In the forgotten alleys of Kashgar there is a quietness, an eerie lack of activity that is a clear manifestation of abandonment. This shot captures a common sight. With money, commerce, growth, development and opportunity in abundance on the ‘Chinese side’ of town, the Uyghurs are left behind. It’s easy and selfish, as a tourist, to be caught up in the ‘romantic’, traditional way of life in which occupied people like the Uyghurs still live. It is important however to step back and appreciate the disgraceful inequality of benifit from prosperity.

I shot this youngster from a descrete distance. I wish I could have gone to chat a little with him but I don’t think he would have appreciated it. Maybe he was just fatigued. This was shot very early on a Sunday morning.
” Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! / Look to this Day! / For it is Life, the very Life of Life. / In its brief course lie all the / Verities and Realities of your Existence. / The Bliss of Growth, / The Glory of Action, / The Splendor of Beauty; / For Yesterday is but a Dream, / And To-morrow is only a Vision; / But To-day well lived makes / Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, / And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. / Look well therefore to this Day! / Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!” - Kalidasa Inspiration and true peace come from that still small voice only heard when we take the time to slow down and observe. As I have often become too wrapped up in the relentless pace of society and the growing demands placed upon my energy and time I’ve discovered how truly vital it is for me to make the time to be still and listen. It is in those quiet times I become free. It is in those moments I find some inspired wisdom and the strength to carry the weights and resposibilities I hold. Without it I become a miserable shadow of a former self like seeing someone else’s reflection staring back at you in a mirror. There is too much beauty still to be found in life to waste the time I have been given by being over-run by the lesser joys of living or the many anxieties which can overpower the daily schedule.

A snow man can be a boys best friend…until the summer rolls around, then things get messy. (I really just wanted to see how this would look on a shirt, if you want an explanation of the image look for it under “art.” I’m much too lazy to type it again.)

Here’s me at 16 months of age in 1976,, my dad took this photo and he’s also always been into photography. I scanned it in and in photoshop I took out the scratches. This is only up for the ‘Baby faces of Red Bubble Members’ group..
This photo was taken December 6/08 at the Dojo where we had a “fun day” for the little kids from 4-7 years old with games and kata and pizza and a movie – this is Amy taking a rest / Canon S5 on a zoom then changed to B&W / focal 37.8 mm – exposure 1/60 – aperture f/3.5 – ISO 800
This was a shot taken a couple of weeks ago, the gent had just sat down and the car was just passing and was glad I had caught at least one shot of the stillness of the sitter against the city walls and York Minster against the passing of the car. This is Bootham Bar leading into High Petergate, bar being old word for gate and gate meaning street. Hence the term barring the gate, now used for putting the gate back across the space into the field or space. Converted into infrared to bring the shadows out.

This is a corner of my sitting room; a lovely place to sit and read with fresh breeze blowing in the window, where I keep some precious photos of my three sons (and girlfriend of one of them!). White pleases me, it’s so calming, clean and fresh.

At age thirteen, he began a three-year apprenticeship with a lithographer and then his interest in painting led him to take an art course at the École Nationale de Dessin. Like most other fledgling artists, Chéret studied the techniques of various artists, past and present, by visiting Paris museums. He was trained in lithography in London, England, from 1859 and 1866, where he was strongly influenced by the British approach to poster design and printing. On returning to France, influenced by the scenes of frivolity depicted in the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard and other Rococo artists such as Antoine Watteau, Chéret created vivid poster ads for the cabarets, music halls, and theaters such as the Eldorado, the Olympia, the Folies Bergères, Theatre de l’Opera, the Alcazar d’Été and the Moulin Rouge. So much in demand was he, that he expanded his business to providing advertisements for the plays of touring troupes, municipal festivals, and then for beverages and liquors, perfumes, soaps, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. Eventually he became a major advertising force, adding the railroad companies and a number of manufacturing businesses to his client list. As his work became more popular and his large posters displaying modestly free-spirited females found a larger audience, pundits began calling him the “father of the women’s liberation.” Females had previously been depicted in art as prostitutes or puritans. The women of Chéret’s posters, joyous, elegant and lively – ‘Cherettes’, as they were popularly called — were neither. It was freeing for the women of Paris, and lead to a noticeably more open atmosphere in Paris where women were able to engage in formerly taboo activities, such as wearing low-cut bodices and smoking in public. These ‘Cherettes’ were widely seen and recognised, and a writer of the time said “It is difficult to conceive of Paris without its ‘Cheréts’.” In 1895, Chéret created the Maîtres de l’Affiche collection, a significant art publication of smaller sized reproductions featuring the best works of ninety-seven Parisian artists. His success inspired an industry that saw the emergence of a new generation of poster designers and painters such as Charles Gesmar and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. One of his students was Georges de Feure. In his old age Jules Chéret retired to the pleasant climate of the French Riviera at Nice. He died in 1932 at the age of ninety-six and was interred in the Cimetière Saint-Vincent in the Montmartre Quarter of Paris. He was awarded the Légion d’honneur by the French Government in 1890 for his outstanding contributions to the graphic arts. Although his paintings earned him a certain respect, it was his work creating advertising posters, taken on just to pay his bills but eventually his dedication, for which he is remembered today. In 1933 he was honored with a posthumous exhibition of his work at the prestigious Salon d’Automne in Paris. Over the years, Chéret’s posters became much sought after by collectors from around the world.
