This is my personal blog, not a venue for saleable images. In fact, because it's here that I share things that are important to me with the members of the moblog community, photo quality's not my priority. Events, occasions, achievements, thoughts, trips and experiments - you'll find them all here. Contact me for the development version of my photo portfolio, for a selection of saleable images or visit my dance photography blog or my website for cuttings. And remember that all photos remain my copyright unless I've specifically said otherwise.

"Every time I see an adult on a bicycle I no longer despair for the future of the human race"
........ H G Wells
"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better"
........ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Luck favours the prepared mind"
........ Louis Pasteur
"Never to get lost is not to live, not to know how to get lost brings you to destruction, and somewhere in the terra incognita in between lies a life of discovery."
........ Rebecca Solnit
"Give, give, give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine."
........ Isabel Allende
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
........ Harold Thurman Whitman
"The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes...."
........ Marcel Proust
"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.. you have no such accurate remembrance of a country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle...."
........ Ernest Hemingway
"Ambition leads me not only father than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it is possible for man to go."
........ James Cook
"The grand show is enternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapour is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."
........ John Muir
"The bicycle is the most civilised conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart."
........ Iris Murdoch
"Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your picture...."
........ Don McCullin

Dhamaka says:
thank you - I only had my phonecam so couldn't do much with the light. Some of my shots were too dark even to play with and I decided not to try and fix the images too much...
also I hate using the flash on my camphone, it kills the atmosphere..
Dhamaka says:
thank you Sahara - it was
I wonder if J and M have seen them yet..
winespy says:
sorry not yet, they're with Jerry
can't wait for them to get back (late evening - another)
Kostika says:
WHat a fantastic shot!
I usually avoid using my flash also. It just kills the feeling and the lightig of most images.
Dhamaka says:
thanks all
chocolate - absolutely!
ktricho - J's a better Seeker than him
Dhamaka says:

winespy says:
J - can't believe it, well done x I'M FLYING AND THE MUGGLE BEHIND ME IS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS!
M - excellent picture D, love it x

Dhamaka says:
Pleased you like it
I know... I remember at the time being puzzled because he wandered over the road right into the camera's line of site - and then he sat down! He must have been having a really heavy conversation!
OK Joker, here's how it was done...
MaggieD says:
Lovely bit of photoshopping, I knew it had to be, but did not think of a bannister .... well you do not get many of them that well placed in Central London :)

I promised myself that I'd not take longer than 2 hours doing both - if I had taken longer they'd have been a lot better
