We tend to visit regularly one picturesque museum in Helsinki, Taidehalli or Kunsthalle, with changing exhibitions. It's special for us, because architect designed that building has designed our Villa we are living in. This time there was retrospective of Finnish iconic designer: Kaija Aarikka...

This smoke just rolled in over the last hour. Apparently, we are surrounded by three separate fires. If you look closely, you can just see the trees across the street in the second image.

March for Palestine" London 11th November 2023. Packing my Sony A7iv paired with Sony 35mm f/1.8. My usual caveat....I just photograph what I see, I don't take sides or show favours

So what do I mean? Show nativity, Christmas, Kwanza, Hannukah, or any other holiday stuff you want, religious, secular - no restrictions! Just share some great images! We had such a good response to the Halloween 2023. You may be asking yourself, why so early? Well, I'm already have seen...

The festival was technically early but it was a fun time. I had both the Leica M10-R w/ 50 Summicron and the CL with the 11-23 Vario with me.

André Evard, a Suiss artist with an impressive variety of styles and techniques, is unjustly so little known. This exhibition in a small, private museum shows that he was one of the great painters of the 20th century. The famous architect Le Corbusier was among his friends during his studies...

My daughter wanted to a Mystics and Oddities Fair today and who am i to turn down a chance to get some shutter time in! Nikon Z8 and the Z 28-75/2.8 and 70-180/2.8 AF-C with 3D auto focus human eye detect was used. ISO was fluxuating between 640 and 14400, depending on where they were and what...

I've been attending this show for the last few years and had lots of fun wandering around taking photos. I thought you might like to join me on a retro-tour. I'll split the photos into categories and will start with Cattle, Pigs and Sheep. This young lady hadn't travelled far and was an...

The International arms Fair (DSEI) will be exhibiting at the Excel Centre, London Docklands 12th-15th September this year. It is fun and can produce drama as very committed anti-arms protestors try (and often do) outwit police to attach themselves to wagons with glue, or lay in the road to...

The neighboring small (Oregon) town of Ashland boasts an annual 4th of July parade, in honor of "Independence Day", celebrated across the United States. (For those who don't know, the 'Declaration of Independence' was signed by the Americans revolting against the English monarchy on July 4th...

Dayton Ohio has an automobile museum - containing a large collection of Packard's as well as cars related to the company. First, the outside of the museum - it once was a Packard dealership. 1 2 The museum is structured in what they called a pre-war and post war sectioning (WWII). This is...

I found this interesting fellow and his traveling...thing at a Tiny Home exhibition in Placerville, California.

I went to the Washed Ashore exhibit at the South Coast Botanical Garden this morning. Pretty amazing. A little excerpt from the site: Washed Ashore – Art to Save the Sea Opens at the Garden On April 1 Trash is making a splash in the Garden this spring. Come see beautiful sculptures made of...

Mohammed Ali (Cassius Clay) and Xaviera Hollander (the Happy Hooker) On a speaking tour at my University of Calgary. Pictures for the student paper.

I thought this would make a interesting show case thread, though it'll probably be a hard one to keep active. Inspired from a little project I did revisiting some spots where I had photos taken as a kid, with my own child. Post Office Square in Brisbane Lions in front of Brisbane City Hall

Reitz home museum This story is about culture, and although its photographical merits are very few, if any, I hope you find it entertaining. Today we spent few hours in a museum which is extraordinary in Finland. As a young sovereign country, our country developed quickly in the 1920s and...

Little Fiona having a birthday party, and we are invited. Of course. The Gift After a little while spent eating and drinking we spend the rest of the night debating. More or less. And that’s what fifteen years always in front of a camera does to you - it becomes just...

My granddaughter takes lessons at a nearby horse ranch. They like to think outside of the box occasionally, so these past few weeks they've been teaching horseback archery. The end goal is to shoot at and hit three targets while at a canter. I guess if the Mongols every invade they'll be ready...

Since Ohio has decided to grace us with third winter, decided to walk about the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium today. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

In Finland we have this privilege to have tradition of artists and designers. It must be related to the fact that our nation is fairly young, or at least our sovereignty is. One can always learn a new name and wonder their career and thinking. And they are highly respected, especially nowadays...

