Interesting photographs.

The hunting regs are very strict out here, all those wee uns can walk around completely protected 12 months a year...actuelly I think there maybe a youth hunt for a weekmor,two in the fall. Having said that, they get the Fish and Game rules same as we do, then they're nowhere to be seen

Alright you're off the hook (as it were). I am happy to accept your formal invite to enjoy the big blue skies and inevitable hunting disappointment that follows. Looking forward to it. Hands across the ocean. ;-)
It's probably better than living within 400 yds of the most polluted road in Scotland.

Fisherman. One of my own.

One of your own? As in you took the picture? It's brilliant.

Margaret Bourke-White photographing in a position you would never see me in.
My feet are tensing just looking at it.

Then Annie Leibovitz paid homage:

I get a shiver looking at those images. Not just my terror of the situation but the beauty of the shots.

 

[DrBlueBob]

There are few modern photographers who divide opinion like Leibovitz, perhaps Martin Parr?, I'm a fan of both but perhaps I'm easily pleased

Love Annie's work. Not aware of Parr and too late tonight to become acquainted but I shall explore on the morrow. Thankyou.

Tis a rough road out here, many flounder

Taken better on my phone

probably, but when printed at 6 foot by 12 foot the resolution on your iphone pic wouldn't do so well, this on the other hand is (apparently, cos I haven't seen it) crystal clear :)

Martin Parr is nothing like AL in his work, I only mentioned him because he seems to evoke the same polar opposite responses

Then Annie Leibovitz paid homage:

but who took the photograph of the photographers...?

Nice to see,a Peter Swales tv there..

Yeah, I was thinking that with all the loot Frank had he'd have treated himself to a big fuck off 60in smart telly before Comet when tits up!

 

[somapop]

great little documentary. Thanks for sharing.

Right. I'm up. I shall Google him and see. Surprised that AL evokes a polar response. All about opinions I suppose.

I can’t unsee that now!

When I first moved to the States, one of the things that used to throw me was that light switches are placed that bit lower on the wall than in the UK. I was always reaching for them as I came through a door and pawing the wall just above them. Now I’ve been here 20 years, I have the same issue in reverse when I go back to the UK.

Anyway, back to the picture; looks like Frank is relaxing in an Eames paired with a wonderful Frank Reenskaug Danish rocking chair. Good stuff.

Impressed with your knowledge of the furniture.

And another. “The Waiting Miner”.

I know that place ! Spent many an hour in my lycra there ;)

 

[DrBlueBob]

Who is that? I can only see a young Ken Dodd. I like the shot btw.
