smoke on wheels…
Love the lighting and great picture!
Check out fairly out of focus !
These, as you will appreciate, are not your usual holiday snaps and although I have lots of photos of elegant temples, noble forts and palm fringed beaches, it’s these more prosaic scenes that I find more rewarding. Certainly I have gained greater confidence in photographing people in the street and at their workplace while in India and this has allowed me to venture into workshops like this.
This small engineering workshop is next door to the laundry you will have visited with me earlier. It’s equipped with some heavy machinery and is clearly not short of work. I’m not sure of the wisdom of wearing loose clothing with all those lathes about, but this is India…..
Great shot! Sure gives us insight into how things are and can be done in different parts of the world, everyday life always makes for the best pictures!
Could even make a great blog, people in the workplace from around the world!

Having lunch one day in Hyde Park when I saw “Toothy Dancer” getting up and dancing to a busker like nobody’s watching for a good 30 minutes or so. He was having an absolute blast and it didn’t matter whether or not there were people walking past poking fun at how he was dancing or that he was singing along to some of the tunes. He looked happier than everyone else around him.
(edit: I’ve uploaded a video of him in action to YouTube – see it here)
Bit shitty about missing the focus of the girl jumping in the last photo but what can you do? I’ll try to be better prepared next time!
Great shots, look pretty darn good to us!

“The thin island of Cijin is a very popular day trip from Kaohsiung. Just a quick ferry ride from the Kaohsiung harbor and you’re right near the bustling seafood street, where you might just find the “best seafood” in all of Kaohsiung or Taiwan. We did not. It wasn’t terrible or anything, just not as amazing as some of the other places we’d eaten so far. And nowhere near the deliciousness that is the Temple Street Night Market in Kowloon Hong Kong. Best ever if you ask me.
However, the area does reek of photogenic. From the local fishermen, excited tourists, various vendors and roaming packs of wild dogs, the place is a photographer’s delight. Not to mention the amazing Matsu Temple (Tianhou Temple at Cihou). Especially once the daylight went away. I might just do a whole post on the photos I shot of that thing! For now here’s some of my faves from the day.

iamrin writes, “In the Spring of 2009, my dear Jamie and I wandered through the Hirshhorn Museum (part of the Smithsonian). In addition to seeing the great Louise Bourgeois retrospective, we wandered downstairs and caught a very cool exhibit – Strange Bodies: Figurative Works from the Hirshhorn Collection.
One of the most fascinating pieces was the Big Man – an incredibly detailed sculpture that sat in a corner, almost seven feet tall. It was incredibly compelling, to the point where we got so close… we actually set off the alarms… Bad form.These photos were taken with a point & shoot, so the quality is not amazing. But still worth a look! “
Wow, amazing!
