The Henry Whitehead place.The ultimate log house, built in 1898. From logs sawn square at a nearby mill, a tight-fitting crib was built with hardly any spaces left to chink. The corners are worked to near perfection. Most of the interior log faces, ceiling joists and boards were dressed with a hand plane. How many endless strokes brought them up to this smoothness? The wall toward the prevailing wind was weatherboarded to keep out wind and rain, and to preserve the chinking. A brick chimney, rare for the Smokies, was made of brick molded and fired on the property. A transition house, this one is a beautiful blend of log work and sawmill technology. By contrast, the older cabin was built almost entirely with a felling axe under emergency circumstances. Rough-hewn logs with jagged ends, and the rubble stone chimney show the most hasty kind of construction. This pair of dwellings represents about the roughest and finest of log construction in the Smokies. Sepia tones can be ajusted on request by e-mail

Fractal Manipulation Om (Oṃ) / Like many mantras, this one begins with “Om”. Om has no meaning, and its origins are lost in the mists of time. Om is considered to be the primeval sound, the sound of the universe, the sound from which all other sounds are formed. / In the Brahminical tradition, from where Buddhism undoubtedly obtained mantra practice, Om is not just the universal sound, but the sound of the universe itself. For example in the (non-Buddhist) Mandukya Upanishad, it is said: / Om! — This syllable is this whole world. / Its further explanation is: – / The past, the present, the future — everything is just the word Om. / And whatever else that transcends threefold time — that, too, is just the word Om. / Om is therefore a sound symbolizing reality. It represents everything in the universe, past, present, and future. It even represents everything that is outside of those three times. It therefore represents both the mundane world of time in which the mind normally functions, and the world as perceived by the mind that is awakened and that experiences the world timelessly. It represents both enlightenment and non-enlightenment. please continue reading here: Wildmind Buddhist Meditation http://www.wildmind.org/mantras/figures/shanti

Shanty Town in Cape Town, South Africa A typical homestead in a shanty town. Being given the opportunity to see how the people of this town live was such an incredible experience. They are humble, real, satisfied, good natured, and above all else, they are happy with what they have. They do not ask for more, they live for the moment, for each other and have a sense of peace about them that I have not encountered with anyone in the western world before. There is no danger here, despite being warned about going into a place like this, we were only greeted with acceptance. / It would be so easy for them to dislike us for living better lives, invading their spaces, treating them as an attraction. All we were faced with were smiles and a want to talk to and learn from us. / Truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Taken from inside a bus, traveling at around 15km/h, camera lens pressing up against the glass, sun behind me, thankfully.

A classic Australian scene, depicting a deserted and decaying old wood and tinned roof shack, with the harsh but beautiful Australian bush as a backdrop. The third image in this series. This wonderful old shack is just outside of Melbourne, in the Kangaroo Grounds/Christmas Hills area. I’ve put directions on my Flickr stream if anyone is interested in checking the place out.

“Your roof is bewhiskered, your floor is a-slant, Your walls seem to sag and to swing; I’m trying to find just your faults, but I can’t - You poor, tired, heart-broken old thing! I’ve seen when you’ve been the best friend that I had, Your light like a gem on the snow; You’re sort of a part of me - Gee! but I’m sad; I hate, little cabin, to go.” excerpt from ‘Good-Bye, Little Cabin’, Robert William Service (1874 – 1958) A classic Australian scene, depicting a deserted and decaying old wood and tinned roof shack, with the harsh but beautiful Australian bush as a backdrop.

The first nine images in this series are available for purchase separately as prints and canvases. Images #10-13 were created specifically for my 2010 Calendar and will not otherwise be available for purchase. ‘Shack #15’, while being the same building and from the same shoot, is technically not part of the original ‘Shack’ series, as it has been processed differently. It is a one-off. :) This one is very dark, and can be seen better on my website (the last image in the ‘Shack’ gallery). For anyone in the Melbourne/Victoria area who wants to find this wonderful old shack, see my directions here.
