sure! I’ve had lots of great feedback from this photo (in other places as well as on RedBubble) and I was pleased to give Nathan a RedBubble-laminated print as a thank-you gift. / . / A HUGE Thank You to the People At Work Group for featuring this photo in Sept/Oct 2009! / . /

I hesitated posting these, as guns in the last 10 years have been the center of controversy. These are a fine example of craftsmanship and machine work, but in a community of artists, it’s hard not to feel a shrinking back from exposure, lest my friends disapprove of my work, for the potential damage of their power. I post them only as my photography warrants, and as pieces of fine metal work. Thank you for coming to look at them. I will confess, as a teen, I was an avid shooter of targets. The one time, I killed an animal, it tore my heart out, as it was an innocent bird, who was singing its praises to its Creator. I can never get the image of that tiny fellow out of my mind, as it grasped the power line, tipping over and in the last gasp of life, dropped upside down to the ground, a victiim of a careless boy’s curiosity. God help me.
This is one example, captured at about 4 inches, of Mr. Weisbaden’s work. / He lived in Germany, in the 1950’s and was one of the world’s best metal workers on high end arms like this rifle The closer I got to the image, the more astounded I was at the ability of this man to manipulate the metal.
This gun was commissioned for manufacture and customization for VP. I know the man’s name, but the full name has been requested to not be revealed, for reasons unknowned to me or his son. / / Although his name is not mentioned, he was requested by the Dutch goverment, in 1953, to mount an operation to manage the rescue of thousands of Dutch Citiezens from the flood that year. The article can be found on Wikipedia. His specialty was helicopter operations, so the military felt he’d be the best officer to handle this sudden and critical need. Queen Julianne, of the Netherlands, commissioned these two weapons, a rifle and a shotgun to be build and engraved with lush decorations of scroll and leaf work to honor this gentleman for his efforts and organization.
This carved object, not even a half inch in diameter, is astonishing. That Mr. Weisbaden had not only the tools, but the steady hand, the discerning eye, and the vision to put such detail into something so insignificant, drew a an explosive exclamation from me, as I focused in on the metal. I hope you enjoy his work as much as I did.