Mik Critchlow has passed away aged 68 (frightening.....same age as me!). He documented the hard lives of the working class folk; especially miners, in the north east of the country. He has left a legacy of wonderful material for future historians to look back on and comment "Did people really...

Since Gabrielle lots of places where we walk our dogs are closed, or inaccessible, and likely to be for months. I drove down Ormond Road, thinking I'd be able to access the limestone pathway there. I had forgotten this area was badly affected during the cyclone, and the road was closed, and...

This is a continuation of a project I started with the Single in February challenge. I'm not going repost all the verbiage and photos, but will update off and on as I continue to make progress. You can read the setup here: Single In - Single in February (SiF) 2023: Here we go again ... The...

Protest & Vigil: The war in Ukraine. I attended the vigil and subsequent march on the Russian Embassy here in London on Friday 24th February (1yr anniversary). I thought I might get some reasonable shots. These are a few of the most animated, young chap with a serious case of burning anger.

I know there's already an existing signs thread, but perhaps there's room for a thread dedicated to ghost signs? I love these old remnants of bygone days and I'd love to see any examples others would care to share. I've decided to be bold and create such a thread here. Admins/ moderators, if...

How bizarre. Looking for some of my old protest shots on flickr and it fails to find any photo from anyone where "Protest" is in the title. I just get the "Bad Panda" screen. If I search for any other subject matter, dog, people, cars, landscapes etc it is ok and finds volumes of stuff.

The theme is flight. I can be birds, it can be planes, as long as it embodies "flight"

They say, all good things must end no forever in love and the sadness eats away my smile not what you thought I am but a lost soul, my smile a masque bound always, you said But...I am still here the rictus grin, I am still here....... a clown until I am dust. The Grimaldi memorial day at...

Hey everyone! You may have heard about the flooding we had here yesterday. It's similar to what happened in Europe before. It's a one-in-250 year event and our infrastructure, like most in the modern West are designed to withstand 1-in-100 year events, depending on climate, of course. Here is a...

One of our friends is a photographer for our local McClatchy newspaper. He has won many awards for his photos and videos including a Grammy for his video of Father Emil Kapaun's journey from a Priest dying in captivity in the Korean war to his status close to sainthood. It covered his return...

We went to the Cloud Museum, which is in the tiny town of Bard, CA. It is reported to have one of the largest collections of Ford Model Ts in the world. Most of the vehicles and farm equipment there are in unrestored condition, but there are quite a few vehicles that appear to be in excellent...

Every year, the Placerville Friends of Tibet sponsor a small group of Tibetan Monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery (backstory here) to come to this Northern California area to painstakingly make a beautiful sand mandala over a two-week period, which is then destroyed (to illustrate the cycle of...

I recently moved from a very small town to a suburb near Seattle (Mercer Island). I'm working in downtown Seattle. So you know what that means. Lots of photos! I intend to put general images which aren't better suited to specific genres into this thread so you can follow along with my...

In Raerd (Friesland) is a small motorcycle museum. It is only open during the Christmas holidays between Christmas and New Year's Day. I was there on New Year's Eve. Bad conditions, a dark day with a lot of rain, while the light in the room where the motorcycles are parked is only illuminated by...

Went on a "double date" with some friends to the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The weather is utter trash at the moment and not at all fun to be outside...so this made a lot of sense for us as a destination. Fun fact - I told my wife before we left that she got to pick my...

Every year for at least the last 15 years, my wife and I have been lucky to have been asked to help the Young Lawyers of our Bar Association with their annual chosen charity, the homeless residents of the Salvation Army. Every year, I take my camera and accessories to the residence hall for...

Purported to be the largest collection of Catholic related art in the United States. Located in Columbus, Ohio in the Catholic Foundation Building as of 2020. The collection is so large at this point, they are looking for a larger facility. Lots of images to share, so will do as I have done in...

I visited this same museum in the past but at that time, I used the Fuji X100. It did admirably. Weather being sub-optimal for a good walk about today - I decided to revisit the AMA museum again - but this time really put the Ricoh GR III to the test. I took quite a few images, so will...
